it s very normal to feel this depression....it happened to me.  i never thought i would be happy but then one day you wake up and you feel normal and happy.  i been clean 5 months and still have some depression but i think it s just life.  you will feel better soon just don t go back...fake happiness ok.  have you heard of sam-e?  i m thinking of getting some and if i do i ll let you know how it works.  it s supposed to be a mood enchancer.   hang in there...this shall pass..maria

I'm going throught the same thing. After retiring from pro. baseball and getting off the pain killers and I was taking a bunch, I just got depressed and took more.I decided to quit about 2 months ago and I'm just starting to clear up and some energy is returning. Your body is in shock, still. Your body and brain produces everything you need to deal with fatigue, pain, sadness and being happy. But while taking the narcotics, they replace all that and your body only produces it when the drug is in your system. When you quit your brain says, "What the hell"? And it waits on the drug to produce even normal levels of serotonin etc. It gets better but what ***** is we just have to wait, and for us that are addicted we have that instant gratification going against us. Be strong.

there is a journal in y page that explains why u feel this way...it does take months with lots of exercise to break thru the endorphin barrier we have created ...the aminos have to be used at the high doses recommended or they will not work..read over it and be sure u r using thenas recommended/..and exercising at least 30 minutes a day
