Hey,
I've been clean now for two weeks, no more sweats, chills or the worst of the "come down" symptoms, but I just have no energy. How long should it take to completely normalize? Or have I just conditioned myself to be lazy.
I would say, on average I was doing anywhere from two or three Loratab tens, all the way to 60-150 milligrams of morphine, or even an Oxycontin 40 or two, a day, over the course of two or three months. Some days none at all (I would not be very sociable during these times, go figure).
I finally did take a morphine 15 today. Not to get high but because my body was aching and I didn't think a 15 would hurt me at this stage of the game.
Felt better for a minute, but quickly went back to just being tired and alittle sore.
Whats the best way to deal? Time? Wait it out? Do alittle here and there? Just not over the top?
The mental addiction for me is not an issue, I've only experience addiction physically. My man was the reason I started using more heavily, though I know I could of always said no. But for some reason I'd get angry if I wasn't doing it with him. I've always been a recreational user but he'd bring it around SO much my body got hooked. He's going to the methadone clinic now because he's addicted in both respects. I on the other hand know I can stop myself.
I guess I just want some idea of how long this fatigue may last. And see if there's something out there that may help.
