Looking for any information that may help
My mother has said this site has helped her alot with my addiction, and she has said i could use her account for information. I tried to quit the oxycotin about 6 months ago but was not successful, i made it to day 3 and couldn't do it, I really want to quit but it felt like i went insane literly, I am tired of having to do pills so i am not sick, i am so tired of it, I know there is no short cut for the withdrawls, but what can i do so not to feel insane again? I really want to quit so bad, i would do just about anything.
I got my own account now, the name is wantnormalagain i tried alot but alot are taken, i tried to see if i could take some of my post and transfer them but couldnt, hope this is better for everyone

Hello!!! I also think you should open your own account, but not a must. We're glad to help either way :) I'm soooo happy that you're here!!! Really! It's amazing that you want to finally stop!! It's time to get YOU back and YOUR LIFE along with it!!! Okay, so you said that you are still taking 5-6 a day and ALSO the hydromorph contin's and splitting them? Or just the latter? This is totally possible to finally be FREE of these drugs! You also said that your GF is currently using. That might prove hard to stay close to her while you are WDing. It will be easier to use if it's right there and her using will influence you while you are having hard times with this. Does she want to quit as well? As for the clonidine, it seems to have helped some people but I don't know much about it, someone else will probably post who knows more to help you in that area :)
Keep your head up and keep posting here. It's a wonderful site :) And everyone here cares sooo much about you. Even though we don't completely know you, there's just a sense of love and caring here that I can't find ANYWHERE else. It's amazing, and YOU are AMAZING! You CAN do this and you WILL do this!!! Stay positive :)

Hi
Okay to answer some of the questions i have been doing oxycotin for about 2 years at one point it was 10-15 a day, i realized i had a problem and that it wasnt something i wanted so i tried to quit,as i said i made it to day three but it did feel like i was going insane, i felt like i lost my mind literly, the only good thing was the tolerance went down to 5-6 a day, i know still not good but better than 15, next question, How bad do i want this? I want this more than i want anything, i did something a year ago that mom doesnt even know yet she does know that i have to tell her something that she wont like but we will talk once i am done and she agreed, it was wrong and a terrible thing to do. I am not myself, i know this. Yes i deal with the loss of my dad and brother and seee the shrink for that and have been for a year, that isnt so much an issue, i do miss them and do love them but i have said good bye. I do have support as in my mom and my girlfriend and Dave the ranch foreman. My girlfriend was doing up to 8 a day as of yesterday, i stopped using oxycotin and got hydromorph contin's and split them in half over the last few days i felt the diffrence as i was alittle achy and bitchy, but not to my mom. I know this is my own problem, and i know i need to do this for me, and i am, I have responsibilities that i need to fullfill and i need to be the person i should not some drug addict, not saying that rudely so please dont take offence to that, but i want this realy bad to answer the question, i am scared not of the first few days, but like the last time the 3rd day, i hadnt slept in those days and on the third day i felt like i lost my mind really.........i want this in the worst way but am realy scared, i feel like crap now, but i am on here and playing the video game, someone has told me when they were in jail they got clonidine, i think i spelled it right, i might be able to get the nurse practioner to write me a perscription fo r that if it works, i dont want to take things that are not going to work or make things worst.....I am open to all and any ideas any help would be great

Hi! It sounds to me that you're pretty serious about this! That's great because mental attitude makes an enormous difference!
Most people are afraid of withdrawals and that's what keeps them from getting clean. So,I understand how you feel but this has to be done. A lot of the fear comes from misinformation and our own anxiety! Once you realize that,you're ahead of the game!
You will not die and you will not go insane. Just start thinking healthy thoughts,okay??
And think about this: We're afraid of withdrawals but not afraid to keep stuffing ourselves with pills! That's 1,000 times worse!!
There are three basic things you need to do: You need to force liquids in and I mean alot!!
You need to eat healthy foods. Fruit,protein bars/shakes. You need the nutrition. Lastly, you need to get some mild exercise during this process. It sounds hokey but it works if you do it!
This will help: Music. Hot baths/showers. Popsicles. Good company. Your Mother. Movies. Rest. Reading.
You're going to be okay and you're doing a great thing for yourself! Keep your guard up and just push through day 3 when you get there. I think that's the worst day. Know that after that,every day you'll feel better. You've got youth in your favor here!!
The forum can be a huge help so use it!

Good Morning!
First, you should open your own account here. We have been speaking with your mom for several days and members will get confused by the name and the fact that she states she is a 48 year old female.
So I understand you have tapered to a relatively low dose. You already know what to expect from the withdrawal and it will not last for long--a few days tops. I am more concerned with what you will do afterwards. How will you keep yourself from starting this cycle all over again? I know you have had major losses in your life and you are very possibly still grieving. A good place to start would be help for that. Grieving is a process and it takes time. And, just like what you are going through with withdrawal, there are no short cuts. It's okay to feel the feelings but it is not okay when you numb them.
Anyway, I wanted to just say hello and hope that you will stick around and let us get us know you. there is a lot of great support here from members who are where you are and at various stages of recovery. Any questions, just ask. I hope you get through this.
