Thank you for all your help. Ya i get a pain in my right side alot. Ive had blood test done and they have said they cant find anything. But Im starting to wonder if it is my liver. Im ok right now. I just know the wds are coming. Luckly my daughter isnt home right now. It hard to think I can go to work bc i have to deal with people. and anyone who has been through withdrawls knows people are the last think you want to deal with. Im just hoping bc i wasnt on them that long the withdrawls will not be bad. My legs hurt alittle right now. And thats about it. But I know as soon as my family comes home Im gonna get upset. and not want to be around them. I hate that i did this to myself again. And I dont even know why. I recently moved to a different state and i hate it here. So i think that had a lot to do with it. But i cant blame that i can only blame myself!

You can replace the Valium with a Natural product like Valerian Root this helps a lot with anxiety also they sell herbal teas that help. some do work through their wd and you work at night this may be a blessing in disguise as sleep is very difficult and it helps a lot to stay busy.. as far as the refill I tried to stay clean with them sitting in the pharmacy failed every time. I had to tell my Dr. and ask for him not to prescribe. also taking 16 of the 5 500 is over the max for Tylenol consumption on your liver and also your kidneys. we do a lot more damage to ourselves then we realize.. it will not hurt to have a liver enzyme test done ok.  I wish you well.. lesa

I know how you feel. I just relapsed after 10 months and that is the longest I ever made it. I have done this too many times to count. Sometimes when I relapsed for a few weeks it wasn't too bad and once when I relapsed for 11 days(only using for 7 of them) it was full blown wd from H@!!. There is no way of predicting. The first year of being clean is early recovery. The first 6 months is prime time for relapse. Getting all of the help and support that you can is what you need to do to stay clean. Have you gone to NA, and do you have family support? You will most likely not be able to stay clean with a standing script waiting for you. If you are serious about this you need to cancel that script and tell the doctor not to write another one. These are just suggestions I am giving you that were given to me when I first signed on almost 2 years ago. I didn't take them at first and it took many painful relapses to see they were right. I wish you all the luck. Feel free to contact me if you need to talk. Corey

Thanks.  Im just dreading this. I hate feeling this way and knowing i did this to myself again. Everything was going so good. I keep telling my self not to pick up the rx but i do everytime. I can get another script till the 20th. So I should just go through this and not even think about the rx, But im wondering how long i will feel this way since i havent been taking them as long as i did before. I only had 3 today of the 10/500. And yesterday I took 16 of them. Im not feeling any wds right now. But Im really cold. I know its gonna happen. And I only have 3 somas to take. I figured i would take 1 a night to get thru the leg cramps. But I just hope i dont lose my job over this. Im a vet tech and i work overnights and theres no way i can make it through the night. I called in today. Im just worried about tomorrow. Thanks for the help.

So sorry that you have to go through this again. You will get sick again. Some people do make it through work during detox. I wouldn't be able to. Can you call off if you feel too sick? It is flu season and this(your recovery) is worth whatever it takes to get through it. I'm sorry there are no easy outs that will keep us from being dope sick. Only not picking up. I hope that it is easier on you this time and wanted to offer my support. Please put your recovery first and everything else will fall into place. What if you really had the flu? Everything would turn out OK. Lots of luck hon. Keep posting and let us know how things are going for you. Corey
