First of all let me congratulate you on day 3.Sleep and energy levels take a while to get better,but better they get each day.You have taken peoples advice and know you have only a couple of days to get over the worst physical withdrawals.I just want you to know I had my kids during my cold turkey but in the grand scheme of things I thought what's an untidy house for a few days when after the worst is over I can start being the dad my kids deserve.True enough that's what happened and will happen to you.You are doing great and please believe your not far away from seeing vast improvements.Keep fighting your so close

I am trying..at least  For the moment. I keep telling myself I will get out of bed. I better cause if I don't take my psyc meds this convo will be going down south! Lol I hear ya bout the kid thing , that's the hardest part, specially wit my 4 year old- shes a beast! Me in bed is like a kid in a candy store for her she done tore the whole house apart, "making" and "building" things, omg! Gotta love her tho , i keep wondering where did i get all that energy from b4 i was poppin percs like skittles? Thanks for the post ima get my black *** up now.

The energy WILL return.  It just takes some time so be easy on yourself. I am on day 18 clean and it's only been a couple of days since most of my energy has returned.  Don't let that discourage you though!   It is just giving you and idea of how one person (myself) has taken to regain normal energy levels.  I finally had my first good nights sleep without climbing out of my skin from the anxiety and taking 6 hot showers throughout the night to ease the suffering.  So......it gets better and better each day.  One day at a time.  Make sure to drink tons of Gatorade and drink your amino acid protein shakes.  They will both help you feel a great deal better.  Keep up the great work!

All I will say to that is I had 5 years of what I thought was happy,positive,energy but I'm afraid I was sad,spaced out and care free.The energy levels were natural before using and will be again and it really is worth fighting anything those pills can throw at you.
