detox question

[kaybee2]

I'm trying to prepare for a detox off of herion and 3-4 80mg oc's a day( either one or the other, doc is oc but if its not around..) I was on a sub program, and my husband still is, I have some subs left over from a previous rx and I plan to use those to help. I do not want to use them for long because I have heard awful stories about people comong off the and how bad the w/d is. because money is so tight for us, and I cant afford all the vitamins ans aminos we need, all i have are B-12's (2000mcg) and multi-vitamins and 2 klonopins. What is it exactly that the b-12 does. I have 3 small kids and I am a teacher. we are on vaca this week so I can lay around and I have some plans for the kids for a few days but in the past ( by past i mean in the last 3 months) when Ive tried to detox and use the sub, the first day or three on the sub i feel so bad. I do wait at least 24hrs or longer if i can to take it but I still feel horrible. day 1 being the worst. Last time i was vomiting while having the worst anxiety in the world along with sweats and bad creepy crawlies. Any advice on what I can do at home. Detox is out because I have no one who can watch the kids and my husband is in the same boat which makes it bad. the last year i only do pills or dope to fight off w/d's. its def not fun anymore and I just want my life back. I have so much ahead of me. I am about to finish my masters as is my husband. I got a new teaching job a few months back and I love it but i feel guillty that i have this skelton in my closet. I feel like such a liar. I just want to live my life with my husband and kids and be happy. I want off this crap. Its been to long and im fed up! Its the detox that scares me. After the w/d's I plan on agoing to a therapist specializing in addiction and n/a meetings. But i was on sub for 2yrs and I feel like i just traded one for another. it did help me finish school and get a job so thats good but i want to be able to get up and live without taking a pill to feel better ya know. any advice would help

I am like you as I'm starting my first day of home detoxing tomorrow. I know your fear in what's to come because I have been through it before and it's torture. Im going to try what others have recommended and use the Thomas recipe. The only thing I don't have access to is the l-tyrosine so I'm going to order some online. I figure this cant make things worse so if it helps any at all I will do it! I feel like I can relate to you because I too am tired of living this life and there are so many people in my life who do not know about it and I'm tired of going through this. Please keep in touch. We can help each other get through this. And this WILL be the last time we go through this horrendous torture! Stay strong! We have to keep telling ourself that it will get better.

dont let fear in. just take it as it comes. treat your symptoms. take it minute by minute,hour by hour,day by day. you can do this. you plan on seeing a counselor and attending na meetings.this will help you stay on the recovery road. recovery is a marathon not a sprint. it is going to take you some time to heal, your mind,body,soul,emotions and spirit. one day at a time. stay hydrated, exercise,keep yourself busy, get outside,eat small meals,soup,crackers,yogurt,fruits and veggies. please make this your last detox.
we are here to support you and to encourage you. pray and ask GOD to break the chains and bondage of addiction.
sending hope and hugs

do you know what the b-12 is used for? energy? rls? Im sure that and the multi cant hurt and anything will help. Just went to the grocery store and got sleepy time tea, tummy trouble tea, green tea (lol) bananas, fruit and protien drinks, a case of waters, soups and all kinds of things for the kids that are quick to make or can just be popped in the micrwave. Im stocked up on movies, magazines and stuff on my dvr. I know i can prepare as best as possible but nothing will actually help. Im freaking out. I gget the worst anxiety even when I do pills nevermind detoxing from them and Im sure because im stupid and started doing h lately its gonna be 100x worse. Im an idiot for ever doing this. Im so mad at myself. i know whats done is done and I can only go forward but ive wasted time. time i cant get back. Ive detoxed more times thatn i can count. Im so scared for this weekend/week. im wondering what others have used to help get them thru this, otc stuff? ive searcged this site so many times but cash is tight. but if it really helps ill fig out a way. i fig out a way to get high i can fig out a way to get something to help

There's nothing wrong with using sub during wd. Many people will argue against it but they are prob coming off a few vikes aday vs a few grams of heroin like I and u did. There's a big difference between heroin wd in my opinion and its pretty rotten to get through without a crutch (sub). I've done CTs as well but ended up relapsing shortly after.sub has given me my life baxk and if used correctly will u to. 1-2 week taper is all u need and start lowering ur dose on the 2nd to 3rd day. Good luck

ps read the thomas recipe lower right side of this page for home W/D most of that stuff you'll need to make w/d easier !!!!

sounds like your on pretty high doses like i was !!! if you dont have at least 5-10 days to live through hell and you dont want to do the subs and i for one dont blame you those suck and a harder W/D mabey you might want to talk to your dr and start a taper down program when you get low enough (mg per day) then W/D should be shorter time 3-5 days thats an average cause everybody a little different it might be easer for you .......your job and all........but no matter if you taper or not as you well know 3-5 or 5-10 day w/d still got to go through hell it's the eveil part of these dam oxys !!!! hope this helps keep us posted and best of luck
