Roxy Withdrawals and DESPERATE for help!

Hello. I used to be hook on Oxycontin but have been clean for about 5 yrs until this past month. I visited my hometown and proceeded to smoke about 80 30mg Roxy pills over a 25 day period. I have since left and came back "home" where I have no mental desire to go back to Roxy's, but I am being ravaged by WITHDRAWALS. I smoked my last one on Wed. night, felt pretty rough on Thursday(hot/cold, fatigue), even worse yesterday when I started having weird bowel movements and then I woke up this morning to it all. Puking, diarrhea, cold/hot flashes. I have been able to get about 5 hours of rest a night, but I am wondering if there is any in-home remedy I can do to ease the pain? I am pretty poor, doctor/rehab is NOT an option. I will NEVER go back to these terrible things, but is there a easier way to go through this? Is there a home remedy that helps that does not require me going anywhere other than the store? Do you think today is the worst day or if it will continue to get worse?? Desperate for help, and grateful for ANY and ALL advice!

I've been on methadone four years but had been coming off one year and now completely off two days. I have gotten into alot of meditation and lucid dreaming lately. It might sound stupid but it takes your mind off things. If you are interested search reecejones87 on YouTube. He is amazing for that stuff. But drink ALOT of water. To clense your system *prefferably filtered* Even if you have to force it down. Do not nap during the day. I repeat DO NOT because if you do. There's no chance your sleeping at night.  Good luck!

Hi and welcome; see bottom right side of this page, Thomas's Recipe, and Amino Acid Protocol..these vits, supplements etc..will help ease symptoms. Immodium is good..also Gatorade. Sorry to hear that you relapsed. It happened, your are away from them..people, places and things...maybe consider aftercare? NA.? Everyone is different, but it's safe to say that you are looking at 5 -7 days of feeling crappy, it'll get easier. Stay determined..this is 2/3 mental and 1/3 physical. I hope you feel better as soon as possible. Get yourself those supplements. I've heard that they are mostly available at Walmart. Whey protein drink (at Walmart 2 lb container $15) that is filled with amino acids..I've heard the chocolate flavor is good. It is important to feed your body and your brain right now.

Thank you guys. I can't do the Thomas recipe cuz I can't get my hands on any prescriptions. Today is day 4. My legs ache and feel like jello, my diarhea (diarrhea) is not nearly as bad as yesterday so far, and I feel like I can actually eat some food. Took some nyquil last night and probably slept from 11 till 4 with ease, and then off and on until 10. Do you think the worst is over?? I appreciate the help guys!!! For REAL!!

Nevermind the other Thomas Recipe I read had valium in it. I can get all that stuff at walmart?

Most everything..I think the Hylands Restless Leg Syndrome is at GNC..call Walmart..see if they have it. You don't need to take the valium. Yogi Kava Relaxation tea is good instead.Then attiril (valerian root, melatonin) for sleep.
Let us know how you are doing, ok?

I did the thomas w/o the tranks.  It works great w/o it.  The tranks are to put you to sleep for the first days or so and you are already past that.  You are getting close to the end of the really hard part of w/d.  Once you get to feeling better the "cravings" and your brain will start to talk to you.  Do NOT listen.  They WANT the drugs and will try to convince you to use.  Stay strong.  As others have stated it is 1/3 hard work and 2/3 mental.  The mental is by far the hardest.  When you get that feeling come here and post!  It really helped me stay clean.  I am at day 28 and can't believe it.  

you are doing a great job..keep it up!  It is so worth it.

You guys are a true blessing. My body aches today, I have ZERO energy, but the diarrhea is not nearly as bad, although my stools are still loose. I have been able to eat some bananas and granola bars with ease. I am SUPER depressed and tear up randomly which NEVER EVER happens to me!!! I still have not left because walmart is about a 30 minute drive. What do you recommend I do from this point on? You guys ROCK!
