Percocet is taking over my life

[Perculator]

Need the hope and tools to quit before i lose my family and wife.  also my health i take more then 100mgs a day!!!  I am ashamed of myself.  I want to just stop but i cant.  Do not have any reason for taking sorry for the people who really need it, I take for recreation

Its ok you have come to the right place. We are here to help you.  How long have you been on these meds. Are you prepared to go cold turkey or are you going to taper or do you have a game plan at all?  There are a few ways we can suggest.  What are you thinking?  Which way were you thinking about going?  Have you read some of the other posts?

[Perculator]

I have been taking them for atleast three years. I try to taper then end up doing them all.  I always say  well i will do it the next day and the next day is groundhog day.  I also sniff them do not take orally.  Its sick i no.  My family is going to ohio on the 25 and I am staying home to detox.  I do have zanax and I want to get something as well to do a cleansing colon detox.  Hope your still online to give me some advice

[Lisa034]

Good so you will be home alone for how many days?

[Perculator]

5 days

also have zanax and seraquel to sleep because have quit for only 3 days but started again because i was up for three days straight could not sleep at all.  So is it ok to just knock myself out, will not take to get high just to be comfortable.

Ok, get your boxing gloves on because you are in for the fight of your life~~to save your life~~    5 days is a good start.  The worst part will prob be the first 3-4 days.  Now xanax and seraquel I do not know about some use it some dont. We did not. Just be careful because remember we are addicts.  A lot of people on here say valaren root is a good help for sleep. (work with me my spelling *****)  Also I read your other post and it does not matter how you do it snort, pop, inject it all get to your system and the end result is the same. My daughter just woke up  I have to change diaper and get a bottle   be back in about 10min

[Lisa034]

Ok I am back. Just to give you a little history, my boyfriend is on day 15 of going cold turkey from a 7-8year perc addiction.  He was up to about anywhere from 10 to 15 pills a day. Sometimes more if he had just got his script.  So the advice I am giving you is evertyhing that we are going thru right now. Plus I have been clean from the same addiction since March 12th 2009 except I was taking about 30 or so pills a day. So anyways back to you, I am glad you will be home alone that way there is nobody to bother you and nobody for you to take your **** out on.  Over the next few days (on the 25th once you start to detox) you will feel like you have the worst flu you have ever had in your life. You may have bathroom problems, as well as cramps, insomnia, rls, your whole body will hurt.  You will have zero energy. You may just want to stay in bed for a few days.  You will be alone so you dont even have to take a bath if you dont want to but hot baths do help the leg cramps and the muscle aches. My boyfriend stayed in the bath alot. As soon as the water got cold we would drain and fill back up with hot hot hot water.  Ok so for the bathroom issues you can get imodiam and for everything else there is a recipe called the Thomas Recipe. If you look to the bottom of this page on the right hand side you will see it. There you will find all the indgredients and how and when to use them.  Everybody says it helps.  If I were you I would go out and get everything you need now that way you do not have to go out of the house in the middle of feeling like ****.  Let me know how it goes. Make sure you keep posting   The people here will help you.

hello I read your post and think you have another one i wrote on. Like Lisa said get ready wont be easy at all. But if you really want it you can do it.. She is right day 3 and 4 are awful. Use the xannax to help w/sleep because once w/d start the sleep goes to. I also use to snort and when I stopped my nose hurt like he!! for about week. I put triple antiboic creme in it w/q tip also cleaned out salt water and helped some the neo helped most put little on end q tip and rub all around now you may not have nose hurt if not your lucky. Also on w/d hot showers help sweating gets all toxins out faster the better, Look up thomas reciept that helps a lot of people. I wish you the best of luck and God Bless you message me if you like private or on post either way. You have to stay strong your legs going cramp, feel like flu but DO IT FOR YOURSELF AND FAMILY.... ~~H~~
Ever thought about game plan how you want to do this its best to have a game plan and that way you know what your doing....

yea its ok knock self out if you can sleep the better. I did a 7 day detox at hosp once and for 4 day they kept me pretty medicated up. Trazadone at bedtime 100mg, 3x valium a day, something for rls so it wasn't as bad as if i had been awake whole time. By day 5 i was kinda ok just shaky
