Kit...it is different for everyone. I know you heard this already. I don't recall how long you were using drugs..or how much you were taking. that could be a factor. Also, so many people that stop using fall into depression..it is common.
Couple of things.....How long have you been detoxing? What are you doing to get out of this funk? Exercising, short walks. hot showers....reading...curling up and watching a good movie. Anything to get your mind off of it right now.
what day is it?
your drug of choice?
how much per day?
for how long?
I used hydro, percs, tylox for a four year time span. In between this time I would quit for a while and then start right back up. My husband got in a car accident and sustained a traumatic brain injury. Thats when I relapsed again and this time did something I promised myself I'd never do an Oxycontin. Now I have been on the Oxy's for I guess a year, practically everyday, which has not been cheap at 100-120 for one 80 mg. pill. Sometimes doing two or three a day! I have also been snorting them, removing the coating and using a water clamp to shave them down, I dont know if that makes a difference in detoxing or what but I am seriously going crazy today. I have screamed at everyone that I have came in contact with. . .
To quote Beach:
What day is it? Are you totally clean now?
Like everyone else asked..what day are you on?
7 shouldnt i feel better???
7 days and no drugs? No, you shouldn't. You're fine. Go to meetings, keep busy and the depression will pass. Also, have you talked to you Dr.? Maybe you need an antidepressant. In any event, to feel depressed in the first few weeks after coming off opiates is absolutely normal - but it will pass. Hang in there.
Look, I don't know the pills you talk about but at 100 each they sound as if they have the same kick as one of my heroin habits from days of old. And I imagine 2-3 and/or snorting just emphasises the effect. Day 7 is early days yet - its huge, I know it feels like a century - but as far as your poor old neurotransmitters and cells are concerned it is early.
I too was going nuts "counting the days" with all these expectations that I should be better by now and so on - and then I realised that the expectations were stuffing with my mood and spirits and approach. It really just is how it is, just for today - yes, "should" be better, wish it was better, but it ain't - so I am just working on accepting however I feel for today.
The emotional too I have found takes an alltogether different trajectory to the physical - physical get better two steps forward one step back, but I am being slammed by all those feelings you describe - rage, depression, no interest, hopeless etc.
Just hang in please, hang in there mate - just for today, deal just with today
Like others have said..Day 7 is still early. Just remember that all of these feelings are the withdrawals talking. It does get better..it does lift. It just takes a bit of time. Please, be easy on your self. Give yourself some time to heal. You didn't get into this addiction over night. It won't get better over night. 7 Days is early..but, things should get better soon. For me, things got much better at day 10 or so..
i am day 7 too. i thought i was doing a little better this morning. i am STRESSED OUT & anxious & that damn electicity feeling. i am sorry it is not a good day

Since you feel like butting in and telling me what I know and what I don't know where does it say in her answer what day she is on in W/Ds?
7 shouldnt i feel better???
what does it all matter. Let's just help the girl. I'm so sick and tired of this "who said what when and where". Let's just help her not be smart ***'s and tell her where to get pills next time she wants them.
Kit- Things will get better I promise you. It's always hell for a while, but each day will get a lil better!
