I wa put on Vicodin 2 .5 years ago due to back pain and my Gp prescribe this Ativan 6 weeks ago shame on me for for not researching I would of never taken this ever How have you pushed through.  I was only on for 6 weeks and I was hopeful with that time i would hopefully heal quicker my kids need me I’m so broken.  How could this happen in a matter of weeks not wantnto cook clean leave the house go to work I can’t eat.  Did you suffer these symptoms also .  The aches now and the insomnia is insane. How can you heal with little food no sleep and al largess symthons.  Do you feel like yourself again now ?  How long was your taper ?  How do you know your stabilized ?  Does that mean all the crazy. Symptoms go away ?  I had the chills and heat flashes stomach pain lower back pain I have no appetite.  Have met with docs several times say I am also depressed want to force depression meds.  Also suggest I go back up on dose and try to taper slowlyIm having bad thoughts I am not going to make it. Should I just sell my house now and find a good family that can watch over my kids and make sure they can stay on track for their lives.  I was super mom before this.  I did everything with my kids took them places ran for them sprint time watching tv playing being at all activity.  To this.  Will I ever feel  like me again and have my life back.  Can you do what you did before this damage ?  I need so much help and guidance

I didn’t keep track at the time the doc said take as needed and break in half if needs so I did that I wouldnbrak of about half if felt overwhelmed.  I don’t know if it just numbed me.  But I was able to drive in July I was working and taking my kids to doc apts.  picking up dinner having Starbucks working out 4-5 days a week  the only thing I noticed and why I went in was I was not eating and I was starting to have separation anxiety from spouse.  I would go by his jobs he would let me where and I would go say hi and come home and work.  I was going out with him on weekends to hang out for a bit. To now don’t wsnt to leave the house.  I feel not thisncant be happenekng. He already has lost his patience and is being mean.  Also hasn’t been helping with kids.  I told him it is the meds and he is annnoyed.  I can’t handle all this I’m a mess. We have been together for 18 years and he has been staying out late which makes me anxious and he isn’t steeping up for my boys.  My life has been turned 180 and I can’t stop it. I just need to be back to normal so I can work and be back for my kids. I also need to be sane to deal with my spouse And what he is doing.  This could all kill me really

You need support in the home to get through this Mrtncruz.  Whether you get it or not is another matter.  :-\

 

Having kids adds a whole new dimension to this crap.  I'm so sorry.  I take my hat off. 

 

Is your partner available?  Do you have family who will help?  Can you take time off work?  Are your kids old enough to take care of their own needs for a while? 

 

You have 'only' been on for 6 weeks.  Hopefully your recovery will be brief as well.  The crazy symptoms do go away. 

 

It is completely doable Mrtncruz, you just need some time to get through the initial Acute stage.  And you need support.  I really hope it is available to you.

 

Kids are pretty good at roughing it every once in a while.  So long as they are safe, and you explain to them that you are not well, but will be better, that's all that matters. 

 

Do not sell your house imo.  You will regret it after you are well again.  :)

Idk what to do. I am baffled and scared. I have lost too mich weight but can’t eat. I know it sounds crazy to sell my house.  But idk how long this will take.  I can’t take time off work but only for so long. I don’t have daily support.  My spouse since this all happened has been mean distant and comes and goes. He will be nice for a small moment and that is it.  I so desperately want to be back Tom me. My boys need me.  I have done everything for them.  My spouse didn’t help over the weekend at all. But when he is gone It makes me freak out. How do I get through this    Each day is more testing and harder.  I need someone or multi family to help. I’m at a loss

When feeling like you do everything becomes overwhelming.  Everything seems insurmountable, and we need help, but none is forthcoming.  Except for here.  Stay here for the support you need.  You will learn a lot along the way, and find that things are not as insurmountable as first thought. 

 

I think your main focus should be on you, and getting well.  Screw your partner. 

 

If I could send a troop of childcare workers I would, but I can't.  All I can say is that this thing does reach its end.

 

Hang in and keep posting.
