Oxy Day 14--Major Fatigue I thought this would be gone by now, how much longer, tempted to nibble and have some fun today, talk some sense into me please!

[sportnut]

Day 14 yesterday and today major fatigue set in out of no where.
Was unsocial at home last night, went home took a half hour nap after work.
Today the same, Thursday was awesome now two days in a row of this crappy feeling.
Doing the Thomas thing which has been working great for energy.
Yesterday two 6 hour powers, two Pepsi Max and nothing phased it.
This am so far the same thing very low, two Pepsi Max, one 5 hour energy, a cup of coffee and I am sitting here yawning like it was day two all over again.

THIS makes the urge come on strong.
I have been upbeat and positive for two weeks now and here I sit wanting so bad to get out of these duldrums I'm sure my family will be sick of this before the day is out.

A nibble is soooo tempting.

Someone talk some sense into me please, kick me in the head or something.

God it seems like forever, how much longer will these ups and down last?

Everytime you think about nibbling on the pills, just remember that you've got a little girl out there on this forum looking up to you and telling you that she owes you her life. I know I keep saying this and it sounds corny, but you are the reason I am [now] 15 days sober, going outside, looking at the sun... And smiling for a few.

I'm here for you.

When I was at day 14 I was feeling the SAME way as you. I had been having some great days and then bam, I hit a wall. What I found is that those first few weeks are just so rocky. Up and down, up and down. However, when I did have good days, it was amazing and I felt like it was a little preview of what was to come. Stick it out and soon all your days will be good days. I wish I had listened to this...I ended up letting it get to me and relapsed on day 18. I thought I would be fine, that I could just do a little and try it once again and moderate it. Wrong, I'm still trying to get back on the wagon now and it's 6 days later. Please don't give in!!!  Good luck, stay strong and remember all the reasons you stopped, you've come too far to turn around now!!

Cravings are thought to be bio - electric nueral stimulation...... only last 15-20 minutes and you can get through that standing on your head!  Dont remember your specific dose or length of use......but I am willing to bet that you have a lot more time doing oxies than not doing them.  Its just really nice that we dont have to take the same length of time to get straight as it took to get messed up!!  You will have peaks and valleys....you probably should be addressing depression with an AD or the amino protocol......that tyrosine always helped get me out of the house....and caffeine....

sputnut,

Nibbles turn into chomps real quick.....sometimes instantly, esp on a day like 14.  Don't do it, man.......this is just the "real you"  you say the past two weeks have been good, and today your having a fatigue day.  That's just normal.  We forget because on the pills we never have a real "normal" day.......its all a facade.

Please don't let the the mind-funk get you.  I do believe you are stronger than a stupid little pill whispering in your head..........

I putting my money on you today........

luv,
Nauty............

Hang in there bro!

  I've been following your posts...

  I'm on day #13 of a bad Oxy snorting habit.

Still fatigued but determined to beat this ****!

  Even if you have trouble doing it for yourself.... Do it for me!... Remember the worst cravings usually pass in about an hour or so...

My experience on the whole energy thing was between 3-4 weeks for me...but i worked out a lot too, played soft ball a lot. It was wierd too cause i woke up on a Sat. morning and just felt great...back to normal, like it all came together at once after feeling like shiz for so long. Hope that happens fast for you...stay strong

I am new to this forum..but I am on day 1 of  what feels like my 20th time withdrawling! So maybe Im not one to give advice because everything in my heart and soul wants this to be the LAST time..I dont know if it will be.
My relapses always occur due to the fatigue and depression I just cant stand it! But Ive realized Ive never given my body and mind the chance to heal. Yes its so much easy to pop a pill and "get back to life" as we addicts know it. But why not try the other path and see where it takes you? Give it time...this too shall pass!
As I said Im only on day 1..I'd like to believe I will follow my advice..Im taking it one day at a time.
You've made it this far...keep driving on!

You're right, man it is just getting old today that's all.
I thought I'd be on the other side of this by now, 2 weeks, so much to get done this weekend too no time to nap and stuff.
Work till noon then out, hit the gym, not sticking around the house because I'm sick of this mood myself and don't want to drage everyone else down, it is a beautiful day here.

Hopefully it gets better soon.

If you take a nibble today, you'll probably take one tomorrow too. It's a slippery slope.  Why do you still have anything? It's just a tease. Flush them.

Do not give in to your craving!!!! The lack of energy will hang around a while. Get up and get movin...It will help. I know...easier said than done. Hang in there!!!! You can do it! Go for a quick power walk.
