Pain pill withdrawal...need help

[DollaDamage]

I was taking Roxy's (a form of pain pill) for about 6 months on and off and then started doing them everyday 15-30mgs a day to start and recently was up to 60-75mgs a day.  2 days ago I decided to try cold turkey.  The first night was hell...RLS out the butt, couldnt sleep, depressed, etc.  Day 2 was the same.  I am now on day 3 and have to go away with famil and dont want to be feeling this way.  I have the pills, just been fighting the urge.  I was thinking of taking a half (15mg) today to finally sleep and then tom going to 7mg and the same friday then half that sat and sund and stopping again.

I am worried by doing so I will be restarting the withdrawal.  I knwo its different for everyone but I was wondering if anyone could help.

An update in case anyone is curious...I started taking less doses between 15-30mg to bring my levels down, then caved in and confessed to my girlfriend.  I must be the luckiest person ever because she offered support and didnt leave.  With her support of just being around, I did two days of 5mgs at 2am to prevent restless legs and insomnia.  I felt like crap and the depression sucked.  Then on day three i didnt take any and instead took a .25mg xanax at night to stop the anxiety.  The next night I still didnt take any and no xanax and although I only slept for 4 hours, no restless legs and I am starting to feel myself again on day 3.  Having supposrt is the best possible thing.  Thought I would update...leaving my past behind and moving forward to my future!

I completely agree but I am trying to take it minute by minute an dday by day, I am not worrying about what is to come until I am there...I have been thru this before so I know about the mind ***** (pardon my language) that can happen, what I am trying to deal with now is the lack of sleep and physical pain and depression.  Like I said I am going away with family tonight and do not want to be feeling this way while traveling, so, my question is if i did 15 mg tonight and then 7 tom for 2 days etc etc would the withdrawl come back worse or the same or would tapering limit it to just chills and running to the bathroom, its the not sleeping and RLS i cant stand

I can only tell you that this will be one of the hardest fights of your life. After the physical withdrawals are over with then your mind will start messing with you. Some sort of aftercare must be established. Not trying to detour you but the physical withdrawals are the easy part...staying clean however is NOT!

I do have someone who could help but having them taking them is not my issue, I have had them in the house the last 2 days etc...my concern is if I do the taper like I said from today, day 3, will the withdrawl syptoms when i completely stop again monday or tuesday be worse or the same as they are on day 1,2,3 that I am currently going trhu

from experience..if you have the pills..you will cave in and use. If you are already on day 3 would you want to start all over again? Tapering hardly ever works alone..if you had someone you trusted to help you with it that would be a different story.
