Hey buddy:

Just checking up on ya...how are you feeling?

Honey,

I have never taken subs, but I was dependent on oxy for 8 years.  It isn't generally a good idea to buy stuff (subs) from people, and I can't give you advice on tapering or how much to take, but I can tell you this:  Low energy and fatigue is completely normal.   You're going to feel like this for a while.

The best things for you to do are: eat well (lightly if you're tummy is upset), try to get sunshine, ANY exercise will help, lots and lots of WATER, and do not give up.

Have you considered going to meetings?  A/A, N/A, church groups, anything where you can get daily, face-to-face support?  

Hang in there sweetie...it DOES get better, but it takes time!

Hugs,
-Robin

Hey rambo53 congrats on getting off everything. I know when I did a sub treatment it was for just about 7 days and I was fine when I stopped. I can say this from what I have read is that wd from pills takes a few days but wd from subs will take a few weeks. The opiates have cleared your system a while back. Be sure not to become dependent on the subs as all you are doing is replacing one addiction for another. Do you know the actual dose you are taking? You can do this and you will come out a better person for it. Tragedy builds character right? Good luck and there are alot of people here to help who are pulling for you.

Hi & Welcome rambo.
It seems to be a bit slow right now. Keep checking your post and others will chime in & out.

If I understand this right..You have been off the other opiates for a month now?? My question is were you on the subs to help? Are you getting them from a Dr and are you under there maintenance program?

The depression and low energy is a on going thing in early Recovery. It takes Time for all the Brain Chemistry and so forth to balance out. Maybe leave the Subs alone and just give this more Time and please try to have some Patience. We did not get hooked over night, so it will take some time to Heal.

Meanwhile, taking the vit/min will surely help but they take time to kick in as well. Make sure you are Drinking Tons of water. Try to eat very Healthy as this will help you, because you will get more vit/min from Healthy foods.
There is so much to this Recovery.

Stick around and read some of the other postings. There will be more people coming in to share there own experiences and hope for a better future. I will check back and see if you are still with us. I do wish you the best..Exercise, Sun and Music will help spark up the endorphin and serotonin which will help you balance back and also help with the depression.
Bless
Vickie
