Today is day 7. I feel pretty darn good. yesterday I was weak. I got out of bed walked a mile and jogged 1/4 mile, 30 reps of bench press and fiddled around on the farm. I hope it gets better. This forum is wonderful. My doctor has been a doctor for 12 years and I know that he is prescribing narcotics to others, but he told me that he has never gone through a withdrawal process before. I got information from this site and shared it with him and he was completely supportive. I have taken ambien at night, without that recovery time It would be to rough. thanks to : My freinds and all.
