Hi there,

So I have a problem with Percocet and any opiate pill, really. Friday night I took 110mg, Saturday at 8:30 am 50mg. Nothing since except Immodium and Benadryl. I'm right at 48 hours. I'm at work, ugh. Got about five hours sleep. Last couple nights have been sweaty, my least favorite symptom. Right now I feel...pretty okay for 48 hours. In past withdrawals no way I could have gotten up at 6 and taken two buses to work and such. Right now my only real symptoms are achy muscles (especially legs), anxiety/guilt/mild depression.

So questions:
1. Do you think this is it and I'm over the worst? Or am I about to get walloped at some point today and feel a lot worse?
2. Already counting my money and wanting to pick a few up tonight so I can feel human. I'm broke, I would be starting over AGAIN, so I know it is stupid but can't shake the idea.

So what do you think? Through the worst of it or not even close? I've had much much much worse withdrawals in the past so I'm confused. I still feel like s*** but nowhere near the usual shivering under my covers and lying about the flu while I pray to die.

Help an idiot out? I don't have anybody I can talk to.

Thanks and good luck to everyone fighting this awful crap.

When I was detoxing and feeling really bad one of the main things that kept me going was telling myself "if I go get another pill I'm going to have to go thru this all over again" and the last thing I wanted was a repeat of how I was feeling. So I would drag my a** to a meeting or to my sponsor's house and sit and listen. I didn't retain much but I listened. What you're feeling is going to pass if you don't pick up. Just get through today.

Laugh because it shows people that you have what they want and what they need: a hope in things unseen, a peace that passes understanding, and a God of miracles who also has a great sense of humor.
