Day 7 of my taper PLEASE HELP I need advice!!!

[all_alone1]

I am so proud of myself right now I missed three scheduled doses today. I haven't taken any yet! Don't get me wrong I have some pain in my back and neck but it feels more like the day after you work out. I guess the l-tysorine is helping me mentally because the stress and the depression are gone. I am going to try going all day without anyting but before I do a little advice. Should I since I have been tapering for exactly a week. Will it mess me up? I don't want to ruin my progress. Please help.

Wow it just hit me from one minute to the next. I feel awful. Is it because I am coming up on 24 hours without it? I can't even type that's how bad I feel.

Thanks I am still so happy right now because I still haven't popped that pill. I just block him out which also pisses him off he hates it when I ignore him. But like I said before I don't care right now. It is 8:16 I have another scheduled @ 9. I feel aches but I think I will pass this dose too. Yee Haa for me no hydro today, at least so far but the day is almost over well 2 am for me but I think I am going to make it. :-P

Don't let someone's negativity drag you down! He isn't where you are right now, and him not trusting you can trigger a craving, so pay no attention, stay your course!! Every hour that goes by you are that much closer to havin your old life back! Your in my thoughts..

I thank you but it is mostly you guys in here. I actually fixed my hair and slaped, some make-up on, and changed out of my sweats an T and took the kids to the grocery store. It may sound vain but I felt and looked great(in my opinion 10 years younger than I have been looking lately) I saw a few double takes as I took my time brousing the isles. My husband didn't like it much when I got home and probably would accused me of cheating if it wasn't for the kids with me. But right now I could care less I am still ridding high while I am making dinner (carne asada)and still haven't taken a dose.

I'm so proud of you girl!! You are doing it. Take it one hour at a time. This is what you have been working towards and I think your body, mind and spirit are saying, you can do this!!!

[all_alone1]

Yes it is but I took a small dose of l-tysoline and b-6 and it at least cleared my head. Still feel like I did a major workout but I can deal with the mucle aches. The anxiety and depression, which thank goodnes the L-tyrosine takes care of is my biggest problem. But thankfully I have missed another dose:-)

[all_alone1]

Thank you littlebit667.

[littlebit667]

Sounds like you are ready!  Go for it, hon.  You will be so glad you did.  We will be here when you need us.  I hope it goes well.  I think you are very brave to do it this way.   Happy jumping!!!!!!!!!!!

[all_alone1]

Thank you ImDONENoMore, I am going to do it. And thank you for the encouragement that I can actually do this.

[ImDONENoMore]

I agree with gnarly - time to jump off.  And you're overthinking this - just do it and deal with the symptoms one by one, and day by day.  Remember anticipation is usually worse than the actual event of something you fear.  You can do this and it's TIME.  :)

Thank you Taalian. Good to see you are doing okay and brave enough to go CT. I am going to try starting right now. Thank you all for your encouragement it really mmeans soooooo much to me.

[Taalian]

You can do it!!! I'm starting day 6 off norcos CT and can finally see that things will be okay. It's a rough journey but has to be done to regain our lives! You are making the right choice, just remember one day at a time, hang in there it does get better!

[all_alone1]

Okay I am going to try not taking anymore today and see how it goes. Will I feel real bad tomorrow?

[all_alone1]

Thank you gnarly I really love your comments. I actually am hyped up to see you name. You give me the umph I need after reading you comments. Thanks for that. You are really helping me through this.

time to jump

I took a dose because I am afraid of messing up a good thing. But the dose made me feel awful. I have a headache now and just don't feel all that great. Any advice on what I should do. Should I just go cold turkey? Because my day seemed good until I took that dose.

[gnarly_1]

its ok to test the waters you wont mess up nothing and if it gets to be to much for you you just take a dose and it goes away you may just be ready to handle this remember ....'''you just got to be ok without being ok for a wile''
this to shall pass im all for getting it over with I went threw a miserable 8 1/2 mo taper off 150mg of methadone....and I did it fast but tapering s u c k s
go for the band aid approach rip it off its a bit of pain for a short period of time verse dragging it out im telling you it gets really teff in the lower doses it did for me hang in there keep posting and see how much you can handle you can do this if you put your mind to it this is a battle one or lost in ones own mind good luck and God bless.....Gnarly

[all_alone1]

Thank you. I just am concerned if I go turkey I will mess everything up. And I don't want to start over

As you taper you may feel better but the bad feelings will not stay away unless you continue your taper 7 days is good but be careful.  Hang in there.
