Many of you have seen me write here for a long time now and fail with regard to my oxycontin detox. Well, I have started again for about the 100th time and I wanted to let you know my progress. I am still on 10 mg. of oxys that I take 3 times a day. That is now down from a total of 90 mgs. to 30 mgs. I have been tapering to get here. I am able to do things slowly. But I am not always totally nauseous or tortured at this point. I have even started an exercise routine where I am doing cardiac exercise for about 45 minutes a day and some weight lifting as well. I am alone so I am trying to keep up with housework and paperwork and all of that jazz. It has taken me a long time to taper to this point though. I will tell you that the feelings come out in full force. I find myself crying at every little thing but I keep telling myself that it is better to have a natural brain that to mess with my brain with the drugs. I am also eating really healthy, fruits, veggies, and drinking NOTHING BUT WATER. I eat a lot of frozen grapes and frozen bananas. I still don't have much energy and I am forcing myself to do the cardiac but here is the good part. Every night when I go to bed and when I fall asleep, I seem to sleep a little longer (ie without waking up with this huge withdrawal sickness). I have a feeling it will be very difficult the next step because after about 6 hours of being on the 10 mg. I start to lose all energy and I have to fight through the next two hours to take the other pill. Has anybody been where I am? And can you share what you did next in your taper process? peace, love and blessings. Shiloh
