Hello everyone.
I just spent the past 10 minutes reading all of the posts from last night.
Sorry I never came back, but I fell asleep really early. I guess that was because I had 3 1/2 hours of sleep the night before last, when I went to the 10:30pm NA meeting.
Anyway, this is day 10, and I am feeling pretty good. Still no sex drive, but the aches and pains are pretty much gone!!! The energy level is still low, but I am more able now to force myself to do things... like work! lol
My house still isn't clean, and the Christmas dec's are in boxes in the living room. So maybe I will work on that tonight. It is just so hard in the evenings, all I can do is sit on the couch. I wonder when that will go away.
I remember (barley) before the pills, I would clean my entier house in one night. Wow, I wish I could do that again.
I am at home now, for lunch. Being in medical marketing, the doc's offices are usually closed for lunch, so it is pointless to try until after 1:30pm.
I hope all is going well for everyone else.
Thank you for all of your support.
And I did not go to the NA meeting last night. I was way too tired to pull another all-nighter.

Hi Britney. Fatigue is a part of it, and unfortunately that will hang around for a while.
I am so proud of you!! You made it through the worst.
The sex drive will come back, don't worry. Sex will also help your brain heal; I read that on the internet...lol...Sex is therapy, I keep convincing myself...LOL...
Be kind to yourself, and very very proud of yourself.

I have a question:
I have a Rx for 30; 7.5 vics. (vicoprofen), that the doc caught on to my always wanting a refill. She put a note on the Rx that I can only fill it once every 60days. It has 3 refills left. Now I don't want her to know that I have a problem. I use to work for her (in fact that is how I got introduced to my 7.5's), and I don't want her to know that I have this problem
I can probably call the pharmacy and have them take the Rx off, but I can't get myself to do it. Why not????
I am just afraid that I will stay clean, but then when it comes time to get the refill, I will get it.
But I really can't get myself to call the pharmacy.

Britney....I am on day 27....I am in the same boat. My house is a disasster and it took everything to put up the christmas stuff. If it weren't for the kids I probably wouldn't have decorated. I am also on the couch every night....I am like totally lazy. It is so gross.....I am wondering when it goes away. I am on Lexapro and have been for months, but I'm probably depressed. I miss my little vic friends. The evil little friends. I guess we are in the same boat, huh?
OK, I know the answer to this but I am going to ask it anyway. Any thoughts on taking a diet pill to get going just to get a little accomplished for Chritmas? I am sooo tired and my house is a wreck, decorations are still in basement, nothing wrapped, nothing done. I could just use some help, and not from the hydros.
I hate the way diet pills make me feel....all jittery. I used to take them and get tons done. Now they just make me all spacey.................I just want my old energy back.
I know , I hate that feeling also, but at this point I am desperate. We'll see what next week brings. After all, it is on December 2, right? Why the he** does everyone have to start so early?LOL!
It is only December 2. Everyone has to totally freak out about Christmas. I love it, but it is becoming out of control. My kids are spoiled and don't need new toys. I did decorate the house and did manage to take the empty boxes back out in the garage after 5 days. If I could manage to get the clothes out of the dryer it would be great
Tridelmom, I know this might sound dtupid, but, i have used a over the counter pill called VIVERIN. One pill is like dinking a cup of coffee . I hate coffee and when i needed to wake up it helped alot.

LMAO Kat you really aren't as bad as you think I have been decorating since last Friday.......may be done by Monday......the boxes are still all over the house crying to be put away....The house is clean under the mess and I am telling you if there are white clothes in the dryer they are staying there cause I hate to fold them.......Well off to do some more ironing.....been putting that off too..........

VIVERIN is like pure caffine, hence the speed buzz

Thanks john d!!!!!
I love the smiley's.
As far as the diet pills, I have taken phentremine a few times in my life. I know they say it is very addicting, but it's funny that the only thing I am addicted to, is the stuff that makes me feel soooooo good. The diet pills gave me energy, and made me lose a lot of lbs, but I hated the insomnia. It didn't matter how much of it I took (1/2 or 1 - never more) I could not sleep.
So I think with the insomnia that is from withdrawls, it would just make things worse to take such a strong diet pill. All the over the counter pills never helped me.
Now that I think about it, the doc that first turned me onto vic's (it was for my menstral cramps. lol) was also the doctor who gave me phentremine. I am 5'7, and unless I was pregnant, I never weighed more than 135 lbs. So why the heck did she give me that???? Just something I thought of.

Britney congrats on your cleans days we are all proud of you . I remember many years ago I had several refills of 120 10 mg ativan and decided to go to the drugstore to have them removed , of course the pharmasist was busy and I could see his class 2 drawer was open , I had to wait 15 minutes or so I got all anxcious and my body started to hurt and I wanted to just refill it on the spot . but I held it together and asked him to delete them , he said He was glad I decided to do that. But what is amazing is that when I saw that class 2 drawer open the reaction in either my mind or body started producing pain from nowhere i was fine before going in. it shows how deep addiction is Ray
I lost a ton of weight on phentermine too. But, gained it all back. Since I have been clean from Norco, I have gained about 10 lbs. I feel gross. OHMYG...my house is still totally dirty. Why it is bugging me so bad, I don't know. I guess because my mother has packrat syndrome and her house is disgusting. I don't want to turn out like that. How are you doing today?
Dear Britany I come here everyday and read your post.I have since your day one.I know I say it all the time but I am so proud of you.I don't even know you but when I read just how far you've come and how hard you work to keep yourself on the right track I feel pride in you.I know it sounds so crazy but reading your days sometimes gives me that boot in the a-- to help me from over doing my goal for now.I just wanted to say...WOW Keep it up you are a inspiration To all the new commers....mollyjean
Britney, I would delete it if I were you. I went 28 days in treatment, but never came clean with my pill dr. I had that option open, but it took me out. The second time, I had to come clean.
Otherwise, all of this will have been in vain. There are so many days, (the next morning, of course) that I wake up greatful that I had done that. This disease is so powerful.
I am in so much pain these days, but I know that I don't even want to go back there.
Way to go on the 10 days...

Hey guys, I've lost 70 pounds since March..but I don't recommend the diet I am on....And I wasn't heavy to begin with..I haven't weighed this much since I was 19..
Danny...how'd you lose 70 lbs.???? That's great ...I mean if you wanted to lose it. Is it because of withdrawals? You haven't gone c/t yet have you? Let me know what you are up to. I wish I could lose 20 lbs. I have GAINED weight during all of this hell.
What diet are you on Danny?? I need to lose about 10-20 lbs to be in my old size 3's again. Let me know... Rae
