Detox

I have been on percocet and soma for two years I have alot of nuero problems but I can't stand taking them any more. I started tapering a few days ago and then went cold turkey yesterday. I feel real bad my  body hurts I feel sick to my stomach I have the shacks. Does anyone know how long this will take, I have to get off this stuff.

Thanks and Godbless Chrissy

Hi Chrissy,

The problem is not detoxification but that of changing out brain's physiologies.  We have created more brain receptors for catching the opiates.  I know you have to get off this stuff.  I'll just have to tell you a little about me.  I had to go the buprenorphine way, (suboxone/subutex).  Am I healed,,,, no but my life is much much better now.  It is a serious drug and only as a last resort....(if you can't kick).

New to this detoxing thing myself, but I feel like every hour is a struggle, but it gets better by the minute, be patient and stick with it!

I will pray for both of us!
