IN A WHOLE LOTTA PAIN!!

WELL, I HAD MY DENERVATION PROCEDURE DONE YESTERDAY...AND TODAY I AM MISERABLE.  IT HURT WHILE THEY WERE DOING IT BUT THE GAVE ME 10MG OF VALIUM AND BOY WAS I IN THE CLOUDS..LOL.  I AM CURRENTLY STILL TAKING THE PERCOSETS ABOUT 4.5 TO 5 A DAY.  MY PM DOC KNOWS ALL ABOUT IT.  IN FACT, HE PRESCRIBED ME TO TAKE NO MORE THAN 5 A DAY..10MG.  MY MOTHER IS COMING UP HERE IN A WEEK TO HELP ME TAKE CARE OF GRACE ANN AND THEN I AM COMING OFF OF THEM.  I KNOW EVERYONE ALWAYS SAYS ON HERE "DON'T TAKE ANYTHING FOR THE WD", BUT I KNOW THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING THAT WILL HELP TAKE THE EDGE OFF.  I AM AN ADDICT, BUT I HONESTLY DON'T THINK I WOULD EVER GET ADDICTED TO VALIUM OR XANEX..IT'S JUST NOT MY THING.  SO WHAT SHOULD I DO?  I AM GOING TO SET UP A WHOLE PLAN TO QUIT COLD TURKEY, NO TAPERING.  I MEAN I AM AN ADDICT, I WOULDNT BE ABLE TO TAPER.  WHAT CAN I TAKE TO EASE WITHDRAWALS?  OTC AND RX'D??  THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR RESPONSES

by the way, I would only get on suboxone as a LAST RESORT. if you've tried everything else and cannot get clean. I decided that wasn't the way to go for me either, just another drug to take and then try to get off of later... take care!!

I use xanax for the anxiety and insomnia that come with withdrawals. I KNOW a lot of people on here disagree with that because we're ADDICTS...but if you're anything like me you weren't using the perks to make you tired. You were probably using them to get high, at least eventually? I was able to do away with the xanax after about the first week and only used it in small amounts. .5 mg a night should work if you don't take it on a regular basis. I know that insomnia makes me feel crazy and xanax really does help for sleep and keeping your heart from racing. take care and congrats on trying to get clean!!!! :)

I take aleive for the pain...funny thing is, it is working almost as well as the dilaudid  and soma did.    Days 4 to 6 were terrible for me with the "flu" I had ....The very worst part was the shaking....not only my hands and legs, but my insides were like jello.  Today is day 6 or8...I felt well enough to go to the dentis and shopping at khols.....nothing helps W/D like a good sale  LOL  prayers for you ...My love   Jerri

hmmm well it depends on who u asked..i got  it from a friend and started to abuse it....well when i decided enuf was enuf i got to last pills and 1/4 them and took 1/4 a day. im now 9 days clean. some people say it should only be taken under docs care, but if it wasnt for my friend that gave it to me im not sure if i would be clean. u just have to be careful w it bc u can abuse it. ive heard alot of sucess stories on here from people that are taking it. everyone is different

I am so sorry you are in so much pain! I can't imagine how much pain that procedure causes. Have you read the Thomas Recipe & the Amino Acid protocol in the Health Pages? It will tell you how to ease the wds the best you can.... warm baths... etc...

Keep posting....that will help as well!
