What a day....ugh

[Freejen]

4 days and 6 hours in. I thought the worst would be over. I also had to have an emergency tooth extraction yesterday, long story, it broke. I feel awful today's, foggy, tired, chills, nausea, weak, bathroom issues, just general yuckiness. I was doing really well and I thought the worst would be over....haven't taken a pill, told dentist no narcotics. So just Tylenol, Ibuprofen. I guess I am just venting. Everyone is so kind and generous on here, was just surprised I feel this way after this amount of time and feeling relatively ok the first three and a half days, this is my first and last detox!..thanks for listening, as always YOU ALL make the difference to use "newbies". Thank you all you MH angels.
14-20 Norcos a day for 3 years after spinal fusion

Hello and congrats I'm new here also but unfortunately have been through many detoxs and recently went through my last but you should be feeling better in the next couple days your almost done but once you feel better try to never forget the feeling of detox or the pain the drugs caused you because it is very easy to go back god bless and look up local na  meetings the people there will accept you with open arms

Wow, that is an awesome success story.  I can't imagine how many people would cave after a tooth extraction and say YES PLEASE!  You are one strong lady!  Pat yourself on the back and keep up the hard work!!!!

I can't begin to tell you how proud you should feel about yourself right now...

Hi Free..It does take time and with time comes Patience. You should pat your self on the back for turning down those meds..It just take that one to start the Pleasure part of the brain all up again. I call it the tape in the brain and it likes that "Feel Good Feeling"..To bad we just can not rip that sucker out of there and replace it with a new tape..Oh! You will get better..Just keep pushing and do not that Life bring you so down that you "THINK" You need a pill..Great Job!!!
Bless

Hey Jen
Sorry your having a bad day.  Ugh, I guess nobody gets out of this mess the easy way.  
Great job on getting that tooth looked after and saying no to narcotics.
Hopefully tomorrow is better for you.  
Hugs

This has got to go down as one of the greatest successes of all time. Day 4, tooth extraction, no narcotics please. Are you kidding me?! You are my hero!!!

Thanks ariley13, you are always there for me. And everyone else. As I said before, you are an Angel.

You are doing great! It may be taking you a little longer to get all of the toxins out and be totally detoxed since you were on a pretty hefty dose. Your symptoms should start to ease up very soon. You are one tough cookie to be going through withdrawals and a tooth extraction! Hang in there my friend and keep up the good fight!
