Hi, Im happy finding this site and forums, dont feel like im doing it on my own anymore. Im on 45 hours since last perc. 50-60mg day habit. Last night had horrible RLS, Took so many things i dont know what finally worked after 6 hours of tossing and turning. Im already on xanax so i guess it being in my system is helping. Im getting really antsy now. legs shaking.  My mind is obsessing on this, i want it to be over. Im just really hoping that i feel more energized and focused and happy without the meds that gave me motivation and energy to get things accomplished. I feel like i dont know if i can be that person without them. Will i? Thanks

Im now at 62 hours and i actually feel more awake. The medications i take beyond the perc are now being able to work without being counteracted by perc.  Same problem last night, the RESTLESS LEGS. My god, they are the worst symptom i have- and it stinks cause i love to sleep lol.  Bought the Hylands Leg cramps, but im not sure if i should have bought the ones that say- for Restful Legs, The ones i got are for leg cramps with the quinine. I dont know if there is anydifference.. They seemed to work a lil bit. Ive been taking advil and those heat pads for my back pain, and i just took a hot bath.  I feel very confused, i wanted to stop but i had to b/c i dont have any and I dont have money for that, but at the same time im proud of myself..  Anyone have any words of encouragement.
Thanks
T.

I'm getting my energy back slowly, still not up to 70% yet... My legs are doing much better, I don't know if its all the vitamins or are just resting up for tonight. lol. I heard a theory that there are some of the same/similar/dirvivtave chemical compounds in opiates that are in Imodium.. I guess it kinda makes sense, take to much of either and you are cloggin up the highway, but I''m not sure one way or the other, just saying I could see how it could be linked. depending how many you have taken today I don't think 1-2 at night if it seems to help, even if its all physiological. As far time on the pills, once again I'm not a scientist or doctor but I imagine what happens like all the good little stuff up in your brain gets flushed out and you experience, what I believed is called a euphoric like state, however with anything you only have so much and reproduce so much so after a while you use all of that and mill can spit enough out so you compensate(this is what happened to me, I call it chasing the high) anyways, I think that when you make your brain do that to itself, and then go back to plain old normal brain then I feel thats we get the slight depression. But exercising and getting out and living will all get it back to the middle.

Thanks for your reply, i really needed that encouragement that im getting there. I just went for a little walk to work out my legs, they are starting!! I also did a little cleaning, -OCD about cleaning so it makes me feel happy, except while i was washing the floor , i ripped my knee in my favorite jeans lol.  Im not sure but when i took the immodium last  night, it did help legs, read somewhere it can.  i feel ok, except the legs, god they are so annoying, Do you have more energy yet? Its like i thought i had energy when i took pills but was it just fake? did it really just make me more depressed and tired in the long run? whats your take?

HI! 45 hours is a good amount of time,  so you are probably in to the worst part right now. I would suggest a bath or shower if possible, it helped me just to feel clean and it works wonders on the legs. I'm around 90 hours and there were a couple of times I just didn't know if i could do it, but you just kinda have to keep the mindset that there is no way you are taking a pill. For the legs I would also suggest icyhot, bananas, potassium, their is this stuff called hylands leg cramps, which seems to help a little. Make sure to drink plenty of fluids, you really are almost there, just hang in there for a bit longer and you will feel much better.
