DAY 6 WITHOUT VIC

[mshell62]

I just realized I was on day 6.  I got confused, I guess.  (Imagine that). January 5th was my first day without.  This explains why night before last was a very bad night.  Like I had a bad flu.  (night 4, I think).  It was a really strange night.  My joints ached so much.

But I feel really good.  Not sleeping as much as I'd like to, but that will come, I am sure.  My crazy work schedule doesnt help.

Well, All keep on hanging in there.

I would try to stay away from the Valerian.  It does work, but the problem is it is somewhat of a diuretic, so it can cause you to wake up to pee all night......depends on the person.  I took it with the melatonin and it knocked me out so bad I pee'd the bed a couple times.....lol.  So I got rid of the Valerian and just took more melatonin and it works pretty well.  Good luck, and I hope you get sleep soon.

I feel like I am in another "zone".  The "real" zone.  Its amazing.  I forgot how it felt to be "clear".  When I did vicodin, I thought THAT was a good feeling.  But this is truly SO much better.  Vicodin is so insidious.  It sneaks up on you.  

I am even so much more calm.  I had been snapping at my children/husband.  I am finding I am more even keeled.

Thanks for all of your encouragement.  "I Feel Good"!

Super job! Day 6 is a good day. Every day starts to get better. Are you enjoying the clarity in your mind? I sure did.

I have taken valerian root, but I am out of that.  I will try the melatonin.

Its strange, I have not been sleeping much, HOWEVER, I feel good?!!  I dont' feel "exhausted" like I used to on vicodin.  I guess because the vic I would get HIGH and then come down fast.. dont know...

Oh well, hope you are doing ok.  Hope you got some sleep?

Take care
