Day One need support

[kris123]

So this is going to be my first day without pain pills perocets.  You know I never really like to take them when I had pain.  I would tell the dr I didn't want them.  They use to make me sick when I took them but now my body has gotten so use to them that I don't get sick any more.   The dr has me on neurontin 300 a day and it is helping with the anxiety.  Is anxiey normal when you stop taking them.  I have only been on them for a little over a month now.  How long does it take to get out of my system?  The neurontin has all but taken away some of the pain.  It is emotional pain that I am feeling right now.  So you know when you don't have any and in your mind you are trying to figure out how to get them.  It really is sad to tell you the truth.  Why do you feel anxiey?

I was taking 5/325 maybe 16 a day at the most, some days less.  I used because it made me feel good or at first, then I had to take more.  one 5/325 was good for me for a while, then I had to take two then three and then I was poping 4 at a time :(  I just felt so good after taking them.  I am taking 300 neorontin three times a day but 600 would be better, but I am preggo too so the dr doesn't want me to take to much neorontin.  I am thinking right now when I can call the dr for a refill, I am thinking only one more refill, see one more dr.  I can't believe that this is consuming my mind - is this normal :(  I am so sad.  I have to work, take care of my kids.  I hate this, how did i even get like this.  I really want another pill just four more that how do you get it out of your mind

Anexity comes with the WD.  I'm not sure how long it takes exactly to get out of you system but starting know is the best thing you can do.    I'm on day 5 and feel amazing.. You will and can do this.  You just have to put your mind to it and it can be done. I'm not sure how many you were taking but I was taking 20-30 lortabs 10 a day.  It's amazing what the people can do for you on here.  Just hang in there and you will get through!!!  Justn keep posting and we will help you get through this.

If you have only been on percocets one month the withdrawal should be fairly mild.Take the vitamins as listed and drink lots of orange juice.If you feel like you need to pop a pill take a vitamin c .You shoule be fine and keep posting to let us know how you are doing.

Hey! Congrats on the decision to save your a$$!
It can take a while for the anxiety to leave, but no matter the days of anxious fretting, you are doing the right thing.
If you have only been taking them for a month, you should have a short lived detox- but the mental obsession may be pretty bad.
When the idea comes into my head, I literally have to say "F*CK OFF!" out loud.

The emo pain is the hardest part, but it can be overcome with exercise, supplements and aftercare. I suggest NA or AA... I'm a 12 step pusher, and I believe 100% that it has saved my life.

We use because of that emo pain....

Keep posting. You CAN do it.
