Well, I went to the doctors

Question

I went to the doctors just now and told him about the high blood pressure and the anxiety of the medication, I told him that I had been taking it since May of last year and that I didn't want to take them anymore. I told him that I took it for the pain but that it didn't work for the pain, but I was still taking it. So, he is giving me busbar for the anxiety, nothing for the insomnia and told me to taper it out by hours not by strength. I suggested medications that I heard help with WD's from norcos and he said not to any of those. So, I need to know, besides what is on the Thomas recipe, (I have about 20 bucks to spend), what should I get because this is going to be a hell ride. I have 12 pills left, and I am scared as hell. I already have immodium, I have about 13 diazapam (I took those responsibly and don't have a problem with them, my prescription date of receiving them was 12/13/2010), I can get the L-Tyrosine and the mineral supplements, I can get the protein shakes, and all that is on the Thomas recipe. I just need to know if there is anything I can get for highblood pressure that is not prescription because when I go through the WD's my blood pressure gets so high, I get dizzy and almost faint which brings on the panic attacks. Anything and everything friends, please.

Also, eventhough I don't want to, I am cancelling my 26 pills left that insurance wouldn't cover at the time I got the pills.

So, it's all or nothing (I can't get any norcos by prescription and I don't know anyone to buy them from) this is it.

It will prolong the experience but not by much,in the long run. I'm letting you decide here.

If this were me,knowing what I know now, I'd be flushing that junk!!

trdofbeingtrd · Answer

So it don't matter really?

I just thought that keeping it in my system even if it seemed to help, would just prolong he experience.........I honestly don't know.

Thank you Vicki595, and thanks to everyone. I will be giving an update tomorrow morning. There are about three of four people new here and the help needs to be with them. I have gotten a lot of information and feel I really have enough now (maybe after the last question I had) and now it's all about support, so those new people probably need both.

Wouldn't you rather have less days of heck??  It's not that you're wrong. It's just your thinking here...My good friend always says: It's that thinking that got you here".  Know what I mean?

It really doesn't matter in the scheme of things. 2-5 or 6-7. It's gonna bite!!  It is,however,very liberating to dump pills. It feels good. It makes us feel strong and optimistic.   I support you no matter what you do!

Hehe, I just answered your other post. I bought garlic pills, they are supposed to help. Also if you look online there are other things like licorice and fish oil that I think can help. Like I said, I will bump your post, but I am sure now that they see this also, they will be able to answer your post.

I'm trying to learn from others as I go through the same thing but I'm confused. Take Xanax or something like it? How can you control already high blood pressure? That is my main concern while detoxing. Currently 181/101and feeling pretty bad.

trdofbeingtrd · Answer

See, this is what I was thinking, and correct me if I am wrong please. I was thinking that if I took 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening, instead of going from 2 to 5 days of Heck, it would be like 6 to 7 days of Heck.

So it would prolong the agony if I was to use a minimal amount when doing this?

Like just make it last longer keeping them?

vicki595 · Answer

Let's see:  dispose/use   dispose/use   LOL  Laughing with you...I vote for dispose and go for it. I'm not one to prolong agony.

However,I think you'll really suffer needlessly if you stop smoking right now. I know about the B/P issue but there's the withdrawal issue. That's a dilema. Well,B/P comes first so goodbye cigs!

trdofbeingtrd · Answer

Should I just dispose of the rest of my pain pills, or use them. I only have the 9, so I would have to take like 2 at a time, one in the morning, one at night.............I don't know if it will help, does anyone know if it will?

I got garlic pills, potassium pills, but did not get the L-thyisine, and, as of tomorrow, I won't be smoking because it makes my blood pressure go sky high.....................

YAY, two WD's, YAY

hehe, I am getting the happiness out while I can, I won't be laughing tomorrow

vicki595 · Answer

L-lysine is good,too. An amino acid and an essential building block of protein. You can't go wrong taking it,as well!

trdofbeingtrd · Answer

Will do for sure.

It is L-lysine.........collagen/tissue renewal............>.>


I will be back on after I pick up my wife.

vicki595 · Answer

I agree with Laurel...no L-tyrosine/caffeine. I was just thinking...You weigh about 130 pounds right? ( I try to pay attention ).  Do this: check your B/P for a baseline. If it gets any higher than that,call the Doc.   Be sure to get those fluids in. Apple juice and gatorade and water.

laurel453 · Answer

sorry, but i don't know what is L-Lyson , i have never heard of it. what does the label say ?

vicki595 · Answer

Generally and personally, a high B/P is always of concern. Keep an eye on it and call the Doctor ASAP if it gets high. Fainting can be a problem for you if you're alone,you know?

Don't make me worry about you!!   If your B/P gets over 140/90,call the Doctor,please. Or if you're just not feeling well you should call.

trdofbeingtrd · Answer

I got L-Lyson accedently...........................

I will take those tips though for sure, and thank you.

What does L-lyson do?

laurel453 · Answer

I would be extra careful with the ltyrosine since your Bp is already high and it makes some people feel jittery , the same with caffeine. People with high blood pressure are adviced to avoid red meat, eggs, dairy and since they are good sources of this amino acid, it may not help you with your goal of not increasing your already high pressure taking these ltyrosine pills. The garlic pearls are good,  try also  a hot bath for 10 minutes with a cold compress on your forehead before going to bed, it is a temporary remedy but it could help you with it ....walking is also good... apple juice, vegetables

Good luck :)

trdofbeingtrd · Answer

Thanks, I get what you are saying. I think having the 12 pills is almost a joke. I have made up my mind to take 2 in the morning and 2 at night for three days, or I can just toss them right now (when I say toss, I mean go to the local pharmacy and have them dispose of them). I don't know how much of a difference it will make. 

I have my stuff, and I will be getting garlic pills later on when I go to pick up my wife. I have all the ingredients for the Thomas recipe now and I even have the buspar for my anxiety if it gets to bad.

Thank you for your support man, and to the rest of you. I will for sure have questions as I go through this, please help me out, like you have.

Hey dude just know your going to make it will all be here to help you threw garlic pills may help with the blood pressure but mine was high when I went threw it also it goes back down to normal once its over in about a week to 10 days my doctor said not to worrie about it because it was caused by the withdrawals and he wasn't consired because it would only be a short period of time...that was his take on it....I asked for clonadine but he said no to it 
try not to read anything into this and do your best not to let fear into the equation its alway worst in your mind then it turns out to be...look at like this in 4 to5 days you wont be chained to a pill bottle any more remember this is all about attitude  hang in there dude dont let the anxiety of doing this eat you alive.............Gnarly
