When Should I start to feel Normal again

[wanttobecleanmom79]

Hello it has been 15 hours since I last took a pill, I am using Klodopin to try and help ease some of the withdrawl affects and it seems to be helping. I started using when I had a car accident back in 2006 and had to go through some intense Phsyical Therapy. I was prescribed Loratab 10 mg and Soma's. later on when the insurance ran out and I could no longer afford to go to the doctor to get my prescription I then started using Oxycotin and Methadone. When I moved to a new state I had no trouble coming off those meds and dealt with any withdrawal that I had with ease. I then started using Percocets and Vicodins to help ease my pain, but the thing I realized that I got great energy from those and soon was not only taking them for the pain, but I was also taking them for the energy. I was soon realizing that when the pills would wear off I would feel lethargic and I would have no energy and my limbs felt like dead weight. so I would take a pill to keep from feeling like that and to be able to get things done that I needed to do.I then started to take Suboxone to help me get off the Percs and Vics and I was on that for about 8 months, I weined myself off that and started to go through intense withdrawals so I started to take the percs to help ease them and before I knew it I was right back on the Percs again. I am now in the process of getting off them and that is where the 15 hours until my last pill kicked in. I still get intense back pain, but I am hoping that the tramadol will help. I have joined the Gym and am doing Yoga to help stretch and strengthen the muscles that have astrophened (wasted away). 15 Hours in I have diarrhea and the immodin is helping with that. The Klodopin's have helped tremedously with the cold sweats and restless leg, I have no energy, but after a workout I do feel a little better and the Klodopin is also helping me sleep. I feel extremely sick to my stomach, I know the worst has yet to hit as this is not my first ride at the rodeo, but I am hoping to sleep through much of it. I have a great support system and a husband who is willing to handle everything as I go through this.

My question is about how long can I expect to go through this? When should I start feeling better? and last but not least, When should I start to feel normal? You know when will I start to feel energized again.

No I don't do any aftercare, I am doing this solo, I have my husband and family for support. Staying sober isn't the hardest part for me it is dealing with my intense back pain that I suffer from. So that is something I have to learn to deal with. Thank you for answering me. I just hope that I start to feel some type of energy soon. I feel so energyless and just plain blahhhhhh....

hoping to feel better soon.

Oops sry I accidentally hit post before I meant to but te mental lingers on a few weeks. There are vitamins you can take and the exercise will def help however after reading your story I'm curious do you do any aftercare? It seems like it may be helpful to you if you had some aftercare like counseling AA or whatever else. I've always found it's easier to get sober but staying sober is the hard part

The physical withdrawal usually last about a week and the mental lingers
