go to a thread below called "Oxycontin detox", dated 8-18. look up the "tom to Charlie" posts there. I put pretty much all I've learned about handling narcoticDrug abuse withdrawalDelirium tremens over my 27-year "career" in those posts. You're on the right track with the hot baths, though. Hope this helps.

also, some of the "tom to Mariah" posts below have info on how to "schedule" yourself down from narcs without too much unpleasantness. If you have the discipline, it really works! Let us know how you're doing this weekend. No one knows what you're feeling like we do.

sorry to disturb your nap, but do you think you could archive some of the older threads so some of us can post new topics? I mean, really, one new thread a day? This site is as constipated as its posters ... and don't give us that, "we don't have any money" nonsense. The web doesn't charge by the word. Open this thing up or shut it down. That's what the mouse is for!

Tom thank god your around. I' have gotten more help from you. I know these Docs feel liable, but the reason some of us come here is there are no other options. How many times have you read-see a specialist.Sometimes we just need a little info.The immodium was key along with hot baths.Maybe wecan't get better without rehab or AA, NA,RA, but it nice to have someone who hs been there.My wife is SO supportive but has no idea of the painAbdominal pain

Try to reduce your dosage by about 10% every few days.  If you are taking 3.5, cutCuts and puncture wounds down to 3.25 for 3 days, then 3.0 for 3 days, etc., taking them on the schedule you normally do.  This should give your body time to adjust to the reduced dosage and will help minimize withdrawalDelirium tremens.  Once you enter withdrawalDelirium tremens, drink lots of fluids, take hot baths (for muscleDeep anterior muscles

Drug-induced hypertension addict in today's world. AddictionDrug abuse and dependence can be a lonely experience. I don't feel so alone when I can exchange stories or addictionDrug abuse and dependence-related info with someone who has walked the same path as me. Furthermore, I would like to take some of the suffering I've gone through during 27 years of opiate addictionDrug abuse and dependence and use it to help other addicts. That way, I don't feel as if this part of my life has been  totally wasted. I am turning 47 next month and I want my addictionDrug abuse and dependence experience to have meant something. I feel good when someone tells me I helped them get through withdrawalDelirium tremens, or I saved them from using a drugChemical dependence - resources

Drug-induced hypertension in a dangerous way. I almost always take time to let people know that I am not a doctor, just a fellow addict with sometimes more experience than they have. Why should everyone have to make all the same mistakes I have when I can give them what I honestly believe is a better way to go? And if I'm wrong, I'd like to know about it so I can learn from my visits. I love it when people like Brian get on and share what they know with us.



The reason I ask for more threads is because addictionDrug abuse and dependence is a broad subject and people come here for answers to all kinds of questions. More threads simply means more communication. It's not that I'm not interested in the topics in the current threads. But look at the dates of the last additions and you can see that no one is responding to them anymore. I work in the computer industry and I know that archiving old threads that have served their purpose and are no longer attracting messages is a simple matter and involves only a little of a webmaster's time. This site accepting only one new topic per day limits its effectiveness.



I hope that answers your question.



So why do you come here? Tell us your story. I'm sure you've got one. Teach us something. Participate and provide some knowledge and companionship. I look forward to your next post.

Hey Tom, Chad here...understand one thing..I belive that one of the reasons that I am trying to stay clean is because of the advice that you gave my girlfriend and I. Tom, you were VERY helpful! That much is true. I just posted on a thread down below, Let me know what you think. Anyway, I am sure that I speak for alot of us in the fact that you have helped many of us both detox and recover from this stuff. I just wish I would have read your posts before I withdrew cold turkey! There was no hot baths or any of that stuff for me. Just layin' in bed twitchin' like a (can't think of a good analigy) but you get the point! Chad

thanks for the kind words. I appreciate it. I think "About Tom" asked valid questions so I was happy to respond. I can't always say what draws me to this site, and I suppose someone could deduce a variety of motives from the content of my posts. I was a little sarcastic with the webmaster, but what can I say? It was late, and, yeah, I was high.

Anyway, thanks. I'm going to read your other post now. Good to hear from you. Give my best to your girlfriend.
