Hello folks.
Well, I'm working on day 2. It is easier than usual - most of my Day 2's, I could barely walk to the bathroom every hour. Today, (while definately in the bathroom more than usual WDs) I've had enough energy to walk 2 miles when I first woke up. I have even been to the mall since then to buy a Bday gift for a family member.
Granted, I am having bad tummy pains, mild head ache, mild neck ache, my legs are starting to get sore, stuffy nose, etc... However, menally I'm feeling MUCH better than Day 1. Normally for me, the mental stuff doesn't start until Day 4, so yesterday I was scared when it started right away. Today was a nice surprise - I'm hoping to have an easier than usual WD.
This may be due to my recent relapse. In 6 weeks following my May WD, I had only had opiate's one day - than I took for the last 2.5 weeks. However, I never went more than 5/day (that's half to quarter my old amount), and I normally didn't take any after my morning dose. I took to help me work through the pain, and dealt with it at night.
So while I'm definately going through WDs, they seem mild to past one's - I wonder if this is due to the short period of time, or the way I took them?? I'm also wondering if I should prepare myself for the mental anguish that typically starts for me on day 4?? I hate the depression/dysphoric part. :(
