3rd day off oxy and feel like hell

[3rddayoff]

Anybody have a good way to fall asleep whil detoxing from oxy. I m on day 3 and havnt slept yet any ideas

Nick..One thing that helps is aftercare. Give it some thought. The group dynamic is very powerful! So,you may want to consider NA/AA...

The withdrawal feelings/cravings seem to come and go at first. Usually at a particular time each day. Be on guard for that and always have something to do! You also need to know your triggers! That way,you can head them off.  Ask Bob about his dish soap trigger!  LOL

Stay strong!

OOOhhh Man Bob

Just awhile ago I was conquering the world and now the wd are almost gone but here comes the withdrawls....2 different things. I have an uncle who is an alcoholic and shakes all the time and thats how I feel right now. Ive cried about 20 times since noon. Ive read 1000 storie on this site and man Im lucky I didnt let get that fgar... 1000mg of oxy a day WOW how could anyone detox cold turkey Must be hell...So if they did well good ol Nickaroo here can do it.

The bad thing about detoxing this time of year makes it hard to exercise Im always to cold to go out its like 3 degrees here.

Ive been thinking on starting to smoke again and work on quiting later on...alot of ppl tell me that the nicotine can produce endorphins that could calm me a bit...Get an Oxy cravin= have a smoke.... Id sooner smoke till i die than take those pills for the rest of my life. Alot on my mind right now day 7 is the craps cause of the w/d.

The cramping is gone the diarreah is gone now its just  the temptetions...Not much to do here.

I love poker but I tried last night and lost like 80$ and tyhats a first...lol Im a really good poker player. Top in the region. See the pills made me a good player or NOT....Maybe I can focus on that....

I know Im looking for a crutch right now but Im goin NUKIN FUTS..lol

I wish there was a place u could go to sleep for 2 weeks and get it over with...
Ive looked into Rapid detox the other day and that just takes u to day 7 of this process. Doesnt matter what route u take the temptetion will always be there....

Im just blabbin away here lookin for a solution/a plan/

Last time I went to rehab They let me go after 9 days or so cause they said Id do fine on my own I felt great. This time arround its different, its the emotionnal side thats killing me.

You know what I dont even miss the pills at all....I seek the comfort that 1 pills would give me, but I wont give in I promisse and my wife will vouch for that. I talked to my neibourghs awhile ago and they said the only way they would gimmy a pill is if I killed them...There on a 8x 80mg addiction also and wish they had the courage I have...

Hey Nick,

I'm glad you're having a good day.  When you're not sleeping much sometimes those naps really help out.

I'm glad you talked to someone at NA.  I'm sure they're quite hesitant to give you advice against a doctor's orders but you should check out a meeting.  It takes a little nerve to get to that first one but I love going to them now.  Addict socials!!!!  ha ha

You CAN take on the world but it's tough doing it on pills.  You're doing the right things, the world conquering can wait a few days.  :)

Really happy to hear you're having a good one!!!!

Thanks so much gang  Just fell assleep for 35 mins strange cause I really want to save that sleepiness for tonight but tonight I will deal with when tonight comes....It seems like when u think about no sleep all day it drains u right out. The human body can be weird sometimes and when it needs sleep it will let u know. I look at the pills sometimes and its just a reminder of how miserable my life was on them and seems to be my motivation but they are locked now........ My wife is going to see her dr Wednesday to change her meds, she is scared also.....

I remember when I quit smoking cold turkey and everytime she would smoke it reminded me of all the bad things that come from smoking and thats what kept me stong....I even quit drinking because everytime I drank I smoked  But eventually quit drinking because of fear that the oxy boose mix was going to kill me....


Oh yeah I forgot to mention this is my 2nd time quitting and I started beacause of kidney stones.


So I called the NA hotline and they told me that flushing the vallium was a bad idea simply because for the first 7-10 day it will create a state of rest in my mind and my body will need that off time as long as i taper down !!!!YEAH right if tapering was easy I wouldnt be here ..lol Oh well...

Im still on the clonidine and will taper from it well.

The L-Tyrosine is great, For many things including mental awareness but I know Bob I wont take it in the PM.


I feel like I can take over the world today but Im a long way from that BRAIN>>>>

I apreciate all the comment and congrats to u folks for overcoming thid desease

Nick~  It's okay to take Immodium. The opiate component does not cross the blood/brain barrier.  You might need it!!

You really are doing great here. We ALL need support during this process. Try to be pleasant with your family. Fight that crankiness. Eat some chocolate,or my personal favorite,ICE CREAM!!

It certainly would add another degree of difficulty for me of I knew there were OC's in the house.  I think it would for many of us here...so good job with that Nick, just be careful.  Addiction is strange - just one minute seemingly out of the blue the cravings are there.
This forum is a great place and I have come to depend heavily on those here...
You are doing great and that is awesome that you have the support of your family because that makes a world of difference.
Best of luck to you and stay strong.
Peace
