Hi group,
Having a couple of rough days here, and really frustrated !
10 weeks ago having gone thru the horrendous detox cold turkey from 150mg fentynal patches, which i was on for 5 years, was beginning to feel better the last 3 weeks until I went off Vicodine 6 days ago. On very low doses 5/325's twice a day.
Even tho I knew what exspect, flu symptoms, stomach issues, being cold, and the wonderful sleepless night sweats.
Today a Beatuful 84 degree day, my symptoms and pains seem to be worse rather than better.
I can't breathe outside and freezing inside.
Trying not to sleep during the day, because the insomnia is back and waking up at 4 and 5am just begging for the sun to come up.
Altho I'm doing 1 to 2 meetings a day. Not feeling it today.
I don't want to use, but getting sick of feeling like this. I've been down the detox road several times, nothing like this tho.
I thought this part would be easy compared to the fentynal withdrawl, and would have only lasted 5 to 7 days due to such low doses, my body is screaming for relief.
The pain is incredible today, which dropped off conciderably before I stopped the Vicodine.
Just really frustrated today.
Going to go for a ride and hit a meeting an hour away, a good radio station, out in the warmth should get me thru the afternoon.
Just wanted to share for others struggling. Move a muscle, change a thought.
Today is just a bad day, tomorrow well it's not here yet.
Lets all just hang in there xoxoxo
