Day 9 without methadone

Jul 06, 2008 06:32AM - 3 comments

Well, I'm awake before 6 am and on a freaking Sunday. Got a splitting headache, took 2 advil. I wound up taking more hydro than intended yesterday. Took 15 mg total hydro yesterday, and 10mg valium. Took 5 mg hydro about 9:30 and took 10mg more at about 12 noon. Took a 10mg valium about 4 pm. Thinking about starting some antidepressants today. Don't know what I'd do without my husband. He cooked yesterday, cleaned the kitchen, and then walked with me, or rather he dragged me by the hand down the trail. lol He's helping me as best he can. Please, please, let the monsters stay away today. I really want to try to take nothing today, but I'm not gonna make myself any promises. Just gonna try to avoid taking anything for as long as possible. I'm sure I'll call on my old friend AJ once or twice. I've got a b-day party to attend...I'd stay home, but it's my party, bleh.

My head is still splitting. I just realized it's been about 20 hours since I took any lorcet. Whoa! Think I'm going to start the Celexa anti depressants today. That nagging backache wants to start creeping in on me. Already took a short walk, going for a hot bath shortly. My husband just made me feel like ****. He walked by, asked if I was still on "that methadone board". He told me I was just punishing myself by keeping it going round and round in my head. As if the thoughts are not already there. Oh, well. I think I'll go hide his prescription of lorcets and see how he feels in a couple days.

Hi Bobo, Just wanted to tell you that soon this will all be behind you & to keep up the good work, I know how tough this is, & I dont think anyone realizes nor understands how intense detoxing from methadone can be unless they have actually done it, I have detoxed from vicodin, oxicotin & percocets & in some ways they were easier to withdrawal from, the problem with detoxong off methadone is the length of time. My husband was very unsupportive during my detox, not that he didnt care, he just didnt get it. I can assure you that you will soon be getting better & better, it,s just a matter of a little more time. Hang in their. Penelope

Thanks Penelope. Appreciate the encouratgement. 10mg of hydro at 10:30 though, and I started my antidepressants this morning too. He's sometime supportive, then sometimes acts like a donkey. I'll make it. I just need to find a way to give up the hydro crutch at some point.
