What is the best way to detox from narcotic pain killers?
I began taking pain killers recreationally two years ago. Last spring, I had a wicked back injury and was prescribed oxys and then time released Morphine. Completely disregarding my liver and the fact that I could become addicted, I was also buying anything I could get off the street, Vicodin ES, Vicodin HP, Endocet, Percoset, anything generic, and when it was't possible to get my hands on these, I would buy Oxycotin 40s or 80s. Now I'm screwed. I can't even get out of bed without eating a pain killer off of my night table. If I don't take them, I feel like I am being electrocuted. I CAN NOT FUNCTION without them -- I get cold sweats, chills, hot flashes and nausea. When I try to not take them, nothing gets done -- I am useless. The only thing I can do when I don't take them is squirm around in my bed and cry because i am so uncomfortable like a friggin junky. Since I've been on painkillers, I have become a stick figure, dropping down to 91 pounds. I don't even get "high" anymore, taking them just makes me feel normal again. I am afraid and sick now. I can't go to rehab because my family would disown me. I hate myself for this and will someone PLEASE tell me how to get this out of my life before I die because I sure feel like I'm dying. How do I detox from painkillers?
dying - the only way through this addiction is to suffer the withdrawals, if you take any opiates you'll just restart the clock. If you are on day 2 then you are probably through the worst by tomorrow and then will start feeling a little better every day. I know it s u c k s but try to endure it - for you, for your babies. You deserve a chance to live a life without pills, give yourself the opportunity.
I was taking hydros about 40-60 mg per day for 3 years and then sporadically for years before that and I am 42 days clean today. You can do it. If you go to the er and are honest with you hopefully they wouldn't give you any opiates, they could you something to help with the restless legs maybe (I can't think of the drug name right now) and IV fluids but you CAN do this at home, it just isn't any fun.
Try to psych yourself up that you just have the flu and have to ride it out. The mental part will start up once you get through the physical stuff and that can be and most times is the harder part to deal with.
Post here often for support - just ask a new question as you've posted on a pretty old thread. There are lots of us on here who recently got clean, people in the process of preparing to get clean and old timers who have lots of clean time under their belt.
It's a great support system. Don't your kids deserve the best you? Dont' you?

I take at least 10 thousands a day. This is my second day with nothing but tremadol. It's horrible I'm dying over here. I have 2 babies at home & that makes it worse. I was wondering if I go to the er if they can help me. I can't do a rehab I have no family to help with my babies. I have been taking pain bills everyday for at least 2 years. It's been about 6 months since I have detoxed. What do I do?

I have had dcf on my case about taking a drug screen I currently relapsed and was taking pain pills again I was clean for 2 years! I'm on day 2 with nothing! And it *****! But dcf was called because my ex parents hate me! Now I'm tring to get my system clean so I can give them a drug screen. What should I do I was suppose to take drug screen Saturday and didn't! What should I say to them! He is already calling me and I'm only on day 2 with nothing?
im sorry to say but suboxones are not the way too go. they may work for a minute, but you end up just as dependant on them as your opiate of choice, you're best choice is to either a. get yourself in a rehab program or b. detox yourself. suboxone are just a substitute so these doctors can keep making their money. and to let you know you can't suboxone for ever and the withdrawls from them are far worse. i'm currently constructing my own detox program where i'm going cold turkey and i've been thru it all, mass amounts of vics, oxys, percs, you name i done it. i'm done with that life style. there are different ways out then more pills, but these doctors just wanna feed em to you to put you at ease, some may wana help and if they did they'd be honest and say rehab and personal detox would be the best way to go.... but that's my opinion..... i've been doin this **** for almost 10 years... i know alil something something about this ****.
I don't know if you'll get this but please hang in there. When a family or job is on the line things become more imminent. My name is Jon but everyone calls me JK. I am 25 years old. Male. Have been addicted to opiates for almost 7 years and am just as tired. Basically sick and tired of being sick and tired. Withdrawal is almost unbearable. NA meetings always make you feel like your not alone at least. I would see a doctor to get prescribed a maintenance drug like suboxone but those can also be addictive which some don't realize. A drug like this can help if used responsibly and not for too prolonged a period of time. You need a higher power in your life whether its Jesus, Buddha, Satan, etc., that you can pray to or confide in. It's a long standing process. After while your body will return to normal but it takes time. It's not fun or pleasant. It's a battle. There are ways to overcome this dreaded disease. If interested in talking, email me at ***@****. I happened to be scrolling through and saw your cry for help. I know how it feels to have people who don't understand you or let alone know how to help you. Then you're stuck doing it on your own feeling trapped in the world. I'm not too computer savvy and don't check my email as often as i like which is why I've left my number but if you're interested and would like to leave me a message I would be more than happy to return your plea.
Your cries have been answered,
