i flushed the rest of my oxy...

[toomanytimes]

you have all been so kind in your advice and encouragement-its wonderful to have all of you to lean on and vent to.  i just flushed the last of my oxycodone, i can't imagine prolonging this, i just want to get it over with, and since i have a couple of days off, and i can take more if i need it, i called into work, went to see my shrink to tell her what i was doing and see if she had any extra advice, came home and flushed the rest of the pills. i had given them to my dad in little baggies to hand out to me daily, and he is going to be gone now for a long weekend, and i looked at those things and i thought- no way-gotta admit i took 2-went to the grocery store for some healthy food for the next few days and epsom salts, went to the healthfood store for some magnesium and sublingual B12 came home and flushed the rest of the  pills. so i'm down for the count. can't wait to get this over with and start to feel "normal" again-whatever that may feel like....

What a tough thing to do I did it to a couple weeks ago, you show a ton of determination and strength by doing that. Don't let the thinkin get you as I did thought to much got a lesser strength one after a couple weeks just to have to do the same thing today by getting rid of em. What a tangled web I weave!! Not near strong enough to have em within my reach. I did alright the last two days with them, but know me and my past record that will never last for me so as I said had to get rid of them this evening and here I am getting strength from you all. Hang in there! Stay strong and keep reading and posting. This site is a godsend, you people are a godsend. I could never have done that two weeks ago and not be trying to tear the pipes apart to get in them.

You've got the right attitude and sound geared up and stocked on the necessary vitamins.  

I have no doubt that you've made up your mind.  That's the toughest part really.

As long as you stay on this forum, a shrink may not be needed.  We're your angels and will help you every step of the way.

Hugzzzz!

what do you mean?

[whathefu_k]

I would not take the magnesium/calcium stuff while in withdrawl. It can give you explosive diarrhea

[toomanytimes]

this is ridiculous, i feel like i'm waiting around just waiting to feel terrible in withdrawl....

[bobby139]

YAH, way to go....you sound like you are totally ready for this, it's great you have support like you do. Try to remember when the w/d get bad why you are doing this and you are stronger then the pills are, and the w/d are letting you know how bad they really are, to do that to your body....
We will all be here if you need us, keep us posted, it really helps, I'm in the middle of it myself but tappering and the people here are great I couldn't do it without them, thats for sure. pm if you want.......
Good Luck :)

Thats great you have such a wonderful doctor.  You are really blessed to have such good care!  Keep counting your blessings and it will help you get thru this.  You have so much to be thankful for and you will reap all those benefits even all the more when you get thru the withdrawls.  Keep thinking positive and it will be much better for you. Remember that this was your choice and you DONT want to take the meds and you are incontrol and  you even flushed the meds.  Remembering this will help you for when the wd's are done and you feel better and get tempted to take the meds again.  I think saying over and over to yourself that you DONT want them will help you to stay positive about your choice and strength to quit. ~ Peace!

i haven't had RLS so bad yet-legs just started getting a bit achy today-i hope i can keep it from not getting soooooo bad

[mimi1313]

Those should really help. You're lucky to have a doctor so concerned. Good luck this weekend. The worst of the physical will be over in a few days. The RLS are the worst, aren't they?

[toomanytimes]

my shrink said i COULD take the L-tyrosine and 5htp with my antidepressant (cuymbalta), along with the rest of the aa's listed on the amino acid protocol, to take Kyo-Green 3-4 times a day (she had already told me about it), she gave me a B-12 injection, told me to put the whole container of epsom salts in the tub when i get rls (legs were already starting to ache) and to take the clonidine she had prescribed and the dicyclomine (bentyl) if i need it, she adjusted my neck and releived the sore spots by manipulation. Said she had been worrying about me all week, was glad i was there and to stay in the tub .  : )
