hi, your post is very helpful and informative, the thomas recipe, health pages top right hand corner, has the things you recommend, most of us do ask posters to read that, and to use it to help them with there symptoms, its good you are doing so well, take care and god bless.
thank you and sorry sudie58. i did not go navigate the site fully.
i would also like to add that it is easier to ween off of opiates when you prolong taking them in the day. when you wake up you aren't experiencing the immediate "crash", you a few hours beyond which is very different than taking a small amount in the morning and dealing with the drop.
it curbs off that full blown insomnia until one is ready to completely stop.
that is a very good tip, and useful when doing a taper, i think its good that we can pass on the things we learn from our own experiences,thats whats good about this site, all my best wishes to you,
Yea good point ant. There were days in a row during my stint with the narcs that if I could hold out during the morning and took my meds later in the afternoon it helped not feeling the need for them the next morning. But when I did take them at 10 in the morning(which was most of the time) my body just needed them early the next morning. Your body just adjusts to when u take them and needs them at it's reg time everyday. It *****.
Baker- recently for pain i would take in the morning and at night. if i skipped a day or two it wasn't so bad as long as i didn't take the morning dose. if i took the morning dose i FELT the drop of the drug in me and i would never think twice about taking another one.
in tapering i would rather cut off the daytime dose and sleep better than go to bed and sleep like crap.
- when i get a bad nights sleep with or without withdrawals my muscles ache so much i want to cry.
a few days ago i stopped taking my current script to see if i am hooked and i think i am bc of the chills. if tonight ends up in a pool of sweat then i have to get this monkey off my back.
it's pretty crazy how you do not have to take these pills everyday and still be hooked without realizing it.
i can only imagine how long this has been going on... and how many times i have lashed out on people bc of this med.
wow i feel so guilty.
