Still doing pretty good. . .

Im not sure what day Im on now three four maybe? I know its been hell even with the hydro and benzos. NOt helping a bit my hubbie had some trazadone and I took a half of one last night for sleep but nothing. I havent slept in 3 nights. My legs are starting to ache badly. Im down to one green ten and not sure if I can get anything for in the morning. That seems to be when I need it the most. But you all will be happy to know that a "friend" stopped by today and brought me a 40 and as tempting as it was I just told him nah, Im seriously quitting. He obnoxiously waved it in my face. Ahhh I couldve killed him. Whatta guy aye? On a more serious note, I have gotten down to like 110 lbs already and Im pretty sure Im dehydrated,been trying to drink alot of liquids, just keep throwing them up. I havent even thought about eating! awwkk! I have come down from hydro before but never the oxy's, not completely. When should I expect to gain my appietite back, and lose the insomnia. You would think that with as many benzos as I am taking I would be knocked out cold but I couldnt get that lucky.

hey hun, if ya can, try not to take too many benzo's (or any) during they day, that way they will help you at night for sleep.

you may have built up a tolerance to those, therefore they're not knocking you out..

How many Benzo's are you taking.  You have to be really careful about that because if you take too many, it will make your withdrawals longer and worse.  I know that from experience. Please be careful with the benzo's.

You are almost over that hump. Keep going strong and you'll be there in no time! Just try and take a few sips of water every 10 minutes or so. Try and eat something that's easy on the stomach like toast or crackers. If you can get some fluids and food in you it should help. The insomnia was what I hated the most! It just sucks when you're so tired but can't sleep. You'll notice very shortly how you're able to get a little more sleep everyday. Great willpower on telling your friend no! If I had someone stop by during my withdrawals I don't know if I could have done that. You're a strong person! Best of luck and don't look back! You don't want to let these past few days go to waste because you know one day you'll have to go through it again if you slip up. But slipping up isn't an option right? I'm rooting for ya!

Absolutely, do not give up, you have come this far, keep on going!  Drink those fluids, I have no idea how long you'll feel like this, but there must be a little light soon!  Good luck to you!  You are brave!
