Tyro/b6--How to take

[maddogmmm]

I have read all of your posts about L-tyro and b6 etc. Thank you all for infomormation. My question is do you stop all the pain meds. before taking the L-tyro and b6, or do you overlap them. I am currently taking oxycontin 40mg 2x daily and lorcet 10/650 2 3x daily. Should I just go cold or what is the protocol? Sorry if my question is a little confusing. Thank you all in advance for any advice you can give me.----Your Friend----Michael

well today is the day, i am going for my surgery today. I posted a couple of day ago about someeone gave me oxy's for money i loaned them well in case anybody cares i flushed them screw the money, even though that was my rent money, oh well i will survive and now al least i dont have the guilt or drugs in my system. the only thing tat sucks is all the work i put in to stay sober, and now i will be taking the same drugs after my surgery that caused the problem to begin with.

Hi everyone: ) I posted a couple of days ago, concerned about Vicodin withdrawal and some issues associated with it.  Glad to say, that today is my fifth day without it.  Although I am proud of myself for being so strong to get through it.  It was tough the first three days, but yesterday morning I felt like myself again.  Well, a glimpse anyway: )  My biggest ailment was the restlessness of my legs and arms. I just could not sit still. It was so frustrating and painful that I cried through Monday afternoon.: (  That tapered off, thankfully, and I went through the flu symptoms and all that fun stuff.  I wasn't able to eat until tonight, which, when my tummy started growling, I ate and ate and ate: )  I'm nautious right now but at least I ate: )  Happy about that!  Also happy that I'm doing allright.  Taking a little at a time, looking forward to tomorrow because I know what tomorrow is, a little bit better than today.  Each day I've looked forward to the relief of tomorrow.  : )

However...*sigh, there has to be a but...*  I'm out of my mind hyper. I'm shaking, as if I took way too many caffeine pills.  I went out for the first time tonight, all my friends noticed.  My eyes are so wide open, I can't seem to calm down.  I feel like running a marathon, if only I thought my legs could take it! : )Does anyone know how long this will last?  I haven't slept since Monday at 8 PM, and it's now Thursday morning, almost 5 AM.  I'm not tired.  I'm feeling loopie.  Sleep aids are no help, I tried high blood pressure pills, no good.  Any advice would help: )

The mental cravings are still there, but I've just looked the other way, the way that shows how far I have come and how hard I fought to be here now.  It's helping.  But...the shaking...arg!

maddog:
what i ment in my post above is get on the l-tyrosine/b6, zink,
manganese, magnesium, copper, and vitamen a as soon as possiable!
people who are taking opiates deplete the bodys supply of these
amino-acids, vitamins, & minnerals, which are key ingrediants in
manufactureing endorphans, dopimine, etc... so i've found that if
i take it every day, weather i'm using or detoxing it sure makes a huge difference, espically while detoxing!

as far as tapering...if you can do it. i've always found it incredably difficult to taper. the benefits of tapering are marginal for me. there is something to be said for stopping cold. i sometimes will take a very reduced dose of oxy-c (for me 20mg) the first night and no opiates there after. i can't say enough in favor of the nutritional supplements. i think, for me anyhow, that is what makes detoxing very "doable!"

hippy:
i was clean 17 years before an old injury to my neck came back to
literally tear my life to pieces. it's intresting to note what
pain changes in the addiction/recovery model.


hey both you guys, welcome to the forum! there will always be room *for just one more addict here!*

keep an angel on your shoulder
