So most of you have read the story of ME and know that im on about day 3 of this thing called Cold Turkey and im having a time with it, i wont denie that, but when will it go away?? When will i be able to go to bed and NOT have my legs hurt sooooo bad ???? And when will i wake up and realy want to get out of bed??? I have so many questions that i know nobody can answer but me and i have this feeling of just letting go and getting back on to the TAPPER scheduale, HELP... what in the world did i do to myself.
I started this crap because of reasons beyond my control and it helped me get through the pain of.......HEART SURGERY(last March) and KIDNEY INFECTION(every few months) and KIDNEY STONES( a month ago) and APPENDIX SURGERY( about a week ago) and TAKING OUT MY OVARIE BECAUSE OF A RUPTURED CYST(same time as appendix was taken out. ).
I know you all are saying boo hoo christina..Get up and deal with it
COWGIRL UP ... as my family would say!!! And everytime i suck back the tears, i feel like crying more.
Is this supost to be so emotional??? and if it is, then when will it end??? And for god sakes.....WHEN WILL I FEEL LIKE A HUMAN BEING AGAIN???
I just had to get it out. Thanks for listening and lending me the sholder to cry on thismorning(well, maybe not sholder, but computer!!)
Your Friend, Christina
Hang in there Christina,
AT least you had real reasons to start with this crap. Now you have 3 days behind you, why start over again. You know that eventually you will have no choice but to deal with this, so let it be now, an let it be the last time you ever go through this.
I can relate being 29 hours (whos counting) clean. Physically, it is not the best, but I know that the other option, to keep using, would only make me worse, or dead. And I am also feeling really moody, so it's not just you.
Hang in there. You CAN do this. You already have the hard part behind you. Stay with it.
You have friends and support here.

Friend, you hit the worst of the withdrawaals usually on day 3, then slowly start to feel better. Your body will slowly heal itself, although it may feel like somedays you take a step back, but then another day you take two forward.
Just be patient and one day you'll wake up and after a while realize you weren't even thinking about how you felt or pills.

Thanks JR for comming to my resque thisafternoon.!!!
It just helps to vent thats all.
I would like to say GOOD JOB to you as well. I know only to well how hard that first day is with not taking anything!!!! So WAY TO GO to you!!!
I am gonna stick with it, but i guess in my mind i just keep thinking "is this realy worth it?"
I have been hearing that the hard part is behind me and i for one, think its getting worse. Nothing has gone away...the shakes the twitching the head spinning the eyes hurting and always having to run to the bathroom. Although the bathroom thing is my fault because i keep drinking water like its going out of style!!!
But everyone keeps saying to me.."arnt you feeling better yet?" and my answer has been NO! Exept today...I lied to my family and told them when they asked me that question for the hundeth time..."yes, im feeling alittle better." I only said it to get them to quit asking me!!! I hate always having to explain it to them. I have told them what was going on and they told me that they would help me and that they understood and now they just keep asking about "how im feeling" WHY DOES THIS MAKE ME SO MAD???

friend
what you are doing is not easy.
it takes time. for me the initial withdrawl was bad in the first week
also do you have high bld pressure?
if you do and take meds you need to have someone check this
and adjust your meds maybe
the emotional aspect lasts awhile
i cried alot too
i felt much better but not for about 2 wks
hang in there
just think everyday you don't take them is one day you don't have to repeat.
it's not easy, esp during this time but you can do it.

Yes niblet that was suppose to help you smile alittle.I don't want to stay on to long incase you want to call.I'm worried about you I wish I could just make this go away for you ....mj
I've been reading a lot and I've read somewhere that taking pain pills can actually make pain WORSE. People take it for chronic pain and the pain never gets better.... Patients that descibed pain as being a 3-4 before the meds describe it after being on pain pills as a 8-9..... So hopefully you will be one of those people whose pain will get better once your system is clean.
I've seen my migraines get worse and worse, my kidneys/back area starts hurting, my sinus headaches get real bad.... And I can't help but wonder if taking pain pills puts such a toll on your body that it actually CAUSES a lot of these problems...
You're on Day 3 now and doing great... Don't give up!
