Hi Jim..Just caught your note. You are doing OK..You will feel some emotions that you have not felt in Years. As far as the AD med, that did not work for me..I was told by a Brain Dr that it would take at least a Year or two for my Brain Chems, Transmitter on & on to balance back..This should NOT be in your case..You were on them for a short time and at a fairly lower dose then many. Just stay in the moment and try your best not to give in..Do Not let that tape in the Brain play it again for just one more..OK?? That One more can lead you down that road again. Stick close to the site when you are having a Bad day..If you feel you are going to go use..Jump on here or get to those meetings. In those meetings you will get lots of numbers so you can call them. It is not good to try to do this alone..The "I" thing got us in trouble. Me, Myself & I did not get along at all during my drug days and while detoxing..Now It is the three of us with other clean people. Be Safe! We will be here for YOU..lol
Bless

Hey jimmy. Hang in there bud. I'm on day 8. Norco/percs were my doc. If you can just hang in there you will start feeling better soon. I feel so much better today than I did on day three. You will too.

Today is day three ...i felt pretty good up until 2pm ...but still being strong.  Im trying hard not to think about it. I'm not as shaky as yesterday but still feel like it a little bit. I do have a doctors appointment next week and was wondering wat kind of depression medication i should take and stay away from because i know some are addicting. i did notice that I'm not smoking cigarettes that much .....probably cuz I'm wanting i pill instead. Crying right now cuz im scared  :-(

Hi & Welcome..Well the good thing is that you were not on them for Years & Years like most..How many mgs in a day were you taking??
There is so much to this..First if you are buying them or going around people who use, you have to bite the dust on that one. We have to change our Playmates & Playground. Get to some meetings like AA/NA and also some church if you are a believer. These pills take so much away from our Brain, Body & Soul.
Start drinking Lots of fluids to flush the poisons out. Take some Epsom salt baths to help with aches and it will also draw poisons out. Get some good Vit/Min and start taking them.
On the Bottom there is a Thomas recipe but they removed the Benzo on the other one.
Just keep in touch on here too. Try to stick with this post and others will chime in..It is usually slow on the weekends. Let us know how you are feeling as you will go through a few stages during your Recovery..I wish you the best and I am glad you want to take your Life back!
