Energy

[bellzie]

I am on day 10 of cold turkey from vicodin.  First 7 days were horrible.  All the typical ailments.  Day 8 -10 much better however, still absolutely no energy.  Which I definitly need!

8 days ago, my Dr. prescribed prozac to assist with menapausal symptons and some depression.  

I feel a little better ~ but still not near 100%.  I need the energy.  My script for vicodin is due in 9 days and I seriously do not want to pick it up.

First time poster.  Please help!

HI im going on 10 days tom and ill tell u what if i had a script coming in it would destroy my recovery big time. The anxiety it would give me,,,, would be like come on 9 more days forget clean time script time in 9 days 9 days 9days  like a broken record CANCEL THAT SCRIPT

Good advice so far and I'm in agreement about canceling the script.  That is a MUST!  It's going to stay on your mind and call out to you if you don't.

I take super B complex and exercise.  That helps me more than anything!   Right now, you don't have to do a LOT of exercise, but just get up and start moving as much as possible, and before you know it you'll be feeling better!! : )  

Congrats on your clean time!!!

HI....i agree with Kim it can take a wile for your energy to return its all dependent on how long and hard your habit was and your age everybody recovers at a different rate
give it a month and see how you are then...good nutrition exercise and attitude have a lot to do with how fast you will recover....I also recommend whey protein shakes there loaded with vitamins ecential amino acids as well as the protein all of witch the brain needs to heal
you can pick it up at walmart for 15bucks for a 2lb can the chocolate flavor is good all you do is mix it with milk I still drink 2 a day and noticed an improvement a few days after I started them....as for exercise I know its hard to even think about now but force yourself to go for a walk around the block you can build up from there but this will also help other then that its a time thing you just got to wait it out but you will get better just give it some time good luck and God bless......Gnarly

Thanks so much for posting.  I've been reading these posts for days now and finally got the nerve to post.  Can I purchase L-Tyrosine at a local pharmacy OTC?

Ummm you should definatly cancel that script now. The energy takes awhile to come back, Im on day 39 and still draggin a little. It gets better, have you tried L-tyrosine? That helps me alot also sam-e 400 is good. Dont step backwards now, youve come too far! Cancel that script! Good luck! Keep posting for support! Did I mention cancel that script? LOL
