DAY 4: the worst so far, is this normal

[GarbageAddict360]

Quick recap: did a slow taper from H down to Perc10s and this is my 4th day and let me tell you.  I feel like I have been hit like a mac truck. All my joints are hurting and swollen, I have constant nagging pain up down my spine and a headache to top it all off... and my sleep, if I can call it that is all messed up.  I have been holistically handling restless legs, stomach issues and I take vitamins and such. I just want to know why such a drastic change in how I feel?

Drink ensure. Day 4-5 was my worst. It will get better, I promise. Lay in an epsom salt bath, and if it gets too bad call your local hospital. There is a nurse you can talked to, or send me a message and I will ask my sister who is an ER nurse. Trust me, I felt as if I was dying.

Good Morning!

You are right where you're supposed to be. It takes 4 days typically for all of the symptoms to come full circle and everyone here will tell you that day 4 was their worst. The good news is that you will be coming out the other side by tomorrow. Don't let this take you down. Hold on and know you only have to get through 24 hours. Keep yourself busy and exercise if you can (it really helps). Whatever you do---don't use!!!

Hang in there buddy!!
