Stillkickin: You did not disappoint! I came here looking for your Sunday (evening) post... and here it is! You are doing so well, and to have family around, the healthy meals, even going out to catch a movie (btw: isn't that the flick with the old movie reels needing to have been set up?) Any opinions on the quality of the showing and the actual film itself?
I honestly feel so good about my plan. My anxiety is near 0, and I feel confident. What I did was compare my taper to a Suboxone short, but not rapid taper. Like a month or so. Today, for example I had 22.5 mg oxycodone, 7.5mg at a time, about 8 hours apart. And, I felt it, a little buzz, but more importantly, took the edge off my back pain today. And, being on a minimal dose has alleviated a lot of depression and lethargy caused by taken 5 oxycodone a day. My head is also clearer, for sure. Just hanging out, dog sitting early tomorrow morning, client on Tuesday, and PM appt on Wednesday with scripts written to be filled either Friday or Monday.... I know, but cannot get them re filled too soon, pharmacy policies. Maybe you have felt the worst of the w/d's and you are only going to feel better each day,,,take care!
Hey P0kemama,
Glad I didn't disappoint! :D Thank you kindly for the words of encouragement!
Hateful 8 did have a road show where it was only being projected on the 70mm film reels. I just saw it at a local theater that had the standard digital projectors. Still looked great and was an awesome movie. I love Quentin's dialogue. That guy is definitely a genius when it comes to constructing a well orchestrated development of characters over the course of the film. I strongly suggest anyone check out the movie if they're in to those types of flicks.
Seems like a good plan you're executing. I'm very familiar with those pharm policies . Once ya get burned by them thinking you're all good cuz your script is in hand and you go home from the pharmacy empty handed and bitter, you don't seem to forget those occurrences.
I think I have made it past the worst of the w/d's. Mainly the chills are the most frustrating thing for me today. Haven't taken anything yet today but I'm really considering allowing myself that 2 grams of Kratom so I can go get a haircut and hit the gym again. It's been an internal struggle for me all morning. Half of me is saying take it so you can get some things done today but the other half is telling me to just keep my ass sat down and keep toughing out the irritating symptoms. I'll probably take the 2g and go get some things done though if I'm being honest with you all and myself, but that's the thought process going on in the noggin atm. I am SOOO sore from the workout yesterday but I need to hit the other muscles today to even it all out.
Will check in later today and let ya all know how it went. Good luck and strength to all of you!!!
