24 hours... probably not jumping off though

[killerzoey]

I haven't felt the need to take anything today. If I've been taking 1.5-2.5 hydros a day (avg 10mg), how soon until I can expect the walls to start melting and to go into full WDs? I may not jump off today, just curious. Thinking of sticking my toe in for a preview, I guess.

Celebrating 17 days Tramadol-free.

Now that I'm not PMSing, I feel a lot better. I wonder how much that affects WDs. That would probably be good to know, yes? Like if a woman heads into WDs when she's heading into PMS, might that create a perfect storm of horror? And I'm not being cliche or trite; I don't mean for those around her, for HER :)

Regarding why I'm not jumping yet--I don't think the timing's very good as I'm heading into a work week where I'll be in the spotlight a lot, and my job is not totally secure. I'm going to see how low I can go though, maybe I'll surprise myself. I believe I'll have to jump off within the next week one way or another, though. I had more than I thought, and I hadn't counted--they're mixed in with vitamins and stuff. I'm glad I had enough to plateau and stabilize off the Tramadol, though. I'll see if I can  make it to the next weekend. That would be ok timing, I think.

Oh--and I found and flushed the Tramadol. Not that I believe I'd ever be tempted, but still.

I'm in same boat and used the same exact excuse last week. But jumped 2 days ago and it's not half as bad as I thought it would be. Legs hurt but nothing I can't handle. Tired but not soo much I can't push through it ....I bought mellatonin to help me sleep.  It helped....but having some crazy a@! dreams. Also One-a-Day Vita Craves (they're gummy vitamins that taste good!) along with B6 in the am. and St. Johns Wort.  Get this stuff and I promise it won't be that bad. I was on a little more than u for over 3-4 years,,,,been so long I can't remember. Good luck and God bless!   JUST DO IT!!!  My new motto!
