6 Days CLEAN of Percocet 10/325

[KMK523]

I would like to start by saying I think this forum is wonderful! I have read many posts this past week, and find a little comfort knowing I am not alone! I am a 34 year old mother of 3 amazing kids that need their mom back. My story starts like many others that I have read on this page....I had back surgery 13 years ago and was prescribed percocet for the pain. Over the years I have become more and more dependant on the pills and have drastically increased my dose. TODAY I AM 6 DAYS CLEAN COLD TURKEY METHOD!!! I am proud, but realize I have a long road ahead of me. Before I stopped taking the pills I was up to 16 10/325's each day. The physical withdraw was pure HELL, but I made it through. I must also add the pills have always been prescribed to me from my family physician...240 per month. I have never purchased illegally EVER!!! My question is this......I have good days and I have bad days. Bad days are pure HELL. I feel exhausted, bad headaches, diahreah, and plain SAD. When will this get easier?? Right now the only support I have is my husband. He is great, but can not relate to what I am going through. I am afraid to dare talk to anyone, or even attend a meeting because I know a lot of people and I fear being recognized by someone. No one knows that I have this problem (at least I don't think anyone knows). Any advice would be appreciated....first time poster. Thank you all for listening!!

Happy flush party.

You really just made me laugh...wow that is discipline!!! I am hearing you all loud and clear!!! I am going to hand the bottle over tonight. I hope I can handle it!! I personally can't flush them, or be around for it but I'm sure my hubby will be happy and more than willing to. I'm amazed how he has stood by me through this and never have up on me. I don't think he understands that I'm still struggling though. I told him to be patient and understand there will be good and bad days but soon the good will outweigh the bad. Thanks ladies!! ;)

Ok, so Waz is making me relive my flushing story again! I had been somewhat successfully tapering my pills for a couple of weeks! I was having mild withdrawal symptioms! Thought I was doing great, but it was getting harder and harder to taper! I got very emotional and cried all day on Wednesday over some stupid thing, and I had just had it! I wanted out! I wanted it over! So, I took my last 2 pills on Wed night before bed! I got up on Thursday and sat the pill bottle before me, and as I drank 3 cups of coffee, I stared at them! Finally, I got up walked into the bathroom dumped them in and flushed fast! Well one stupid pill got stuck on the side of the bowl and I had to touch it to get it to go down! Yuck! It was about a 10 day supply! That was that! It's been a very rough ride, and I'm not through it yet, but there are glimmers of light, it is getting better! I hope I've been able to inspire you to flush them! If not just send them to me and I will flush them for you! Ummm, Probly not a good idea! LOL best wishes and much support to ya!!
