I always get tired in the late afternoon and evenings...so don't fret.  Just another phase...but soo much easier than the first few phases.

I was tired as hell last night...but had my personality and drive to kick it to the curb.  

Keep fighting brother...you are doing great.

1 week without pain killers and im doing good, last night i never taken any of my tablets that the doctor gave me and i had a good sleep 7 hours worth and this morning i felt good for once but when it got to this afternoon i started to feel weak, tired and moody so i guess the pain killers are still in my system.

Some muscle relaxers are life savers for some people they dont all make you lethargic everybody's body handles meds differently . Durning wd a MR was a life saver for me.  My doctor put
me on zanaflex ..... Would it work as well for you you never know because we are all different .Do make sure you set up recovery care  program now that you are off the pills so you can stay clean .Be very proud of yourself you are doing great !!!!!! one day at a time.

im not a drinker it's just damage from 10 years of taken pain killers

[JC1981]

thanks mate thats all i wanted to know if i would get any W/D from robaxin and i got my answer thanks again

And, from what you said, it seems as though your liver enzymes are elevated. It's fairly common with drug abuse (especially those containing tylenol) and alcohol abuse. As ling as they aren't highly elevated, it will resolve with clean time. Also, drinking will just continue the damage, so if you're a drinker...it would be best to quit.

[desperatetostop]

JC...I'm guessing yes...you will NOT have any w/d from the robaxin.

Sorry about the liver report...Good luck on wednesday.

and


CONGRATS on day 6!!!

[GA Guy]

The muscle relaxer you're taking has little to zero effect on your withdrawals. They will make you lethargic and sleepy, so they help with that aspect. But, stopping them will have no effect on how you feel as far as the withdrawals. You seem to be impatient through this process, and that scares me. You stated that you want to "beat this thing and fast". I'm afraid it doesn't work that way. I'm nearing 7 months now and I've had a week that rivals the first month I was clean. The fact is that this addiction is for life. The disease is chronic and incurable. But, it can be placed into remission with work and perseverance. My fear is that after a few days or weeks the pink cloud will lift, you'll have a few bad days, and return to active addiction. This is where the counseling will truly help. Continue with your counseling and pursue your recover with the same vigor that you placed into your addiction.

Good stuff, brother...right behind you...on day 5 and feeling spunky myself.  Can't wait ti have a Friday with no pills...been sssssssssssssooooooooooo long

[JC1981]

i will do and thanks, but the only thing is i don't know much about my liver been high or something like that.

[dominosarah]

Congrats on day 6!!!!   Am glad you are feeling better today.  Sounds like your doctor is on top of things.  Keep us posted.........sara

[JC1981]

well this is day 6 without pain killers and i feel alot better but i just got a phone call from the doctor saying that my blood tests have come in and the only thing wrong is that he said my liver is high or something like that, i will find out more on wednesday when i see the doctor.

[JC1981]

so when im done with them i should be find from W/D then is that what your saying ? if so the F' ING great lol

[desperatetostop]

Congrats on day 5!!! wahoo....

the robaxin never really affected me, i was taking it for muscle spasms too.  It really shouldn't affect your w/d symptoms which you should be on the better side of now.

Glad you're here!

[mendray]

Very good JC, I am happy for you , that you are on day 5, I am very happy to hear that people are doing anything and everythong in their power to stay clean, keep up the good work, I am only on day 3 and this site has help me tons....GOOD WORK!

[JC1981]

yeah i know, i just want to beat this thing and fast because i throw away 10 years of my life taken pills just to get a buzz and i want my 10 years back.

[dominosarah]

I am really glad you are telling the doctor everything.  That helps.

[JC1981]

yeah i told the doctor everything from taken pain killer  and nealry passing out when i went swimming, 2 days ago i had high bp and when i went back yesturday it went down so that was good.

[refusingbondage]

It might be just pure exhaustion.  You told the doc everything right, including feinting?? I think you said you did.  Could have been anything.  Tiredness.  Exertion from swimming.  Plus our blood pressure is unstable when we detox so a large dip, or rise, could cause light headedness. If you s/w the doc, I wouldnt worry about it too much.  I have normally very low bp, and just standing up too quickly can make me feint at times.

[JC1981]

yeah thats the only thing im doing, and just eatin here and there when i feel like it.

[dominosarah]

are you staying hydrated?

[JC1981]

thank for the comment, but one thing i wasn't on methocarbamol or any kind of tablets with i nearly past out i was on day 3 when it happend, i got methocarbamol  yesturday morning before i got my blood taken to find out my blood levels

[refusingbondage]

methocarbamol - I think the name brand is Robaxin.  It's a muscle relaxer.  Its a CNS depressant so make sure you do not drink any alcohol or take any other CNS depressant.  it could be what made you fall. Or you could just be exhausted.
Well in any event - congrats on day 5.  Thats great.  You are probably over the worst of it. Cheers (with apple juice) to that!
