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

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

My 2 Cents;
I was on 12 5/500 vics a day, and went c/t. I took Ibuprofen and eccederine, drank lots of water (what I could stomach anyway), took 2-3 hot showers a day and took flexeril to help me sleep. Each day got better for me and I was able to function pretty normally by day three. Now, the emotional part has lasted a little longer, (a little moodiness sometimes, mostly trying to kick the feeling that i NEED something to get me by) I'm on day 14 and doing pretty well all things considered. Congradulations! You can beat this and we are all here to help! Much Luv!!

I was just remembering when you where around 30 days off the Sub treatment, and I asked you "how your doing"

and you replied "kicking *** and taking names!"

I just got thru laughing, that I how we can remeber each others struggles from almost 1 year ago!

Any advise on the flu like symptoms would be greatly helpful. I know you had a master plan before you even started....and you also had success!

XOXO to you too Steph!
