Coming up on DAY 3 !!!

[FibroMissa]

Hello :)  well day 3 is almost here...it's 5am sunday and I couldn't sleep so got up to have a shower and a cup of herbal sleepy tea (hopefully).  Gonna try to sleep again shortly.  I'm doing it.....it's not a heck of a lot of fun but time is passing (though slowly).  Was able to get a little food in. My mom made a protein shake that I just kept taking shots of now and then.  Having to use the xanax a bit but not a heavy amount.  LOTs of baths and showers...I'll be the cleanest person for miles lol.  Sneezing and yawning.  Soooooooooooo glad I'm doing this.  I had a few moments last nite where I felt like my old self...they didn't last long but was there.

This forum is a lifesaver and just knowing you are thinking of me or praying for me means so much.

nite! (hopefully)

Hey Kris you out there what you up to I can't find you is it my phone or are you just not here. I hope your ok I'm worried about you get in touch Joey.

Hi I don't know about different types of vit c, I got mine from a needle exchange over a couple of weeks and got friends to go in and get some for me because you will need a lot, I couldn't believe the effect it was having. I have done cold turkey once off heroin and it's terrible but this stuff takes it all away. If you go to a needle exchange and see if they have vit c saches for injecting just get loads weigh it out then start when you have enough. I would make sure you have to much just incase because it wears off so you need to spread the dose over the day once you build up to around 200 grams a day. People will be amazed once they have done this. I believe you can find the doctor that first did the studys on you tube just look under heroin addiction and good luck all the best joey.

Lol, just thought I'd share this: I just glanced over at my water cooler. It has a little spot beside it for my vitamins and it now looks like a shelf at a health food store lol.

I have Jamieson multivitamins, the maximum potency kind, Vitamin B6 caps, StressEase (also by Jamieson vitamins) and the l tyrosine and immodium. I'm armed and ready, lol!! Now I'll need to squeeze a bottle of vitamin C on there somehow.

Ahh, I'm so looking forward to this and congrats again Fibromissa!!!

[moonshyne777]

Fibromissa, You are doing amazing and thank you!! Your posts are really giving me a lot of hope and inspiration and I'm so happy to hear your starting to come around. Way to go!!

I think when the doc knows that you've gone ct off of oxys he probably won't freak out too much about you taking one extra xanax a day. Good idea to start tapering down on them soon though.

Joey - I'm going to buy some Vit C tonight. Would it be good to buy EsterC? I have heard thats the best type of Vitamin C to take or would plain old Vitamin C tablets work just as well?

My mother is a huge advocate of vitamins & herbal remedies compared to narcotics & she is 70 yrs old. She has a lot of bone problems & broke her knee about 5 months ago.And still did not use narcotics. When i wanted to quit smoking she told me to take a ton of vitamin c & how it will rapidly flush my system of the nicotine. And lots of water. It did work. So it would surely work in the same way for opiate w/d. She has always been big on vitamin c for flushing our system of poisons. Great info!

Hi all I've been Reading your comments with a lot of interest. First when I see people trying to do cold turkey it gives me hope and I know exactly what you are going through, I was a 20 year heroin addict with a year break that was my first cold turky after about 15years of using it took about 3 weeks before I could function again. So many of u are so close to somthing you would not believe, you are right to do excersise afterwards it helps your body heal quicker, I could go into detail but I'm writing this for a more important reason. I wonder if any of you know that their is a cure for most cold turkey symptoms  and it works on most people and the ones it doesn't work on it helps tremendously. It is vitamin c guys get yourselfs water soluble vit c lots of it. You need to start on about ten grams over the first day then build up to 200 grams a day roughly I'm serious it fills up receptors in the brain and it doesn't poisn the body in fact the body gets rid of what it doesn't use easily any good doctor will tell u this it works do it. Ok so u are wondering if this is so good and so easy why havnt we heard about this? Well your govnmt has done a study and it was so succsesfull they realised that any junky could do it without medical aid, the repurcussions of this would mean closure of 80% of rehab centres and workers so it was scrapped so I will be shocked if this is even posted please let me know when u succeed with this but more importantly tell other users bye for now joey.

Hi again guys :) tired of me yet? hope not lol
I actually just went out for a bit...it was only 20 minutes or so but it helped.  I drove to the bank and cleaned all the snow off the car and all in felt okay...alternating hot and cold but okay.  the anxiousness comes and goes.... I start to worry about something like seeing my doctor on thursday telling him i'm off oxy for 6 days but then him cutting me off the xanax suddenly because I had gone over previously.  I want to taper off that one.  I'm taking .25 3x per day right now to get me thru, hoping he doesn't get mad that it's higher than the 2x per day.  I'm not going crazy on it I don't think .75 a day is heavy but I do want to be off it too.  I'll start to worry about crazy stuff then either talk it out with my mom, post on here or deep breathe.  Its coming along I know it is.  

Hope you are all having a good clean day :)

Congrats on day 3!! Its a great feeling when the real you starts to poke out thru the clouds! I'm on Day 19 and the past couple nights I slept all the way thru with the help of some sleepytime tea and some Melatonin. You should be proud of yourself!! Keep up the positive thoughts... I really believe thinking staying positive helps the wd process right along. You know you can do this and having a great support system is a blessing. Time will start going by faster and faster and before u know it you'll be at your one week mark and feel fantastic! Again congrats, keep adding those days up girlie!! :) xoxoxo

[FibroMissa]

Hey everyone :) well it's almost noon now.  Feeling actually not to bad.  Kept expecting that today would get worse from some of the things I've read...could I possibly already be on the mend...physical anyways? not that things are perfect. I feel a bit shaky but my mind does feel kinda clear.  

I appreciate all of your thoughts and prayers :)

Hey girl,

Wanted to let you know i am thinking about you.Stay strong & thank god for moms. My mother would have done exactly as yours even though she doesn't understand addiction. After all these years with me and bless her heart she still doesn't understand.
Anyways you take care of yourself, stay strong & hydrated.I really don't know of anything except reading the posts on here that will help speed up time. When you are w/ding time just seems to stop, yet you are already on day 3. Awesome! Keep us posted & if you ever need to vent, feel free to pm me anytime.

God Bless

We're here for ya.   You're almost through the really hard stuff.  Hang in there.  Day 5 will be here before you know it.  I just need one favor from you now.  I now your feeling like crap, but if you feel up to it can you please pray for my Minnesota Vikings today? They play the Saints at 5:40 central time.  Go Vikings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S.  One other thing.  When time seemed to go really go slow.  I read (of course for me it was the bible).  It really helped me pass the time and stop the cravings).

[sweatinit]

hope you got some sleep, missy!  Your post is funny to me in the sense that I said the same thing..."I've got to be the cleanest person in NJ"! Hang in there as we are praying for you! xxoo

[jstntime]

Glad to see you hanging in there.  Easy right????   NOT!!!!!!

Keep scratching away those minutes and soon they become days.  You are already starting day 3 and it seems you were just freshly freaking out about having to WD!!!  ha ha

Keep your spirits up, try and laugh.  This doesn't have to be a death sentence if you don't let it become one.  Stay busy, keep moving, read, do a puzzle, play cards with your mom or daughter.  You have a great support system, use it to help occupy your mind.

Goodluck and Godspeed, still pulling for you,

bob

I'm up with you this morning, but unlike you, I'm throwing in the towel on sleeping anymore today.  Day 9 here, and holy hell:  I just got 7 hours of sleep!!!  

Great job on 3!  You are through the majority of the worst of this thing Fibro!!
For me, days 3 and 4 were still pretty tough, but things really started getting better around day 5.  

You taking any vitamins?  I'd definitely recommend at least a multivitamin, if you have any around.  Those chewable ones are real good...I'm 32, but I still love them. :)

Great work Fibro, you are in my thoughts!
