In desperate need, day 3 off vicodin

[Shawnee1988]

I am on day 3 with no vicodin. I was taking about 9 per day for the last year. PLEASE someone tells me it gets easier. My brother took his own life a few years ago and one of his problems was pills. I have an AMAZING support system. My mom has taken time off work to be with me. My grandma and dad are also here with me. I need help and support so bad. I feel so blah and literally can't eat due to zero appetite. Thankfully I have zero cravings and the last thing I want is a vicodin. Please someone tell me it gets better and I'll find energy again?!

Please just take some deep breaths and trust the process. For some they bounce back quicker then others..There are many reason why..It depends on age, health, how long of using, how much you used (mgs) in a day, and how many meds you came off of at once. I am 57 and came off of 3 meds at once and it took me a long time. I have 400days today and come to the conclusion that Vit/Min, Diet, Water, Electrolyte drinks, and Exercise is the key..This will not happen over night but it will in Time..With Time comes patience. You will experience different stages but if you just except them and not try to panic they will pass. All of the things I said above is going to help get this Transmitters/Chems etc. back up where they are suppose to be..Even if you do all of this just remember it takes time for all of this to kick in. You will keep turning corners and each corner is better then the last..Go with it do not fight it.
Bless

I am feeling okay. Not awesome though. I am soooo terrified I won't get any energy back :(

Usually the turning point is around days 5-6. Hopefully, you will notice some improvement starting tomorrow. Each day should get a bit better! a positive attitude helps wonders! So yes, keep thinking you WILL feel better tomorrow. Take care!
