Out of breath

Ok I'm starting day 13 of no pills . To be honest I'm not in the best of shape but give me a break all I have to do is take out the trash and I gotta sit down. when I was on the pills no big deal. Is this just a side affect and will get better with time. other wise I'm feeling pretty much ok sleep is still a little messed up but getting better

HI I agree with the other posters....I also believe in giving the body and brain what it needs to heal...quite a wile back someone suggested I try whey protein shakes...there loaded with vitamins amino acids as well as the protein all of witch the body and brain need to heal
you can pick up a 2lb can up at walmart for 15 bucks..the chocolate flavor is good and all you do is mix it with milk......I came off methadone and was sick for months but once I started adding 2 shakes a day I started to feel better right away...I wish I had found out about this sooner and I recommend to everyone who goes threw detox...every little thing helps and this is a cheep fix   congrats on 13 days good luck and God bless....Gnarly

And it will continue to get better!  Just hang in there.  I remember being SO exhausted that I had to sit down to fold the clothes after I walked from the laundry room to the couch!!!  It gets better!!! ; )  Now I can't sit still!

Congrats on your clean time!
