Aa
Im BACk!!! OXYCONTIN!! HELP!!
Ok Ive been here before. Tried to straighten myself up. Didnt quite work when my hubbie came into a huge sum of money. Right now Im trying to get myself back on track. I had been doing anywhere from 1 to 2 oc 80's a day. Now I am cutting myself off of the money and trying to taper down with hydro and valium. The only thing is that its not cutting it! I start chillin' and sweating and all of the other good stuff that goes along w sobering up in about 4 hrs w the hydro. With the oxy it was about 8 hrs. I have been doing this for a long while and I am tierd of this lifestyle and hiding my face, . . . the guilt. Another thing I wanted to mention is that when Im coming down with no hydro xanax or valium I am like a freaking lunatic, crying, punching walls, screaming, and then apologizing. Whats up with that I was even suicidal last night. That has never happend before.
She admitted what she was doing and all I did was suggest that 3 of the 10mg hydo is better than getting back on the oxy because they helped her so much better!
You might want to think before posting.. I dont ever try and give out negative advice.. But if you actually read above
"So a friend of mine has been bringing me by 3 loratab 10's 2 white xanax, and 4 valiums, each night the thing is its not the same and its not really cutting it." DIRECT QUOTE"
Tapering is a method used on here OFTEN as a way to quit taking oxycontin.. i have read enough and posted enough to watch what I say! I simply suggest that she needs to consider that if she is getting 3 of the 10mg hydro a night from a firends (regaurdless of what I said, not to mention before I even posted a thing) she is going to do it anyway.. I would rather tell someone to taper using a lower dose of a less potent srug than to say " GO AHEAD AND TAKE THOSE OXY'S IF THE HYDRO DON'T WORK"!!!
This is about tolerating a certain level of pain from withdrawl, and also making a decision that is right for her and her life.. I never SUGGESTED TO ANYONE THAT IS TRYING TO GET 100% CLEAN AND HAS A PLAN ALREADY TO GO GET PILLS!
You are obviously bitter, and have horrible attitude at this time of night.. You tell me not to get pissed off, yet you come at me and accuse me of something YOU TOTALLY TOOK OUT OF CONTEXT!
I refuse to argue with you over something I help people with EVERYDAY, DAY AFTER DAY ON HERE WITH.. You can post to your self!! And you keep the negativity up and I will dirent my energy to helping others, and staying positive!

dude.. no offense.. and no one here is better than anyone else, but i'm not sure you should really be giving out alot of advice..
encouraging drug use is not the way to go. i think participation is GREAT, but giving advice at this point? i'm not sure..
just think about it.. before you get pi**ed - think about it.

If the 10mg Hydo, vailum, and znanax arent cutting it, then why even take them? I think they help a little more than having nothing and going cold turkey right?
Plus if you look at it froma apositive standpoint that at least you have those 3 and they take even the slightest bit of the edge off, THATS GREAT!1 Becasue, if you can do this for a week or so then you only will be withdrawling from the Hydo not the oxy anymore! make sense?!
I always wanted more too, and it seemsed never enough the small amounts of the weaker stuff. But I can say that in all honesty even when I would tell then NO NO DIFFERENCE - it was better than nothing, and took some of that edge off the w/d
Also I was taking actually 7-8 of the 80mg oxy per day at bad times, and on average was taking around 5-6.. So you might want to ask yourself " IS THE 3 10MG HYDRO BETTER THAN NOTHING?

listen hun, all the things you mentioned are normal symptoms of
w/d... all of them. as well, so are the suicidal thoughts i am guessing - it's the only time i ever felt it, at the end of my "run"...
you have two choices: one is to gut out 3 or 4 days of that sh**, and just get through it. WITH SOME AFTERCARE.
the other option is using clonidine or Sub, and stopping completely. they will help with the w/d ALOT. also, include with aftercare..
but if you don't change up something, you likely won't succeed hun. and being at the house all the time makes it worse - i know. been there.
you've been around here.. you know enough sweetheart. all those symptoms are normal w/d symptoms, and you either have to suffer a few days and just get through it, or try the w/d meds.
but i can't stress enough the support afterward.. therapy, n/a, SOMETHING. or you're gonna end up using again.
glad you're back and fighting the fight... good for you.
