My new Hobby......Sneezing!

So I'm coming down to the last part of my Sub. Taper, I'm on Day 15, and at .5 mg, and I've been sneezing all week. Wow, how we forget about sneezing when we're using.lol. I dont think I ever sneezed once in the past 2 years on Oxy. Overall, the taper has been doable so far. Still not at the energy level I'd like to be (of course). But over time, it will return. Got lots of healing to do. I managed to get some housework done and of course packing. Hope u all are having a successful day. Don't give up! :)

Yup- I'm setting sneeze records too. For the past week every time I take one step outside I sneeze like 4-5 good ones. It's only a little embarrassing to sneeze every 1/2 hour. I also don't think I have sneezed in the past 15 years. Nor did I ever get sick. I guess we're just getting our bodies back....we gotta take the bad with the good.

I'm pretty sure the sneezing is very normal for our stage. I've read it here many times.

Good luck and keep fighting the good fight!

Sneezy; It's likely the opiates. Before opiates I never had allergy symptoms at all. I thought I grew into them and was taking more & more allergy meds. A couple months after I stopped the opiates (Darvocet) ALL of my supposed allergies were gone, all of them! It was a real eye opener. After a couple of relapses, the 'allergies' came back until I stayed clean for a while then they dissapeared again. For some relief, try the herbs 'Yellow Dock' or 'Nettle Leaf' they work really well. You could celebrate every sneeze as a sign that your body is healing and welcome it as your friend...

Hi amaria, part of it could be the taper but this is also allergy season. I woke up with a sore throat and all stopped up, probably because we had the windows up. Not trying to diagnose, but some allergy medicine may help. Good luck and hope you feel better soon :)
