Percocet Withdrawl

[kiler2008]

Are there any home remedies for this withdrawl. Mostly so I can sleep. I have all the other syptoms,I wont list them you know what they are. At first I took 20-25 a day/I used suboxone and cleaned up. Recently I find my self taking between 10 and 12 one weekend night. Here comes the withdrawl all over again. Not only did i drop this but marijuana, subboxone, xanax, and alchol,were all also dropped yesterday as well. Its day 2 and i barley made it through work. Will this last long, and will it get worse.Any help would be appreciated. I work 12 houra day.

I am for the second time comming down off of percs. flu feelings etc. i have noticed that when i took an abian at night, all the pain went away. so in the morning i took 1/2 of an ambian and it worked. no pain. i quit cold turkey twice and this time i'm using the ambian...it helps and i hope to get my knee operated on soon so i don't have to go through thins again!

Did you mean clonidine or Klonopin.  I thought clonidine was 4 high blood pressure.

If you can get some Clonidine, it will help you rest!  Going through w/d your body goes into over drive and you will not get sleep but at least you can get some rest.  It may take up to two weeks to get more than 2 hours sleep.  I know this is not what you want to hear but I tried EVERYTHING and did not get any sleep for a while.  BUT everyone is different........

My biggest concern for you is that you just stopped the xanax. This is a benzo and should be tappered from very slowly, due to the possiblity of seizures and stroke. How long have you been on the xanax?
As far as the other stuff, look into the Health pages for the Thomas receipe, that will help alittle. There is no magic cure for withdrawels except time.
Please respond back about the xanax. Going cold turkey from this can be extremely dangerous.

Be very careful about wanting something to sleep and how you go about getting it.  That is how I became addicted to Ambien.  I quit the pain meds cold turkey following a hysterectomy, but could not sleep. My doctor gave me a prescription of Ambien CR.  I thought it was harmless enough, after all the commercials said "non-narcotic".  Well needless to say, I traded one hell for another.  It was harder to break the grips of the sleeping pills than the hydros.  I almost killed myself by driving while I was totally asleep and once when I woke my husband up holding his pistol and asking "how does this work".  OMG it was a nightmare.  Good luck on the sleep.  I tried a new product they have at wal-mart called, "Sleep Fast".  I was very skeptical about it because if it wasn't prescription strength, I had my mind made up that it wouldn't work.  Well guess what. it worked great.  The website for it is www.SleepFastNow.com.  

Praying for you,
