i finally asking for help

[laloca30]

How long does the withdrawls last? I have been on painkillers for 3years now.Take around 15 to 20 aday.And just need to know really how to get threw this.

[bobby139]

I'm in the same boat as you, alot of painkillers specially oxy. I started to taper off yester day, from about 15 a day for the last 3 yrs, to 3 yesterday and so far 1 today, I don't feel good at all, sick to my stomach,dizzy, very shaky and confussed (i don't even know if I'm making sense today) sweaty, skin hurts like sunburn, but no blood, I didn't see were you said you were throwing up blood but like everyone else is saying that is not right, specially if its a darker color that means its coming from deep inside..either way you need help go see someone right away. I will pray for you, hang in there you can do this!
God Bless

I agree w/'worried.  It scares me that you're vomiting blood...a call to the dr is probably a good idea

Welcome to this forum...it's a great place for help and support.

If you haven't taken anything for 5 days...you should see the light a the end of the tunnel...things should be turning around..

I agree w/ worried..if you are vomiting blood ..you need to call your Dr. or get to the E.R.
That is NOT normal....please look into it....TODAY!!!

Keep posting...we're here for you..

If you are vomiting blood you need to call your doctor..if it continues you need to go to the ER....the ER can help significantly...at least call your doctor for direction....ok?

I can tell you I am in the middle of withdrawal from Morphine and hydrocodone and have been on large doses as well for over four years now. I chose to go cold turkey as not to drag this out longer than I have to. Just prepare yourself if you go cold turkey for rls sleepless nights sweats shakes chills dreams galore about this diahrea depression listless aches and pains and a few more delights. I am not trying to scare you just prepare you. Either way we pay for the use if you taper you will still feel it not as much but I feel longer I am on day 6 and I am just really starting to feel a lil bit better. Things are clearer I have the want and the motivation to do things. I have trouble being as mobile as I want though so I guess that is where the pain meds made it easier to accept my fate from a m/c accident and it helped with the pain but they quit working for me dulled the pain but dulled everything else that is me. THis is worth it to get off this though so don't fear it may seem like it is forever but in actuallity it is only a few days. Hasng in there. Wer'e praying for you. Cheers

You have come to the right place! keep on here as much as possible the support is awsome and you will feel as though you are not alone!

[cathy5841]

welcome to the forum.  you have come to the right place.  you have a couple options to getting clean.  there is cold turkey where the physical part of w/d's last about 2 weeks with days 3-7 being the worst.  keep in mind everybody is different and these days for you could vary.  another option is the taper, where you gradually drop the number of pills you take every few days, until you are done.  the w/d symptoms are not as severe that way, but you will feel it each time you drop your intake....if you read throught he post here will see what to expect with both options and be able to decide what you think is best for you.  if you decide to taper avisg will be able to help you with a taper schedule, sshe is really good with that.  she will need some info th make a schedule, if you decide to go that route she will eed some info from you, just send her a pm and she will get back to you.  good luck and keep posting
