27th hour

[1yraddict]

ya its slowly getting worse, now getting some sweats.  27 hours..and counting.

I am forcing to eat at this point and sunshine feels SO good.  Just laying outside with my music soaking up sun for an hour.  You know Classical music isnt something i  normally listen to, but it works GREAT to relax you.  I highly recommend it.  I fell asleep for 45 minutes a bit back lisntening.

Thanks so  much for you support.  I am sure i will need it every day for the next 2 to 3 days.  

I am actually glad I am going through this.  Its like a battle scar, a constant reminder that will probably make me ill just to look at another yellow pill.  Even now i have NO craving.  makes me sick to think about ever stuffing another down my throat ever again.  

Time for another water, cheers!

Don't look to far ahead, one minute one hour at a time, seems like you got this licked (as we southerners say), you have a great attitude, it will come in handy. And I feel ya when you say the thought of a pill makes you sick, last night I hadn't slept in a long time, even before I quit the madness, I was exhausted,, so friends had suggested I use melatonnin, I didn't want to take the capsule so I left it melt on my tongue, pretty nasty but I slept! Think about trying it, it worked well for me.. Congratulations on your decision and attitude, you'll be an asset around here.. GOD Bless, you!

amen im with you on this one.... ill be 48 hours in a few hours! im sore i wont lie and i have ZERO energy... ive done this to myself many times so i know what to expect... i slept last night with what the dr gave me to help... trazodone.. its an anti depressant that i use at night for sleep... seems to knock me out pretty good...i made it through work today though. and man was it hotttttt. talk about sweating.. jesus help me lol..... anyway keep it up and on the third day you still feel a little awfull i wont lie... you have tapered! your stronger then me... i quit cold turkey from 200mg of oxy for a too long of time, figure its time to start working toward something and i have set myself a plan to quit and im going to see a counsellor.... so guess just be happy and use me as a vice to keep going.... if i can do it you sure can! times suck i wont lie but just take it slow, every minute sometimes is a pain in the ***, but if you just keep going it can be done! im with you all the way! hope you start to feel better soon......

it is pretty bad now at hour 29, some hand shakes, pretty good amount of brain fog...head feels like a paper weight.  minor sweating.  I meant to say was taking 2-3 pills (20-30 mg per day) for 10 months to a year, never more than 3 and then weened down the last week to .75 (7.5 mg).  Anyway,
hour 24 came fast, the last 5 hours seemed 2x as long as the first 24.  Ugh anyway, just keeping in touch with yall.   Not looking forward to trying to sleep tonight.

You should not have much withdrawal at all. That is a very low dose and at this point you can just jump and get this over with. You may feel a little sick for a few days but nothing major at all and you should be functioning through this. Good job getting down!

sorry i was told i was jumping around too much, ill stay in one post from now one.  I guess the jitters are making my jumpy :)

My question was since i weened down to .75-1 pil a day the last week (7.5-10mg) and I was taking for 10months to  a year, will that effect the severity of my withdrawls, or is the amount you were on not important when it comes to the W/Ds?

oh ya get the AMP Amplified wheybolic extreme 60, it really works and the immodium AD helps coat your opiate recpetors.  Those 2 are helping as well.

just do it!  i WAS SCARED as sh** to do it but then i made it a game.  I just done telling someone that I threw cups in my pool and got my fishing rod out and was pretend fishing.  Do whatever you can to keep your mind off it, its helping.  I am only 27 hours clean and i know it will get a little worse before it gets better but all I can do is laugh at what an idiot i was for ever taking these stupid pills.  Its basically like a really bad hangover that has been coming for 10 years for you and a year for me.  As bad as it is, you wont die.  keep posting every 5 minutes if you ahve to, people will respond, they are great here!

If you don't mind I would love to borrow some of your strength and courage as I lack it right now. I have been addicted to opiates for about ten years now and I am currently weaning down off of tramadol and It takes every fiber of my being to not abuse it. I keep telling myself that the more I resist then stronger I will be then I can jump off and go through the w/d and be done. So I am borrowing your strength and courage because boy do I need it.
