27 days clean from vicodin why am i so tired in the morning i get my energy as the day goes on why?

[nady1000]

I am 27 days clean from (2) 5mg vicodin for 9 1/2 months.  I used to take my vicodin at 7 a.m. every morning and then another 7 hours later about 2 p.m.  Why am i so tired in the mornings?  I get more energy as the day goes on.  Why is that.  My head still feels a little clouded.  Maybe that has to do with i have a little bit of fluid behind my right ear which i've been dealing with this since aug. 12th.  I had fluid behind both ears now just a little behind the right one.  I want this cloudiness to go away.  I'm still having a little trouble sleeping.

try some brisk walking or exercise upon waking.....this will jump start your metabolism first thing and help w/energy levels.  Lack of energy, fatigue, malaise, are the biggest obstacles and causes for relapse.  Don't give up or give in, the human body is a miracle in itself and WILL repair.  Aminos are good, banannas altho they have potassium (restless leg helper) have tryptophan,,,make you sleepy...eat your bananas at nite.:)  B-complex, b complete, all b's will help w/energy but don't overdoit cuz b/vitamis store in the fat cells and you can take too much.  I don't advise anti depressants often but maybe you need a 6 month round of celexa or something fairly mild to get that serotonin back up to normal levels.

There is one multi called Amino Fuel that has about everything. At GNC I believe.... just check the labels - you want the SaMe or 5HTP, theanine, arginine, DHEA, tyrosine - at the very least ...............and a good multi vitamin along with B-Complex...

I found it.  Thank you.  do i have to take all of these different vitamins or is there one supplement for all of it?

[nady1000]

I've been eating lots of peanut butter and bananas.  Does that help?

[nady1000]

I'm sorry i don't see anything that says health discussions. help

[122 Tactical Fighter Group]

Look at the right hand side of screen - under the health discussions - find the Amino Acid Protocols and try to follow them ..... they are valid and they work well..............

[nady1000]

Thank you for the help.  I'm not using the amino acid protocols.  What is it and i will use it.  Thank you, you guys are great helping me and everyone through this mess.
Sincerely,
Nady/So grateful

I am willing to bet that you arent doing the Amino Acid Protocols? Some will help with the energy, others with the cloudy head. We treat our bodies pretty hard when we use the narc's - we need to replace some things and give our bodies the resources to repair themselves.

Well i think in general, everyone is tired when they wake up. so you must be fueling up in the morning and you are getting the energy from it. Also the nite before, what you eat is important. it determines how you are going to feel in the morning. if you are eating a dinner that is high in fats or seafood that are bottom feeders. like shrimp,lobster, crab - all these will make you feel sluggish in the morning. some good complex carbos will make you feel better.
