Thank you Lilly.  I will start the vitamins.  I acually had a few hours tonight where I could have a conversation and not try and run away.....  a small victory but I'll take it

The anxiety was the worst for me. ( I am about 3 1/ years clean) It was so bad i could not watch TV, only house reruns, and if they phone rang I wanted to dive under the covers. I was riddled with it. As time goes on it goes away, and you will also have good and bad days. I noticed milestones along the way, like 15 days, then one month, then three months, etc. The anxiety will fade as time goes on, but it does take some time. it took me a full two years to be "completely back to myself" that does not mean I was suffering for two years, it just took that long for me to feel totally normal again. Take vitamins that are good for your nerves, like a B complex, and B-12 on top of that, and get some magnesium. you should also be taking calcium most likely. Make sure you eat right, and if you can't, drink some Ensure. This anxiety thing will pass. Congrats on getting your life back. It's the best gift you could ever give yourself.

Hugs,
Lily

Yeah, I would say its possible....our brain chemistry changes when we take any type of opiates for any length of time.

I am seeing someone. Thank you for the suggestion. Is it possible that my brain is still not working right?

Have you considered any type of therapy? I was going to say aftercare but if you only took oxys for 3 months perhaps seeing a therapist would work?

You have made it so far I'm on day one I was reading this post yesterday and it said if u sit there and think about all the bad stuff and think how shirty and down u are it just makes it worse get up and do so stuff. Go for a walk around the block drive around and listen to ur favorite songs.  First u have to feel good about ur self shower do your hair even tho u don't want to u will feel better.  I cry about everything any how so no sad thoughts. I hope this helps
