Hi Mooneyb1. Thanks for the support. I hope you're doing well, or at least better than I did at day 6. let me know how you're doing. Prayers
Hello, Dizzy73. I am starting day 4 today and I very much relate to your remark about a 6-day panic attack. I'm dealing with this also and wanted to encourage you. We can do this. I don't want to come off as minimizing what your going through. I found distraction really helps with the panic. Some were advising me to watch a funny movie or a something lighthearted. I thought it sounded too simple to work, but it actually helped. My prayers to you during this time. -Bonnie-
The energy will come back, I can't seem to do as much as I used to taking the pills but I know in my heart the pills cause fake energy. At day 18 for me (17 wasn't good, had moved back to home state so I was extremely tired) because I was exhausted in mind and body due to the move.
I got "real" sleep last night and I feel 90% normal again.
You got this, God has this, I'm praying for you and everyone else here going through what we are.

The energy will come and go dizzy, I'm on day 13 and although it hasn't been all bad. The first few was the worse then the past 2 days have been bad and very drained but forcing myself to work BC only my wife knows my situation. It can be done and I will do it is what I tell myself at work. Its gonna get better just stay strong and focused on your well being . prayers Sean
Well today marks the end of a very long week!! Day 7 is almost gone. I don't feel great but I do feel better than I did yesterday! This is the first time all week that I could tell there was a difference! I'm scared to ask but when does your energy come back? Thank you everyone for your support and comments!! It helped immensely!! Thanks to all of your encouragement, I'm going to try and go to a meeting tomorrow!
Hylands Restful legs... It's Homeopathic and it worked wonders for me!!! Not sure what it is, but you have to get the Hylands.. The knock off Brand just doesn't work!
Give it a try! I don't know what I would have done without it
Honey,
I remember writing on day 7 "when is this going to get better??" I was totally freaking out. But it did get better, and you will too.
Good suggestions here; just take this a day at a time. You'll be feeling much better by this time next week, I promise.
Eat bananas, take magnesium/ potassium supplements,
hot epsom salt baths. Drink protein shakes, Gatorade.
Rebound pain is normal. It will ease up.
Wrap your legs in warm towels, heating pads,.
Walking around also helps.
Sending prayers,
Debbie
I'm coming to a close on my 6th night. It's still really hard!! I just need the physical stuff to pass. Besides the skin crawling, my legs hurt so bad!! And that pain in my legs has only gotten worse. I'm drinking lots of water. Any suggestions to help that?
Post as often as you need to! We are all here for you!!
Not too much to add to what others above said... But you will be normal again I promise!! Too far gone== death and your not there, your here, posting for help!!
Sometimes it just takes a little longer for others!
Hang in there!
I am pulling for you!! Congrats on 6 days!!
Hi there Hun....I just wrote some long comments on your Day 5 post...just thought I'd let you know in case you didn't check that yet :)
congrats on 6 days opiate free.
no you are not too far gone.
yes you will feel normal again.
keep the faith.
you have to be patient with the process.
time, time and more time.
after years of use, you cant expect to feel "normal" in 6 days.
keep moving forward.
hydrate, clean eating, move around as much as possible, get some
sunshine, vitamins, time, time and more time.
your body needs to starting producing its own natural chemicals again.
be encouraged,
congrats on days.
Aww sweetie, your right where you need to be. I know it's disappointing when you don't feel better in 5 days. Some detoxes take longer, you should be feeling some what better. What are you struggling with ? Is it physical, tummy issues or depression and mental?
You are so worth it. Please keep up the fight. You've came thru the worst of it.
