Day 12. Man o man

[cleangimnow]

I'm starting to have the mental issues. The physical wds are really starting to leave completely other the allusive sleep. Man I just want to feel unbummed and unmotivated. I took a vacation day today and feel like doing not crap. Will I ever feel motivated again?

Hey there, i am 34 days clean, and i promise you this, it does get better.  You will get your energy back!  Sleep, well, that's still a problem for me, but i am really starting to feel back to my old self.  I get what your saying about your family liking this side of you, i am getting that too, mean while i thought i was the happiest person alive living on cloud 9 with all the opiates i was on. Be aware of the mental part, that hit me hard around the 3 week mark and i still get the mental part of it, just not as often.  I can tell you this though, i cant see a pill or i would probably take it, so i am no where near being free of these demons.  Best of luck to you, and it will only get better from here on out, just keep your guard up:))

Well...I guess natural. I am taking wellbutrin.   Im really not sure if I should continue this new med. Thoughts?

I DEFINITELY know what you mean about being pissed off but really don't say anything. Sadly, my family likes this more subdued person still tring to close two weeks opiate free. Goes to show you how much that crap effects your behavior. I've felt some natural highs recently so it helps me keep my eye on the prize when I think about getting my life back and not being such a jerk. I ha e tried the l- tyrosine. Im on 75 mg of wellbutrin(lostest dose) to help with this initial depression.

I'm on day 7 and feel like It's a huuuuge effort to listen to my kids or to drive them to school. Forget about making ice cream or playing with them...it feels impossible..everything annoys me although I feel like I'm not snapping as much. I feel it but I don't do it if that makes sense. The lack of energy and increased feelings of sadness *****. I have been swimming and walking but it's not helping that much. Anyone have luck with the suggested dose of L-tyrosine from the Thomas Recipe? I think he said 2000mgs with one B6 on an empty stomach. coffee doesn't do a thing. I think it just takes time. Positive thoughts out to all of you! Keep pushing forward!

I hear ya! I'm stil headed that direction and managed to drag my *** to run, walk, and bike this week. I'm at the point that I don't really wanna move....geez. My daughter will be home at 4.  Lots of energy. I'm finding that to be challenging.

Im in the same boat...detoxed off methadone and im on day 16 drug free....have a little one and havnt felt like even playing with her...they say the lack of energy last a while, ive been taking vitamins, trying to eat healthy(last few days ive splurged a bit) everyone keeps telling me to exercise but trying to get up the energy to do that has been tough...but at least we are headed in the right direction and it has to get better at some point!!!! Hang in there youre not alone!!!!
