How are you feeling?

Groggy, fatigued and run down. I am sleeping and eating though and the pain is a lot more bearable, and most of the symptoms have passed, on day 22 now, proud of myself.

How many days have you got left?

Not sure, everyone is different and I stubbornly jumped off a high dose instead of tapering. They said two weeks at first, but it just seemed to peak after that time. So I'm trying not to think of when I will be 100% just taking it one day at a time.

But thanks for asking :)

Well good luck with it, and if you ever need someone to bore you to tears so you wont be able to think about the pain, I'm your guy ::p:

Sorry to hear that. Anything you want to talk about? And hey, you've got an expensive new laptop, you can't complain ::p:
^ Nothing to talk about. I was physically miserable, not really emotionally (although yesterday did suck :/). But, that last sentence is quite true. ;) Wasn't that expensive though. I got a great deal!

You got an expensive laptop.... cheap! Even luckier! And you didn't pay for it. And now you get to speak to your good buddy Zac whenever you want :D

Subutex, it's a substitute. And wow that sounds like pure hell! You kick ass for being strong enough to come out the other side of something like that.

Funny how prescribed medication can cause more harm than good in some cases.
 
Sorry didn't mean too! Not all medication is addictive, and there are precautions and steps for the ones which are.

My current situation is more my fault than the medication too.

Thanks for putting my mind at ease. I had a dream about having to halve the dose for the rest of my life, and of course I can't halve it to nothing, so i ended up with infinitesimally small doses.

Yes, I have dreams like this.

Like I'm lost in a haze or something. Definitely experiencing some depersonalization. And I sleep way too long, get up feeling exhausted and heavy, no motivation, no energy. It's starting to freak me out...
