I'm almost stepping into day 4 country.  I am really proud of myself because I did this alone for the first time, there was nobody with me except this forum.  I wanted to thank all of you for your words of encouragement and advice.  I really hope the ones that were struggling with me are staying strong and doing well and to the others with serious clean time I wish you all the best and thank you all sincerely.  As for how I'm feeling, its been pretty sluggish, sore, no energy but I did finally crave food for the first time today.  One question though, about the diareaha, it only hit me once so far when it has been a big problem for me before, any thoughts?  Anyways thanks to all and good luck to you.  Keep posting because I still will be.

I am on day 4 of quitting CT and I felt everything you felt and more, from the advice I've been getting is the worst is over for you.  Everything you're still feeling is normal and part of the process.  Lack of sleep, restlessness, appetite etc. will all return in time.  What you can do is post your own thread with the same questions and you will get a ton of advice and support from people who know more than I do.  Copy and paste the same thing you asked but click on the Green "Post A Question" Icon near the top and more experienced members will be glad to help.  good luck and feel free to ask for more info.

Hi all. Glad I found this forum. I have been taking two to three 7.5-750 for almost two years. I had no idea that I was becoming physically addicted to this stuff. The doctor provided no information, just kept refilling the script.

Then, last Saturday I ran out of the drug. I thought, no big deal, I'll get it filled Monday. Didn't fill it. By Tuesday, I started feeling nervous, anxious and wanted to run away from myself. I had wave after wave of panic attacks. Then that night I could only sleep for about an hour at a time. Then it felt like some one had slapped me awake. Back to the panic attacks and wave after of wave of being anxious. The next day more of the same. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. I thought I was going crazy or something. Then it hit me. The only thing in my life that had changed was that I was not on my drug. I started reading and found so many people suffering with this. I phoned my doctor and did an office visit. He scheduled some blood work and asked me if I wanted off the stuff? He was willing to continue the drug if I wanted to. I said I wanted off. He said I was already past the worst.

To day is day 4 and I have had two nights of unrestful sleep amounting to about 5 hours each night. I am still having panic attacks and am somewhat anxious. The attacks don't last as long as they did, but they still happen. I keep telling myself that I am just suffering withdrawal and not going crazy and this will all be over soon. I have to force myself to eat and drink. I just don't want any food or water.

This is going to be over soon and I am going to feel better. Right?

Thanks for your words, my story will be told as I get to feel better, I feel I need to get off my chest just to take a load off.  Your so right about finding these things, they are everywhere, even if the guys I know are not around I can drive somewhwere else and get em it just costs more.  Thats messed up my friend.  This is why I've been an addict for 8 years now, its too easy to get. Anyway good luck again and Congrats on 11 days.  See you around.

Keep us posted. Most of us care.. I don't know what ballgames deal is. Whatever...I am in the same boat, I don't have any pills at home but if I wanted some I could have them tomorrow. It's ***** enough that I can just go see a dr feelgood and get z script but also make a couple calls and hook up. It shouldn't be this easy to get prescription drugs. That's one of the main reasons so many get hooked on these f'in things. They are everywhere. You can get em just as easy as a bag of weed. It's crazy..ya(all of us) just need to be strong and we can kick it. I just keep thinking positive thoughts.. As soon as I think about negative things I just try to think about things that mean alot to me..family, music, friends,etc..I don't know your whole situation but me personally just tries to remember that I went over 95% of my life without these things, I can go without them for the rest of my life. I might sound kinda cheesy but I don't care. I'm starting to feel pretty good about myself on night 11 without norcos. I know it's early but I'm doing it. Get angry at the meds, it helps me. Anyway , I'm rambling on. Love these forums, helped me alot so far. I'll keep checking them for a long time to come. Thanks all..

I gotta love the sarcasm Ballgame, just what I need right now (unless I'm reading it wrong) but In CANADA, our kids are playing a best 2 out of 3 in the SEMI-FINALS and FINALS, Not a BEST of SEVEN as you read.  Read it again if you wish but slower. This is not U.S. minor league baseball rules, which may be different.  

As to your question Baker, I dont have any pills lying around but I do have easy access to them from a couple of people, not good I know. Thanks for the advice and congratulations on 11 days.  Will let those who care what i decide to do.

7 year olds play a best of 7 series? Geez
