Dodged a bullet?

[Anything0228]

I'm three and a half day without a hydro. The first two I was agitated and bathroom problems. This morning I had some nausea but took and epsom salt bath and an immodium and went shopping from 10-1.   I just came home because I wanted to rest before my sons football this evening.
Have I been through any physical or will it happen later? I had tapered down to 5 mg a day and a couple of days just biting off of that.
I miss the energy burst and feel like I'm looking for something I'm supposed to do to feel differently. That's when I grabbed a pill I guess.

Has anyone gone three days ok and then had bad physical stuff start?

The thought did come in my head that maybe I'm just not an addict but because I know I was taking a drug that I don't need was enough to convince me that I am and to never use narcotics again.
It will never be worth the fear of the what ifs.....

I sounds like you did dodge a bullet if you are not have bad w/d feelings after three days I doubt you will feel any worse then you do right now. Again w/d depends on how much and long you have been abusing. For me it took about a week before I felt human again but I was taking very high doses of oxy over serveral years. Good luck and keep on going.

Hi, Well the only way you are going to heal and Balance back is not to touch any Mind altering drugs. Your Neurotransmitter need time to balance back. As the brain heals the body will follow. This just does not happen over night. The worst of the physically w/ds will go away sooner but you might experience some mental and even some small body pain issues now and then. I just talked to my Dr yesterday about this and I have 11 months going on. I came off 3 bad drugs and I am no young chic. He called it "Somatic Syndrome" which means the brain is still healing and it will make the body still experience unusual things. He said not to put Any Drugs that mess up the transmitters in my body. So like I always say, take it as it comes and that Time is the Greatest Healer of it all. Just bite your tongue and ride it out. It does get better.
Bless

Yep sounds like you dodged a bullet! The first 24-48 hrs were the worst for me the last (and only other time) I quite taking pills. I jumped from about 100mg of Percocet and tapered for one days down to 20mg and then jumped on Wednesday at 3pm. Now I'm 49 1/2 hrs in and looking forward to tomorrow being much better, physically. Now be careful. Since you didn't experience any bad withdrawals this time around it my make your mind play tricks on you and say "hey, you can go ahead and take a pill, or two, remember the withdrawals were such a breeze?" Just know that you got very lucky for I know that for me, personally, going through the withdrawals will keep me from even wanting to look at another pill. Good job with your clean time and you're doing great!

I have had the RLS a little at night but have taken the Hylands and last night I slept with that bar of soap and really slept through the night.
I did just find out that I didn't get that job so I'm a little down.   Just going to nap.

I am at 72 hours without hydro. I was taking 120 mg/day. Cut down to 60 mg for two days then went CT. The 24-48 hour mark was the worst of CT (which would have been 72 hours after the major reduction).  But even at the worst it was manageable. I pushed on to work, the biggest things for me was irritability, loss of focus, stomach problems, and body aches. All manageable. Night time is definitely the worst for me, the RLS

I think if you haven't really had it to bad at this point sounds like you won't. You are extremely lucky!!!!
