Good morning....it's Day 6 :)

Hello all :) well it's day 6 and I'm feeling okay.  Still up and down with the emotions and crying bouts but I just keep trying to tell myself that it's okay to let some of the emotions I've been stuffing come out.

Feeling a bit anxious about my doctor's appt tomorrow.  I don't know if he got the message from his receptionist that I was going off the oxy last week and I think he's all prepared with some speech about how he can't help me anymore because he got a printout from the pharmacy that showed I had seen another doctor while he was gone on holidays.  I know he'll most likely be happy that I jumped off on my own and that I don't want another script but I keep trying the push down the anxiety of the appt.  

My mood with others has def improved, I feel less edgy and more patient now.  I actually slept not too bad but find myself going to bed pretty early now....whereas before I'd be up till midnight at least now i'm in bed by ten.  Gonna continue with the vitamins and supplements I bought but really really can't wait for my therapist appt on monday.  

Another bonus is I'm pretty sure I've lost like 10 pounds which is always good :) I think I gained quite a bit on those stupid pills...

Hope you all have a good day!
Peace!

Your right about the wieght loss thing (one good wd side affect).  I to lost 10lbs.  I don't want to burst your bobble, but if you were anything like me it was mostly due to no food and lots of trips to the bathroom.  I gained 5lbs back already.  But I'll take it.  Better then where I was at.  Day 31...................Oh Yea Baby!!!!!!!!!!!  Bring it on!!!!!!!!!

6 days is wonderful progress!  The worst should be over if not it will be very soon.  The light should be bright for you now and getting brighter by the hour!  Great job and keep posting.  What ever you do don't let your guard down cause the little shoulder devil will be tough at times!

Dont go to the doctors, they dont like it when people go cold turkey, they'll just try and give you more tabs. Do what Sarah says and cancel.

Well done you for making it this far. Well done keep posting.

If you dont really need to see the doctor tomorrow i would just cancel.  If you do have to go then let him know what you are doing and tell him NO MEDS.

Congrats on day 6!!!!  Keep it going        sara

Congrats on day 6!  That is a huge leap.  I'm on day 5 and already feeling the difference.  Please don't forget to tell the therapist EVERYTHING!  You will be fine and you will make it.

How's the weather there?  Here in Vegas it's not too bad.  We don't get snow too often!  : )
