thank you so much for what you said to me. it made me feel so much better about my self. I will keep tapering and tapering until i do this.

is there anything i can do so i feel better in the morning, that is my hardest time...no energy, and so hard for me get moving. if i could only wake up feeling better I wouldn,t be so apt to reach for the pills

any advice thank you
navha I wish I had some words to help but mornings are the hard time for me also.All I can say is try to stay strong & keep on posting.Sometimes just talking with people who can understand can help.....mj oops ps I think you are very brave for tapering & my prayers will go out to you
molly jean how did you do this
Navha.........I think mornings are the worst for all of us. I used to think about my pills the second my eyes opened. I would jump up and swallow a couple and sit until they kicked in. Then I was off and running! Sometimes, I still have that split-second thought when I wake up, before reality hits me and I remember "I don't do that anymore......gotta make it on my own today".

It gets easier, I promise. Now I get up and pop a B50 vitamin!

Hang in there!
thanks trideitmom, at least I am learning what to expect, i did go out and buy b-12 vitamins, i sure hope they help with energy, thats my biggest problem right now.
thanks for caring
Navha,

Buy some LIQUID (sub-lingual) vitamin B-12. It works faster, becasue it is absorbed right under the tongue. Someone here recommended that for energy (JohnDee, thanks) so I finally bought some and I think it did help some. In the beginning, thats just one of the things that you have to deal with. The "being tired" and feeling exhausted all the time.

Like everything else, it takes time to get your natural energy back. Just hang in there, hon. Maybe some exercise would help too. Keep up the great work.

Love,
Marie
Navha,
Sorry I did not see your post til just now. Was gone all day. I'm glad if I was able to help you a little bit, and the mornings were the worst for me as well. I'm not sure if its the day looming ahead of us with this monkey on our backs or what. When I quit cold turkey (and relapsed 3 weeks later) I would take a womens vitamin and melantonin for sleep. I don't know if this really helped or not but it felt good to take a pill, which how messed up is that? Some habits die hard, kinda like a sugar pill thing ya'know?
Today is day 2 for me on the sub and I have no cravings at all and am totally functionable. One day at a time.
Good luck and let me know how you're doing.
