Need help

[Jonesin88]

How can I fet off of vicodin. It all started with foot surgery. I think my doctor was a little pill happy. 1000s 5 times a day. No one know but my hubby....there was a time when I went two day without any. I thought I was gonna die...the withdrawals were terrifying . Is there a pill I can take to ease the withdrawl and be done for good. Please help

Well that's normal,we all felt like that,just wanted to be better right away. Unfortunately it doesn't work that way :(( this is where the strength I know you have comes in to play. You can do this,think of the outcome. Plus you don't want to go back right,going back isn't an option. It will get better love,everyday will get a bit better. xox

I am very happy for you, it takes alot of strength and motivation to do what your doing im so happy for you are a strong person ! Stay doing what your doing, stay clean your life will be changing for the better everyday. The energy comes back in time, you will see it takes some time but once its back you will feel 100% better about your self and your family will be so much better off with a clean mom. You are great, a wonderfull person, i wish you all the best !

A week ago today I was in detox....I had a really good mind set. I was so glad I was not using and so excited to move on, however I can't handle not having any energy. Which in turn makes me feel depressed. I know I did the right thing..but now I'm having doubts. I guess I just want it to happen NOW!!!

Unfortunately the energy is the last to come back..Time my new 4 letter word!
You just gotta push your way threw it, I know is stinks but thats what we gotta do to be clean and healthy! Someone once told me fake it til you make it!
keep us posted!

[Krissy_123]

Yay!!!! I'm so so proud of you!!! Way to go!!  Sorry about the meeting,look around for others in your area. Or even go on a different evening. To be totally honest for me it was almost a month before my energy started to return. BUT it did get a little better everyday,plus we are different people. You may get your energy back sooner. Just remember the more you do the faster it will come back....I'm just so proud of you jonesin,I knew you could do this!!! xoxo

[Jonesin88]

I'm doing really good. I have been experiencing the chills and not that much energy. I was at a meeting last night that was completely out of co trol. People talking during some one talking ...they had no respect for the program. I left!! But I haven't had the urge to use....in fact I'm scared to even think of going threw that he'll again. When will I get some energy back?

[Krissy_123]

Hey sweetie,thinking about you a lot latley. I really hope you're doing well still!! Hope you check in soon!! xox

[Krissy_123]

So let's just see how it goes. You're going to meetings now,it will help with the anxiety part. Just keep checking in here. Let us know how you're doing,that's why were all here for each other,for support.

[Jonesin88]

Thanks krissy...I love the meetings. Just a little worried about the subs

[Jonesin88]

Do u think I'll have withdral after the subx is over???

[Krissy_123]

I'm so glad to here about the meetings! What do you think of them? I really enjoy them,did you go to AA OR NA? I do AA. I didn't really like the NA meetings to much around here. So once you're done with these couple subs then youre done with them for good? I'm Very Proud of you! :)

[Jonesin88]

I'm four days without any vicodin....i had 2 8mg subx....I spread them out by quarters. I have one quarter left. Detox was crazy....I didn't have restless legs or anything. Only thing was the first 28 hours I could not get out of bed. I'm hoping that after my last quarter of my soboxen I'll still feel great. Oh and I've been to two meetings since my detox. 2 meetings while in detox.

[Krissy_123]

So you're clean Hun? You haven't taken the Vic's in 3 days? How are you doing? You should start a new post starting off your clean time. I hate missing your comments and I never see this one on my little dinky phone until you're long gone again. Please don't go away,stay close to is on this site. I'm proud of you,so so proud of you!! And yes AA OR NA are a must for you. Even the "shrink" if you don't want to go to a meeting yet. But something for sure.

[qpatty]

How do you feel? You sound much better than you did before you left. I am praying that the worst is over for you and you can move forward now. Keep me posted.

It was a detox center. I was gone for three days. The first 30 hours were hard but they gave me medication. I feel good. Now I start NA meetings. I asked the docs if this was long enough just three days and they said yes...when I left they told me a was fully detoxed and now I need to see a shrink and go to meetings.

[Krissy_123]

I'm really glad to hear this! Are you sure it's not a detox centre though? Rehab is usually a lot longer than 5 days. I'll be here when you get back. And you're always in my prayers!! xox

[BearsFan1966]

Keep us posted when you get back and best of luck to you!

[qpatty]

You will be in my prayers and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

[Jonesin88]

I'm leaving for rehab for fives days right now....talk to yall in five days....pray for me.

[BearsFan1966]

oh wow I see now back to 11 a day. Sorry, I thought 11 days clean. Yes you can do this! Some times when we start thinking bad thoughts we make it worse than it is. No its not easy but after a  few days it does ease up its like having the flu really bad for a few days. Life is so much better, brighter, clearer on the other side of those nasty little pills! You have great support on here reach out and grab qpatty's hand and let her pull you threw this! I will be praying and am here for you also! Just take one minute, one hour, one day at a time!

[qpatty]

I have no experience with suboxon except for what I have witnessed from this site and from what I have seen the stuff is AWFUL to get off of even after a short time. Proceed with caution. In my unprofessional opinion you would be over this sooner if you just stopped what you are taking and went through it once and for all. I am at 35 days today and I can tell you from the bottom of my heart this gets better and easier. My new saying is "control your mind, your body will follow". It is so true. I was so scared for so many years thinking there was no way I could handle going through withdrawal. You know what? It really wasn't as bad as I had made it out to be. A wise person on here told me that you just have to be ok not being ok for a little while. It really is that simple. Withdrawal is worse in your mind than it is in reality. And it will be over so quickly (although those first few days it didn't seem so fast, lol).

Oh Jones you can do this, I know you can. Get off this rollercoaster and enjoy the rest of your life. I will help you any way I can. I will stay up all night with you if that's what you need. There is only 1 way to the other side and that is smack dab through the middle of withdrawal-there is no way to avoid it. Take it from me, who just went through it, it isn't as bad as you are imagining it to be. Do it for you, do it for your kids, do it for your husband-just do it. Don't put yourself through this anymore, please.

She's not at day 11. She's back up to 11 pills a day. I think you should talk to your doctor and decide what's best. I know this has been extremely difficult for you. My personal opinion I wish you could do it on your own. But if you don't think you can then gather as much info on subs as you can. Talk to people on here that have taken and get their stories. I've never taken it,but IMHO it's just trading one addiction for another. Hope you stick around. I've been praying for you!

[BearsFan1966]

I do not know much about it but I do know some have had a really hard time coming off of them! I saw you reaching out for help so I had to respond even though I no nothing about it. You are at day 11? You should be turning a corner any day now. If you have been clean for 11 days I would not go on Sub.I hope someone can give you more insight on this and if you need me PM me!!

[Jonesin88]

Please talk to me..please!!!!
