Yuck..day 3 is not going so well

[On a Clear Day...]

Started out pretty good. Took a shower, hair had shampoo shock, went to the store and feeling upbeat. And then...about 2 o'clock it was as if a curtain was drawn and I am hiding behind it. Do not feel like taking phone calls, my head is pounding, taking Advil for that, bought protein for dinner and fresh brocolli but don't think I can swallow any food.
Feel like a whining child in a grown up body. I know this will pass, please tell me this too shall pass...

And back at you :)

You sound like you are about in the early-mid stages of wd.  How many days has it been?   Sounds like you have all the determination to get this done and I admire you for it.  Its a rollercoaster ride without the exhiliration, just hang on.  It will soooo be worth it.

All the best to you!  I'm starting 72+ hours and I do think I'm feeling better already.  I think getting out in public has been helpful.  I'm sittingin a Starbucks right now having DECAF CAFE AMERICANO.

I wish you strentgh!

This is day three. I was taking 2-3 percs a day up until about ten days ago, then took one a day in bits and pieces. Stopped completely because I really felt it was affecting my personality. Going through menopause as well, so not sure what is which?? Just believe I have a problem with liking percs and not taking for pain anymore, but for the buzz, so I must have a problem. Had a few glasses of wine tonight and going to bed. Looking forward to a better tomorrow. Thanks for caring enough to write back to me :)

This too shall pass.  You are almost there so just hold on.  Live in the minute if you have to.  Today I am in day 5 of c/t off 20 vic es per day and fel alot better.  I made one mistake earlier in the day and that was to drink a huge cup of coffe thinking it would boost mjy non-existant energy.  Big mistake, All it did was give me stomach aches and anxiety.  Much better tonight since the coffee is out of my system.

Just stay strong and don't let a little pill enslave you any longer.

You are so right. Sounds like, by what I have read, that each day the aches and pains and crying spells will disipate. I had no idea this was such a problem until I tried to stop taking them. Taking them did not do much for me so I have no desire to take one to make me feel better, because I know it won't. Guess time is the only healer here. Does not appear to be something I need to be under medical supervision to get thru this, just patience and a strong will :)
