DONT THINK LIKE THAT  everyone can recover you may just find it take's abit longer that you thought. Have you planned a way of coming of them? are you going to taper or cold turcky. have you thought about rehad - detox? i'm not big on rehab myself but some people find it's there answer were all different with the same illness addiction. 10 year's is a long time just like me 13 years on herion plus many other drugs along the way. but thios sight is the best it's addictive honestly lol. Just take 1 day at a time before you no it you'll be well cut down or totally clean if you deside to go C/T good look keep posting theres plenty ov help on here nat xx

I freaked out the first time I started reading the horror stories too. But anything is possible if you put your mind to it.

Do as much research as you can and get educated on what youre fighting.

Make a plan. Don't stop researching until you come up with a good plan.       It took me 9 months to find a plan that I'm confident is going to work!!  Hopefully your not as lame me  BUT I have a plan finally and going to do it! Good Luck and everyone here really helps alot...

I agree with what the others have said.  You're not doomed.

I used to be on a Fentynal patch, and went off it cold turkey, which felt okay because I still had the other opiates on board (oral Oxycontin), as you do.  My body took a few days to adjust, but it wasn't that bad.  Since then, I've been working on tapering my Oxy use.  First I cut out the "extras", the ones I would bite open so they would release all at once.  Then the 5mg capsules my doc had prescribed as PRN for when the pain was bad - had to cut those "boosts" out, too.  Now I'm working on tapering the extended release pills.    

You don't have to do it all at once.  Some people prefer to do it that way, but it sounds like you're pretty scared, using words like "doomed."  There really is a way out of this, though.  There are numerous routes, in fact.  You get to decide what you think will work best for you.

You are definitely NOT doomed.  My husband and I were doing 2-3 Oxy 80's a day at the height of our addiction.  It took him doing a year in jail for him to get clean and I had to lose my kids 3 times to social services before I checked into a detox program, 30-day rehab and a 6 month long term facility after that.  He now has 2 years clean and I have 13 months.  We have gotten our children back and are both active in NA.  Please DO NOT give up!  The withdrawl is bad...that's why I wnet to detox, couldn't handle it....but its worth it!  Good luck!  YOU CAN DO THIS!!!

I too only took 3 or 4 oxycodones a day and only for 8 months-but I feel it. I am tapering-as going over forums I got a bit worried myself. I took a lot of advice through these forums-as these people are here to help (they are some great people-to come on and share and support). I did a big jump (to me) from 40mg a day to just 7.5- and stayed there for 4 days-now down to five mgs a day for a few days. I will go to 2.5 before I just stop. I am no expert, by far-and haven't been down the road alot of these people did-but it seems to me as I taper that I am not getting the "mental" high that I did-and that is what I don't want anymore. I took it for pain-herniated disc in neck-then surgery, day after surgery I broke my hip. I still have a broken hip-and there is pain. I would rather take non-narcotics after all this. I felt tapering was best for me-and am praying it works-so far so good-and I think withdrawals are easier. JM

You are not doomed, but will be pretty uncomfortable for several days, so make preparations! Stock up on vitamins, water, immodium, take HOT baths, and whatever else anyone can come up with.

There is light at the end of the tunnel...I promise!!
