Hello To All.....

Well this is day 9 going into day 10 shortly here, but It seems like the sweats, are co idmeing back for some strange reason.  They were gone.  I thought my body had regulated itself temperature wise at least up unto yesterday.  What is that about?  My leggs are still messing up, my right one in particular.  Im getting sooooooo tired of battling this.  And yes, my crazy mind is really talking to me strong now, it is trying to convince me to go find just one pill, and try it, just to take the edge off.  The thoughts are so strong, its craaaaazy!  Im not going to act on it, but is sure is bothersome.  I be soooooo glad when it stops talking to me so strongly tho. As far as my mood, its not stable yet.   I do have some "Zyprexa" just didnt want to take it, been afraid that it might screw my brain up worst....What ya think??? Please tell me, but I am very very tempted to at least try one, I am desperate to get my mood stabalized, i am just wondering will this med really help, or just screw me up worst.  Scared to take it, but considering trying it outta desperation to feel better mentally, with my mood.  Please give me your advise, or opinion.  Other that....Im just here.  Hangin onto my 9 days of sobriety, praying that My old self finds herself her way back to me.
do have

I can sympathize with the sweats... are you having night sweats? If so, my friend Tom shared a tip with me. Place a damp towel on your stomach at night. It did the trick for me. I had the sweats up to 9 days ago. Ugh... give that a shot.

For my anxiety, im taking 5htp, and it works great for me. You can't take it with an antidepressant, but worth some research. Plus you can get it at Costco! Great job on the clean time!

Hi and thanks for responding.  I did not know zyprexa was similar to Klonopin.  My Doc gave to me to help stabalize my mood, but he didnt know I was in withdrawal.  I am just afraid of taking becuz it is used for schizophrenia, bipolar, and mood disorders.  My doc told me I had signs of bipolar, merely becuz I had come to him in tears a few times.  Then he told me to use the zyprexa to stabalize my mood.  Just wondering if it would work or just knock my brain off somewhere, or just make me feel worst.  I have been thru soooo much trying to stay off the pain pills, been relapsing for 6-7 months, then going through withdrawal for 1-2 wks, then starting back up, etc, etc.  So my mood never does get right.  Im so tired of this whole merry go round.  Im tempted to try it for a few nights.  But I have heard some horror stories about it.  PPl claim it made them feel out of it., kept them very sleepy, non motivated, and made them gain lots of weight.

You are almost past the physical withdrawal just hang in there a couple more days and it will get better. As far as the other med you are asking about I looked it up and it seems to be similar to klonopin and meds like that which I used when I was going thru detox but only used it a couple times when I really felt my mind racing and Anxiety was bad. Do you have a problem with the zyprexa to or do you just take it every once in a while cause if its not something you abuse and you can take it for a couple days and the just quit taking it without any issues then it wouldn't hurt ya you just don't wanna start using a med like that often and then all the sudden be hooked on it to ya know what I mean but like I said if its no prob for u to take it for like 2-3 days and then be completely done with it then it would help ya out with the anxiety and all that just be careful with it and don't take it unless you REALLY need it

Good Luck and Godspeed
