Hello, I am on day 2 of trying to get off of about 200milegrams a day of mostly Percocet and some roxys. I'm in excruciating pain and my last blood pressure reading was 139/107 with a heart rate of 96. Is it too much to try to go cold turkey from 200milegrams a day to 0. I've never hurt so bad in my entire life. I have the usual symptoms of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, restless leg syndrome, headache, and in general just pain everywhere. I need my life back. I have lost almost everything, and I need to get off of these so badly. Please any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated. I don't know if I need to get into some sort of medical detox program or just keep going. I just literally feel like I am about to die. Like I'm on the verge of wanting to take my own life because I'm in so much pain I can't hardly stand it. Any feedback you could give I would greatly appreciate. Cudos to you for cutting back so much! You should be so proud of yourself.
Hey Hotwheelz,
I believe you will feel wds when you stop using however because you haven't been using all day every day they will be milder than they would for someone who is using all day.
I started using much in the same way that you are. I used to get home from work in the afternoon and play internet poker and take vicodin. At first it was every so often, then it got to be just about every day. I didn't associate the fact that I was wanting to get home and play poker so much with the idea that I was getting hooked on pills.
By the time I stopped I was using 30-40 pills a day.
If you don't stop now you're going to seriously regret it. The wds are much worse when you're using large amounts for extended periods.
