Hi honey:  

Most of us get addicted to these pain pills.  They'll ruin your life if you let them..and I applaud you for wanting to stop.

You can read thru all the posts here and here about what its like, but basically, yes, you're going to be sick for at least a week.   It's a lot like having a bad flu where your stomach and bowels are messed up too.  Its' only temporary, though, and it is SO worth it...

Pick a day, and just jump off of them.  Flush all the extra's down the commode, and CUT OFF all your suppliers.  

You gotta trust us that even though this is gonna suck for a bit, it is absolutely, positively the ONLY right thing to do.  You can't live your life high on opiates...

Hugs honey..let us know how you're doing...

Hi... well we all get sick doing this there is no way around this  but with a little help we can get you threw it  we do detoxes every day so you will have other people that are in the jaws of it with you  this is 1/3 phyicl and 2/3 mental  be ready to fight it out on both fronts  I have said this a million times   but you just got to be ok without being ok for a wile  this to shale pass  the physical part will pass in 5 to 7 days the mental part will stay with you for a wile  pick up a case of gatoraid it is very important to stay hydrated  pick up some movies from the video store it will give you something to do wile your up all night  a hot bath really helps most of the symptoms take several a day   also pick up some stuff called highlands restful legs it will help with the kicking keep reading the posts it is therapeutic  and post often we all want to see you get clean...........Gnarly

Hello and welcome to the forum. I would suggest the Thomas recipe. All the vitamins and minerals. This will not take away withdrawal but does help. Soon more people will be on to help with lots of experience and advice. I just wanted to respond.
