Crap dude, I was hoping that you wouldn’t get slammed like you did yesterday and today. I know exactly how you feel, I had a period in the very early days of my wd where I distinctly remember thinking, "hey, I’m feeling better, this is cool", then I ended up going back to shit again. I call that my dead cat bounce……I figured I’d throw the cat reference in there after you so eloquently referred to your cat nibbling your toes off after you die!! LOL!!! At least your sense of humor is still intact, you made me chuckle good a couple of times during your last post…..actually, during most of your posts.
Several of us high jumpers noticed a big difference around the 30 day mark. I happened to start Clonidine at day 30, so I noticed a real big difference. The Clonidine won’t make you feel like a million bucks, but it’ll definitely make a difference.
If you do decide to go into a clinic to get some Clonidine, tell them the truth Rsj!! Tell them you’re a recovering opiate addict, you got on Suboxone to help you stay clean, now you’re off of Suboxone and would like some Clonidine to help ease the wd’s. The worst thing that can happen is they boot you out, the best thing, however, you get some Clonidine!! BTW, I took .1mg of Clonidine twice daily. Yeah, .1mg is right. Be sure they don’t think you’re asking for Klonopin, that’s a benzo (valium/xanax kinda thing). Doctors seem to mix Clonidine and Klonopin up sometimes. They’re two TOTALLY different drugs.
Oh Yeah, I hear ya on wishing you could sleep like your cat!! I used to curse my wife as she was sleeping like a baby while I was downstairs going through nine kinds of hell because I couldn’t sleep!! OPIATE WD SUCKS!!
Vent away all you want if it helps. Scream like a maniac if you need to. Get it out. Most all of us here understand.
