well made it 21 hours so far

[NINJAMUFFIN]

ok so its been 21 hours so far since my last pill, and i seriosulsy want to walk into traffic. i cant even describe how depressed i am. im sorry for the negative post but i need to get this out. i tried to take a hot bath but my body hurts soo bad i cant stop crying. i have a very low tolerance for discomfort or pain. i never started taking these pills for pain just for fun.  i cannot stopp going to the bathroom but it hurts to even be sitting up. my bf keeps saying come on lets go for a walk and get ur mind off it but he doesnt understand i cant move my body is soo wobbly i really can barely stand. how long will these really bad withdrawals last? i know people say 5-7 days but does that mean 5-7 of the  seveere withdrawl or does it get beeter each day? i dont think i can take one more day of this. o seriosuly am thinking of how good i would feel if i snorted a oxy right now and im drolling it soudns so good.  i really jsut wish i could go to sleep and wake up when this is over but i cant sleep at all im so ******* anxious. aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh  i want to scream and never stop!

Your doing great!! I'm on day two right now no vicodin and doing ok.  For me I took 2 walks yesterday and it did really help to work the cramps out. Oh and I took everyone's advice yesterday and stopped taking the ultram they gave me too so now today like I said I have took nothing and it's not so bad if you try to do something to take your mind off it.  If you need to talk I'm here :) keep up the great work don't quit!!!

Just keep in mind that this won't last forever. As each hours goes by it's bringing you closer to being pill free. I know it doesn't feel that way but in the end there is a great reward.

Nyquil may help. It treats flu like symptoms which is what you are having.

Hang in there Muffin! I am glad your bf is there with you and supportive, even if you cant do the walks just yet. I dont have any great words of wisdom, just wanted to let you know we are here for the vents and please post as much as you can, now and especially once you get clean. It makes a big difference.
Peace~

I know it is hard, but thank goodness you have someone there with you while you go through this.  Tell him not to be offended by anything you say for the next week.  I remember I said some pretty harsh things.  I am so glad my hubby didn't take it to heart and knew it was the drugs, or I guess I should say the lack of that was causing the moods.

I am very proud of you for this step.  You can do it.  You are stronger than you think.

Its probably a shade early for the walks - your bf has your best interest at heart though, it sounds. Have you looked up the Thomas Recipe and AminoAcidProtocol under the Health Pages at lower right hand corner of page? They are good. The immodium is for loose stools - the emetrol works well for vomiting. Use these adjuncts as they will help as well as anything. The depression and crying is not abnormal. I used lexapro during my w/d's - its an RX item - but good. One of the amino's is very good for depression....can't remember which one right now - I used benadryl for sleep and had good luck - also celestial seasonings Sleepytime tea - melatonin does the job for many - a benzodiazepine of any flavor (valium, librium.zanax, ativan, etc.) comes in handy for awhile. Most people seem to think that day 3or4 is the worst. Just hang in there and stay strong. I never liked pain either - it just worked out that i have had more in my life than most people can understand!!! So stay out of the traffic and keep posting regardless of what you have to say - this too shall pass..................

[GoingToMakeIt]

Way to go! Have your BF get some immodium if you need it. Drink some Gatorade and some Ensure. It will help with energy. Usually the worst is day 3 & 4, but every one is different. Take some Motrin or Ibuprofen for the pain. Hang in there and don't worry about posting. It is your lifeline. We have all been through this.

Whoa Muffin Lady............You're gonna be okay.  Breath.  Deep breaths.

We're here with you.  We know!  It's horrible!  

The good news is that after all of this, you'll love your life again.

Best Wishes.
