Hey get in that pool tomorrow , sending my energy to you to get up and out , like I need to do again tomorrow , trying Reiki tomorrow see if it helps
I tapered on July 10th was on 120mg and next day dropped to 20mg and quarters until 9th Sept and now clean ...........
I walked tonight, it's been forever, geez, am I out of shape! Disgusting!
Dee, I don't think you could have even pushed me to the pool............hahaha
What a freaking waster of summer, it seems like it didn't happen almost! cripes.
Can I ask what you were taking and how much? Just curious! I am praying for sleep tonight.............I slept great last night but I did a drop today, and man, am I feeling it! yuck!
Best of luck and keep posting,

Im on day 4! I was taking a full swing high tolerance, no taper.....I actually have pills sitting in my drawer....and Im trying so hard to flush them but its killing me....
Keep it up! Day 5 for me was ALWAYS the big one...the one where I slept fine, woke up hungry, had a good poo and even though I was a little tired, I still felt GOOD by comparison. Good luck
Thanks for the input , Ya i tapered off them too but off them now sense Monday clean and was
for 3 years runing , active and now blah .
Hope to have that back soon .........Monday was feeling good on my cut back to 2mg now off them feel like **** and brain dead
If i was there with you maybe we both could push each other lol in the pool lol
Keep me posted how your doing too
"what doest not kill us makes us stronger "
Hey, these things, N orco, did the same to me. I am totally a couch potato and 2 years ago I was the healthiest, most energetic person. I walked 5 miles a day, worked out 7 days a week, only drank water, never ate sugar and now I was up to 20 pills a day, sitting inside all summer, ( with a beautiful, gated pool outside my back door)...........what a freakin waste!!!
I am down to only 2 pills so far today. This is day 5 for me. I dropped from 20 to 6-8, then 7 for 2 days, now I am trying for 5 today. Then off by 2 weeks from now.
These things ruin your life, that is for sure.
Keep posting here, hon, it really, really helps!!!
Love to you too,
Karen
I am very depressed and just get up and don't go out
I used to mountain bike and hike and now just feel like staying inside , it is hard to push myself to do any thing fun .
I am doing this on my own and my family is in Ireland , one sister here but she is so active and out the whole time makes me feel bad that I am not an energised as her ...... and so happy too .
She is always on the go and doing some thing and I feel my life has stopped to do this detox
she is hold my meds for me and need to flush them soon . she said she might keep some for her self not that she takes them but if she might have a pain , I said do it but don't tell me about it
I feel moody and fussed off ..... I tapered for 2 months and first month went from 120mg next day to 20mg then dropped from there . now nothing and taught I was over the worst of it
My periods where gone for over a year and then had one but gone again and not sure if PMSing all month (feels like that) or just body is in shock and trying to get back on track again
It is hard when your living alone and know you can just sit in and never needed to be pushed to do stuff before but know need a big push ......... my sister is great but when i am with her these days one a week maybe feel worse about my self .........
anyone feel like there going trough the same and there moods ?
Let me know guys and thanks for all the help on this ........ only for this have no one else to vent with
Love ye all Guys

I am going on day 5 of a massive drop, 20 Norco a day to 7. It has been hell some minutes, and easier the next few hours. I didn't want to do ct on that high dose, but next week is either ct or down to 3.5
Keep at it, I was on day 4 of ct back in Feb and I went right back because it was pure hell. It was waaaay too hard to ct with my dose and so I set myself up to fail. This way is much, much easier for me but I know tapers do NOT work for some.......
Keep posting, that has gotten me through the tough times.

Im on day 4 Im feeling so much better the first 2 days were brutal!!I I slept ok also!!IIm so happy I am gonna be myself again!!! JUst think the worst part is over!! How are you feeling?God bless you all good luck!
i thank God for this forum, it has saved my life! I have almost 2 months off percs, so i can identify with what your feeling. It was wrong for me just to plain stop everything i was on after years of using, but i had no choice, i ran out and moved to a new town and my new doctor wouldnt renew my scripts, but looking back i am greatful to have stopped the rollercoaster ride i was on. Pure hell is the only way i can describe w/d.........also i came clean with my husband and family.........25 percs a day at 5 at a time, and ativan 2x a day just to relax, and of coarse my so called friends were giving my clonozopam and T3's....but i cant even put the blame on anybody but start to take responsibility for my actions...i just wish my brain would recover becauase im having a hard time just trying to remember what i have to do for the day.It's almost like im waking up after being asleep for 10 years.........Im 54 and look 64 and feel just old.......I guess i want to say if your younger and are going through this, please dont wait till you are older and then look back and say where has your life gone...thanks to everyone for being here for people like me...........
I'm on day 5 off of vics (7.5s) and as I sat there eating breakfast this morning (after only about 2 hour sleep not related to no pills) I all of a sudden realized.."hey..I feel pretty good today!" almost forgot what it felt like..Clonidine of course has helped..each day I've felt a bit better..I'm sure I'll be tired later and my mood might change, but I was even making wisecracks here at work a short time ago as a conversation was taking place outside my office..something I haven't done in a while.

I am on day 6, if it helps I already feel so much better. Are you doing this alone?
