and the rollercoster ride begins..

I am startin my withdrawal process tomorrow.  I realized I not capable of tapering.  If they are in the house I will take them.  When I got off  Fentanyl I wanted off so bad that if you had placed them in my hand I would have not taken them but the pills are another matter.

I tried to taper last year and i failed miserably.  So I got rid of my pills and I start tomorrow.  I had such a hard time with the Fentanyl that I am freaking a little bit.  I am not looking forward to what the next few weeks have in store for me.  Please send up some prayers for me and encouragement if you have the time.

I know this may not seem like realllyyy helpful advice but i know it helped me. When i was tapering off suboxone i was TERRIFIED of withdrawal symptoms after i had one MAJOR bad day of vomiting, the sh!ts...horrible body aches...and migraines.

But alas i kept on tapering and changed the way i thought about it. I stopped worrying if and when the withdrawals would come...i focused on my goal. The end result. You wouldn't believe how much positive thinking comes into it. You can do ANYTHING in the world if you put your mind to it.

Goodluck :)

So, I am at the tail end of day 1 and essentially could not get out of bed except to use the restroom.  Holy crap,  I am in a world of hurt.  Thank God i did not keep the other pills or I would have surely used them today.  I have no contacts since all my meds were supervised by my doctor (ha ha, supervised addiction right).  Need to use the bathroom again so I will see if I can get my sick butt up later to update.  Cripes, how the hell did I get here!  Jeez, how stupid can I get.

There's a difference in stupid and sick!!!  And you're not stupid ok?  

Take some immodium and a warm bath if you can. Be sure and force the fluids and eat something bland.  

Keep telling yourself that you can do this!  It won't be long and you will be feeling much better. Then you can figure out how to make this the LAST time!!! ;-)

Keep us posted!
