30 DAYS = NO METHADONE

[t_nuh_had_nuf]

Today is 30 days for me. Stopped a 5 yr methadone habit of up to 100mgs a day.Prior to that it was any opiate I could get my hands on for almost 6 yrs. 11 years WASTED- Sleep has come back the last couple of days-slept almost 8hrs only taking sleepy time tea. Still sneezing. Energy comes and goes but if I would exercise it would be better. Been taking whey protein shakes since day 2. Appetite still not there yet. Lost Almost 20lbs in 30 days. Still have sporatic Restless ARM syndrome?(legs are better).Noticing some mental confusion at times but it goes away.Anxiety is not a real problem anymore. I don't NEED  hot soaks anymore but they do feel good. I had an"assessment" for an Addiction specialist last week. they are supposed to call when they have an appt available.
Thanks to all who have helped on this site. I really can't say that enough...TEENA
