Patch weaning question
Aug 11, 2008 11:30AM in the Addiction: Substance Abuse Community
Hi all - it's been a while since I've posted. Today is 97 days clean for me! Woohoo. However, my question is about Fentanyl and not my use. My girlfriend has been on the patch for a few years after a terrible car accident. She's never abused pills/drugs and she wants off the patch. She went to her Dr. about 10 days ago and told him she's like to step do...

You and I have a lot in common. Use to be outgoing - enjoyed the great things about life. Then turned into a pill popping, homebody, where you have to use pills all the time because the only joy you find is in working high. But... we just end up surfing the net or working on the wrong things, right? Concentration doesn't last more than an hour or two at mo...

Lortab Withdrawl Symptoms
Jun 04, 2008 09:24AM in the Addiction: Substance Abuse Community
I too tapered down from about 20/day. When you are at that level, your tolerance is high. I would drop two or three per day until I reached 6/day. Then I would stop C/T. I would have a few bad days, but nothing like the first time I came off them. Go as low as you can. If you can get down to 1/2 a day... even better. When you take a few and don't feel...
What was the best thing you did to get over withdrawals and stay in recovery?

Excersize. It's the one component that can keep your energy & mood high. Today is Day 30 for me and I've been consistent with 1-2 hours of excersize since Day 2. Yesterday (and even this morning), I've had more energy and been in a positivie attitude for as long as I can remember (certainly before pills). The vitamins help a lot too. Last, I've res...
28 days and it's amazing
Jun 02, 2008 09:46PM in the Addiction: Substance Abuse Community
So it's been 28 days and I've been a little silent on these forums. Mainly because I've been very busy with work/life. My background is 15+ pills/days (hydro - `10/500). However, I did want everyone to know that it gets soooo much better. I'm only 28 days in and I'm feeling great. I'm back on my bike and running for an hour to hour and 1/2 everyday. ...
