tomas recipe question

[Ronnie152]

Hi, I have been taking vicodin for idk 3 or 4 years now, i have detoxed for 1 month before was --ll! I am up to 10 to 12 pills a day and i have 1 left, I ran out, I know I need to quit and I want to. I can't remember what life is like living without them. I am already afraid! I am already starting to feel the WD and thinking how I can get some more right now. I hate this. I am married with 3 big kids, husband thought I quit, I am sure he knows. I am going to try to play it off like I have the flu for the next 4 days, hoping he will think that.  I can hide it mostly in the day time, it is at night when I can't. My legs wont stop moving, I feel like rocking back and forth, itching ect. so I know what I am going up against I just don't want to. Anyways I wanted to try the Tomas recipe, I don't have alot of money so I can't get everything I wanted to know if I got the L-Tyrosine and the B6, if that would be alright? I dont even want tomorrow or even tonight to come. Well I am hoping someone could help me out. TY Ronnie

hello ronnie i also ran out pills, 6 days ago...well i came on here and everyone helped me decide to quit and now im 6 days sober my legs are still aching but i feel alive again, its great...you can definately say you have the flu and take a week off from work or whatever you have to do...be strong and every person on this board is here for you during the hard times, i wouldnt have made this far without them at day 4 i almost gave up but they held me in check...now im almost a week in and starting to feel better again.

about the l-tyrosine and b6 id wait till about 4 days into withdrawls to start taking it because with the anxiety you might have from withdrawals it might not be the best day...definately take a multi vitamin & multi mineral from day one till as long as you can you body needs vitamins and minerals, you need to be very healthy during this time, please send me a message if you have any questions about nutrition or supplements as i am trained in this field.  drink alooot of water and like in the thomas recipe alooot of hot baths and like my girl kelly said as soon as you can get up to excercise, do it, its a life saver...please feel free to ask me any questions or concerns you have...

we are all here for you and we are in this together!

Thank you SmartYetStubid, this is the first time I ever joined a help form. It felt good talking about it. I have talked to my husband about it in the past. He tries to understand but please he dont even smoke. LOL I took just now 1- B6 1-mulit & 2-L-Tyrosine so it will be in my system tomorrow my first day without! I have one left for tonight to help me sleep. I can't tell you how time is going so slow because I know I have it and want it now! I am not by far a pot smoker but I am thinking about smoking a bowl after a hot bath my first to nights to help me sleep. I don't care for it but it does make me tired so I was wondering if any one else has tried that? I will keep posting as the days go by ( fast I hope! )

Honey, it's okay... you are going to be okay and you are not going to die.  Miserable, yes... but ultimately you will feel better.  I am on day 7 of detox and I feel awesome!  Well, I kinda over did it on the L-Tyrosine and have the heebie jeebies, but that will go away.  If you can pull off a week of the flu (which is about the average time the flu lasts) then do that.

For the RLS, I take Alieve and 5000 mgs of Magnesium at night. Also, it will take an act of God, but EXERCISE!  Get those legs MOVING!  The more the better.  Take long walks, do squats, use a treadmill if you have one and take long hot baths.

I'm here if you need me, and you can do this.  If I can, anyone can.
