Hey there guys. You all know that I still take the medication when I'm in a spot where I can't take the pain. Turns out that I wasn't in pain for 2 days in a row. So - I obviously didn't take anything. NOW - I'm in full blown WD's at work. Didn't bring anything with me, cuz I'm not "hurting". But - I am losing my Damn mind! Sweaty and shaky and I honestly feel like I'm losing my sanity right now. I haven't slept....was LITERALLY up all night......I guess I just need some kindness or support....
sibe,
try drinking a cold glass of orange juice or cold water, and just relax and breath. but if you can find some juice or something that will help. dont drink caffiene, try natural sugar is ok, but try not to drink regular sugar.

I'm sorry that your day is not good. I wish you could go home but like Terri said - water is wonderful. When I worked at my old job, when e'one starting drinking water, I switched that usual afternoon coffee to a bottle of wat - I would just about kill it and then fill it back up with the water fountain. I kept a bottle, still do with me at all times.
It gives me a boost that I can't explain.
Hope you feel better. Be careful if your'e sleepy.I have fallen asleep recently driving after being up all night so I had to stop driving if I get no sleep. I woke up before it got bad and got back on the road.
Love, Jean

Hey Sib
sorry you don't feel well, how much medication do you have to take & how often? I wouldn't have thought that just pain management would do this to you, I have always thought it would screw you up if you were abusing,
show's how much I know right? I think Terrianne had the best advice.........but remember to breath!! & jean is right....Water, lots of water!
Hope it's over soon!!
Love Dottie
Hey Jean
how are you? My internet service is running so slow I have not been on much, It's too aggravating........gotta get my brother in law to clean out what ever is slowing it down

I am supposed to take 3-4 percs 10's a day, but I haven't been keeping to that regimine....I've been trying to take less. But - only IF I have the pain. When I don't, it's a good thing. I haven't gone past 2 days before without the pain kicking in, so I haven't hit full blown w/d's till now. BLEH.
I will join you in your misery. I too am sitting at work "going crazy" with this terrible "feeling" that you can't describe. I am tapering off of Vicodin and am down to one pill a day for the last 2 days. I feel for you. You should probably try to stop taking them. I have been on these for about 4 years. Sooner or later you have to stop. These pills will eventually kill you. I feel for for you. I know exactly how you are feeling today.
I use to find that taking Sudafed sortof "sped up" my system and I was not dragging so much when weaning off. They are not good for anyone with high blood pressure though. Dont know if it was psychosymatic or what but they seemed to help me not feel so wishy.
Hey Sibe I wish I could help.Can you leave work?Maybe you should keep 1/2 a pill with you for times like this.This is what makes it so damn hard for us who have legit pain.If we have a couple good days our stupid bodies still will crave.I hope you feel better soon....mj
Dear Sibe,
How long were you taking the percs before you stopped? The shorter the better....Keep drinking to clean out you body and I believe in deep breathing fresh air..This will be over before you know it oh and try 600mg of advil couldnt hurt! My thoughts are with you....shel

You may already know this but there is a thing called rebound pain. When your body has been use to getting this med so much, you will feel pain and it is your body craving the pain meds. My advice would be to completely detox off this med and see if your pain is still there. There are other pain management options that are non-narcotic. I feel for you. Withdrawels suck. I could not do it alone. I had to go to a detox clinic for 5 days. Good Luck.
If you abused them in the past, your body gets used to that. It is like Tim's post about the gates. It is tricky for us because your body got used to alot before, and now it wants to be fed.
A counselor in TX told me that if I were to take 1 vicoden, I would have 24 hours of withdrawl. I am not a MD, but now I can understand what he meant, and this is probably what is happening to you.
I am sending out hugs ((((((((HHHHHHUUGGGGGGSSSSSSSSS)))))))))
and know that we are all here...you can make it through the day...
