Just woke, 1st morning.....

[jddancy]

I hope this is not a false sense but I took my last pilll at 6:30 last night and it is 6:45 am and Islept all night (with thehelp of clonopin). I feel fine!  I am a little worried if maybe I should feel worse.  A little nausea but right now that is it.  Has anyone every had this experience?I was soooo worried for the morning and here it is and I am good.  I will keep posting thru out the day.  Thanks for so much support!

Yes, I am dreading the night a bit.  Been drinking alot of green tea today.  Feel a little anxious but my plan was going to be sleep all day and that is not at all what I do.  So from my 22 hrs of experience and like alot of you have said, what ever you feeel makes you more comfy, DO IT!!  I just took 800 mg of advil to stop the legs and little pains.  I will keep letting you know what is going on.

Ok, it is now only a few hours and I will be 24 hrs clean!!!!!!  YEAH!!!  Considering, I am doing great!!!  This leg thing is driving me crazy so I have outside almost all day walking around.  We live on alot of acrerage and I just got back 4 wheeling with my family.  Never thougth I would be doing that today.  I just need to stay busy with this leg thing.  I keep taking potassium pills.  Can you take too many?  I feel so awake a vivrant!  I know tomorrow could be a whole day but for those out there who are afraid, sometimes the fear is the worse thing, worse than reality!!  I have a brand new bottle of oxy that my hubby has and I have NO DESIRE to get it, yes every once in a while I think If I take one my legs will stop, but NOTworth it!!!!!  We ALL know what the truth with these lying pills are!  They are the DEVIL in disguise!  Thanks for all the encouragement and personl notes, it has made it soooooooo worth it all.  I I am going to eat a banana now.....yum!!  Tomorrow you may hear me crying, who knows.....

Thats great that you tapered. I bet you will get off easy on this one. Remember if you relapse , the withdrawals seem to get worse and worse each time.  So stay clean!  Hang in there.

Ok, I will drink something now.  I just want to sleep a little more, hopefully I can.  I was only taking a piece of an 80 mg pill 2-3 times a day at the last 2 weeks.  It was equivilant to about 10 mg per time so I have tapered very low too.  I know it will get worse but I am just glad I slept.

Yes many get sick to stomach.  Make sure you keep drinkin liquids. I know this is hard when you feel sick, but it is sooooo important.  Try some Ensure or Boost. Hang in there.

Thanks for the posts.  I just took an advil pm to go back to sleep.  I usually always wake up in the night for a pill and didn't and then my 1st was always at 7  am which is the time here ironically.  I will keep posting.  I feel like I am going to throw up, anyone experience that?

Sorry to say, but it hasn't hit you yet.  
So, fasten your seat belt (to the toilet) The bad part is on it's way.
But it's only 5 days, you'll get thru it.
Hang in there.

Hooray!!!  Congrats on your first day!  You may have some wds but it is worth every minute to be free of addiction.

Don't get to over confident the oxy is a 12 hr med.  You will get the magic feeling soon enough.  Just do what you can while you can. Good luck and deep posting letting us know how you are doing.

Not to scare you, but it can take a few days for the WD to set in. Most people peak around day 3-4. You are moving in the right direction!!!
