woke up ok at best, and 4 tums and 5 bites of breakfast later was vomiting hurtfully. But then I had a good day. Really. Double doses immodium, pelegrino and some mashed potatoes got me to my nap. Maybe today the end to this is in sight, knock on wood. Hope you're all doing ok!
thanks and bless all of you! 3 weeks ago i just went off perc's ativan t3's celexa and clonozapan! It;s beena trip. It's true what you said about just being normal. Years ago, it was never this hard, but as i get older and my mind and body are changing, its harder to come back. It;s done a number on my memorie. The weird thing is im feeling im coming out of a 10 yr. blackout. all my surroundings are 10 yrs. older. 'even me'........this page has saved my life.
you guys are my solace. A better night than day, that's how it usually is. No luck here, except what you said, the need and push to feel normal again. I know it's coming but the morning's can be tough. And afternoons. etc. Every day is better, to anyone reading with fear about it. It is getting better, just SLOWLY. Keep it up.
Thanks and Bless you ( all ) too...
i can say Good Luck but it hasn't a thing to do with luck...we find ourselves in a place we want out of...( addiction)...our strength comes from that desire to be ourselves ..( normal again , eh!! ).....perhaps thats the lucky part ....to realize how terrific feeling normal is....
Thanks your post is very helpful.
We no longer can dabble in anything.
Bless you
pain meds my drug of choice let me go all over the place then to methadone....untill i got so tired of the BS....i walked in the clinic on a monday told my counselor i wanted off....she said "we have a program to detox" and explained it...i said no...."wednesday is my last day"...and it was hell.....i got up to go to mass everymorning ( catholic)...7 AM....went back home...undressed and laid in bed till the next morning....john lennon said it was harder gettin of meth than heroin... it is very do-able...and you will survive...and feel soooo very much better.......it does take time....the physical then the mental....the opiate erge will never leave....don't let yourself be fooled into thinking you can "dabble with a perc..a vic... or a this or that"....it ain't gonna happen....you'll fall again and regret it....stay strong....stay focused....enjoy your life....the hard row to hoe is well worth the effort....i believe in a higher power...it still is hard .... but you have to pull from every supportive strength you can find
TooTough and exhostage
Hang in there. I'm starting day 2 completely off 22 or so vicodin a day.
Pretty Achey, and my stomach is making the strangest noises ever!
Hot then cold, sleepy, then restless.
both you to can do this.
THANKS> I am rooting for you too. Oh you don't know the peace your words offer me. 30 days, good for you. maybe it's not too tough, maybe I am. These moments of strength only last a moment, but it makes it all get to the next day. Thanks again.
Today is my 30th day of methadone w/d, I am so sorry for you and know how hard this is, but you can get the rest of the way if I can tootough, it is getting better the last couple of days but i know what you mean by sometimes it is worse first. the thing that really helped me is immodium so get some and get relief! I could not take vitamins yet either. The thing i learned about 'done w/d is it does not matter what mg you were taking it is still going to be a rough ride for about 30 days and sometimes longer. But i am so glad you quit and i am truly rooting for you.
