Need help.. Scared of wd.
So I'm out of meds, oxys about 200mg a day. Today is detox day one. I already have the restlessness in my legs. I can feel myself chickening out as I write this... I really need some support. I have clonidine and trazodone. Some 600 mg Tylenol.. But nothing for the rls. Someone please give me some support, I'm 23 and in pretty good shape but feel like crying like a little baby... I'm loosing my hold. Please anyone!
Next to the shower and indoor commode, the heating pad has got to be the best invention ;) I am laying on the heating pad too. For some reason, I have a bunch of knots all in the muscles of my upper back. Bleh.
Well, at least you got through today! You did it! I'm very proud of you.
Music helps me, too. I crank it up every morning on my way to work.
Take care of yourself,
Minn :)

Congrats on working towards getting your life back. I know how hard it is but it can be done, I and many others here are living proff of that fact.
It is a long journey but you sound like you have the right attitude and that's a huge part of the battle. I read that you are getting counseling that is another great leap forward. Remember you are doing this for yourself first and others second and that how you need to do it.
Keep it up and keep fighting the good fight as it will all be worth it when your through. Good luck and God bless---Rick

hooked up the heat pad, feels amaaazing lol...otherwise still battling through it, made it through class today. thank god it was an early day. went to the dr told me to just hack it out now lol... thanks ****. but yea he also got me in touch with a counsellor. got some pump up beats for the car and the ipod... swear couldnt make it through this without it. music always seems to get me feeling at least a little better for a bit... sounds awesome lol. but yea not looking forward to tonight... thats what gets me the most. knowing i need sleep but knowing its not going to happen lmao... cant win. but gonna man up and just get through it. everyone knows now so its something to be shooting for considering i dont want to dissapoint them more then i already have. realized its me that can make it better. got to take care of it.

hey. just read your post. im 9 days off of lortab. took 10-12 day for 5 years. detoxed inpatient. feeling better but just feel so depressed. im on an antidepressant. just feel numb. please reply.
If you feel like losing it this is a great place but I went to ER and was on same amount. Almost chickened out. They will help but be HONEST
In class today and the rls are killing me.,. Driving me insane sitting in class. The only thing I look forward to is going out smoking and coming back to class. I'm going insannne!!!!
Oh, I definitely understand! I was working and going through wd. It was so freaking hard. I posted here a LOT. Just take each minute, and hour at a time and be sure to relax when you can and be good to yourself. I am getting ready to leave for work and I still suffer with anxiety about that. We'll make it through together.
Take care and God bless,
Minn

Made it the first night.... Was awfull. The restlessness is really getting to me.. I have class this morning at 9 which I'm not looking forward to what so ever.... Bah I feel terrible!
Congratulation on deciding to quit. You can do it! I'm on day 8 of being off my meds & it does get easier. Yeah, detox & the w/ds suck - but the worst is over after 5 days (or at least it was for me) This site is a godsend - just post whatever you're thinking/feeling & someone will respond with support!
just want to give you some support. Again all great posts above and it can be done. I'm 55 days of hydros today and my little sister recently told me she has stopped her oxy abuse which was pretty high along with a score of other pills also and I seriously thought she would die rather than stop as she loved it. If you can just endure the detox, think of it as the worst flu ever or the worst food poisoning ever which you can't do anything about but endure. Get yourself some after care for support and change of habits. You have lots of people here to support you! I wish you the best and rememer to take good care of yourself through this tough time. we are all pulling for you!
Ive been using recreationally now cuz my pain is gone, yet I still get them... Canceled the scripts. And I'm sure as hell not paying what they want for them on the street. I' quit in nov for a month and been back on them since... About 200 mg a day... I'm having a terrible time getting past the physical and mental anguish. I feel like my head is going to explode.
You have already got a bunch of great advice but I just wanted to stop by and offer some support. I jumped off CT from 250-300mg's a day of oxy. Like others have said it will be rough to start but if you truly want this then it can be done. Follow the Thomas recipe as others have mentioned. It really helps.

Hi, so good that u want to quit! Today is my second day off methadone, so I know what u mean about the restless legs! I've been up all night AGAIN! Just try to keep thinking it's only temporary, it WILL get better! Someone on here once told me it's much easier if u just surrender to it, the only way out is through it!......Teri :)
Im so proud of you for making a smart intelligent decision to stop. i am also a oxy abuser. i like to take three to four 60s a day. and snort some roxies too. so i know how scared you are. i completely understand. even tho I've stopped twice now. i still struggle.
im not gonna sugar coat it for you. this is the worst drug to detxox from. other than methadone or subs. you will be sick for some days. around day five it should lighten up.
Can you give me some more info?? how long did you abuse?? Why?? and do you have chronic pain or was a rec user?? im not judging you when i ask these questions. i want to help you. so just give keep some info so i can give a sort of time line for you. ok?? did you snort or iv the pills?? or take by mouth?? If you can answer my questions it will help me and others guide you thru. this info is important so we can discuss a game plan. and tell ya what to expect.
Do me a huge favor please! think of this is a positive thing. don't feel ashamed. or guilty. don't let those negative thoughts take over your head. attitude plays a huge part in recovery.
be proud of yourself...you are a smart person who just admitted you need help. and that's Tue best thing you have done. also saying you want to quit for yourself is the right answer. to quite for oneself is the only way this is gonna work.
Remember that saying no pain no gain?? keep thinking that. ok??
Did you stock up on the Thomas recipe?? do you have imodium ?? please please get some. you will need it. the liquid kind is best. and don't cheap out and buy generic. take it from a detxox expert ....I've devoted from this drug so many times I've lost count.
i have had 90 days clean. had a relapse. and am on day 17 today. if i can do it...you can too. here's my hand brother....take it and let us help ya stand up.
Post post post. it don't matter what you say. scream cry...whatever. we've all been thru h e l l and back....
I am ajar addict that chooses not to use or get high today....i promise no more....bama

Good that you told the important people in your life. I believe you can do this. Get ready with vitamins and supplements. We'll be here. Congratulations on deciding to stop and take your life back. :)
it s always nice to have ppl who love u around. it really helps man. Congratulations and welcome to a better life. i hope all goes well brother. stay strong. keep urself hydrated.
Quitting cuz I want to this time... This has to stop. I can't live hiding secrets from people who mean the world to me anymore. I told my dad and my gf just now.... Funny cuz my dad knew somehow but my gf really didn't have a clue.... Felt awful but she understood and is going to help me. I know this is going to be a struggle... But this time I'm in it for the long haul.. I have school all next week which will be tough. But I can't miss it and I gotta just battle through it. This time feels different. Having people who care might be just what I need to kick the stuff for good... Please keep the support I need every bit of it at this point.
sometimes it s good to cry man. have u planned consulting a dr. i would advice u should. it s hard quitting cold turkey. but eventually it s worth it. i hope u r quitting it bcos u really want to .... not bcos u r out of stock. no offence. u might get the urge and u sure will............. that is the time u got to stay strong and focused. quitting is hard but what is harder is staying clean. i wish u all the best bro.
God bless u
take care..............gunnu

Brother you made a good choice. who are going to have 3 or 4 rough days. I'm off the oxy 12 days today. there will be others on this site later with very good advice very good knowledge hang in there keep reading keep posted. welcome and I'm right here besideyou
Hi and welcome. I'm not going to sugar coat it. You are in for a rough time. Are you quitting because you want to or because you are out? Not judging, but you really have to want it for yourself. Quitting because you have to will probably not work. You may make it through the wd but if you don't have a plan, as soon as the meds are available you will be tempted to go back. I recommend you take the supplements in the Thomas recipe and find some sort of aftercare group. It doesn't have to be NA, there are lots of different types of programs out there.
Posting here helps me a lot. I hope you keep posting and vent when you need to.
