48 hours clean from percs,

[mindtwister1976]

been attemtping to quit pain killers, for a week.. finally took the plundge to go cold turkey, Sunday at 7 pm was my last pill, the last couple of days, have been terribile, No sleep, Restless legs, back pain, the constant thought about pills, It's hard to stay focused..and just doing little things seem impossibile. But i have been trying to push myself, and stick with it, I am hoping i sleep better tonight, Lastnight i just kicked and kicked, then i woke up, evidently i kicked myself to sleep somehow?? im hoping tonight will be easier, and even feel much better tmr.

Keep it up and hang in there. Im going through the same thing. Though my biggest problem right now is a terrible throbbing headache that Ive had since last night. We are half way there! Dont give in.  I started taking a multi vitamin, and some extra vitamin C. Every one here is very supportive and helpful. Take their good advice :) you can do this!

Congrats on doing this, your through 2 days now:) It's so tough at first, but worth it to be free again. Have you tried melatonin to help with sleep, it works for some, but sleep is tough to come by at first regardless. There is also the thomas recipe in the top right of this page under "health pages" ,  it can help ease w/d's a bit too.  Normally the worst is over in 4-5 days, but everyone is different. You can get through this and hope your feeling better soon. Keep posting and good luck!

May I ask why you started with the percs and how many did you come off of?

Hang in there, just a few more days and then it will all be down hill from there. Sorry in advance for my spelling.  Try some valerian root for sleep. Everybody on this site says it works great. Take hot baths as many as you can, they really helped me.  You can do it. We are all here for you to get you thru. Keep posting we are here for you. Just a few more days
