Wow,
It really seems that Meddguy's and my detox are truly mirroring each other. After haveing a pretty good 1st half of the day, the nasty symptoms started creeping back in. Here it is nearly 9pm eastern time, and I really feel bad. My stomach is really nauseated, but I will NOT take the Phenergan tablets prescribed for this....as, I have found out that the Phenergan was seriously worsening the restless leg syndrome....hell..I was completely crawling out of my skin last night (I had taken 2 of the phenergan yesterday). I have taken none today and that one nasty symptom is completely abated. I did some internet research and found that Phenergan CAN cause this symptom.
Overall, tonite, I feel just plain yucky....not devastatingly sick....just nasty. I DID work up the energy to go grab a bite to eat with my significant other ...which is the first time I have been out of the house since Friday.
I know this is only day 3 and I was really surprised that the 1st half of my day was as good as it was, so I take that as a blessing and forge ahead toward day 4....typically the "hump day". Hopefully, after tomorrow, I will see a slow and steady improvement in the physical symptoms.
Also tonight, for the FIRST time since I stopped cold turkey, I found myself craving a pain pill...which of course I did not give in to. I took a clonopin and hopefully those sensations will disappear.
More to come later...
