[FONT=Comic Sans MS]Wow, an oxycodone user! Everyone seems to be on hydrocodone and I was feeling unique. ;) I am on day 7. I tapered. I have pills in the house but no desire to take them. They are for my husband's taper. I have no energy and there is no way I would be mowing lawns. Wow. I know I feel better when I am busy like I was yesterday, but today is just blahhhh. I feel so much better than I did. Atleast for now the achyness is gone.
I will tell you what is working for me. I take xanax 3 x a day and 4 at night. This is as ordered by my doctor. I also take a 5 mg. flexeril (muscle relaxer) to help me sleep. I sleep all night. I am taking the L-Tyrosine as specified in the detox recipe. Am drinking lots of water.
I am going to a meeting tonight, I couldn't go all week because of other physical problems. I am reading my AA literature and praying. If you ask God to remove the desire to use from you, he will. And just 5 minutes at a time don't use, don't call anyone for a perc and keep thanking God for all your blessings. Every time you want to take a pill, thank God for the blessings around you. Everything. Thank you God for soap and hot water and plumbing. Thank you for this wash cloth. Thank you for this food, this air, this chair, etc. It works.
On monday, I am beginning my xanax taper. I just want to be off drugs even if they were ordered by a doctor. I hope that you are having a good day off and feel better soon.
Oh, do you have a bad taste in your mouth? I do and no matter what I do, it won't go away and I have no appetite, just make myself eat. Same with you?
Keep the faith,
