Hey ....congrats on flushing them thats a big step in the right direction no remember what I told you....''you just got to be ok without being ok for a wile'' you will make it threw this 14 hr is a great start your going to start feeling it here soon if you ant already remember a hot soak goes a long way to releave symptoms...rent a few movies your going to be up all night
it will give you something to do....if you believe in God prayer is very helpful when its 3am and your up shaking he's all you got...if you can get up to walmart or walgeens and pick up some stuff called highlands restful legs....it all natural so you can take as much as you need
it will really help when your legs seam to have a mind of there own...where out here to help so keep posting if you have any questions just ask ....Ill wait to here back from you
hang in there and just know you can do this............Gnarly
Flushed. Well lets start this all over again. I'm about 14hrs without having an oxycodone, again I know thats not much but its working its way towards a day ya know? Thing thats going to suck but may be good at the same time is I have a softball gm tnt and a tournament tmw so this may help but if i'm starting to w/d it may suck at the same time. Either way I have ZERO oxycodones around to fall back on.....
HI.....do yourself a favor and flush what you have left....its just going to stand in the way of progress here....now you can do what you want but you will be 2 days ahead if you flush them now...we will walk you threw this as you go along but you need to start first
I truly believe this is a battle one or lost in ones own mind....the best thing you can bring to the table is a positive attitude ....try not to let fear into the equation it only makes it worst and its always worst in our minds then it turns out to be....remember this is 1/3 physical 2/3 mental be ready to fight on both fronts get comfortable with the saying ''you just got to be ok without being ok for a wile'' you will understand it as you go threw this...also keep in mind that most of the symptoms are only temporary in about a week you will be past most of this
to truly get free you need to get involved with aftercare like N/A or A/A or a substance abuse conslor but we need to change the very way we think to get past all of this will talk more about this as you go threw this....keep posting and reading the posts good luck and God bless.....Gnarly
ok well I f'd up. I have 10 pills left and I went 17 hrs without taking any (usually I'll take them every 8 hrs or so) and didn't really have any W/D symptoms either but I ended up taking 4, wtf? I dunno if this is normal to stumble at least once when you first try to come off but I would assume its not unheard of. So I left a msg on my Drs. personal machine, telling him I thought I was addicted and was going to come off of them on my own. This will at least mean I will not be able to obtain an RX from him which will help my mindset knowing I won't be able to get them anymore. I have 6 left and I honestly think its going to be too hard to start without finishing them. So I figured 4 for today is better then the usual 7-10. Tomorrow I'll try and go as long as I can and if I fail again i'll taper (i know you really can't taper for 2 days but) with 3 tmw and 3 saturday. After then there will be none around to get my hands on, hopefully this makes it easier. Sorry to disappoint....
3rddayoff is so right, it can creep up on you fast. I also jumped up from 100 mgs of oxy to 200 and only in a matter of days. You are in it--but not too deep YET. Do your detox, get the Thomas recipe stuff and hunker down. You'll feel crappy for a few days but will quickly see the light at the end of the tunnel. Please go for that light and never ever look back at pills. I was told this but didn't listen. 2 yrs later im in so deep, so hardwired for opiates my mind can barely function now off oxy but wrestling with sub... It's a road to hell these pills and that warm, fuzzy high is long gone yet the pills themselves have their hooks in me. I'm warning you and please listen. I wish I did. This addiction has brought me to my knees and it will bring you to yours if you don't turn back now.
Glad you decided to quit. Wd's may be tough but it is well worth going through. Good luck and God Bless!!!! You can do it!!!!
Yeah, I wish I'd have quit after a few months. I can't believe I've let it go on this long. And the life mistakes ....
Stop your life mistakes before you make them.
You are wise to recognize the need to quit now (and you are lucky) - In the big picture, your use - although progressing, has been pretty minimal and short-term - that definately works in your favor.
I would venture to say that the mental addiction could pose more of a problem for you than physical symptoms at this time...if you have physical withdrawals, I would expect them to be minor.
I abused opiates for many years off and on...much like you over the past few months...I did not suffer withdrawals during those times even though my use was high, I would use heavily for 3 or 4 months then stop. When I stopped, I missed the energy and efficiency I felt the pills created...but rest assured that does not last.
Please stick with your decision to stop because once you cross over to being an addict, you cannot go back...you constantly work for your recovery. Read some of the posts around here - there are as many lives ruined due to opiate/opioid addiction as crack. Pills are evil and can turn you into someone that you will not want to be.
The health pages on the right offer good natural remedies if you do feel bad...continue to post as there are many wonderful people here to offer support, knowledge and encouragement.
Best of luck, keep us posted -
Peace
Thanx bro. Yeah I actually haven't had a oxycodone since like 4am. I know its only 15 1/2 hrs but its a start right?

I will be honest its tough but verry doable and the reward is amazing......
If u dont stop NOW It will be sooo tought BELEIVE me I know
Frig it do it.. u can.....
Sometimes its hard to get ahold of ppl here but re post or start a new tred
Thanx for the reply. Yeah I def. am upping too much too fast. I really don't think my Dr. would be ok to talk to about it and i'm really not interested in substituting one for another like suboxtux (however its spelled). How did your withdrawals go?
Good idea to want to quit.......
U are upping your dossage verry fast and I strongly tecomend quitting...It only gets worst TRUST ME!!! As I can see in the encrements of your dosage, your are both physically and mentally hooked.
Do u have a good dr and can u talk to him about it...He can give u a list of tools needed to quit.
But the good news is youre in luck...This is a great forum
Theres this thing called the Thomas recepie that is verry helpfull..You may wanna check it out.
I remember going from 100mg of oxyxontin to 200 mg in like 2-3 months...It grows like a bad weed
Good luck and dont be shy to ask me anuything on your way to recovery
Peace
