Ugghh trying not to be discouraged

[kimbo546]

Hello everyone my names Kim and i have been addicted to opiates for the last 6 years, the last 2 years being the worst. 20-25 a day. September 23rd was the last day i took any pills. I went straight to an outpatient detox for 21 days where they started me on 40mgs of methadone a day and tapered me down. My last dose of 5mg was october 13th. I am starting my 7th day off the methadone. wds still slightly present but its this dry throat sinus pressure and fatigue and sadness that is still lingering. Sleep still ***** and now im finding myself thinking can I really ever truly feel happy again and motivated without the use of stupid opiates. Angry and discouraged. Please help......

Sorry to hear that you are down Kim. When I came off of Methadone it was one of the hardest things that I ever had to do. I am so glad that you chose short-term treatment. It will get better I promise. I remember day 7 off the Methadone!  Blaaahhh!!!! You should be happy! Your withdrawls aren't gonna last that much longer you just have to have FAITH!
Keep posting because it helps.
