I dont know what is up these last 2 days have been bad. I thought that I was feeling better other than no energy. Last night and today I am having the cravings bad and I am having the hot flashes again. The energy is getting a little bit better each day I just hope that these cravings go away. I hope everyone is doing well I will keep in touch.

Hi Redman,

I think the WD's will come and go for a while, but don't get discouraged. I do believe a lot of the physical symptoms are related to the anxiety of not having any pills to take, and the stress of approaching life in a different way than you have in a while. Seriously, it has to get better. If you stay the course, you will fell better next month, and the next, and then months will pass and then a year. Think of it logistically, getting better is inevitable. I know it's hard. I am dealing with it too. You will get back to normal. If you start again, you'll have to start recovery again. So stay the course..you'll have good days, better days, some not-so-good days, but those will be fewer than the good days as the weeks pass. Many of us just need other outlets, other thoughts, and other ways to deal with life and stress. Think about the days you did that before you found Oxy. Thinking about wanting it is obsessive, and I am sure you wish like all of us you never found it. But dream of that day when it won't matter; you won't have any, you won't want any, and you'll feel physically better. You'll wake up every morning feeling great. It will happen. Ten days off is a HUGE accomlishment. I can't wait until I am off on day 10. I know it'll be hard, and then I'll post about it and you can tell me you did it and there is hope. OK? Hang in there. We are here for you and want you to do this.
