ADDICTION: SUBSTANCE ABUSE COMMUNITY
I am playing all the parts of the Wizard of Oz

I am playing all the parts of the Wizard of Oz

At the moment I dont have the courage I need to figure out how to get out of this damn mess, even though I do. And I should be Kiiiinnnggg of the forest. I obviously dont have the brains or I wouldnt be in this mess. And where is my heart when all I think about is myself. And here I am following my yellow brick road on the internet which leads me to this forum to speak to all of you Wizards to give me the answers. Follow the, Follow the, Follow the, Follow the, Follow the MedHelp.Org. And as a man, I cant click my New Balance Shoes and make this all go away.

I quit a year and a half long addiction last November of 100 milligrams percocet CT. The last 5 months of that was at that amount. The previous time 40 to50 milligrams a day. The Drs. wanted to and gave me Tramadol, which the VA kept sending and I just threw the bottles in a drawer. 4 months later in March I am on the meds. Legitimate reason, but WTF. March to May 30 milligrams of Vicodin a day. May to now. 30 to 40 milligrams of Percocet and the Vicodin. I went through 17 days of battling the Devil to have another rematch. This is definitely not going to be a Rocky Series.
The wierd part. I get up in the morning at 4.30 for work and take 1/2 of a 7.5 vicodin. Then at noon I take the other half, thats 7.5 total. And I get home at 2.00 in the afternoon. I then take a 10 milligram percocet and a 7.5 vicoden. And then around 5 do the same thing. Some days I will take 1 and a half perc. 10s at those designated times.

My Dillema Wizards... I have in my possesion, 60 percs, by tomorrow in the mail from VA, 120 7.5 vikes and 7-8 milligram suboxone. I also have back and hip problems(no friggin excuse, but sometimes I need them).  So as smart as I am with no brain, and having fought this before and won(Temporarily). Please Wizards of Emerald City, give me a plan. No more yellow brick roads. I swear(OK Lion dont jump behind the bush). Man am I really tired of this. And that is said in all Sincerity. I want as little pain as possible this time, and my environment and living with my Dad at 49 doesnt help either. Like many of you, I do have real issues, there just has to be a better way.  Im Kicking my shoes, Theres nothing like being sober, Theres nothing like being Sober. I NEED A PLAN. I have done it once before I can do it again, but I need your help in the how much and when part as I CTd before, and would like to taper.  Thank you

How many do you take a day? If you truly want off of them then you have to take them like you are supposed to and drop a pill every few days untill you are down to none, Not saying that you arent going to have any Wd;s but it will make it better on you . If you can tell us how many you take a day then im sure that one of these wonderful people here can help you with a taper, you just have to want this more than anything or it wont work, Good luck and I will check back soon =)
