Day two
I feel like I'm dying.  Ache all over.  Real bad.
This is why I couldn't titrate down.  I'd be taking them right now to stop this nasty nasty feeling.
]
have no choice but to go thru this.  It won't kill me, even if I feel like it.

im not familar with these groups/forums so i hope im writing in the right spot. My husband and I are on day three off percs hydros whatever. He started going to the doc 3 or so yrs ago for pain from a steel rod in his leg. I took a quarter of a perc at that time and found I could clean house top to bottom in a matter of hrs. Well is over three years later ( 1 1/2 of snorting) and our lives are out of control. Non step fighting, spending all our time trying to find them, and just in a brain fog. Well enough was enough and its been three days for both of us. Question is when will these withdrawals go away. Ive tried getting off before and this has been the easiest so far. but my legs are killing me and the urge to get more wont stop running through my head. Today is the 15th..the 15th is when my mother n law gets 120 percs from the doc! wow i just need a little support. its tense in the house right now, nothing has been done, fast food for everyone, and its the biggest task just to get the kids back and forth to school. we have been down to low doses lately before stopping on the 13th..just how much longer! i have to function and soon!

You are doing great!  I know the feeling about taking something.. my mind is playing that with me too.   I just keep thinking back to what I went through to get them, counting how many left, etc.  Today I worked in my son's 1st grade class and I was sitting cutting out gingerbread men (Thank goodness my coordination is back some) I thought about how in the past I would have reached into my pocket to grab a pill (or 3).  Regardless of where I was at.  It was a real eye opener for me.  We cannot go back.  Keep posting!

I've been addicted to many drugs.  All, I guess except drinking.  Because of my several ortho operations, I've been hooked on most of the pain killers at one time or another.  From Vicodin to all, even Xanax.  The last few years the problem has been tramodol.  Getting this from the net groups, is easy.  Too easy.  When I tried a UDT, uniform drug test, my Norco showed up as an opiod, (getting that legally).  What I thought was tramodol came up as PCP!!!  They are not selling us tramodol, but mfg. their own pills and using that animal trank. PCP.  This is really, really dangerous.

Now I'm clearing my system of this crap.  I believe the Norco will help me thru.  I've cut down the tramodol/pcp as much as possible.  I'm someone with a very visable occupation, so I hope I don't come apart in public.

I know I have to stop, I'm stopping, especially with the knowledge of what they truly are selling on the net.

good luck to me & all of us.  We're not so bad, just human

Vit b all 6,12, energy supply, cocnut milk water, becarful with that it gives you the runs. Look up the Thomas repice but look for the alll natural one and go get the list I think it is the richard of frank one. I got that stuff and it works great. the biggest thing is to be doing something and try not to think about it. I know it's hard but if I can do it anyone can and I am here for you

Headhead- I don't know what his GNC guy recommended but I also went to GNC.  I have been taking L-Torasine 2000 mg a day, B6 400 mg a day, Potassium, Immodium and drinking Emergen-C several times a day.  I am on day 4 and I feel pretty good.  I have tried before without supplements and wanted to put my head through a wall before I even hit day 2.  This has been much, much better!  Good Luck!

Wow...I'd really like to know the exact recipe your gnc guy gave you..ive been watching this post to see how you were going to do on day 3 as that was the day i gave up...felt like dying aand i don't mean "dying" in the sence that i can even talk about...
ANYWAY.. took the suggested protocols u see at this sight and they helped the first day and a half, but then i cudnt function..and it was serious..i cudnt even open my laptop to read along for encouragement let alone type something in for some kind of suppeort...only been on this sight for a week??? yea about that long and thought omg i wish these  people that seem so wonderful and so encouraging to others vicki? and gnarly? are two that come to mind...well i wished they were actually in my life you know?? so i'd have their number to call..i have NOBODY to talk to..just moved to the city im in now and know exactly 9 ppl so far. and besides i have ahard time asking for help anyway with anything in my life..
.so..because of that TRUE LIFE "near death experience"..i decided to taper...and i hope and pray that works for me. Before my c/t attempt? NO WAY could i taper...if it was available...i would "pop" it you know? and when i'd try to taper??crazy..but i took MORE!!!what a lost cause i am...is what i was thinking..and still do quite a bit of time when i fail..
so if i do fail with this taper that i'm only on day 2...

WHAT DID YOUR GNC GUY RECCOMEND??

I was depressed before I started down this pill road. So for me, I must create a different life. I can't go back to my life before the pills, otherwise I will use again. Everyones story is different but I do think aftercare is crucial if we really want to life a life without pills.

I'm with luckytwice.  Grumpy, little anxious, insomnia on and off and may have some trouble with controlling body temp....like hot then cold and then hot all over with cold feet and hands.  That's all normal!  Take super b vitamin and get some exercise.  You'll do fine! : )  Congrats again!

Good to see you are doing great.  I doubt you will get sick again. You may feel a little grumpy and tired,  maybe a little jittery at times, but that will pass shortly. Take your vitamin supplements, vitamin C and they will help with all that a bit.

You won't be out of the woods for a long time...
The worse of the worst should almost be over, but then you will have post acute w/d to deal with - cold sweats, night sweats, insomnia, weakness etc. Some people are over it within a month.. but I've never felt right... EVER.
It took a good year or 2 to feel somewhat normal again..  and I never got over the excessive sweating.

Yeah, you want to be careful with the sleeping pills if they are prescription ones.  If not, then they are not as bad to worry about.  Congrats on day 3!  Keep it going!

HI for the size of your habit your doing great ....having to work threw it isent necessarily bad it takes your mind off how lousy you feel you right in the heart of acute withdrawal it shouldent get worst although the lack of sleep will make you feel a bit more run down sleep and energy are the last things to retun plan ahead and look up some N/A meetings in your area or other forms of aftercare you only want to do this once keep posting for support by the weekend you should be threw most of it but be ready for the mental stuff like Tram was talking about good luck and God bless......Gnarly

Hey man I'm right there with you.  Day 2 for me as well, mind you not as high a dose as you.  How have you been so far?  Last night was really rough for me, and today I just feel like complete ****.  Foggy head, dizzy, aching, but I'm happy I haven't puked yet lol.  Let me know how you're doing, and let's get through this together.  I remember what life was like before the drugs, and just want to be back to that point.  Stay strong.
