Day 2 - No vikes

Ok, so far so good w/the physcial symptoms (a little achey) but I am in THE WORST mood.  All the **** I've been avoiding is crashing down on me now (hmmm, the reasons for overindulging are becoming clearer).  We have no money, house is always a wreck, it's like ground hog day w/the kids - laundry, feed them, clean up over and over and over.  Also premenstrual.  I know it's all compounded by withdrawal and I'm already on zoloft...when will this gloom, bitchiness pass...Argh!

Are you takling a antidepressant?  I have been preparing to quit now for 2 weeks and started myself on Effexor.  I am only on hour 28 without taking a pain pill.  I feel OK, not great but OK.  I just had to go and get imodium (we all know why).  When did the moodiness kick in, right away or after hour 48? Just wondering what I have to look foreward too.  Stay strong!

hi...good luck.  i dont know what mg. you were at, but i will tell you this.  i was at almost 1600 mg of hydro.  i made it 30 hours with no drugs and i thought i was going to die....literally i was so sick.  at the 30th hour, i decided to contact a couple of the suboxone and methadone clinics to help me get through this.  they could not start me on a program for four to five days....so what the heck do i do until then.  i was informed to continue my pain meds until i can start the methadone clinic.  well needless to say, i went to my doctor, the doctor who prescribes me most of my pain medication and told him my problem and told himn about joining the methadone clinic.  eventually on the methadone i will have to be weaned off that.  i have decided to forego the methadone clinic and i am starting a medical regime with my doctor.  i know i can get through this if i have help with the physical withdrawal.  it is not at all mental with me....it is all physical.  and it sucks going cold turkey.
