day 3.. It's getting worse!

Goodmorning fellow addicts. I wanted to thank yous for helping me through this. I'm now clean day 3. I HATE IT!! I know this is for the bigger picture but once again I'm staring out my window wishing a majic pill fairy would kindly drop a huge pot of percocets on my porch.. This is sick. I feel like I would give a million bux again!
I know to excpect this and I'm trying to work through it but this aint easy. Again I slept for 7 hours. But as soon as I'm awake I feel like going for the hunt. There is a bonus here I dont know anybody! So while not impossible it would be hard. What do yous do to put your mind somewhere else?

dess, day three is just a REALLY sucky ,day four tends to be about as sucky ,then days do start to suck alittle less each day after :). I used Ltyorsine (LOVED IT) and exercise really really helped me .
One day at a time girlie you will do just fine

remember you will be on a rollercoaster ride and that just when it seems the most dismal, you will catch a second wind.

I'm not sure if stackers would help. They dont contain ephedrine anymore but they still list them as a energy pill. I have tried the stackers and they didnt do anything to me except make me edgy while I was sleepy. Of course I am used to the ephedrine so that may be why they didnt help with my energy. Be very careful though if you do take the stackers. A girl I knew accidently O/D ed, on them and died. And once when I was trying to get off the ephedrine I took 3 at one time when it called for 1 or 2 thinking my body is used to stuff like this and I SWEAR I thought I was literally dying. I was sweating, vomiting, my chest was hurting, I was dizzy and my hearing was very very faint like people was a million miles away when they were really right in front of me. I just layed on my bed and my hubby rubbed me and cuddled me through it all until eventually after about 3 hours I started feeling better but I had already told my husband that if it didnt stop to take me to the ER. So be very careful with those. What is it your wanting, something for energy or sleep? If its energy have you tried that "5 hour energy" bottle? They sell it in the convienant stores usually right on the counter, its a little red bottle that says 5 hour energy. Its like 4.99 . It works pretty good and it doesnt have anything bad in it. It tastes nasty though cause it has alot of minerals in it. It just doesnt last that long. Not for me at least:) Have you tried reading a good book which might get your mind somewhere diff. or if not might put you to sleep? I know its hard, I have been there nailbitting wanting so bad to get some or wanting some to just feel normal again, but your 3 days into it girl! You cant give up, you can do this, it will get better. Hang in there:) Feel free to email me or IM me, Im on yahoo talk and also google talk. Take care

I was addicted to percs also years ago(dr prescribed) i was taking 100 pills per week and doc cut me off cold turkey without warning. It was the worst week of my life...i did not sleep, eat, drink or anything for the whole week.  I know that once the week was over I was so happy to be off of them and not be dependant on them anymore, I preferred the pain to the pills.  The only real side effect i had was it messed up my hormones and ended up on anti-depressants to control my temper, never got depressed.  I am on this site because i made the mistake of asking the dr for oxy for back pain and this time i have learned my lesson.  Just hearing your story brings me back to that week and I feel so bad for you......I know you can do it especially if you are in day 3 your half way there GREAT JOB.

Ok no stackers. I need some juice. The store is 2 blocks away but it feels like 2 miles.
The terrible thing about the pill fairy is I actually imagine this kind **** will happen. Awake dreams or something. I dunno but for that 10 or so minutes that I'm making the story up in my head I feel fine. Crazy.. I feel like my body is pissed at me and it's going what the hell are you doing to me? I look terrible or the walk to the store might be a great idea. If I can muster the energy to brush my mop I'm walking in my slippers and all.
Thanks you all you are a GREAT BIG help

Day 3 & 4 were the worst - I counted down hours until the end of those days.  Just get through one hour at a time.  Go for a walk if you can. (Kill a half hour).  Go to a movie. (Hour and a half.)  I sneezed a lot, too!  I'd always sneeze twice.  Isn't that funny?  I am laughing so hard about the pill fairy dropping the pot of percocets on your porch!  You kill me!

I actually tried to take stackers for energy the first time I detoxed, and it was a BAD choice. The stackers will only make ur heart race and give u more anxiety. It made me soooo anxious, but my body was still SOOO weak. It was a horrible feeling..Like I drank way too much coffee......Good luck,,

Try watching a movie possib;e a chick flick or something thats a comedy I highly recomend knocked up...Maybe that will take you're mind off of things and I think a confusing movie would make you a bit on edge I know it would me...

Youre doing great I think day 3 may be the worste ask liscamdave she went c/t aswell
