Well done toothfairy....Im not sure what you r w/d from??? But if its codeine, it could peak at day 5. It all depends on how much and how long ?? take care and just take it easy....soon you will wake up feeling normal again!! xoxo

Busy! : )  I had to do snacks for children's church this morning.  Went to eat after with the family...mom, dad, hubby and kids.  Had a baby shower to go to almost straight from that.  Four year old didn't fare well there, having had no nap. It was a disaster.  She got two spankings outside and a few stern words and finally straightened up! LOL Yes, I spank.  I don't beat....but I swat!

You're doing great, honestly.  Some people in your shoes (me) are going berserk at this point.  You sound pretty good.  I know parts of your day seem depressing, but you're doing what you have to do to get past it.  That's what matters.  And you got out today.  That's BIGTIME!  I know it probably took everything you had in you, but you did it.  Tomorrow, get out again.  No matter how bad you feel.  Or do some stuff around the house, at least.  

Keep drinking fluids and taking hot baths, even if you nod off! :)  You won't drown!  As alert as we basically are when we WD, I think some water in your nose would bring you back to consciousness! LOL

Remember, if you have symptoms, ask for specific advice.  We all have ideas as to things that work good for each thing.  Well, maybe not insomnia.  I have no clue what OTC med would help that besides a dose of Nyquil.  And even that isn't gonna help much!  That part just stinks!

I'm proud of you! : D

Hi TF ,  Thanks for asking , i am doing pretty good for a old guy . My day #60 is so much better then i could have hoped for . Feel good most of the time , sleep every night , energy comeing back . Enjoy my days free of pills , don't really think about them anymore .
Funny i spent 2 month in total  panic over fear of the W/D if i tried to quit .
That 2 months was worse then this last 2 months ..... .Ron

Hey there! You're still alive!!!!! Yaaaaaaaay! I've been out all day, but came on here on my phone to check on you. Day 4 will likely be the day you turn a corner. I didn't find it as bad as day 3. The first 3 days its hard to say which is worse. They all stunk equally for me!  Seriously they were exactly the same. Day 3 I was probably starting to add some frustration and exhaustion to it, and I just generally got sick and tired of it. But it won't be any worse, physically, than today. (In my opinion! And as its been said, everyone is different.) In my experience, and I had lots and lots of experiences, day 3 was not worse than 2!

I'm so happy you're hanging on! Way to go!
