Day 1 - Again

[T2112]

So after 53 hours off Fioricet thing got really strange. Couldn't really connect the thoughts while speaking. I was told about seizures from dropping too fast - not sure what was happening but wanted to be safe. So I took 2 Fioricet Tuesday (3/05) afternoon. Then yesterday I woke up with a bad migraine so I took another 2. Today I am just kinda beat. I tired, muscles ache, foggy but at least I don't have a headache. So I shall call today Day-1 and start again. I only have a few Fioricet left but actually don't have any interest in taking them (at least not at the moment).

On a happy note - My daughter got an email from the varsity softball coach saying she is interested in meeting my daughter. Our area has the largest high school in our state and there is a chance my kid may be pitching for the varsity team as a freshman. She's been pitching since she was 8 y/o and this year as a 14 y/o was drafted to pitch on a 16 y/o & 17 y/o ASA travel team. She's put in so much work - she truly deserves it. I am very proud of her.

Just for clarification.....the posters above you, EvolverU, are talking about the prescription drug, gabapentin......where you are talking about the nutritional amino acid supplement GABA.

Thanks.. I kinda got lucky in a way. When I decided to quit I was taking Gaba, Magnesium and drinking 80oz of Vitamin Waters per day which contain vitamins b5, b6, b12 & c. I am still very foggy and a somewhat unmotivated but I've been told it will pass at some point.

      Hey! Congratulations & huge kudos to you!
                      Barbs. are rough..Sounds like you're determined and I'm so glad you have support. A poster above mentioned GABA to minimize risk and help with some of the symptoms. I take an injectible (IM) form of it from a site called "Trim Nutrition" & it's really helped (I also take their B-complex  "Trim Complete" injectible.) You can chat w/ a nurse online. The GABA formulation is called "Trim Calm" and is a mix of GABA, Magnesium (which will help calm you & help with sleep and L-Theanine.) Glad you have your music. It's so important. It'll come back. It's hard to be patient with yourself but do -- because you deserve it!

Lol..I have done so many goofy things since taking the gaba too.  The thing that happens most often is I forget names or words as I am speaking. Then I have to pause for a moment til it comes to me.   Good job on throwing out the rest, you dont need them and they whisper to you.   The fog should start lifting soon.

Today is Day 5.  The weekend was tolerable. I am hoping by this time next week the fog will be less. Still not attacking the guitar like I should be but I am hopeful. Thanks all.

Hey - Yesterday I put shampoo on my head before I had actually got my hair wet and then got out of the shower with dry hair and a glob of shampoo. Kinda weird - but kinda funny at the same time. I agree, it's the Gaba.
