Day 9 cold turkey

[Hellbound304]

I am on day 9 being clean. I was snorting 3-5 pain pills a day for the last 3 years. This is my first shot at detox and I am very proud of what I've done so far. My question is this... What can I do to get energy back?  The only symptoms I am still going through are occasional diarrhea, kidney pain, rls and absolute zero energy. I can handle the others but having no energy is killing my detox plan. So far I've been able to stay busy and keep my mind off of things but now I'm completely drained and laying around the house. This is making me crazy. Any suggestions on how I can get the energy to get up?

I am on 5 days on being clean from vics (taking 2 a day and snorting 1)... I am feeling fine now - but the first few days i was So tired - with the advice of someone on here I went for a walk yesterday and i felt really great afterwards... I did not want ot do it - but forced myself.... the energry will be back soon

I would sleep as much of it off as possible... in a few days things will start to get better... try taking a relaxing bath... good luck... keep up the good work.

Congrats on 9 days!!!  Get up and move around as much as you can.  Gotta get those natural endorphins working again.  B-6 and B-12 help too.  Are you doing anything with recovery care?              sara

Congrats on 9 days.. only we can REALLY appreciate how long that is. Energy...Have you tried B12? Also those little 5hr energy shots really seemed to help me early on. They get a little expensive, but they really seemed to help. I still drink them occasionally. exercise also...even if its just a little walk after breakfast. Good luck and keep it up. Your energy will slowly return.
