Weakness AGAIN

by wings444, Jul 03, 2009 07:16AM
Im sorry
I keep posting this same question, Im just scared! Now is day 8 off my 20 perc aday addiction. Withdrawls are much more less. BUT I have absolutly NO energy at all!!!!! I went grocery shopping last night and had to go outside and sit down. Im taking about 3 hot baths a day. I even bought a foot soak bucket to fill with hot water just to get the heat (sounds silly but) Feels good. I thought by now I would at least have the energy to go for a nice nature walk which I love. Im totally exhausted. When I went to ER the other night they did all my blood work (not back yet) and did a full heart scan. Im so confussed. Im still not convinced I hav'nt done some serious damage to myself.
Please dont be impatient with me for posting about this gain. YOur all I have for answers atm. But I did get about 6 book from the library on addiction. If I can stay awake long enough to read them LOL


Thanks Once again

It took a good two weeks for me to get my energy back.  What helped me during this period was drinking two energy drinks during the day and taking two excederin with caffeine.  Everyone is different but this is what helped me.  Hang in there because each day gets better and better.  God Bless. LS

I found the amino L-Tyrosine to be helpful....500-1500mg per day before breakfast on empty stomach. Heating pad or blanket may come in handy right now. You are actually responding in a textbook fashion.....Your labs will likely come back normal. You will begin feeling better and the feeling will continue to get better as the days go by. Just dont go back there again.......you may want some good coffee or another caffeine product - - No one will be impatient with you. Ask away and post away - And best of luck to you!    eagle

   Don't be sorry for  posting, that's what everyone is here for..I agree with is6663.. I did the same thing, I drank a couple of energy drinks throughout the day and took a couple Excederin.. As a matter of fact, I still do that.. I'm a person who couldn't walk out the door, go to work or go to the store without taking a Vicodin.. I did that for 15 years.. I'm now 36 days clean, and doing better then ever!!! I didn't have energy at first but as each day goes by it gets better and better.. Just hang in there, you are doing great!!!  And remember it will get better and it will be so worth it!!!!

Thankyou
THis is so weird cause when I went shopping last night. I bought a case of 6 ensures. But I guess what you meant was those little bottle of the 6 hour energy drinks???
I will get them forsure if that will help. The reason I did perc in the first place was because I hate being lazy and tired Im not much of a benzo addict except coming off the percs I took to many for stupid reasons....I also have that L-Tyrosine but Im not taking them a sdirected but I sure will now!! I love you people thankyou soooo much!!!
