Oxycontin

[docholiday]

I have been taking vicodins for about 3 months and Oxycontins only the last month.
The vicodin I was taking about 14 a day 5-500mg and the oxy's 40mg a day.  Three days ago I stopped all of the pills and I am severly suffering cause of it, I have had some really bad withdraws (back ache, hot and cold sweats, anxiety, deperrision etc...)  What can I by over the counter to help and how long will this last, and will I feel normal again.  My doc is going to give me tyneol 3 to take the edge away, and trust me he was pissed that I stopped them without asking him, I know stupid but I didn't want to get anymore addicted to them.  Tell some pick me ups.

3 months isn't long enough abuse to need amodium and he won't be puking either.....that is not enough time to destroy the body.........

I am not trying to minimize his W/Ds but at worst he would be in stage one W/Ds.....

People freak there selves out by the stories they hear...........and then worry themselves to death....

YOu can't eat as in you have no appetite or you can't hold down food??  Those are different things.

I personally started with popsicles and bananas and worked up to cereal and soup over a few days. I ate Cheerios for at least a week. Start small.

I will promise you on the life of my cats that it gets ALOT better dear.  I would even call the doc and tell him to forget the Tylenol 3's they will just set you back from the 3 days you have gone through. Ask for some clonidine. that will help more than anything will.  I am almost at 5 months off pills and it really does get better. Keep telling yourself you never ever have to feel this way again.

You are almost through the worst at 3 days off.. Another 2 days and you will be coming out of the woods.
I HIGHLY suggest  imodium, Vitamin B complex, Vitamin C, and all the fluids you can take.

As far as anxiety and depression, If you are not currently taking anything prescribed for that, 5HTP helps depression alot and L-theanine acts like a natural valium.\

If you use the search function here, I posted two posts regarding this one was called Amino Acids and Recovery and the other was  Nutrition and withdrawals..
