[erotisy]

Hey everyone...HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! I gotta tell you, I'm sooo excited , I'm really gonna do it. I want it more than the first time..and that first time I went 4 days cold turkey..(hell)..so I think I'm really gonna pull thru!!! Anyways....I'm gonna do it with this recipe, but I've been back on my Wellbutrine..its a anti-depresant. In the directions for it, it says don't take L-Tyrosine with a SSRI.(serotonin reuptake inhibitor), like prozac,Effexor,paxil..any psychiatric mood elevators.... HUH???
Does that mean I should stay away from the "wellbu." until I'm done with detox??? AND.... How long do I do the recipe? I'm scared I might think its over, but its not..its happened before. So let me know ok? The point about having hot bath ready at all times is sucky...WHAT A TIME FOR MY HEATING ELEMENT TO BRAKE IN MY HOT WATER HEATER....ahhhhh......I'll boil the damn water if I  have to,,,,haha... I'm doing this come hell or high water!!!!  I'm starting as soon as I get the **** for it.. so let me know what you can..a.s.a.p......thanks, EROTISY

Rose1- Welcome to you too! I am glad you located the recipe from Cindi. You will find support and encouragement here. I think once your mom sees how much the vitamins and supplements help you she'll cool off about the cost. My husband uses these supplements and we write some big checks to GNC and Vitamin World but I don't care. He too has spinal problems, he's been posting on here too ( Skipper) so I think I have an idea of the kind of painful hell you are going through. Hang in there, I don't have any advice for you how to do this, but a lot of good compassionate folks here do, so read on. Take care. IR.

Any comments? I start tommorow detoxing off vicodin. Could use some feedback. Anything would help. I think I have the stuff needed to help. I don't have a lot of friends to support me. I thought my mom was supportive but she bitched this morning about money spent on vitamins. If you have time answer for me. It would help. I'll check back later. Karen

Hi, just a note to say thank-you for all of your support and I finally found the recipe thanks to ***@****. She has been a huge help. I am anxious but I went yesterday to GNC to buy the vitamins needed. I see the Doc. tommorow and know he will help with the prescribed medicines. This is a pain, for lack of a better word. I really want to find a pain medication that works that isn't narcotic. I hope all of you find the help you need. I feel the only way to succees at this is to want to stop. I have struggled for yeard to clean up from Heroin, and have been successful at that. This is so much of a mind game. Could use any feedback!!!! This is better that any ole NA meeting! Thanks! ***@**** welcome all mail. Please!

Hi Nibblenose- welcome! Glad you found this place. You will indeed find support and advice here when you are ready to detox and even if you are not! Keep reading and posting, we are here for you. I found this site over a year ago, my husband posts here too, he is on Oxy for chronic pain, I am an alcoholic who is going through my own struggles even though I am now clean. Take care, IR.

Hi i am new here.I just found the site tonight.I am still on Percs,Hydros,Codiene,or whatever i can get my hands on.I have tried in the past to quit cold turkey but the withdrawels killed me..So i jumped right back on them.I was so glad to see that im not the only one in this boat or have been for that matter.I too want to desperately get off them.In the beginning i was great felt like i was on top of the world.I was a perfect mother,Wife,Person..I loved life again.It stopped all my pain and not just physically,mentally too.My house was always spotless,I was never crabby in the mornings,never had to raise my voice,etc,etc..But know its changing i get nasty mood swings and im jumpin from doc to doc and lying bout why i need them..God what kind of a person am i turning into..But when i do set my goal to get off i am definately going to try the recipe thing.Its nice to know that there is something you can turn to to maybe help you go thru the withdrawels..Wish me luck..Nibblenose

I would love for someone to talk me out of taking the oxys that are comming in the mail on Saturday..
In Nov....I was up to 160 + per day on oxy chewing...yum
By Christmas I was down to about 60 or so....then tapered a little and had 5 days clean..Got back to LA and familly and
NARCO-Access...and started with NORCO....cause I was "feeling a litle shaky".....Mr. Excuses.....never been to an NA meeting so I'm really liking this forum by the way....So Ive been taking 10mg Norco (hydro)..for 8 days now with a peek yesterday of 12 pills, 10 the day before.....but held out till 3:30 today and only took 7...I'm considering the oxy to taper because of the time release...and the pain....My colon always hurts alot from taking narcotics...Am I an idiot or what
Pardon the rambling but I would really like some advise...I feel if I could only go back a week...I would have been fine....staying clean will be a problem though....please comment and suggest..Thanks. M.
