You do have an evil being on your shoulder love,we all do!! It's called addiction. I wonder if it's the gab that's making you feel funny in the head with the eye problems? I'm going to look it up because I know ppl here have taken it and had some side effects. Make sure you have a hot bath with Epsom salts before bed. It will help the rls,also wrap your legs in a warm blankets or a warm been bag or hot water bottle. Also helps rls.
Hi my mom just left. She's the best. Sleep I take trazadone. Been on that for years. Although I did wake up last night at two then five and couldn't go back to sleep. Had that yucky skin crawling feeling and my legs started to get restless. I think I'm in for it tonight tho. I'm trying to keep it off my mind but I feel like I'm in a fun house. Everything I look at seems to be distortated and its leading to anxiety. I have diagnosed panic disorder so I kinda know how to breath through it. But it's getting hard. I am prescribed Ativan but where I've been weaning all month I blew through them like a dumb dumb. Can't get a refill til next week. My doc has also given me gabapentin and that helps a bit. But I take more than prescribed. I just can't have pills near me! I seem to have a side of my brain that talks me I to things. I'm wondering if I have an evil being on my shoulder sometimes. Thank you for posting to me. I did post two new questions if you happen to see them as well.
How are you doing with sleep and rls? Anxiety deppresion?
It's easier for ppl to identify you if you keep the same post,but I see you've been trying to post since the 20th with no response. so just give a quick rundown in your new post if you start one. Yes,it is hard work,but so worth it! Imodium is a good thing to have on hand. Drink lots of fluids though. You don't want to dehydrate
Oh and I thought I read somewhere about only keeping one thread??
Thank you. I thought there was something wrong with my vision. My mom is bringing me emergenc and Imodium. I'm clearly into wds now. Years of opiates to clear my system of. I know it'll be a long hard battle but thanks to all the positive energy on here I know I can do this. Ty!
and let him talk to my doctor, who explained that opiate withdrawal really *****! My doctor suggested a few things to help with symptoms. An amino acid called L-tyrosine, which is found in bananas, meat, cheese, etc. or buy at a health food store and it's what your body needs to make the "feel good" chemicals. If I could only afford one thing, it would be the L-tyrosine! I can tell a difference when I take it, then go running. Also, excercise boosts your brain to make those feel good chemicals that your body has forgotten to make because the opiate did it's job. Multivitamin, anything with potassium, magnesium, iron and zinc help with restless legs.
I will say, comparing my experience from coming off of stuff on the streets and coming off of a good taper, a lot of the symptoms are in my head! I psych myself out so much fearing the symptoms, but when I calm down, live in the moment, I realize I really don't feel as bad as I thought. My sponsor has always told me "Sometimes instead of taking one day at a time, you really have to take it one minute at a time", and when detoxing, I try to remember that. Anyone can do anything for just one minute! Keep it up, you can do this! You dropped down way lower than I did before making the jump, so I imagine you'll do just fine ;) Praying for ya, you will look back and it will all be worth it!
Here's where I get my l-tyrosine, since I saw you asked where to get some supplements. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DR28E74/ref=sr_ph?ie=UTF8&qid=1442685153&sr=1&keywords=l-tyrosine
