if she wants to stay you should probably let her it would be great support for you i think and yeah about the sleep make sure you have some good dvd's or something cause to tell you the truth there is not going to be munch sleeping at least for most there isn't but hey if you know what to expect you won't be surprised you know ,it's not the worst thing in the world but then again it's not the greatest also so just hang with your wife do the Thomas and if nothing else just read and post if you can't sleep that's what i did like for 4 days i wasn't able to sleep but like a couple hours if that ,but after the 4th day it will start to come back i did take xanax and that helped but only while i detoxed ,didn't want to start another problem you know heck my friend gave me like 12 and i gave him back 8 when day 4 was over so i only took 4 but that was just to sleep you know .so your going at it right just be patient and always remember one day at a time man and you will be off those little demon bas tards ...God bless....Jeff..
Glad to hear you are making it through day 2. Day 3 was the worst for me, I hope that doesn't happen to you. If it does then know that I felt much better by day 4. Today really has been better and I am thinking i might actually get some good sleep tonight. I feel like I will. I was actually able to concentrate and read an entire book today..a first for me in months. I really had no idea the vicodins were messing with my concentration level. I am thinking clearer than I have in a while too and its nice. My pain has been tolerable today, the tylenol helped and I hope I dont have a headache again tomorrow. Only took 1 tylenol as I am thinking that they are the cause of the headaches every morning. Seems wierd but I remember reading something about rebound headaches.
best of luck to you!
best of luck to you!
hey no problem what so ever that's what this place is for when i found it was when i found my new life of living pill free so i love this place it helped so munch and now just trying to pay it forward as munch as i can.well glad to hear you doing well and you'll be fine you sound like a real strong person so just keep it up..jeff..
Hey man, doing fair today,felt pretty good around 3,but now a little jittery.I've got some natural stuff that has a calming effect.Still no craving for the pills,mentally I feel stronger than I do physically.Chugging gaterade,and my appetite is still good. I submerged my shoulders in the bath and that helped.My RLS seems to be in my upper body.Hoping for some sleep tonite,got some melatonin. Its been 2days + and I've got this whipped.Just wanting to feel better physically.Thanx for the support,its been very helpful to talk to people that have been there.
so you on day 2 as of around a little while ago according to your post ..????... that's good cause that means it's half way over now man and it sounds as if you are holding up strong so keep up the great work man and just know your doing awesome ,one day at a time that's the way and just keep soaking if needed and make sure to hydrate ,water,Gatorade ,etc...whichever you like and if there is any runs make sure to take Imodium ..(it was my best friend for a few days)....and if for any reasons it's hard to eat try chicken noodle soup with cracker that worked wonders for me ,it really did great and the crackers are filling so just keep on keeping on man you doing great and post progress as munch as you can ..god bless...Jeff...
Hey there,yeah it's been a struggle.I'm glad you too are giving this junk up. I too started takin pills at work,I had a big job at the time and it allowed me to finish on time.Before I knew it I was hooked,and from there you know the cycle.Last nite was my first nite without,and was surprised that I actually slept about 4 hours.I've been following the Thomas recipe pretty closely and it seems to help.My aches are mostly in my upper body and I thought my arms were going to explode.Even during the roughest time I've had no desire to get some pills.I'm trying to trick myself by thinking,the next week of pain is like working all week with no break,just to get to a weekend and relax,its gonna be my reward.Take vitamins,pain meds deplete your body of vits and minerals,they seem to help.Good news that your husband is there,my wife has been instrumental in my detox.I hope you start to feel better,stay positive,trick your mind,even during all this discomfort,I'm feeling better,crazy but true.And keep posting,it has helped me.
Hey, hope things are going ok for you. I went cold turkey this week too. Monday was my last time. I would never have believed I could have gotten addicted to vicodin. Have been taking them since April for a back injury. I realized that I was addicted when I started taking them at work. I will say that yesterday was the toughest day for me. I felt like I had the worst flu of my life. I had the chills, stomach hurt, and I felt like I could have crawled out of my skin. Today was better. I decided to tell my hubby and I was soooo glad I did. He was completely understanding. He kicked an oxy habit 18 years ago after a bad mc accident. I wished I had told him sooner. Anyways..I just wanted to say hope you are hanging in here. I have been "lurking" on this board for the last 6 weeks getting up the courage to give up the vicodin. I tried the taper method..didnt work. If I had them I took them. Best of luck...
