I am 4 weeks free of oxycotin today, and I'm taking 12mg of suboxone daily. I have been feeling great. The last few days I have been getting dizzy and extremely tired around this time of day. Tired like my body just crashes. I zone out and want to sleep. I seem to snap out of it after a little while. Today I am very sad and a little anxious. I want to curl up and sleep. My husband will be home soon and probably expecting dinner. We have nothing in the house that is easy to prepare and I have no appetite. The kitchen needs cleaned. I am not motivated. My dog is wanting to go out and I don't even want to get up to open the door. I feel like I might cry. I don't know what is wrong or how to fix it. This sucks. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Atlas
Dude, I am go going thru the same thing. Almost the same time frame as well... I dont have any advice for you as I"m trying to make it thru another 24 hours myself.... I"m with you in spirit my brother ;)

I was reading your post while you were posting to me. I was thinking that if I still took pills today would be the time for them. Your husband sounds so nice. I wish mine would do those things. I don't know what's going on with us but I hope it goes away soon. On top of it, I forgot to pick up cigs. on the way home (a habit I picked up again while I was using and today is not the day to quit) and now it is snowing for the first time this year and my car is rear wheel drive and I live on a hill. Guess I'll have to take my hubby's car when he gets home. I can't offer any advice to you either because I don't know WTF in goin' on. I hope you feel better soon. Take care, Atlas
I assumed you were a man, I have no idea why... My apoligies :) I do have a great husband. He has had no experience with addicts so he is learning as we go. If I didnt have him, I would not be successfull.. Right now he is trying to convince me to go to the dog park with him. I dont want to go anywhere but it might help me to feel better. I have no idea!!

Jeff, I'm fighting it. I'm not tempted to use or craving and have no way to get pills anyway. I let the dog out, but walking him is out of the question. He out weighs me by 30 lbs and it is SNOWING. Do things start creeping up on you after you've been on sub for awhile? Everything was la la la until this. The dizziness is actually starting to go away now. Thanks for posting. Atlas
That's okay Kelly. I used to have a picture of a girl on my avatar, but I've gotten to know alot of people here now so I got more creative. Atlas
PS Is there some kind of symbol used on the internet to indicate girl 0-<l???

if there is such a symbol I dont know it!! I feel a little better. I begged out of going to the dog park.. My hubby hit the nail on the head I think. He cups my face in his hands and says, your upset because bad things used to happen to you on the holidays. ( I like many other addicts ran into some not so nice adults as a child ) He says, this holiday its just us ( because I declined to spend it with my family knowing they were a trigger for me. So this year its just us and one of our kids ) so you dont have to be afraid of memories. You dont have to feel alone and scared and upset. I'm here for you, you have me now and you know I'll always protect you. Which is true actually. Its not only that he is 6'6 ish and weighs close to 300 lbs, he makes me feel safe and cocooned in love. Which is what I SOOOO needed right about then. Its not easy to make me feel protected. I'm 6'1 and weigh close to 240 with a size 13 shoe. My size works for me in my job but not much else. But he did manage to make me breathe a little easier. He said, whatever happens with you the next couple of days, share it with me. Let me shoulder some of your burden. Let me pick you up and help you thru the next few days... I dont know what I did to deserve this man, I havent done much good in my life, but whatever it is, that and my boys are what I'm most thankful for this year.

Dear Atlas What is happening is probaly normal.When I first started the first couple weeks I would feel....I guess "off" would be the best way to put it.When i felt like that Id lay down for about1/2 an hr & it seem to get alot better.Also until my body got use to the whole sub thing I would take B12 tablets.It helped have alittle more energy.
The depression well I cant really say because I have depression.I probaly always had it & self medicated.But I agree forcing yourself to move about can help.I hope you feel better soon.....mj

Good morning everyone. Thanks for your support. I feel 100% better. My dog has been allowed to pee upon request. lol I think my problem is that I have a few unfinished and overdue projects. I am going to just spend the day working on one of them until it is done, then tackle the next. Thank you all for your kind words. Atlas
Glad your feeling better--enjoy your day.

I never took oxycotin but I was on morphine for a long time and I know the wd from that can be awful, however I do know it does end. No longer do I have to live in a tub of hot water so my muscles do not ache, now I can even wear a shirt without it being painful.
If you want to cry, go ahead and do so. Recovery is not easy, as I am sure you can attest to, but remember you are better off and once your through this your done with that portion of your recovery.
Hopefully the example of others on this message board proves it can be done. I truly believe that when we use our Higher Power there is nothing we can not overcome.
God bless.
