Wow I hear where your coming from, I went back and forth for a year, always a constant battle in my head, one hand they made me feel so good yet I knew deep down inside what I was doing was wrong. Like everyone on hear says pretty soon I needed more and more and more just to not get sick, it's really a viscous cycle. I decided I was tired of the pills clouding my judgement, I wanted me back, I'm only on day 11 and I'm already starting to sleep again. I've experienced more inner strength and feeling more in the last 11 days than I have in the last three years. I really hope you make the right decision cuz it really is worth it. GOOD LUCK...
I just posted today. Read your statement. Good advice. Thank you.
Hi there,,hope you are feeling better! I was just curious,,are you wanting to get clean and sober? There is a lot of great support here,,I wish you the best ((hugs))~bkitty

Hi there--just to let you know, as of late 2010, Darvocet/Darvon has been banned worldwide due to cardiac fatalities and serious side effects (kidney, liver, heart). Best not to take any more.....
6 years ago I was where you are at now. 5 days ago I was taking 3 * that amount. I was a zombie. I have real back pain issues. my family my life myself. I don't wanna live like that anymore. think really hard where you wanna be in the future. 5 days now without any meds I used the thomas recipe to get through still no sleep but I'm going to work tomorrow and I feel so much better. if you choose to stop sooner than later is in your hands. I pray for you to make the best decision.
I just saw your last post. Do you have pain issues and they are prescribed? I do, too, only I stopped back in November because it was taking more and more meds to get relief and it scared me that I was losing control. I do understand.
Hi and welcome. I know how you feel. Are you taking any vitamins and supplements? The Thomas recipe certainly helped me. Immodium became my best friend ;). Drink as many fluids as you can, like Gatorade or Powerade. Try to eat something, even if just crackers and soup or broth. You have already made it quite a ways. This would be a great time to quit so you won't have to go through this again.
Good luck and keep posting,

they really do help me & have no losses from them,,been on then for year and 1/2..just ran out first time ever.ugh and its horrible,
Welcome. Withdrawal from opiates is not much fun. I'm sorry you're hurting so much. A hot bath might help you. It sounds like you're a bit on the fence about giving up the pills. Do they still work for you? Have you had to increase your dose? Are they affecting your life in negative ways? Is money an issue?
You have to decide for yourself about getting clean. You've got to want to be clean more than you want to get high. I got clean because I was broken and hopeless and I couldn't do it another day. I'm 63 days clean and I love my life today! it's by no means perfect, but I have hope and freedom today. Stick around and read some of the stories here. You may find that you relate, and that you do want your life back.
