35 OxyIR now down to 7 pills per day 5mg pills will I feel withdrawal after I reach 0 pills?

Great job on getting down that far. Yes, the cramps are w/d, no question. I say think about just jumping off the wagon now & finish cold turkey. Your down to a more reasonable number, so it will be easier than if you did it while at 35 pills a day. At this point, since your already quite uncomfortable, why not just get 'er done & get it over with. Why dr...

Congrats you guys :) Only 65 days left until the one year mark for you! I'm close to you at 280 days. Great work & have a wonderful weekend. Hugs.

Nope, not a good idea. If you have more than one, you may very well go back to taking them again. Then you would start w/d's all over again once you ran out. Back to square one.

You may have an ulcer, however, I think that you may still be recovering from withdrawal as well. It took my stomach at least two months to feel completely 'normal' after my detox. The first three weeks were the worst. Since your a little over two weeks clean (Congrats, by the way :) your still early in the healing process. This too, will pass. The meds y...
I just need some straight-forward answers on w/d's from different meds...

Wow, your stopping three meds in two weeks time. I'm not surprised that you feel like your in a tail-spin. The Adderall is a stimulant, so that certainly will not help your insomnia/stress. I would continue to taper down from that for several weeks, then stop. In the meantime, theres herbal supplements listed in the Health Pages for staying calm & for sle...

I can relate, I was in the same boat as far as having a ton of responsibility. I know what it feels like to have kids, and other people being totally dependant on you. However, we are not invinceable, and we need help from others at some point in our lives. I too thought that my kids, house, job would literally fall apart when I went through w/d's. I used...
