Wave of euphoria

[kitascloudy]

I do have a question. I'm day 5 clean. Yesterday afternoon, i had this sudden wave of euphoria, like when the pills would start to kick in. ( i didnt take any! ) Is this normal??

[kitascloudy]

Thanks for reassurance. It happened again last night after i went for a lil walk with my puppy. I forced myself out the door. Hoping those endorphins would kick in. When i got home i laid down and felt a surge of well being go thru my body. Honestly though it really felt like i had taken a pill. Like my body was trying to convince me to take another pill and to keep feeling that way.  But i didnt! I re read tons of comments last night and it helped. I guess i just have to realize it's my brain doing that and not a synthetic. Today is Day 6 for me and i feel really good today. I actually slept a full 8 hours!! But my pj's and my hair were drenched!! Is my body getting rid of toxins??? or part of wd???

hii =) this happen  to me too i think around day 6 I was having an ehh day.. I was with my gf and out of no where i got this "excitement", I think I was shaking and just wanted to talk and talk and talk almost like I was high! but I had no guilty feeling, just knowing it was only MY emotions at work made it even more exhilarating!

i wouldn't complain, keep em comin =)

Hey, just wanted to chime in. Yes, this is normal. try to remember that your brain has been running on synthetics. And, at some point, it is going to kick in its own chemicals. which, honestly, is what I want back. I want to feel real joy again. Good luck and keep going!!

Crap! i posted on the wrong thread! ugh sorry guys getting used to this. I read somewhere on a post that exercise helps the seratonin return naturaly. So that what I did last night.i forced myself to do a half-assed workout routine, vaccummed and did dishes. This was such a struggle but i pushed myself. Then this morning i ate a good protein/potassium filled breakfast..then about 1110am, i puked it all in the trash at work! Blah!! Thanks for the responses. Its helping me get through the day!

I had this happen many times.Just a super happy almost euphoric feeling'especially from3-10wks sober but I do take cymbalta(although I had been taking it4over45days I didnt think it worked until I quit the opiates&w/n10days of quitting I realized they DO WORK SO WELL but didnt stand a chance against those opiates LOL).I still get those boosts of just being so happy+thrilled w/life for no reason.I THINK(just my opinion)that ur body is starting2produce seraronin natually+while its trying to adjust to having2do it natually ur getting"extra"seratonin while ur body is trying2adjust.It will regulate eventually cause ur bodies learning to produce what opiates were depleting n abundance(what we both took also XTC&coke also deplete it big time:any of thesebwould have used up so much of of ur brains"natural happy" so2speak wasnt producing enough.while using the opiates ur were taking SO MUCH of that out(that great euphoric feeling when using is from the seratonin but ur body can only produce so much naturally).My cymbalta I use for depression(and of course as a seraronin re-uptake I need because I did A LOT of opiates,a7month stint using gross coke& alot of XTC when I was much younger n high school) amazingly it took away about85+%of my fibro pain away too.I still on occasion get those boosts but my DR said its now just normal happiness thats why u will go from a good happy mood to a minute or2of bliss my body is FINALLY making me normal physically.Its amazing.Sorry this is very long I didnt mean to rable about myself.POINT IS:UR BODIES LEARNING2B HAPPY NATUALLY AGAIN.2me thats so great,gives u incentive NOT2go. Back.

I think this is normal...I'm not that far ahead of you, but I started to notice around a week that I wouldn't get the same exact europhia as when I was doing OC but would get periods of the day where I would get sudden bursts of energy and feelings of well being, like "Hey I can do this, this isn't so bad, everything's gonna be ok" type feeling....you know?  You're probably starting to turn a corner, which is great

I cannot even remember day 5!!  

No problem on the thingy...just be well!!

Congratulations on day 5!!! As far as the euphoria goes,enjoy it!!Day 5 had me in bed out for the count so I'm jealous,lol!!Keep going!!Stay strong~A

I too had that feeling of euphoria around the same time. I thought of it as a gift...how life could be, and I hold on tight to the knowledge that I can live without opiates..that I can think clearer, that I have hope in my life again. The euphoria didn't last, but the feeling that things will/can only get better (step by baby step) has remained.

oopshy on thread thingy.

[vicki595]

I'm sure someone will come along very soon and explain what you're feeling in great detail; you probably already know what brain chemicals are in action so I won't bother!


An aside: Try to keep your remarks to just one thread,okay?  It's not a huge deal but it does make it easy for the members to keep up with you and respond! Have a wonderful day!!

[vicki595]

I don't know for certain what's ever normal for others...But,I'll tell you from where I'm sitting it's absolutely normal!!   Enjoy!!  

Great on those 5 days!!
