valium

Question

to withdraw from Vicodin, i filled my perscription for valium, which i never picked up, but im hoping maybe this will help with my restless legs(i call them my dancers legs), and possibly help to solve my compulsion for sexual stimulation. I can't Take this ! I can't sleep....Now when i woke up, my husband who is supposed to bve withdrawing with me today, is gone, which mean he will prob come back w something. i will be so mad if he does, and normally i would just put on my sneakers and go for a jog, but i dont think i can jog today, or make it very far without having to come back for the bathroom. And this vaginal stimulation thing is KILLING me. i'm not having sex with someone who is prolongong my problem (my husband) , and i cant lay around all day , i have a 2 1/2 year ols who need my undivided attention. plus i have to help prepare thanksgiving. I'm screwed

Yes it was for me too there is a reason for it ..Your body is used to having its pleasure receptors stimulated from the drugs .So when its not getting it stimulated by drugs it wakes up and wants it LOL .

lol, i hate to laugh, nut yeah, it is true about the sex drive, and comical.. Nobody ever posts anything pertaining to the issue, and it is clearly one of the first signs for me, and a close second to restless legs syndrome in terms of agony. So I'm assuming that this is Taboo to speak of. But as tactful as i can be, there's no getting around it. I feel much like what i assume a dog in heat would feel like. does the valium help? yep. to make me stop trying to pleasure myself or think about it Compulsively, yes, it does help me. Like i said, their is no euphoria associated with it, it serves it's purpose and then will be gone, but ill' be damned if i'm going to be crossing my legs at the dinner table with family for thanksgiving, waiting for prayer to end so i can scurry off and take care of sexual urges. No WAY! I'm sorry, if taking a Valium sets my date back, well then, Thanksgiving it is. And twolve, sorry you got treated like a pill-seeker, lol, that stinks, i got looked at crazy too, hahaha, happy thanksgiving

wow...i am relieved I am not the only one with hyper sensitive sexual organs. It was the first symptom could not believe it. It's gone and replaced w huge nausea. Hope that gts better. I am on day2 night 3 which is brutal. how are you?

i am at the same amount of clean time as you and what you said definitely rang true with me as well..i have honestly had such a decreased sex drive with the pills, and while my wds are so bad to the point that i couldnt really imagine having sex right now, i have had some strange sexual feelings at odd times, ya know? i just didnt think about it until i read ur post because i never thought that an increased sex drive occurred during wds i just figured it eventually came back, but clearly other people have experienced the same thing..thats interesting. Your lucky you have that valium..i brought it up with my doc today and he definitely acted like i was pill-seeking..i totally agree wiht you about anxiety meds not providing any type of euphoric feeling..i totally understand the dangers of trading one for another but i was honestly just looking for something to ease the anxiety from WDS..not to get ****** up..wtih how ****** i feel right now i know that valium wouldnt fix that, it would just take a little edge off..oh well tho, gotta get it done anyway!

i am almost positive i will not get addicted to Valium. It is my anxiety med, which i have had access to and refills piling up that i have never cared for. For me, there is no euphoria associated with it, and i dont particularly care for drowsy feelings, i just needed something to subside the sensitivity of my sex drive.

Yeah valium is higly addicting and U are coming off of one drug with another is prime time to cross addiction..It is really bad right now but it does get better.. Get yourself clean then deal with your husband.

You are doing great...it does get better from here...I promise.  I thought the first few days with my kids would never end...and I felt horrible by how I handled them...it was hard.  But i got though it and they were fine...and I know you will be too.  keep fighting...it is all worth it.  And remember how you feel and how you don't ever want to go through this again...you deserve better and so does your child.

I can tell you have strength...and you will win this battle...

Hey girl the valuim will help a little. Try to stay focused. Why are you not having sex. I know my sex drive went though the roof and had sex a few times a day with my husband. If he is not wanting sex. We as females know what it takes. So when its rest time for your child go relieve yourself I know its not the same but it dose do the trick.

Hey Pensacola...Hylands Restful legs saved me during the first four days...the worst side affect in my opinion...but the one that subsides the soonest.  I would not take Valium during the day...night, ok.  Your body is working overtime to rid itself of the poisons and adding one more to the mix may delay things.

As a general rule...days 4+ are good physically but the lack of energy and motivation is what drove me crazy...you just have to try to push through...no better motivation than your child and t-giving...trust me, I know.  I have a 2.5 and 1.5 year old and there were times I thought I was going crazy...BUT, i did not.  Caring for a child and doing things (natural) like t-giving will jump start your natural happy chemicals which is a very good thing.

As far as the other side affect...sexual drive...I am using what the Good Lord gave me...I would not shy away from taking "some time for yourself".  This is also a good way to get your Happy Chems kick started.  My wife wants nothing to do with me right now (long story...but I had become a shell of myself), so I do what I have to do..ya know??

You are doing great...GET MAD and TAKE BACK YOUR LIFE, One Day atta time!!

It gets SOOOOOOOOOO much better...and very soon.  Also...even if it made me puke, I went running...even ten minutes is a VERY good thing.

Hope this helps...let me know what else we can do...THESE FOLKS HERE ARE AMAZING.

Ohh, one more thing...listen to music..ipod...whatever you have...incredible what it can do for you...and also started to kickstart my emotions...Good and Bad...but they are reall...and I love it!!
