why the sneezing from norco withdrawal?

I had not been to the dentist for about 10 years and needed ALOT of work!  4 Molar's removed 2 impacted.  I left the dentist office with a load of pain and a prescription for norco.  I could'nt believe the difference that stuff made on me  I was vacuumming the stairs and removing all of the cob webs from the basement at 5:00 in the morning.  Honestly, I felt like superman  I went from 285 down to 215 in 4 months.  Mostly because I could'nt eat solid foods, you'd be surpised at how fast the body dumps fat if you don't give it any.  I could go to the gym and bust my *** on the stair machine sometimes going 40 mintues straight, before norco I had trouble staying upright and never lasted 40 seconds.  I got a six pack and my wife was loving the physical changes, but the mental and emotional NOT SO MUCH.  I had zero sex drive none nada zip.  She confronted me and I denied it.  Even typing this a part of my brain is screaming SHUT UP!  Back in early June we took a trip and I used 70 norc's in a 2 day period.  I was shocked when the bottle was empty and I could'nt remember a gosh darn thing about the trip.  So I decided to go "cold turkey" even with a script waiting for me at walgreens.  I made it 4 days.  While trying to keep busy and my mind off of the craving I went mountain biking and shattered my colar bone.  I had surgery and awoke hooked up to straight morphine.  I was "dancing with pink elephants".  I am not lying when I say 2 days after surgery I went for a 25 mile bike ride.  I had 120 norco's at my disposal and I did'nt have to go to work.  I mean come on can you imagine a better time to be had.  Well I can't get that high I used to at all anymore and I am sick of trying new pharmacy's or going back to the old one's and getting the eye from the tech.  You know the look of WHAT A SMUCK!  SO sorry for the long intro but can anyone tell me why the heck am I snezzing my haed off?

Well I am going on 52 hours since my last "dose" which consisted of 5 10/325.  I had to get rid of them.  I could hear their beckoning from my car's glove box.  I read on these forumn's that if you use super b complex and a host of other supplements that the w/d's are easier.  I could'nt agree more, right now I have my ipod blasting to 3 doors down and is it just me or do you notice that you get more creative when you stop using?

I use some of the Thomas Recpie and the Amino Acid Protocol stuff to the right under "Most Viewed Health Pages" and I thought they helped.

I found that I felt like I was emerging from a fog when I stopped.  I found that music was better (and really helped me through it).  I found I had some pent up emotions that sort-of came flooding out.  But overall, I really enjoyed that part of the w/d's:  at the risk of sounding esoteric or bizarre, I felt like I re-found myself.  That made it worth the diarrhea, leg cramps, insomnia, etc.

Great job so far!  Keep up the good work and good decision making!
