[bugsy89735]

Hello again, I am so sick of this ****,,,Feel like crap, still sneezing,sweating at night bad.fatigue ha ha ,,need a crane to lift my ***,,I was taking oxy 150-180 a day and it has a short half life,,why the length,, Well as a nurse, I can only tell you that this **** hides out and slowly releases itself, especially if you have been abusing for years,,My GI tract is so messed up, that little brain down there definitely has to re-coup, and the one on my shoulders,well that one is foggy and constant Ha's,,and is in a state of shock,, I just want to let everyone know to be careful with the Thomas recipe,,especially if you have HTN or cardiac issues,,yesterday I thought I was going to have a stroke,,2000mg's of tyrosine and 2 B-complex stress vit's way too much for me!!! My head was like a tomato,,,BP through the roof,,OK,,I have a feeling this will take some time and if you consider that I have been a user/abuser for years its not going away after 10 days,,maybe 10 months,,I feel very weak today (want a pill) and I have legitimate issues,,having my 4th back surgery in three weeks and then in 2 months I am having a total knee replacement,,I look pretty young but I feel like I went through a wood chipper,,yes there is lots of pain here to share,physically as well as mental..Well just needed to vent and get this off my chest,,Sick and Tired,,Peace Bugz

Hi bugsy ...hey happy birthday to you...your sober now that in it self is worth celebrating
try not to get discouraged its going to take some time to feel better.. I know it did for me
congrads on 10days your off to a good start each week you get between you and you DOC you will start to feel a little better it slow going I know...but slowly we do come back around feed your body what it needs to heal....I drink whey protein shakes 2 a day its full of vitamins and amino acids as well as the protein all of witch the body needs to heal
the B- complex will help a bit with the energy thing but there is no quick cure they all work over time...just hang in there...it would be good to get involved with some sort of aftercare now weather it be N/A or A/A or a substance abuse conslor but put something in place to help you thew the mental grind ...most find that harder then the detox itself...aftercare shouldn't be optional it is a necessity for long term sobriety
good luck to you and God bless....Gnarly

yeah, you're right we should be careful with ltyrosine and some stuff. I took 1000mg in the mornings the first month and afterwards  for the first three months 500mgs was ok for me plus a calcium magnesium zinc pill and one B's.. .. i ate a lot of fruit and tried to follow a healthy diet during these first months.

there is not a magical recipe for wd's but i found the aminos ( ltyrosine and 5htp and some advices from thomas recipe, were a good help for me during that time. But not in the quite high doses as it was said there.

hey, all in all, i see  GSH in your words and this is great :) even if you are feeling like **** right now. Keep it cause you gonna need it in the months to come, hahaha...;)


happy birthday, bugsy !! good luck with your surgery and sure, CONgrats for your 10 th day :)

Give it some more time, I would think by the end of 14 days, you should be feeling better. Hang in there, we're all here for you!
