Acupuncture & Withdrawls

[ASauer12]

Hi there! Today I am on day 11 after going cold turkey from Hydrocodone although many of my symptoms were starting to lighten the anxiety has still been in full force and I have had zero desire to eat. Last week in the midst of a nervous break down I was told acupuncture can be used for assistance in chemical detox. I almost had an anxiety attack in the parking lot but had my first session today. I have never felt so relaxed. I came home took care of my family, made dinner (AND ATE A PLATE) and now am about to go to bed, all with 1 ounce of anxiety. It was so refreshing to go about my life without feeling like I was on a cliff about to jump all day! I would never push a treatment or medical advise on anyone, I just wanted to share my experience since everyone else's has helped me so much!

xoxo Blessing!

Lol. Ya it's not for everyone. It was close to a month before it felt like the cement bricks were taken off my feet. I really pushed myself though. I wouldn't let myself just lay around no matter how bad I wanted too. I hated being around people,but I actually felt better not being alone. I still have some depression but I won't go on anti-depps again. I just weened off them too. I would like to gain some weight back already. Iv's always been very tall and slim,but after quitting food tastes like complete sh!t. Which ***** butt since I cook for a living. I am starting to see the rainbow at the end though. Everyday is a bit better.
