Please tell me the w/d off of Oxycotin gets better...

[kberrier]

I am on my 30th hour of detox off of Oxycotin.  I am starting to feel a little bit better, but still having horrible cravings.  I was using 2- 10mg of oxy's a day for the past four years.  Also using vics or whatever I could get my hands on.  I know it doesn't seem like much but I am still feeling the w/d of it.  If it wasn't for my husband helping me through this I don't know what I would have done.  I am so affraid of relapsing.  I am craving something to make me feel better so bad.  Please tell me that this gets better.  I just want to feel normal again and I don't want to use anymore.  I know that I can live a normal life and feel happy without the use of pills.  Can anyone give me the reassurance that I can feel normal again.  Can I live a productive life without pills?

Absolutley it gets better!!  I am on day 22 from a very high OC and methadone dose.  I c/t'd and felt pretty bad for the first 10 days.  But ONLY 10 days.  The key for me was looking at each hour as a challenge to get through.  Be strong and stay clean for the next hour.  That hour turn into a day, and then the days into weeks.  I feel great today!

It does get sooo much better.  Try checking out the amino acid protocol or the Thomas recipe.  I have tried to detox many times before, and this was by far the best.  It was also the only time I took the aminos and vitamins and ate properly.  Good nutrition is very important.  This was also the only time I admitted I was powerless over my addiction and that I was too weak to beat it.  I called out to God for the strength and he has carried me this far, and it's onwards and upwards from here!!

Good luck and you can do this!!!

You will feel normal again.  You can have a productive life w/out pills.  You've got to give it time and stock up on all your vitamins and "ensure" is a good source of nutrients during this time. It's a nutritional drink for those who are unable to get the nutrients for one reason or another.  drink lots of H20, avoid Soda, alcohol, coffee for now,  hot baths, heat pads, valium if you have it, clonodine if you don't already have low blood pressure, patients and perseverance.

OMG Ofcourse you can!!!! The 30th hour is nothing! You have a long road ahead of you, but i promise, things get so much better!!! And don't get me wrong, 30 hours is great! It's a start for sure! So good job on that!!! But what i mean is that, you have been taking the pills for a very long time. It's going to take a couple weeks before you start feeling normal again! The 1st week is hell. The second isn't too much better, but a little. The 3rd you are able to see a light at the end of the tunnel. And the 4th, well it's a whole new begining and life is soooooo much better!!!
Good job and 30 hours is definitely a start!!!
