Hi there Teri!! You just have to ride it out. You're doing great. You'll be getting to the 'hump' soon enough & it'll start to ease up. I'm SO proud of you. You're DOING it. HOLD FAST!!

You're doing great and in the worse part right now. Remember it's going to get easier even when your minds screaming that it won't!

Walking is great. For severe Restless Leg and Ache, another thing that really works ( for a lot, not all) is compression hose.
You can buy the 15-20mm size at rite aid, for around 15$.
Other strengths such as 20-30 or 30-40 should only be used under a Drs care.
But the 15-20 is a miracle on the legs. I suggest thigh high.
My RLS from benzo wd lasted months so they saved me. Opiate wd I didn't really have RLS, just lead legs!

You're attitude is wonderful and will get you far!
Rooting for you!

[mommymarieme]

Great job Teri!!! You are doing this!!! Everyday is going to get a little better!! How are you feeling after your walk?

[Sonrissa]

Hang In there, Teri. Taking a walk outside is one of the best things you can do. Soak in the fresh air and sunshine (if it's sunny).  You have a great attitude and you will get through this.

You go girl! Going out for a walk on day2? Seriously, you're amazing, day 1 and 2 are a blur to me. Day 3, I made myself get out and went to the beach with my toddler and dog. It's good for you to get out & get some fresh air. You can do it!

[Teri9498]

Hey girl,
wow, be proud you're doing what ever you're able.  Jeez I can't really remember day 2 now.....but I know it was bad.  I think it's kinda like
"labour" after it's all over the memory of it starts to fade. lol  (too soon huh?)

Well God love ya,,,,,as I don't think I was even coherent on day 2 and look at you posting and all.  I didn't start posting on here til day 5........you are KILLIN IT!

Prayers for you love!

FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT! I know they say abstaining from drugs has nothing to do with willpower, but I disagree. Keep fighting the mental and go with the physical w/d's for now. Your self worth, esteem and confidence will soar with each day you stay clean. Little by little, day by day one symptom after another will fade away. As your body and mind clear of these drugs your outlook will improve beyond belief. Atthebeach is so right about the small amounts of food and fluids. Not only will that heal your brain quicker, but it really helps to lower any anxiety. Your doing fantastic!

hey teri I am very proud of you. you got this girl. take that thought captive the pills are done, gone, nada, no more, finished, a distant memory.
the chains and bondage of addiction are broken.

please try to eat small bites of something, push the fluids, try the boost again today.

keep moving forward, you are doing awesome........

Loving your attitude! Day 2 was the worst for me, so just get through this one and you should see a little relief by tomorrow! You're doing great and 2 days is awesome! When you're feeling bad, let it motivate you...since the pills are leaving your body and you're feeling it that is a GOOD thing! You're doing great!
