Day 9 clean off opiates

[Krissy_123]

This time last Saturday I was laying on the bathroom rug curled in a ball shaking, crying and wishing I didn't exsist. Today I want to exsist, i want to see what life is like through clear eyes. I want to live, really live!!

Hi Krissy,
that is great to hear!  how many days has it been now since you have been off oxy?  I am just dreading when I am going to get off the hydrocodone.  I know I wont want to live.  Did you quit cold turkey?  I am planning on tapering so I hope it helps!

Congrats on the 9 days!!!  I cant wait to be able to say that!!!  All of these stories help me so much to read and prepare myself!  I am so ready to be off all of this!!!!  So keep posting cause the inspiration it gives is wonderful!!!!  :)

Thank you,even before the pills I still never slept a lot,but 1-2 hrs sure makes the no energy thing hard to fight. ://

[Krissy_123]

congrats on your 9 days! sleep will be tough to come by for a while, get it when you can even if it is a nap during the day.  Eventually you will start to string 4-5 hours together and that will turn in to 6 and then 7 and then a "normal" full 8 hours (who decided that to get 8 hrs is the ideal anyways??).  I'm somewhere around 65 days in and I'm just getting 8 hrs, don't get me wrong I get a night here or there it's only 5 - but it doesn't bother me any more.  I'm still dealing with energy issues but when I force myself to get going I get really going.  I eventually just get sick of laying around and get after it.  Keep your eye on the prize, you're doing great

Oops I meant "no energy"

[Krissy_123]

Oh and still Energy. I think that's the absolute worst...I use to be like the energizer bunny,now I'm very slow moving. I hope that goes away soon.

[Krissy_123]

I still can't sleep and eating is very minimal. The rls have gotten a lot better,but still come on at night. Some depression,but getting outside and playing with the kids helps. We put the Christmas tree up today,that was a happy feeling in my heart. Everyday is getting a little better.

I'm glad you're feeling better, Krissy.   Do you have any w/d symptoms?  You are having a much easier time of it than I did...good fo you!  Keep going..
