No. Couple my friends that I trust have to much going on. It's me, and now this website; it's a start right?
Not to get personal or anything I'm just trying to dissect and understand all this; did u have a big boost in libido. I didn't knw norco suppressed sex drive.
just wanted to lend some support....hang in there....your emotions will be all over the place for a bit...just ride the waves....I CT'd off 10-12 Norcos a day...was not fun....and the emotions would hit out of no where...but they evened out. Stick close to the site and we can help....are there any close friends you can talk to about this?
I can't be round people right now. With kids and shty wife I've been in garage. Music is helping. I have a violent history but have been violent free since dec 2006. It ***** not being able to lean on family.
For the rage, maybe talking to people at an NA or AA meeting. Most there are really nonjudgemental. When I talk my anger out with other people, it helps defuse it and put it in to perspective. I also strap my back support belt on and walk to a park bench. Being outside makes my mood lighten.
OMG I forgot about that one..OH, yes about almost a year ago I could swing a chair through the window. I would cuss & snap at people and go have a cig. Oh! Thanks for the memory..I am just sitting here kind of laughing about that one.. Look out everybody when I was around..This will pass..I sure hope so. Get a punching bag and go to it..lol

What about rage. Smething I failed to mention. Within last 24 hours I have extreme rage built inside of me. Grinding my teeth and afraid to go outside as I feel I want any minuet reason to fight. Thank goodness I already drink bout 120 ounces water every day. Thanks for heads up on protein n electrolytes.
During my week of detox flu I decided that because I knew I was going to be on an emotional and mental rollercoaster, I would not take any of my crappy moods or dark thoughts seriously. I just hung on to the thought, "No more pills."
You mention surgery is scheduled for you. Have you planned post surgery pain management? when there is real pain mixed with drug induced and detox pain it becomes difficult to sort everything out.
Just some thoughts. Good luck with the surgery. I chickened out of a 4-level fusion and laminectomy. I do a lot of Pilates (for core w/bad backs) and swimming now instead.
Hi Shag..You are on a med cocktail..This is a bit of a different w/d then what you said in the other post about coke & crank. All these meds can hit different Neurotransmitters. There is alot of things going on in the brain. When you remove a opiate and the more it is broke down and synthetic the harder it is to let go, as far as detoxing it out. YES It does feel like the Flu..The only thing you can do is do not get frustrated as you experience different stages from the removal of this med. Try to keep Hydrated, Lots and Lots of water..Get some Protein powder and Electrolyte powder. Make sure you get some good vit/min that we need to replenish the body from using drugs. You can experience anxiety to being weak, no sleep, no motivation it all comes in its own stages. Take walks or get some kind of exercise if you can. We can share a lot of tips on what we used or still are using after the detox..So keep checking post and just ride the wave because you will be able to walk in the sand soon.

Ps. I also am beginning to be extremely sad and depressed even with the Paxil. This is scaring me.
