RDR..are you around? - DAY 1 for the Hydros!

[K Todd]

RDR,

Hi sweetie,

Well, now after the months that we have talked and supported each other thru our different phases, I am glad, after a year your still here on the forum after bieng over 5 months free of the Hydros!

Well, now that the benzo's are way under control and down to minute...Today is my day 1 from the 7.5 Hydro's (about 5-7 a day) and yes, c/t.

I am already feeling the aching bones and flu like symptoms...I was just wondering, when you c/t off your 5 a day, did anything help you...like IBU or Cold and Flu Medicine??

Any love and help would be so much appreciate right now, because I want my clairity of mind, and my life back, and believe me...when I get thru this, I will be praising God up and down!

So...many days did it take for you, until you started to feel somewhat on the upbeat??

I'll wait for you reply...and miss talkin w/ since last week!

God Bless You!

Love,
Todd

yes you have to get it from a doctor.....For me i already had it here so i was lucky...Doctor have given it to one of my children who has ADD and could not sleep..Since i didn't want her on any of the ADD medicine he gave me that one with many refills, she didnt' take it long, because it made her to sleepy..So when i read on here a yr ago about it helping, i looked at he bottle it was the same med..
I have to say it helped so much that i would recommend getting some from your doc...
Your blood pressure goes up alot when detoxing, so really it brings it down and helps with all the creppy crawly feelings, sleep and chills and sweats!

Good luck my friend!!

you get the clonodine from your dr.  and you'd better take a week off if you can.  day 3 is usually the worst.  glad to see you in here.  i was kicking methodone back in june when i discovered this site, and you were a great help to me.  i also am a believer, and we prayed for each other to get through it all.  i'm doing well. have no cravings for the done at all, but still have to take some hydros for the back pain.  going to dr. tomorrow to try and find some other treatment for the pain.  maybe a steroid injection, or surgery.  we'll see.  my prayers are with you as you go through this. in Christ Jesus,  Lucy

I answered above.  You have to get it from a doc but its worth it.

Steph,

You and rdr recommend "clonodine"...why would a Blood Pressure Medicine help...if I never have had a blood pressure issue?

Is there something that relaxes you in the Clonodine?...I lack knowlege of how this can be helpful..

I'll wait to for your input to see why this helps,

Todd

Todd

clonidine is a blood pressure med. you get it from a doctor. but its easy to get.

Imodium Ad from the drugstore. Get the pills easier to go down
