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!

What did the hospital say when you went there? Did they want to admit you into rehab? Be careful about taking other drugs to lessen the effects of w/d. It could actually make things worse for you. Are you working with a doctor during your taper? I know I am asking a lot of questions but this info will help all of us here help you through all of this---Rick

If I went to the hospital and told then to let me stay there for a few days until I fleshed from these drugs would they do this ? I don't want rehab I just want to get off it now but I worry about withdraws  = making things depressed . Now I do have Zoloft and could take that now until I get though the withdraws .

Im still at 3 10s and 2 percs .... Depression is making me stay on the Oxy but I know Ambien is messing up my victory . Almost like Ambien is keeping me on the pain meds and the pain meds are keeping on the Ambien .

So much emotional pain and suffering. I actually broke down reading these words of inspiration. I have struggled off and on for years with hydro. It really got bad when I got divorced 2 years ago......everyday 15 to 25 pills. I really think I've kept going the last year is to keep from going through wd cause I know what's waiting for me! I've cut down but absolutely dread stopping. I'm going to run out soon. It's official...I'm in love!
