I've been wondering how you are too.

Hi everyone! Happy to report that I am doing really really well! Way better than I expected... the mental dependancy still hits me at times. I am over the pain pretty much. That seemed kind of fast for me.
What I thought would be a prob : Found out today my husband is having surgery again onhis foot...for the 5th time....but he has agreed that he will not bring pain meds to the house. He does not use them...he takes 2 or 3 then the bottle sits for me to swallow. So he said he is going to ask for a non narcotic med. But I still feel guilty that because of me he wont be able to have pain meds after his surgery.

Heya....

some meds do not produce immediate physical withdrawal... it may yet be to come. no telling without knowing the med. it does vary across individuals too, but... may i ask...

what was the drug you were taking and how many mg per day?

Hi Everybody. I was doing really well, and now I have fallen into a depression...not the worst I have ever had, but enough to keep me down. Welp, I better go peel the kids off of each other. Thank you for checking in on me!!!!

Dear CBlue,

Thanks for checking in.
I worried.
I hope the depression lifts.
Hopefully you are keeping in touch with your pdoc on this... or call him if it doesn't improve.

Take care and keep us posted.
