hi everyone i am new to this board have been posting on another one for some time but everyone has left so i need to find a new one. i have read some threads and i have so much in common with so many of you. a little over a year ago i had back surgery for a herniated disk was on percocets started at 4 a day then went up to 6 for the past 5 months. i know this may not seem like a lot but i am truley addicted. quit ct 3 weeks ago got my script filled and took again until friday night at 9 took my last one. i have not felt good very weak depressed and tired. been taking advil and b-12. also calcium works wonders for leg pain expecially taken at night. feel a little better today but still depressed and have a lot of anxiety. i am prone to anxiety anyway for years and the one thing i found is when i was taking percocets i did not have any. i think that and the energy boost is what will be missed the most. well hope to get some replies i won't ramble anymore. please take care

Hey CFM! Good to see you again.
I dont know if I can add anything but to tell you it will start getting better each day.Try and not be too harsh on yourself for relapsing.This disease is insidious and relapse is a fairly common element.The only mistake you can make is to quit trying.
During this period of time, drink lots of water.
Peeing is good.Sweating is good.Its not pretty but its good.
You will get this.You keep trying and keep me posted on your progress.
Later,Tim

cmf,
I'm thinking of you. Congratulations for making the commitment to reclaiming your life. I'm doing the same thing. I've been on sub for 3 weeks and I'm finally beginning to remember who I am. Know what I mean? I've just started working out again and you may want to try it as well. It'll take your mind off things for a while and pretty soon you'll be looking better than ever!! You can do this. Keep repeating that mantra!!
