day 3 ct oxy
Woke up this morning from a hard night. I really thought the worst was behind me, but it was a nother bad, bad night.
Today I feel restless, tired, "itchy" tingly and so on. Severe dry mouth.
The worst thing is my ears are plugged big time. I cannot hear. All I hear is my heart beat (which is a good thing, lol) and the ringing.
The wife took the kids to the movies because everything was irritating me. I know what it is, so I hold my words, hug my kids, hug my wife, tell them I love them, then I walk away.
The RLS and arms have not stopped.
So, am I normal? I feel like I should be better today, but I do not feel it.
I need some input. PLease

OH I KNOW ...BUT ALOT OF PEOPLE CAN RELATE TO THIS PROBLEM AND READ ALL THESE POSTS LOOKING FOR SOME COMFORT....I KNOW I WASNT TALKING TO THE ORIGINAL POSTER , BUT TO SOME ONE IN SAME BOAT....
THE THING WITH THESE DEVIL PILLS ARE THAT THEY DULL ALL THE SENSES...HEARING , FEELING SEEING SMELL AND TOUCH...THEY CLOG EM UP...WHEN WE STOP ALL OUR SENSES COME BACKON AND ARE HEIGHTED TO THE MAX....ALONG WITH ANXIETY...BUT OUR BODIES ARE WONDERFULLY MADE TO BALANCE THIS OUT....BUT NOT OVER NIGHT....
Your both are doing great in making the commitment in quiting the pills. I am not sure how much this will help but this it the time line i went through. I went c/t off 12 yrs of Morphing and vic 12 days ago.
day 1-3 felt like "Holy HELL" Hot baths helped
day 4-5 Became wormed over s**t Still sleep was hard to come
by
day 5-7 Very emotional "big man me crying all the time. Started to get some sleep few hours. But you know few is better than 0
day 6-8 cravings were strong. This will be the biggest barrier but it will pass
day 7-9 restless starts to settle down but not go away
day 10 Went outside and it looked as if some one turned the sun on bright
day 10 -12 Feel real good a little worn out from putting my body through the c/t detox process. However the carvings are not there. The memory of "HELL WEEK" is too fresh. I am done with pills. On day I0 I even tore up two scrips for morphine I could have cashed in and sent them back to the Dr.
Well I don't know if that helped but there it is.
PS I am up a 6:00 because it is my normal time to get up. Not because I can't sleep. Keep fighting every day and by next week you will be feeling great and glad you sucked it up.

I get fear thing your wife has going on. Yesterday my wife told me that she has been "alone" in this marriage for so long that she was starting to think I did not want her around anymore. God, how did I let that happen? The woman I pledged my life to thinks I don't love her anymore. I woke up just in time.
Hang in there, and yes it is 2:43am with no sleep in sight for me so I spend time talking with friends here. I am pulling for you. Man you are soooo close to finishing this thing. Please don't look back. There is a demon in that bottle wanting to drag you back to Hell. Don't let that happen... you are too close.
I have confidence in you. You sound like a very caring and concerned individual and you deserve a clean beautiful life.
Got get it!!!!!!

Thanks guys.
I really thought I would be better by now. I am just so tired.
I worked out today too, Hard. I want to get this gone and move on. It is almost midnight and I just cannot sleep. I'm tired, but my head will not let me sleep. My mind is racing.
I took a xanex about 10 mins ago and I hope that helps calm me. What the hell, just another drug I'll have to quit.
My eyes have never been this red. I looked at my wife and I saw fear in her. She will never admit to it, but she is scared, She is staying as strong as she can through this.
So, this is the end of day 3 and day four is in 9 minutes. It will be better then, right? haha.
What can I expect for tomorrow? Will I be able to stop shaking and at least relax? Will my mind calm down?
To all that have done this before, wow.
This is my fault, but why didn't my Dr. tell me about this? I really just thought they were going to help with my pain. I never even abused. Just did what she said.
I am rambling and waiting for mind to stop for a while, forgive me.
Any words out there?

After day 4 you should start feeling better. Just don't let your head trick you into thinking your not, thats the addiction talking. Good Luck and Congrats!
You are a day ahead of me so I guess I have something to look forward to. Thanks for that!! On the bright side you are aware of your situation and are actively keeping your emotions in check which is a great thing for your wife who is having to watch you wrench your guts out. It is not just you, but, both of you going through this even if you have the worse end of the bargain. No kids here but we have dogs and my wife has to do all the care for them and take down Christmas lights by herself and clean the house, and clean the yard... well it goes on. Remember to be kind to her as you are.
I am really excited for you because you only have two more days to turn the corner. Keep up the fight and keep posting even if it is just a ramble because it keeps your mind busy. Notice how this response is? Just rambling here... but I am proud of your success.

If you can post, that's SOMETHING! That's about all I could do for 3-4 days. I am at day 9, now. The horrible part is soon to be a memory, my friend.
You might have an ear infection. See if your wife can shine a flashlight in your ears and check out the situation.
My ex, who is a martial arts fighter always had plugged up ears. Those little kits you get at the drug store for cleaning out ears are really good. You have to do it a lot before you get the wax out.
If it is an infection, you would need to get antibacterial drops from a Dr., so if you can check it out, do so. You get relief pretty quickly from the drops.
The big deal is your efforts you have already put in. Be proud and "keep your eye on the prize"
