I need help with opiate withdrawal

[rocksteady]

ok heres my story. I have suffered from serious back pain caused by spinal stenosis for about 8 years. for the last 2 years, i have been taking percocet in the strength of 5/325. I usually take 4-5 over the course of a 20 hour day. my Dr. writes me a rx for 120 every month. I am at the point where i want to stop relying on painkillers, and the anxiety that comes with " what do i do if i run out early?".... does anyone know of any over the counter, or natural meds that will help with the withdrawal symptoms?? mainly its the physical aches and pains that im concerned with...stuff like aleve, and other otc pain meds never did anything for me really..and im going to be hurting enough when im off these just with the back pain alone...so any advice would be appreciate beyond comprehension...thank you.

i don't know much about the thomas recipe - but i am sure that if you make a new post on the forum, other members will be around to help you with this. most of the time, when someone posts on a post from years ago, it gets overlooked. best of luck!

Please answer this,

Okay so I'm going to do the Thomas Recipe tomorrow (coming off opioids) but I don't quite understand something. When do I start taking the L-Tyrosine? Is it saying to take Valium (in my case, Ativan) right when you wake up in the morning, for FOUR days? If that's the case then what do we do about our aching bodies for those four days? When I say aching, I actually mean DYING. I'm very sure that Ibuprofen and Aleve will NOT take the excruciating lower back and neck pain away. Someone please help me out, thank you!

Sincerely,
Detoxing tomorrow

If you've only been on for a couple of months, you should not experience serious withdrawl givent the amount you were taken. Honestly, you are moreso going to "miss" your euphoria that most of us long time 160mg a day or more users don't even get anymore. You will be fine by just taking a lot of vitamin c and B and eat banannas and some immodium IF you even get the diareah.  You are one of the lucky ones b/c I am in a vicious cycle of denial, wanting to get off, not wanting to get off(the fear of letting it go).It's just HELL! Get off now and good luck!! :)

Ps: if you are thinking about suboxone or subutex ...don't I would rather have 10 tab withdrawals than how I feel and when people ask about your clean time you will always feel like barry bonds or mark mcgwires homerun records like there is a big fat asterik "well I'm clean but technically"
