I did a slow taper and withdrawal still sucks

I recommend going to Wal-Mart or a pharmacy and getting Valerian Root. Well, I suppose that going to be at 8, it makes sense that you are awake now. Many people only sleep a few hours during withdraw. But a suggestion to prepare for tomorrow would be to get the valerian root and take 3 of them. You can get Melatonin too and combine them if you want but I find valerian root more successful. It is nice because if you wake up in the middle of the night it makes it easy to fall back asleep. It is OK that you are up right now, because you will be extra tired for tomorrow night and get a good night sleep. Just remember, you just have to make it 1 day. 1 day, that’s it! In one day, your physical symptoms are surely going to be even less and you will have a better chance at a good night’s sleep tomorrow night. Also, I would always take some naproxen right before bedtime to help my muscles relax and eat a lot of food because that somehow would make me sleepy. Don’t worry, you are on the path to normal. That is the good news. You have no where to go but up.

I slipped up because my best friend got the best china he ever had in his whole life and it was my first day going back to work, it was day 4, I felt like crap and had anxiety, and he lives only 1 block from my work and it was going to be free and so I slipped up. The second time I jumped, I was going back to work on day 6 and was super backed up with schoolwork and had anxiety so I took some subutex. The first time I ever jumped, a year and a half ago, I had only been on subs a few weeks and I stopped for a week or so and then I got an ear infection and it was excrutiating pain and the doctor gave me Vicodin. Yeah I know, crazy. Vicodin for an ear infection. Lol. Of course that didn’t take care of the pain so I bought some OCs and the rest is history. I could have accomplished so much more in the last year if I would not have slipped up that one time. I wish I would just wait at least 2 weeks because I am confident that after 2 weeks you should be feeling so proud and have more energy than when you were taking these opiate depressants, therefore accomplishing more, and feeling proud of what you are accomplishing.

Tonight might have been bad for you, but it will be over as soon as you know it and things will be back on track.
