yes, I'm athletic too and the water really helped. I was uncomfortable at first because my body was literaly flushing (sorry) but it helps the discomfort end quicker and you won't be dehydrated. The xanax will help, just use as little as possible. Like Skidmore sad, be careful. You can totally do this, and everybody is here for you. Your not alone, so you have people here to talk to when you start to panic. Reaching out when your feeling something really helps.
LOts of water helps.Hang tough .Its a little overwelming at first but it gets better.Life without vicoden and percocets is beter than ever.My advice to you would be If you must use the xanax do so however be carefull My prayers are with you
