DAY 16 coming off oxy

[hawkeye77]

Hi everyone. I know its been awhile but just wanted to post some advice. DO NOT go c/t  off of oxy's. I went c/t off oxy's and I would never do it that way again. Its to hard on your body. I still don't feel all that great. Can't sleep,leg and back pain. If I had to do it over I would taper back a little a time. But I'm this far and I can see daylight.You all have been my only support and I thank you. If I can help anyone don't hesitate to ask me.

I'm an old pot head and alcoholic as well as a drug and alcohol counselor, but I need your help on what is considered an appropriate detox for those who have been on these for a couple of years or more.  I feel that many of those I'm seeing could use medical detox, or placed at a facility where other substitute medications could or should be administered to come down or weaned off. Have any of you felt you needed to be in detox for more than a few days? What kinds of symptoms did you have after say, three days, after five days or after a week of detox? This would be helpful to help those who suffer from this demon and get them the kind of treatment that is suitable. Appreciate all your courage to confront this demon of the opiate kind. hang in there!
