day 9 suboxone

[toomanytimes]

What a wonderful nights sleep i had! It sure does wonders for my attitude.  Today i am going to see my shrink/naturopathic dr. for  vitamin/amino acid IV therapy.  I haven't taken any sub yet today, and i am feeling pretty good, i do feel my mood spiraling down a bit but i'm not going to take any sub - at least untill after this IV therapy- want to be able to notice if it does anything for the withdrawls.  I'm not sure if i will have it more than once or what is going to happen after this.. one day at a time i guess.

My head is clear tonite! No nausea! Am getting to go to bed early tonite--finally-all week when it seemed like i needed it so bad, i wasn't getting to bed till so late. I am so relieved to be feeling "normal"... i had forgotten how good it felt.  So everyone who is working on getting clean-please keep up the good work, these clear moments give the extra boost i need to keep going and know how good it will be to be free again!

the IV therapy was good-is was a combination of vitamins and minerals, no amino acids, but i am going to talk to her about that  (smiles)  i took just 2 mg sub today about an hour ago.  my head seems to be a bit clearer, not such a cobwebby feeling.  I am a little bit tired, but i still feel like doing things, it certainly isnt' the "i don't want to get out of bed" feeling and mind set that came with the withdrawl before.  No heavy eyes while i was driving today! YEA!  I still have nausea but am clearing it up when i take the dicyclomine.  So overall i feel a lot better.  I'm so happy for you, fhl, ato get rid of those side effects is great!  

It wasn't chealation, i don't even know exactly what that  is......

i hate to exercise too, even when i know it is the single most important thing we can do to help with our withdrawl and recovery...

I would love to try that vitamin/amino IV thing.  I bet it will be a big help.

I am Day 11 and down to 4mg, 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening and guess what?  No nausea at all, no weird heavy eye feeling, no tiredness at all.  I am so glad.  I need to go get on the treadmill.  I have no discipline when it comes to exercise.

Good luck to you toomanytimes!
