Hi,

It is 6:19am here in N.C. and I have made it through the first weekend. This is my sixth day without Hydro and I am still feeling very weak. I still crave the drug real bad too. If I could get the ENERGY to exercise I think that I would be better off. Any suggestions?? I know that I can conquer the temptation becasue yesterday someone offered me a handful and I turned them down. I did have several Michelob Ultras though. If I ever get to feeling good again it would be great. I know that I will never take another one of those hellish pills because I could not stand the thoughts of going through this cold turkey thing again. I think that it has been better for me personally not taking Subox? or Antidepressants because I have felt every uncomfortable feeling associated with getting off of the stuff and the memories of this experience will keep me off of the drug. I am also glad that I figured out what this was doing to me after 10 years and that no one in my family found out. It has been real bad though going through the weekend becasue I have two children ages 5 and 9 and a career and a few business of my own to take care of and not having any energy was terrible. I was not the nicest "mommy" this weekend either and I really feel bad about treating them this way. I will be so glad when I get my life back... how much longer will it be?

Glad to hear that you made it through the weekend! If you're 6 days clean I'd say you should be feeling pretty decent in another 4-6 days..If you can try and take walks,even short ones..Good for pains,weakness,restless legs etc...

I myself was running late for work this morning so I took my handful of pills(inckuding my 1st suboxone of the day) all on an empty stomach..So Now I have been at work all day throwing up every 30 mins or so all day! I can eat and I feel TERRIBLE...So I guess a word to the wise,try not to take suboxone on a VERY empty stomach,you're NOT going to like it.....Does anyone have any suggestions for something lite to eat when I get home before I take my next dose? Im thinking ice cream would be soothing..

I have been eating either crackers, ice cream, or frozen yogurt. that has helped soothe the stomach. Since my appetite has left, i try to eat the crackers on and off thru out the day. hope this helps
