Title: 3rd day on morphine withdrawl
Post by jokrs2 on Mar 4^th, 2005, 3:03pm

3rd day on half dose of morphine, but gotta keep going so that I can get a real clear evaluation of Kudzu, which should be arriving in the next couple of days. 3 more days and then I'll cut it in half again and then about 3 days and I'll be cold turkey. Already having chills and sick to my stomach with bad cramps, fortunately just shadows of CH so not having to take the trex right now. 20 years of opioid addiction is going bye bye and I'm looking forward to a new world and a new opportunity to fight the beast. Thanks for letting me spew a bit....shhhhaaaakkkyyyy. :-/. Hope your day is PF. Joe

One day at a time, indeed, bro. Remember, you have to do this only once.

Thanks for the encouragement everybody. Still making it and I took my first dose of Kudzu today. I feel so wierd because of the withdrawal that I'll have to give the kudzu a bit of time before I can report fully on how I'm doing, but I will keep you posted. Yes, one day at a time. Thanks again and PFD&N's to all. Joe
ps No Imitrex for 4 days.

I have been witness to this type of withdrawal and want to say how proud I am of you!!

To say "it's not easy" is way too insignificant.
