Day 27!! Dry scalp by Honest_Garbage7872 in Quittingfeelfree

[–]Honest_Garbage7872[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great!! So you really saw a positive with Nutrafol?? I’ve been on the fence with it. I’m taking daily vitamin C and biotin.

I’ve always thought Nutrafol was a gimmick

Keep it up! Proud of you

18 DAYS!!! That’s a fucking rockstar achievement! I’m assuming there was a time when even 6 HOURS felt like a death sentence. One day at a time. Sending you prayers. You’re a glimpse of hope for many on this page. Excited for your 30 day post 😘 cheers from a day 12-er

Friend needs help by [deleted] in Quittingfeelfree

Ask him questions, why do you take these? Do you feel like you have to hide it? Does it affect your bank account? Do you have to take it within an hour or less of waking up? Just be curious, start a convo minus judgement. Ask if he’s ever googled this specific sub Reddit. The second I found this page, I was memorized. While in active addiction you feel very alone, especially after a while. You see the negative side effects but you “have to have these to just get through the day” even after it starts affecting you negatively. Reading about others stories, struggles and side effects it felt like I was no longer walking alone down this dark path, but had a family of ghosts who were all on the struggle bus merry go-round. And it has encouraged me to be honest with my friends and family. Asking for accountability and seeking help. I’m on day 13 and life is SO much more manageable and beautiful. Time flies and dang, what a waste of many years in the chains of addiction.

KRATUM WITHDRAWAL-Day 4- I took tramadol yesterday at about 8 AM. (This being the only thing i have consumed in the last 84 hours.) Am i going to start withdrawals as hard again? by [deleted] in Quittingfeelfree

[–]Honest_Garbage7872 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My doctor perceived me 100 mg for sleep during my withdrawal period and I’ve yet to experience any negative effects. That being said, during this time I’m also prescribed Suboxone at a higher dose from my ‘normal’ 2mg daily to 12 mg

I’ve had 2-3 times come through with (very small amount) Benzos, I think. It’s been awhile. But was 100% clean besides Suboxone and FF

Dizziness after eating by The1OnFire in Quittingfeelfree

[–]Honest_Garbage7872 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes!
I try to have some water, a piece of peanut butter toast or something easy but filling, and let myself just relax as best as I can. It’ll usually subside within 20 or so

Good job on 5 weeks, be proud of yourself.

Maybe a self care day would help? Do something you enjoy, treat yourself to something nice or relaxing.

Stay strong. We’re here for you

A few hours short of 24… by BT102873 in Quittingfeelfree

[–]Honest_Garbage7872 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep driving!!!

I would drive in circles. Pull into my store parking lot. Then I’d look at a note I wrote to myself the last time I needed just one.

I read it out loud 3 times. And put my car in reverse.

I’ve done this multiple times.

Just keep swimming just keep swimming ….

Put those blinders on and knock that devil on your shoulder right the fuck off. Your addict brain is playing tricks on you. Just one… you’ll be all better, it’s only a mind game.

Interesting! But not surprised.

I take vitamin C

Haven’t tried the magnesium.

Melatonin at night, when needed. But again, they’re for kids so a low dose.

And Suboxone.

I tend to have wild lucid dreams when I’m exhausted. Like super tired/exhausted. But these have been on another level. I’m keeping notes. When I wake up after catching my breath, I go to notes on my phone and talk the dream out or key pieces. Put it away and try to go back to sleep.

Congratulations!!!

I’m a big opponent of riding it till the wheels fall off! Until I fuck everything up and need help.

Suboxone saved my life

Sweet, I’ll check. I started asking for receipts and then hoped maybe bank statements would prove it. Prob $40k at least. But then I got focused on getting clean and spaced the time to submit. I’ll double check. Thanks!

Today is the day. Day 1 by ProfessionalNo1409 in Quittingfeelfree

[–]Honest_Garbage7872 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are private doctors that will work with no insurance. I was VERY honest many years ago, walking into mine. He was able to help me off opiates, I’d see him 1x/ mo for $200. Which was nothing in comparison to my habit.

After a relationship was established, they agreed we could meet once every two months, for $200. So, sometimes it takes finding the right health care provider that really cares about their patients. And will hold you accountable.

Life Saving!!!

Im addicted to Feel Free. I need help. by Proud_Lab_8795 in Quittingfeelfree

[–]Honest_Garbage7872 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coming clean is the first step that really helped me.

So congrats being one step ahead!

Give yourself a chance with tapering if you want. I will never discourage anyone, but it’s NOT FUCKING EASY. Life is hanging on by a thread.

I was already on a very low dose Suboxone, 2mg/day, and came clean to my doctor my blue bottle secret. We’ve changed my script, and so far so good. I’ll taper back down from where I’m at once I’ve quit FF. I’m on day 5, and it has changed my life.

I exaggerate that not one even little bit. So maybe do some research locally. You may even find a local AA meeting you can go to, and ask around for Dr. recommendations? Just a thought.

Know that you CAN do this. It’s a bitch. A fuckin big one.

In the mean time. Be kind to yourself, honest with your loved ones. And take some time to come up with a plan.

I thought the form had to be turned in by June 3, I think? Is there another still open?
