Hi Matt, you can take up to 3000mg tylenol a day before it starts to ruin your liver. You can also take advil along with the tylenol if you need it. Its good to feel low when detoxing somewhat. You have to see what the drugs have made you become. A drug addict is a drug addict whether its crack, alchohal, oxy, vic or heroin. Hang in there and make new friends. Friends arent very good friends if they bring you down with them.

i would try something OTC the dareset is what got me last time, just suffer it out, its hard but millions have done it, you just dont wanna switch one drug for anouther and the derv do have something sim to opoit in it, i see that as bein risky. I did c/t and on day 4 was liviable, it does get better, you just cant break in the beginning

hey buddy you can do it. However, IT IS A FACT THAT YOU MUST BE READY because YOU ARE READY< NOT BECAUSE YOU CANT AFFORD THEM TODAY. look i am only on day four again after a relapse but you have to know that you can do this, so many before us have done it, and besides you just have to quite, you can not still be getting "high" u just taking now to feel norm.
  It is so not worth it, put all that energy you put into getting pills into getting clean and you will be good to go. Good luck, Lee
P.S. after day three (IMO) it starts to get better

If you are serious about doing this then you have to do what ever it takes. If you are only doing this because you cant afford it anymore then you are going to have problems. You have to want this really bad and you are going to have to make compromises to do it. If you are serious then you need to get yourself prepared and you will need to take time off work. It is to dangerous for you and the people you work with. You wont be able to concentrate on what you are doing and you will be very weak. Just tell them you have the flu and take the week off. Then you will need some after care like n/a to stay clean. You will be able to afford a week off with all the money you save from not buying pills. Also it is easier if you let someone no what you are doing so they can help you and so you have someone to talk to during the process.

Hi Matt, I was taking 3 at a time 3 times a day and also 120 oxy 3 times a day for 6 years. If you can manage to taper yourself down first it may make it easier. Maybe take 2 1/2 at a time for a while and keep tapering 1/2 pill at a time. You will feel a little withdrawal each time but not bad. You will also be able to work during this proccess. Dont taper again until your body is use to the first taper. You probably wont even notice it on your first taper. But if c/t is what you want to do you will difinately have to take time off work because trying to work during it is impossable. Atleast a week should do it. Good luck and listen to everyones advice and then make a decision. Being prepared for whats to come is a must.
