i have noticed that a heating pad and drinking lots and lots of water seems to make me feel better.  I drink about 2 liters a day or more and it seems to help.  get some raw flaxseed and mix it with milk or juice  I swear its a miracle.......start slow maybe 3 tablespoons at first.  I am up to  quarter cup not and it really helps.  you can google it and see how wonderful it is................

Nauty...............
p.s.  you must grind it in a coffee grinder  .......its a pain but a miracle.  dont get the already ground meal.  no good

I'm in hour 26 of oxy w/d and I'm miserable.  Does it get easier tomorrow or does it get worse every day?

I literally laid in the bath for hours while withdrawaling! it helped a LOT with the aches. I also took some Nyquil tablets, but couldn't fall asleep for about 4 hours, but when I did finally fall asleep I slept good. Trout mentioned vitamins, and I 100% agree. The first couple of days my legs hurt so bad I couldn't take it. I ate lots of bananas and it helped tremendously! It sounds like you have all your bases covered so good luck with it!!

One simple thing that really helps me in WD's is when I take vitamins with TONS of minerals such as zinc, magnesium etc...  The pills rob our system of these minerals and our bodies hurt because of it.  Best of luck... We're all in your corner!

Thank you guys so much for the support.I just need people who understand.My husband does not and I have managed to lose my friends to this.My doctor did prescribe me clonidine in a patch form.I am on workers comp and they have not approved that medication yet but the doctor has sent in an appeal.About tappering,I do have the supply....its kinda endless. I just dont know if I have the will power.That makes this so much harder for me.And being on workers comp they are free to me.Dr prescribes 56 every 7 days.It is just I am only 24 years old and I have 3 little girls that have seen me like this for the last 2 years.I would NEVER want my babies to do this but kids learn buy example.I am thinking of going to NA tonite.I have also stocked up on vitimen water,ozarka,immodium,alot of soup and some movies.Anything else I need?Thank you guys again!!!!

Just think how much better you are going to feel tomorrow morning knowing you have 24 hours clean.  i'ts not going to be an easy day, I just finished my first day and it was a real battle but there is all kinds of support here and if you stay online with them, they'll help you the whole way.  Clear your schedule, get some food in the house that you'll be able to stomach, check out the Thomas recipe, and stay online.  If I can do this, anyone can.

Nothing wrong with wheening (if you can).  It's a tough thing to do....  I know cuz I've never been able to.  I'm on day 3 today (69 hours) and I can tell you that within less than 10 hours of my last dose of 5mg of Oxycodone that I was in nasty withdrawls.  However, here it is day 3 and the only symptoms that I'm having is a little exhaustion and the diarreah is still there.  Other than that I feel great.  It will get better.  If ya really want to quit then you have to make the decision.  

There is nothing wrong with tapering if you have the supply.

Lord please help me today!  Is a great way to start. I am on my 4th day of withdrawal. I have been bone cold so I have a heat in the microwave type thing to hang on to . I also went to a steam room on the 2nd day. I got vitimans the best multivitams , calcium, bonemeal, and lots of water and juice. I find it hard every day not to go to another doctor but I'm tired of the expense of it all , money , and sacrifice of the real me. I havent been me for a long time. I look forward to it. Lets just get through one second minute day at a time. I feel like I got hit by a truck but it hurts alittle less every day.
