Greetings Melinda-
Good to hear from you! How goes things in your little part of the world? I hope well.
Well, remember how I was complaining of terrible lack of energy, etc when trying to taper down from 4.5mg? Well, I had a doctor's appt today after having some lab work done and it seems my Vit B complex tests (Vit B has a lot to do with making red blood cells and energy) is very low, as well as Vitamin D, and my
thyroid level is quite low which really effects energy levels (I alread have to take thyroid pills but evidently not enough). Soooo, this helps explain the fatigue and feeling low, etc. They increased my thyroid, are going to give me B1 and B12 injections and I have to start Vitamin D. I know Robert suspected there was some other medical issues going on other than w/d and, of course, turns out he was right! The problem is I have been stuck at around 4mg now for going on 3 weeks, thinking it was the tapering process that was making me feel so low and lethargic.
My problem now is, do I start to taper per Robert's plan now, or wait until I feel a little stronger from the above adjustments. Of course, if I wait it's more time on
Suboxone and I'm behind as it is. If I start back on taper now, I'm afraid I won't be able to even function.
I just can't seem to muster the "go get 'um" attitude i had when I started the process. I was so committed, even through my accident, and now I seem to have lost that steadfastness (if that's a word..hehehehe). I feel like I am in a real slump and I've got to somehow get that aggressive attitude back. Maybe it's just because I was feeling so poor and hopefully it will return when I feel a little better, medically speaking. I think I am just trying to justify flaking out.
So I think I need to try to come crawling back on my hands and knees, repenting my sins, and ask for Robert's help to get started again
) I'll send him a note.
Hope all is well Melinda, your doing a great job!
Hugs,
