Am i out the woods yet?

Today is day 4 of quitting percs and oxy's!  Im pretty proud of that small accomplishment.  I had been taking wellbutrin the first 3days i dont know if it helped or not but i didnt have bad w/d symptoms at all this time besides fatigue and no appetite.  Yesterday i had an adderall which i had never even tried before just to give a boost of energy since ive been detoxing at work.  Todat im starting to get little cravings but nothing to serious.  Is this the worst of it or will it continue to get worst?? My energy level is about a 75% right now and ive been eating a lot of fruit lately.  PleAse respond.

After care can be any number of things, lots of people go to N/A which is free and all over the U.S., if that doesn't work out or for professional reasons you need to keep it more low profile you could go individual counseling, addiction counseling, heck even just coming to this forum helps a lot of people.  Do whatever works within your budget and life but I'd recommend something - our brains start rationalizing all kinds of reasons why 1 pill wouldn't hurt, our brains can "manufacture" all kinds of pains to get what it wants so getting some support and tools to live sober is really critical.

Glad to hear you flushed the adderall, my cousin takes it and is a raving lunatic type A person - no good can usually come from that.

Hang in there and stay positive.  Life IS so much better without pills, it just takes time to realize that and get there.

Hold that clean time precious and keep knocking out those days!

What kind of help after the fact are you talking about? My husband is on day 2 :) and trying really hard. I have been reading where there might be other problems that lead to using how do you find that out?

If you are on day 4 you are probably through the worst, congrats on 4 days.  Addicts have to be careful about substituting one substance for another so just be careful with the adderall - there are some people that have real problems with it on here and the "energy" you get can be so alluring.  It is REAL easy in the beginning to use xanax to help you thorugh withdrawal or adderall and then boom - before you know it you have added to your nightmare and I know you don't want that.

Any plans for any type of after care to help you deal with the mental aspects?  Getting clean is easy for most, staying that way can be a challenge without some support.  Just think about it.

Sounds like you dodged a bullet on withdrawals.
