Question about roxicet addiction

I have been addicted to the little blue pill for a month now and am trying to quit. I want to ask how bad will my w/ds be? Also can you give me some good tips on how I make the w/ds more tolerable?


     Thank you so much!

I wish I could help, but I've never heard of this before. Is it an opiate? benzo? I'm sure someone will be thru with more info, just be patient, its getting late. But there are a lot of great supportive people here.

[lifesaride]

how many do you take?

[Done419]

anywhere from 90-120 mg's a day. =|

[lifesaride]

yeah thats where i started, 6 months later it was 8) 80 oc's a day. best thing you can do is plan out kickin them, you'll need a good 3- 5 days.and if you can get down to one a day. even if you gotta break it in quarters,, are you swalowing them or what?

[lifesaride]

far as getting through it, its best described as the flu, if you have someone to give leg and back rubs it helps, and cry it out too. youll get through it quick

[Done419]

I've had to do this before and I got thru it with tramadol and other things I just wanted some more help. Mind you I was taking lotabs and percocets then in varying amounts. That was pretty bad too I was kist glad not to be yaking up everywhere I damn sure got the rest of the withdrawls though.


Anyt other tips to offer? Things to eat, take, and do as well as things not to eat, do, and take?.

[lifesaride]

bananas lots of them imodium (immodium), have you seen the thomas rescipe?

[Done419]

oh and I'm swallowing and occasionally snorting them.

[Done419]

Yes but I forget it. do I just google it?

[lifesaride]

yeah stop sniffing them right now. your getting the rush, i loved the rush, the drip, thats how i got to the 80s. oh by the way before i switched to 80s i was sniffin 10 to 15 30s a day

[lifesaride]

gotta hit the bed now, but keep with it and stay with this forum, lots of people here to get you through it, i'm on at least once a day, oh most important figure out why you wanted to get numb, what you were escaping from, and revisit that problem after you get your head clearly thinking. be here for ya, Teddy

Roxicodone or Roxicet (oxycodone HCL) was my DOC too.  I used to get the blue 30's and was doing between 5-10 a day.  I detox from suboxone and then I relapsed because it was so bad onto roxi's again, and the detox from oxycodone is nothing compared to suboxone.  I would also snort the roxi's too, stop doing that now.  I have serious sinus problems from 4-5 years of heavy snorting it is so irritating to always have to carry tissue around because my nose runs.  People actually think I am still using but it is just my sinus' trying to recover.  Good luck and I hope you kick this evil habit!

Endocet, Magnacet, Narvox, Percocet, Roxicet, Tylox all the same thing.

[s10sittnondubs]

I was under the impression that endocet, and percocet contain aceitomeniphen whereas roxicodone does not...Is this true?

[Done419]

yes this is true an also part of why its so easy to become addicted. reason being you know your not hurting your liver taking 10 10/500s a day. On a better note day 1 hasnt been too bad minus waking up feeling like complete **** and still somewhat am. Funny thing is taking 10 mgs of my rxd adderall (adderrall) seems to help alot. Mind you I really do NOT like taking this **** because I'm obviously a downer kinda guy.

[Done419]

can somebody please give me a good and reasonable tapering schedule please? It would be greatly appreciated

[enemy48]

I haven't read this whole thread.  I only read that you have been addicted a month.  

A month?

wow!  That's a long time fool!

Okay, I'm playing with you.  You are so lucky and intelligent to know that only after 1 month you may be entering a problem.

I wish I would have been like you.

You've come to the right place to read people's profiles (like mine) stay here, and fix yourself.

Congrats!  I wish I could have been like you.

But, sobriety is awesome. People's choice.  U have one.  Take it sweetie. Luv & Hugzz

[lifesaride]

how you doib today,?

[Done419]

today I'm alright that guys post about me being smart to realize the problem early on was really heart warming. I only took two yesterday and I'm gonna see if I can keep it at that for a week then to 1 n a half n so forth. Thank you all so much for helping me get thru this.

[worried878]

Good luck and glad u r catching it quickly..the health pages have alot of info like the thomas recipe and tapering articles....hang in there

[Done419]

i slipped up today. I'm very disappointed in myself but i know I'm getting back on schedule tomorrow. This is the hardest thing ive ever had to do in my life. its insane to think last year at this time i was in the same position and then i overdosed and you would think i'd stop it right there but i couldn't help but pop roxi's again. i dont know what im doing with myself here and i feel so guilty for what i'm doing. i'm no depressed or suicidal so don't get me wrong here i just...im extremely disappointed in myself. please keep offering me the help i need guys, everyone here has been a great support system as well as giving me good advice so thank you and please bear with me i'm trying as hard as i can. im going to kick this habit soon im really shooting for middle of the month next month with the tapering. i tried cold turkey and it was so hard yesterday i was getting hot and cold flashes as well as sweating balls the whole day. the anxiety and complete irritability was too much to bear i couldn't help but go out and get 3 of those evil blue pills to suppress the w/ds. then today i slipped up and rather than stay on my 2 pill taper schedule i couldnt hold myself back from taking three today. ugh i dont know what to do with myself i can't deal with me right now. =/, again thank you to everyone thats been helping me out i couldnt ask for better people to get me trough this so like i said please stay with me here.

[TrayCee]

Roxi's are my DOC.  Good luck, keep us posted on your progress

[Done419]

that I am. =]

[Done419]

I should of been more specific about how many I've been taking. Its actually more like 60-120mgs a day and I'm saying this now because I want to know if my body can take cutting down to one a day split in half taken throughout the day. If you or anyone else can answer thus question it'd be greatly appreciated.

[TrayCee]

Your body can take it however, you will be really sick.  How many do you have to taper with?

[Done419]

by sick you mean...?

[Done419]

wow. Feeling like über garbage today. NO oxycodone to speak of in me and its starting to take its toll in getting out although I do plan to take 2 10s soon maybe less just to alleviate myself.
