The shakes are normal so is the brainfog. Don't lose it and try to post again and ask for help. There are several people here that know withdrawing and can help you with it. Good Luck! Bmac

Thanks for the advice on the tapering from meth.Am
I going too fast? I am under no pressure to hurry nor do I mind kickin out the few bucks for the meds so if Im going too fast I would GGLLAAAADLY slow down by the advice of an expert. My last jump was from 20 to 15mgs and I knew that was too much but 20mgs was just my hhmm call it comfort zone. I knew I had to jump and it had to hurt and that was that. My future plans were for 2.5 every two wks until I got really low and then maybe go down by the 1mg. Eventhough its rainin outside the suns shinin on me. I am happy to slow my taper.Thanks for the advice,Melissa

Sorry to break in, I have never posted before but have been lerking for a long time and have a question. My b/f has been clean from oxys for about 4 months now and he feels like he is having secondary withdrawls. He has gone through so many withdrawls before and this has never happened but then again he never stayed clean this long either. Has anyone ever gone through this? Thank you so much for any help you can give.

Man, all these people coming out of the woodwork here this wonderful Sunday afternoon/morning. Glad to see you found us.
Morphine, oxy all this **** can cause alot of mental and physical problems no matter how long or if it's out of your system. I have been thru several withdrawals lately and I am going to be glad when I am OK again. Whether you need to get over it or whether you need help in doing that you came to the right place. I wish some of my fellow 'timers' had PC's at home because the weekends get slow around here and all you can do is hang on until tonight and in the morning. Thomas has a recipe on here and it will help once you start w/d ing or have been over them for a while. It works. MrM can help you with the withdrawing **** believe me and MethDude knows being straight again, so guys hang tight and if you wanna talk I am on here 24/7, I have an addiction with this place. Bmac

welcome to the fourm,

the worst of the with drawls( flu like symptoms last about 5 days, during this time sleep is hard to come by,depression set in, totol loss of most of your energy,runny nose, restless leg and body at night  makes ya toss an turn all night, on fun at all.

i don't know if you know about thomas's recipe of vitamine s but it helps a lot , it did for me and other here.

receipe.
L-tyrosine 1000 mgs 4 a day in morning week 1 , 2 a day weeks after.
b-6 100 mgs 2 a day
vitamines a- c and e.
calsium magnisum
imodium for the runs( very important.
hot baths at night  for the leg and body aches.ans cramps.
a strong multi vitamine
a stromg multi minaril supplement
patasium or bannas for restless legs and body.
if you can something for sleep for week 1 valume or xanax
ween off them as the week progress's
5htp for depression 1 a day if needed
the 5htp also helps with sleep 3 or 4 at night.
you can get thenm at a vitamine store.
drink lots of liquids water, or gatoraid for lost electrolites.
after week 1 sleep and weakness / lack of energy are a big problem, try to start to exersize , the more the better to bet the natrawl endorphines up and running after the 1st month you start to feel better as each day pass's.

keep posting and stay in touch with addicts who are clean. you can get some emails here if you need them, just ask. don't be suprized if you cry at the drop of a hat , your feelings start rushing back into your life. and one day you will feel joy and it is a great feeling and worth  all this ******** ya have to go through .

peace hippy

I hope I just misunderstood this: 'keep posting and stay in touch with addicts who are clean'.I am not clean and never will be. Is there something I said here or not. Anyway Peace Bro! Bill
