Day 1 and I already feel sick

[aw2849]

very irritable. And knowing it is going to get worse is like impending doom.. This really *****. It would be so much easier to just take a pill. Too bad lifes not easy huh?

[gnarly_1]

HI good to see your still hanging in there ...well your right about the middle of this thing so you should start turning around in a couple of days here...the sleep thing su##s but even with the supplements its hard to come by....just lay on the couch with your eyes closed and some soft music playing in the background it may be the closest thing to sleep your going to get for the next few nights...I just want to encourage you to keep moving on with this your doing great keep it up and know how you feel is only temporary good luck and God bless.....Gnarly  

[aw2849]

hey campers! I'm still up and pissy so I thought I should stop in and say hi. Head hurts, blah blah whatever. Ok, catch up with you guys tomorrow. Sweet dreams

[aw2849]

I wish I could. I'm sorry, I hope tomorrow is better, but the dreaded night is coming fast and we all know how that goes. I'm going to take 4 of the stinky valerian root and 3 of the melatonin. We'll see how it goes. Thanks for checkin on me you guys. I know I would have caved by now had it not been for all of you. I would have found a way, even with no pills in the house. So thanks again.
Sonotoverit - I hear we are close to the end. Hang in there

[sonotoverit]

PLease tell me its getting easier? I stopped on the 12th and I am dying here.

[quitinoxys]

How are you doing this evening (well for me it's evening on on east coast)? I hope you are feeling a little better. Right now you are going through the worst of it and things will get better in a day or so. Just keep hanging in there keep up the hot baths and try (I knows it's hard) to get some exercise it will help you to sleep at night. Keep going you will make it and we are ALL POUD of you for having the courage to get past this stage. I am praying for you.---quitin

[Jake2980]

Hope everything is going well...aw. Today is day 3 for me. Still feel bad but I'm dealing with it got a few hours sleep last so I'm tired and kind of cranky. Oh well hopefuly not to much longer. Hope u get through this.

[laurel453]

Yes, aw, do hang in...you fighted all the way and of course there is light at the end of this tunnel !! Trust quitin, he's been there just a few days ago and he knows well, we all have been there and it's worth it... you are in the middle of the tunnel right now but with a BIG difference...the second half is much better than the first half because instead of things getting worse, they are getting BETTER!!! believe on yourself, you can do it!!!!!

[quitinoxys]

I know it all seems hopeless right now but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Just hang in there a couple more days and I promise you will start to feel better.  For the aches & pains try taking 800mg Ibuprofen it helped me. The  headache get an icepack and put it behind your neck it will also help with the sweats. I know you are going through a rough time right now but hang in there. I am praying that God will give you strength to get through this as he did me.

[aw2849]

I'm honestly starting to lose hope. I don't know how much longer I can handle this. I need to get some sleep. My head hurts, my whole body aches.  I can't stop sweating. I'm an emotional wreck. I'm angry that I have to deal with this. I'm angry that I let it get this bad.

[quitinoxys]

Just checking in on ya, I have been buried at work so haven't had much time to read any posts on the forum. I saw that you FLUSHED the vic's last night and let me say that I am EXTREMELY PROUD of you for doing that. I know how much courage it takes to do. I know you are going to make it now. So today you are at DAY 4 wow that is an accomplishment in itself so keep on going you are doing great. Oh yeah the Valerian root smells like wet mulch to me. Just hold your nose when you swallow them and yes Valerian & melatonin can be taken together. Sleep WiLL eventually come hang in there.

[gnarly_1]

HI  just wanted to take a minute to encourage you to keep pushing forward you doing great so far...cudos on flushing the pills it shows your serious about this and you have to be...hope you get some sleep and LOL at the dirty sox thing...but your right...I had to take a 1/2 a dozzen of those to get them to work but they did help...your early into withdrawals so it might be a wile b/4 you sleep ...good luck and God bless......Gnarly

[aw2849]

holy crap, those things smell like dirty socks. Someone could have given me some warning. Yuck

[aw2849]

thanks, I hope this helps tonight.

[Addict63]

I take Melatonin and valarien root together every night. I'm on a long taper getting off of Ambien, which is a nightmare. I'm down to a very low dose now. It's so low it doesn't do a thing to help me sleep.  I take one melatonin, one cup of Yogi Bedtime Tea (which has 20mg Valerian in it).  I usually wake up at around 4am. That's when I take a 450mg Valerian Root cap. That helps me sleep until 8 or so. No problems or side effects for me.

[aw2849]

man, I feel like crap. So ready to be done with this.

Can I take the Melatonin and valarien root together? I really need to sleep tonight.

thanks

[vicki595]

You flushed!!!   Good for you!!!   That's really hard to do when you don't feel well...

I'm proud for you!!

xo

[jstntime]

What an amazing step you just took.  We all love a good flushing story.  A true testament to wanting to "take care of business".

Great job,

bob

[aw2849]

I was digging for my smokes and saw the 2 vic's I had. I literally ran to the bathroom and flushed em away. Probably the only time I have run to the bathroom, not to use it. :-) anyways I'm kinda proud of myself so I thought I would share. Feeling as bad as I do today I really couldn't keep them around.

[aw2849]

well I just told the person I was getting them from that I had quit. Unfortunately I work with them so I get a constant reminder. I'm feeling really anxious.

[aw2849]

well I didn't get much sleep, woke up and cried like a baby. But I'm on my way to work. I can't stop shaking. My whole body is aching, and I feel like I'm 2 seconds from crying. But hey other than that doin ok. On with day 3 right? Thanks you guys. Honestly I couldn't have made it this far without everyone.  Manda

[LeaAnn807]

Well, I was in bed early last night, or I would have yelled at you.....LOUDER than vicki!  I'm glad you got rid of them.  Nasty, nasty WDs from those.  ICK!  

How are you feeling today?

[vicki595]

How are you doing on day 3?  Do you think you can work today?

Keep hanging on and stay in touch,okay?

Vicki
