3rd day off oxy and feel like hell
Anybody have a good way to fall asleep whil detoxing from oxy. I m on day 3 and havnt slept yet any ideas
I love this! Bob, you're awesome....period! Nick, you're doing so good. It may not feel like it, but it's true. You have to tell the wife to lock the pills up. They will call your name constantly. Hell, I wish I knew your wife right now!!!!!! Joking.....But seriously, I could never live in the house with it if I knew about it. I would make up every excuse on the planet to get hubby to give me one. I'm lucky he hates pills! : ) So, you're stronger than me to even be sitting in the same house with it.....honestly!
Your wife is going to need to keep those pills hidden from you Nick. There WILL come a day when they will start talking to you. The fact you flushed that 80 is a huge step and took a lot of guts to do. It's like saying good-bye to friend right??? Great job on that.
If you can't move, you're going to have to avoid those neighbours like the plague, seriously.
I'm not doing anything but offering a little encouragement, you're doing all the work Nick. Sometimes it helps to know we aren't losing our minds by knowing others have had the exact same issues, that we are not alone in this.
I relapsed after taking tylenol #1's once. They drove me back to oxys, again you are wise to dump them. Those 2 you took won't affect your wd, it is a very small amount of codeine in them.
You're on the right path, you seem to know where the pitfalls are so be careful. You're doing great really you are!!!!

Yup good ol Quebec where the good comes cheap or used too..lol
I have an appointement with a councilor on monday wich is tomorrow.WOW already...
I remembered I had an 80mg hiddin somewhere and about 30 mins was faced with this dileme....U KNOW I tought of just a little nib or peice. I woke my wife up and we talked and I flushed it. I have to understand that they are everywhere 2 of my neighbors make 100 000$ a year by selling them and am not ready to move away.
My wife takes 2x 20 mg oxy a day with 120 Seupredols a month and I have not touched one.
You know what I miss Bob and I dont want to switch from 1 addiction to another but man do I ever miss going fishing and havin a cold one. I wouldnt drink in fear of overdosing or wuthever. Not the best motivation but when I look at her bottle I picture a good time with friends Oxy free.......
Bob I just want u to know that u are the one thats keeping me on track...One complete stranger via internet is changing my life MY life amd MY FAMILLIES life...
One thing I want to let eveyone know is DO NOT smoke POT while detoxing Pot is not a calmant like everybody thinks drug and acts as a stimulant my 1st and 2nd day I was smoking and man did it make it worst. Imagine this...Thinking u are dying and then getting an anxiety attack.................lol
Oh yeah wut a bummer, I took 2 tyl for leg pain but where tyl 1 with a bit of codein...I flushed that bottle too u think it will matter in my detox process...I dont think so caus Loperamide wich is the main ingredient in Immodium is a opiate cousin so I was to to stay awa from it anywhoo
Thanks Bob and the more I hear from u the better my day is

Hi again,
I'm glad your family seems somewhat understanding of what you're going through. I remember back to my first detox which was pretty bad and I was on day two I think. I completely lost it on a stranger. That is so out of character for me. I called him every name in the book. I should have been wearing a straight jacket that day I think. He was much bigger than me but I didn't care. He must have realized that I was crazy because he got the heII away from me. ha ha He DID deserve it though!!! Anyway, I just tell you that because it is sooooo normal this early into things to have swinging emotions.
When you're in a calmer or more loving mood, tell the wife and family you appreciate them and that their support means everything to you right now. Explain to them that it's very normal to be "on edge" right now.
So today is day 5 for you? You really should be starting to turn the corner on the physical stuff. What's next??? Get some fresh air, get out with the kids. Force yourself to do something.
Have you thought about NA or anything like that?? A counselor??? Those things can make a world of difference on how you feel and on your chances for long-term success.
So you are in Quebec??? It's nice to know I'm not the only addict in Canada!!! :)
Have a good one Nick, you're doing awesome, it WILL get better,

I'm glad you got a little sleep. It makes a world of difference. As soon as the sleep starts to come back, the other stuff gets better quickly.
Be careful taking the l-tyrosine in the afternoon or evening because it can really make you jittery and make sleep even tougher. I could only take it in the morning but it did get me going.
I hope you have immodium for the runs. Take lots of it if need be, it really helps.
It sounds like you are turning the corner on this and that is really cool to hear. Very happy for you.
Hang in there it will keep getting better and great job so far!!!
