Michele I am sory I didn't answer you sooner but I have been so busy lately and I go to at least 4 meetings a week so I have not been on the board so much at all lately. I think it took me about 4 weeks to realy start feeling like my old self. The worse was the blahs you talk of. I had no enrgy at all but then the detox doc added Zyprexa to the Lexapro and things started to move very fast from then on in the right direction. I am about 6 weeks clean now and I honest don't have any cravings at all. It's like I never used the hydros. I have also a new pain doc and he give me an epidural and I have no pain exept on very humid days. I am so hapy and I feel so close to God now. I hope this helps you and I sure would like to know how you are doing. I send you lots of positive enrgy and I pray for you and evry one here all the time.
