The worst of your symptoms should start to go down by tomorrow at the very latest. My advice, do whatever you possibly can to try to sleep through the next day. Go get Melatonin, which can be bought anywhere they sell vitamins, or a supermarket. It will help relax your body and also help you sleep. Get valerian root if you can to help you sleep. Try to get through the next two days and the pain portion will be over. Then its the mental battle. You keep coming here, try meetings..do whatever you can to help. We are here for you and are proud of you.

sorry you re not feeling real good yet...day 3 right?  today will probably be the worse day.  i guess i was lucky..i had the restless arms not legs and it didn t last too long.  i also heard that quinine water can help and bananas.  i could never taper either...i did the cold turkey...not fun but liveable.  i think by monday you should feel pretty good other than some weakness and feeling tired and low energy but the physical stuff should be over.  i took my 2 week vacation to wd.  i guess i could have went back to work in a week but didn t know that after i put in my time....it was the best/worse vacation ever....iwas sick but i did get off them evil pills...bound and determined...now it s just head games and cravings but we get though it.  yea...i used to have to take pills for everything...waking up, work, going some where or any reason....horrible now that i think back...you will feel better soon...let me know...maria

Would it be easier for you to go get some bananas and tonic water and remember vitamins. We found they helped a bit, the bananas for the potassium and the quinine in the tonic water helps a bit too. It wont take it all away but a tiny bit of relief is better than nothing. Good luck and stick in there. You can do it. I know what its like to be able to barely type we are just a few days past that. But you can just look at the postings everyone is rooting for you. You should be fine by Monday. I dont think you should take them again and start tapering when youv come this far. Youd just have to go through all this again to get off your last dose no matter how small youll still get some w/ds id expect. So go for it. Good luck J&K

thank you for encouragement, i can barely type. i think the closest walmart is like 1 and1/2 hours a way' its 3 a.m wed.i took enough klohopin to knock out an elephant and still woke up with thrashing leggs. when does that stop. other than hot cold sweats i havent been too sick. mostly mental. i had my husband take oxys i think he flushed them. i keot some in case i couldnt handle it and decided to taper,i really have not been able to taper succesfully there is always that party or kids b-day that i have to feel up for. im taking advil for back pain. so far so good. not enough pain to justify up to 32 oxycodone a day.i really want free of this bondage but dont know how much more timr i can take off for w/d. i have until mon. will i be okay by then? thanks for feed back . lysah

congrats on 48 hours...i was in the bed at that time of wd/ing very very sick.  after i hit day 4 things began to get better and better as everyday passed.  it s so hard at first but you will get through this...we all do.  hang tight...your nightmare is almost over...lots of luck to you...maria
ps..have you tried hylands for restless legs..you can get it at walmart or drug store.  i ve heard many good things about it

48 is GOOD...you have come a long way and are almost through the worst. If you were taking 24 pills a day, that is a pretty hefty amt, so the w.d won't be easy. But it will all be over soon. Good luck, you are doing great.
