Which is Better?

Today is day 6 for me quitting cold turkey and I actually went shopping today! YAY ME!! Anyway, I do feel better but the energy just isnt picking up much. By the time we went grocery shopping and back home Im just down. I actually slept for the first night last night all through the night. I went to bed at 8:30 woke briefly looked at the clock said 430 laid back down and went back out until 6am! So that makes it better somewhat.
Since I couldnt find the L-Tyrosine I got Stress B-Complex with vitamin c and zinc then I also found at walgreens a Balanced B-100 Complex.

Can someone tell me which would be better for quick energy and how long it would maybe take to get it? Thanks!

We live off fake energy as long as we take those things. Thats all it is is fake energy.
Now our bodies just have to learn to make that natural energy again. And it will in time.
I found an alertness pill kinda like a caffine pill and each pill is equivalent to one cup of coffee I took one yesterday and it helped alot.

But then again there is fake energy so I think ill stay away from anything like that. And just take the womens one a day or the stress b complex.

Thats good to hear!  Because I hate this feeling but the way I look at it is that my poor body was put through the wringer for so long it needs time to mend!  I'm glad you got a good nights rest and I'm going to look into Stress-B complex.  I think these pills rob your body of nutrients which is just one of MANY great reasons for never taking them again!! Take care!! :)

No I know its not permanent! I remember my first time around it was 17 days but that was a 2 year addiction. This time for me it was only 5 months! Not any better because it doesnt matter if its 1 day or 50 years! Its all the same!

It didnt take over night for use to do this to our body so it def isnt going to take over night to get it better! It takes time but I at this moment have to make myself get up and go!

But I slept so good last night, I just hope I cant tonight! GOOD LUCK!

Hi Stacy, I too have zero energy but I mananged to do laundry and scrub floors today!  Which sounds so stupid because when I first started taking the pills years back I had so much energy then torwards the end before I quit the energy would only last about 1/2 hour after taking the pills the back to zero.  I hope your energy comes back, I know exactly how you feel I am on day 7 and I'm praying this lack of energy isn't permanent! Good luck!
