oxy advice

[zoea]

Well most of u know my journey. Doc cocaine.
I've had trouble with my foot for a while. Had an xray its not broken. Dr r looking into it. But pain is getting worse.
I've taken co codomol. It does nothing. Anyway I've got a prescription for oxycodine or oxycodone think.that's it.
I only know about the name as i have seen it mentioned on here.
Do i chance it or stick with pain. I think i can put up with pain. If these tablets r bad.

Hi, first time here, i have a problem that wont go away. I had a car accident in 2012 and was given 11 titanium plates throughout my whole face.. I lost my buisness,  
(still not working now) i was on a box of
20mg and a box of 10mg  oxycodine a fortnight.. After 2 weeks i hardly used them maybe 1 10mg a day. So i had a few boxes stockpiled. I started smokeing ice coz i had no energy and had a babys room to complete for our new baby 5 weeks away.. I started having all nighter then 2 all nighters and then someone showed me how to inject oxys. I did it once and loved it.  But was very dissopointed in my self and did not do it again for a couple of weeks.
I saw that person again who also was on large amounts of oxys and injected  it again. After that  i  went through all the boxes quickly, injecting it all.. Then i would feel like **** and get some ice.. But that only made things worse. So i was freaking out on the come down and went to doctors early, doctor said what happen to the other box's??
I told him my bag was stolen and they were in it..
So i was slowly taken off the oxys with a great sucess..
Oxy free for 5 weeks.. Until i saw this person again and went and injected oxys with them..
B4 i knew it i was there everyday injecting oxys..

Anyway its 18 months later and i have been swapping weed for 6 x 40mg oxys a week. They only last 4-5 days and i have the comedown thing every week and i cant stop.

Im on anti depresents 20mg twice a day Smoking ice, smoking weed, drinking alcohol,  injecting morpheine every single day..
Im having about. 12-15 hours a week sleep, if that..!!

I have tried and tried to stop but i cant , i cant tell anybody either, i dont hang out with my mates anymore, i dont have sex with my wife anymore, i dont do my hobbies,i dont work, dont go to pub, i dont hardly even answer my phone any more..  
I just dont want to do anything that i used to love.. Not interested..
I am always getting asked about work because i used to be a workaholic and now i cant even show up when i have ppl and friends trying to help me get of my ***..
I just dont give a **** about anything or anyone any more and all i can think about is getting off my head... The only time i drag myself out of the house is to score or get grog..
Im trying to stop the oxy first but having a real hard time.. Same with the ice, i stop for 3-4 days then i cant move,im in massive amounts of pain, i cant stop sleeping, i cant be bothered thinking litterally.. I have 2 beautiful daughters 1yrs and 4yrs  and a loving wife, Who doesnt kno any of this and the only way to function is to get more ****..
So i think to myself who cares bout all this its the only way i can live my life, otherwise im like DEAD..!
I can not function at all with out these drugs.
I have to sphyc my self up for half n hour to get off the couch to take a **** coz i am to exhausted, my kids try and play with me and i put on the brave face..
but in the last 9 months i have only stopped 3 times.
Once was for 2 days, then 3 days, then once for 4 days and still could not function at all..
So the only way i dont feel like killing myself is to score
Then im back to normal.. But not the old normal..
Miles away from my old normal..

HELP PLEASE....

Well um trying my best. My mum died from alcohol when i was 13.and i looked after.from the age of 6. I've never forgave really. So Im try my best to have it as a learning lesson as not to follow her footsteps. Anyway enough of my sorrows lol.

Chicken soup waiting whenever u r ready.

Good for you on choosing NOT to take the oxy's.  You would be opening up another bad can of worms.

I could go for some chicken soup so will head across the pond!  I love those chicken soup books.  I have one that i still cant bring myself to read, its about dads and daughters~~

[MikeInFrance]

So I wouldn't take any opiate at all for something like that. I'm sure it's painful but these pills create alot  more pain. Trust me...unfortunately I know.  Your doing great though for sure! ;)

[bama88]

so sorry about your foot zoe.....you have came so far...just wrap that foot and ice it down. elevate above your heart...and rest. do you have a cane or crutches to take some weight off foot?

it seems as when we emerge out of the fog of drugs something happens...bkitty and myself had bad tootheaches that sent us to the dentist..i had three teeth pulled around the two week mark. somebody has a wicked sense of humor when us addicts settle down and stop using. chin up chickidee ..hugs from across the pond

[minn66]

I love the Chicken Soup for the Soul books and have several. They are very inspiring and show how although we may not know it at the time, things happen for a reason and there is a lot of good and miracles all around us.

I would love to come across the pond for a visit and some of your delicious chicken soup. Isn't it amazing how simply the eating of it relaxes you and makes you feel better?

Hugs and have a blessed, relaxing day,

Minn :)

I glad u doing well keep up the good work

[zoea]

Well i was going to take neuofen + but just read a post so staying away from that to. U have to laugh.

Yes 14 days Friday. What's made me stronger is my guy called and said he needs a new pair of trousers. Do i wanna get anything. Well the cheek of it lol. Well i said yes i know the feeling my kids need trousers to.

I make a lovely chicken soup. U r invited across the pond.
Also the book chicken soup for the soul. is a beautiful read.
Hugs Zoe x

[minn66]

Way to go, zoe! And 14 days as well! I am so proud of you :D I am so glad you posted here first. What a great support system we have here. In my thread, someone mentioned that I should be proud that I posted here instead of calling the doctor. I am proud, even though at the time I felt so weak. You should be proud too! We will make it through together. No matter where we are physically, we all meet here with the common goal of staying away from those meds and whatever our drug of choice is.

I hope you are feeling better and getting plenty of rest.

Hugs and semi-homemade chicken soup from across the pond,

Minn :)

[zoea]

I read the posts. Thank u all. No doctor does not know i had a problem.
I will not take the pills. U have scared me too much lol.
And as u all know i do have a tendancy to get a little sucked in.
Im nearly 14days clean.
I wrapped up foot and Im going to deal with it.
Thanks for the advice.

I have no experience with oxys but I agree with those who do. Don't take them. My husband has a bad ankle due to a basketball injury and he has used RICE... Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation. Take an anti-inflammatory for the swelling. Oh sweetie, I am so sorry this happened to you. I am thinking of you... Love and hugs from across the pond, of course y

Love,

Minn

[Bkitty]

No!! No,,dont take them. It will only open another window to this addiction. Like mentioned above,,If I would have known what this would have done to me I never woulda taken that first pill. Thats all it took literally to start my 8 year addiction to pain meds. ~Bkitty

[overopiates]

if u can stand the pain NO DONT TAKE THEM.U will regret it if u do

[lulu747]

Zoe,
You really don't want to go down that road.  Cross-addiction is serious, and oxy is one of the most addictive substances out there.  Take Ric's good advice.   Get rid of that script!  Does your doc know you are an addict?  They can prescribe non-narcotic medications like Toradol if you have bad inflammation that can't be helped OTC.  You are so new in your recovery, you need to set yourself up for success.  Take good loving care of yourself and get rid of that script!!!

xox

[ricart70]

in this case no way!  rest ice elevation compression.tylenol aleve anything but oxy for a minor ache that is not a broken bone.Matter of fact I would not even take these again if I had a broken bone.lol

[IwillDoThis]

Zoe - oxys are the devil and I'm sure anyone will tell you.  I was in pain mgmt and ended up here - I was not taking more than my script but the plain fact is eventually your body will get used to dose and you will find yourself physically addicted.  Given your situation I would not go near them.  Try to manage pain with motrin, tylenol whatever.  Don't get into this pickle............................

[corbear]

If I knew then what I know now I WOULD OF NEVER STARTED TAKING THESE DEVIL PILLS. I dont want to detour you from taking them but be very very very careful. Before you know you have an addiction going.If your just taking them for pain follow the docs instructions to the tee. Dont over medicate!!!!  I have been addicted to norco for 2 yrs and it really *****. I hate it.
Please be careful. I would hate to see anyone going through this horrible addiction. Its not fun or pretty to go thru withdrawl.
Take care and good luck to you!!!!
