7 years later im ready !
My question is this . Its day two of Slowly coming off of Oxy and percocet ! I dropped 12.5 the other day so that's one 10 Oxy and half a percocet . Today even though I had 2 10s my head feels buzzed out is this normal ? I am fed up with pain meds !
The only reason I am coming off it is that I hate the drug so much now I don't even care for it ! I was wondering even from coming off the drug slowly for a week will I experience withdraws no matter what ? Today Im dropping 10 mil again . Tomorrow even more .
The next step is getting off of ambient as Iv been on sleeping meds for 7 years as well ! I got rid of the ambien CR and got the instant kind so I can slowly tapper off this drug as well !! Wasted so much life on addiction !! Cant think today and . who ever reads this will have a hard time . Sorry
I plan to be med free in 1 week

Hey there! Just wanted to send some encouragement your way.. I hope you are doing alright. Sometimes the taper can draw Things out ( I ve read) and if you're already feeling awful maybe its time to face this thing head on and say enough is enough. Just a thought. You do what is right for you. But you could always take the power back, flush the pills you have and just move forward. Truthfully, you will have to eventually. I wish you the best and whatever you decide, I'm here to talk. Feel better my friend, and just remember, good days are right around the corner. Stay positive!
I was on the piano today playing the piano but I am so depressed its hard to play happy music . All I'm writing is depressing songs ... My emotions are connected to my music but I hate depressing music I like Happy haven sent music . I would love to do that but I feel my music would people right now ...
Don't quit your taper.
In a month I got from 120 mg a day to 10 mg a day.
yeah there were times when the WD was terrible.
I actually would see how far I could handle the WD knowing I had pills if it go to bad.
by the end I was half of 7.5 mg vics and starting to get "high" so then I quit.

You mentioned on another thread that you are a musician. Can you add your musical talent to that church group you mentioned above? It's a great distraction, and distraction is something you really need right now. You know yourself that music is a great way to deal with emotion, and you're going to be very emotional for quite a while as you get clean and sober and your body chemistry settles down. Your music is just waiting there to be tapped. Use it!
I took 3 10s today .... So I guess that is that . Ambien I took 7.5 last-night I could just stop or take 5.0 tonight then 2.5 the next so its not a big stop or just go to 2.5 tonight then that's it . Man I hate that I got on this stuff ! If I every have a family one day and I notice a child with addiction I will put him in Jail even if he hates me .
Thats the spirit go for it and quit now, the w/d's won't kill you just make you feel like crap for a few days. Tapering is very difficult, I know I would not be able to do it, so go for it and you will get your life back. I know you can do it and I am pulling for you. I will pray God gives you the strenght to make it through to the other side---Rick
