Hey Guys,
I am starting day eleven with no hydrocodone. I was taking a considerable amount daily but fell into it during a Xanax to Valium taper per the Ashton manual. I am still on the Valium taper at the advice of some on this site during the hydro w/d. Currently down to 15mg Valium daily and will drop again in a couple of days. Question is, why does it seem to be getting more difficult and not easier? I felt like I got over a hump at day 4-5 then it's been progressively getting harder. Referring to insomnia, anxiety, depression, overly emotional etc. I do have a tremendous amount of negative things on my plate and feel the pressure. As it is with many of us the use starts because of external pressure seeking relief but it is as if the clearer my thoughts become the worse I feel.
Any words of wisdom? I always hear that day 15 is a big turning point. I have also been told my insomnia this late and worse feeling is uncommon....?
