Withdrawals

[ang266]

I posted this somewhere else as well.  Haven't learned how to get around on this site yet.  This is really an update...not a questions but I am so open to any suggestions/advice/help you have to offer.  Here is what I posted in my journal.  Hopefully I won't have responses bombarding me from both places...Oh well if I do it's my fault!  LOL  Here goes:

This is my second day without hydrocodone.  My skin feels like I'm about to come out of my skin...it's crawling and I'm hot and then cold.  Having tremors and cravings today...wasn't too bad yesterday.  A little irritable today and feel a little lost today.  Also feeling angry...with myself for ever opening this door.  All I want to do is cry.  Not to worry...I will not give in...I will not!  Just keep sending up the prayers.  I took 2000 mg L-Tyrosine and 100 mg B6 this morning.  Hopefully it will kick in a little more and kinda straighten me out.  Keep praying!  Blessings...

No I'm not getting any aftercare.  I live in a town where everybody knows your business, and everybody is realted to each other.  I know that sounds crazy buit's the truth.  I am just afraid someone will find out and I'm not ready for that.  I know it sounds prideful...and maybe it is but I don't think I'm there yet.  Maybe eventually I will, but not yet.  I do know about the "beast"...ugh!  He will always be lurking, but I'm believing God that I am free once and for all and that I will walk in that.  I'm just going to make Him the center of my focus and if He leads me that way then He will take away all the fear I'm feeling concerning that, and I will just walk right into it.  He led me to this forum...I truly believe that, and will lead me the rest of the way.  Thanks so much for the encouragement and please keep praying for me as I will for you.  Blessings...

I know it seems like it won't ever end, but it will!   Right now it feels like your whole body and mind are out whack.  I hated feeling like I was walking around in a mental fog.  My mind and body felt heavy, I couldn't focus and I was soooo tired and lethargic.  It took everything I had to make it through the day and then I'd crash.  And then when I did, the creepy crawlies started up.  Felt like I wanted to crawl right out of my skin and shed it like a snake.  Hot baths with lots of epsoms salts helped sooth that.  And sometimes just a plain ol hot shower.  I'd stand there til the hot water tank ran cold.   I have done the CT with and without the vitamins and minerals.  They do make a difference.  Make sure you use the Immodium, drink fluids and eat light foods to keep your energy up as much as possible.  If you can..go for a walk.  It helps with the RLS some too.  Hang in there...you are at the worst.  It can't get any worse, only better.

Hi..Are you getting any aftercare..Like going to meetings for Support..Since you have done this a couple of times before..I would highly recommend this..
The detox part is the easiest..It is the obsession in our lil ol Pleasure Brain that is the hardest part for the most part of our lives...The Beast is always around...
God Bless...

Yes I have gone through wd before...twice but it's been a while and I just toughed it out then.  The second time I went through them was nothing like this if I'm remembering right.  I know I can do it but it seems so much harder this time around or maybe not.  I don't know...I'm still hanging in here.  I'm ready for this part to pass.  How in God's name did I get back here!!!!!????  Geesh!  I could kick myself! :-(...You guys are great and you have really been a help to me just the short time I've been on this site. ###roughday

Try to relax and remember that these are just physical symptoms that you will go through. Try not to panic and remember that these W/d,s  go away. They seem to come in waves and will subside and then you'll be O.K. Try not to tense up and lay down if you can and take deep breaths. Have you ever gone through withdrawal before?
