I've been doing great on the tapering  , no pain advil can't handle and this coming from someone who has cronic pain.  But I'm dragging, excederin didn't help.  Why am I just like a blob, not tirerd just don't want to move?  I haven't been eating much, not hungry .  I don't drink coffe, soda or those energy drinks.  What will it feel like when I am totally off the vics?  Will the energy and motivation come back and when.  My kids can't wait for mom forever. I'm not even taking the valum or xanax I have because one I don't have anxiety and two it would do me in.  Anything healthy out there ( I have to be careful due to anti-dpressants, never made me tired before). I am so tempted to just stop the 2 pills and have it overwith but hubby's work won't let him get away even though he works from home.  I'll stop rambling now.  Any ideas would be appreciated.  Thanks and kudos to all who do it ct and make it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That tiredness was the WORST part of my withdrawl. I would fall asleep midconversation with my wife, doing anything. But about 3 days after totally stopping I felt tired, but a tick less then before, next day better....within 5 days the tiredness faded and the real miracle here is that once you are out of that cloud and look back, it's amazing how clear t looks. But careful....that sudden rush of boldness and confidence can be what gets you back into it because it's easy to FORGET what it was like. been there, now RE-DOING it.
Good luck

Does hubbie know you are tapering? If he does let him look on here and see what u r going through. Them maybe he will put some time aside. I think your life is more inportian then any job. If he dont know, then I would say go CT. It will be like a bad case of the flu for4 to 5 days. If you are sick he will have to pick up the slack. Your energy is not going to come back even if you taper you are just making it wd's last longer. CT 4 to 5 days you will feel better. I am on day 15 off of vics and I feel good. Your kids need a mom, you can do it. keep posting and good luck!
