get rid of the caffiene pills and buy vitamin b complex...and restful leg for at night. Keep hydrated you are almost there. Just think if you start again you will have to go through this all over again and believe me it's worse the next time and the next time and so on....I have 4 kids and believe me it's not easy to take care of them right now, but I keep moving to make the day go by faster even if it hurts. Just move slower. In between going to the bathroom yesterday I washed the kitchen floor.....try not to sit...it gives you to much time to think about your discomfort. I'm feeling ya believe me.  Good luck

My biggest withdrawal problem is the restlessness...the advice on keeping bus, whether it is washing the floors or going running is great and sound! Hey, your house proabbly has never been cleaner! I was a machine yesterday so I could work off this "nervous energy."

You have to get up and move...believe me I know it hurts but the more you lay around you won't get your energy back, and all you do is think about what hurts and the day goes by sooooo slow. You need to speed it up and then you will be feeling better quicker. Thats the way I think of it anyway. After being addicted to pills for 11 years my body just doesn't even want to hear it but it's gonna anyways

Yes, I have so much nervous energy. The Lortabs or Vicodin (whatever flavor I choose, but same reaction in my body) make me calm and euphoric. I can REALLY concentrate. I never had a problem doing this before my addiciton. However, without these pills, during my withdrawal, I am restless. I did not know what was wrong with me the other night...then realized the only changing factor was no pill was taken that evening. Then, I found this site after doing research and realized it was withdrawal.  was like "****, I'm an addict!"  So I guess if I want to kick this habit, I need to taper off. Do I want to kick it? This is my struggle. I won't lie, I love the feeling. But I felt fine before the addiciton.....so if I get through the withdrawal, I'll be back to my old self. Sorry to ramle, just lots of things in my head right now

I'm with Tammy on this one.  When I'm coming down it takes everything I have just to do what really needs done.  It takes me all day to clean the house, whereas if I had my pills it would take like an hour and then I'd be ready to go jogging afterwards...lol  That's why it's so hard for me to convince myself that I don't need them.  I'm used to conquering the world on them.  Now I have to muster up the energy just to the laundry.  Today is much better than the past two.  I've actually gotten up, gotten ready, picked up the house, and now I'm kind of anxious.  Blah. My husband is going to pick up a script of percs this afternoon. That's gonna be tough knowing he has them.

it is amazing how when u use u have the energy and strength to do any and everything then u stop and can barely stand up. ive done dope detox and was ready by now but this is feeling endless.anyone stay away from methadone.i believe its the hardest opiod to kick for sure.it dose feel better trying to do stuff but the energy level is definatly lowwww which makes for a crappy situation.

Of course it will end! If I were you I'd quit taking the caffeine pills...they are probably just making your anxiety worse. Take lots of advil and Immodium for the cramps, plus lots of hot showers. If the suffering never ended, then nobody would ever quit the drugs. But it does, and we do.
