LARCETS AND WEED?

[GLOCK]

Hi all i was wondering if you can help me .
I'm a 37 year old male i do realy well in life i have a good family and love life but i've been doing drugs for 24 years and like weed i realy don't like any other drugs any more .
I started doing larcets aroung a year ago on and off and i find lately if i don't have thim i feel like i'm turning inside out!
I use to smoke weed 5 to 10 time aday but if i smoke now i feel like i do when i'm not doing larcets.
I know i need help but i can't go to rehab i have a family that loves me and i love them i just want to feel better can any one tell me how long i have to not sleep,eat or feel good before it go's away?
Any info would be cool.
Any sites on LARCET addiction would be a great help.

Hi Thomas...I can't help but notice how you go out of your way to be so incredibly helpful to everyone here. I personally have taken your incentive as my own and am tapering down (by strngeth and qty) and my goal is to only use 20 vicodin per week. I don't think I could just let the migraines go untreated...but hopefully I can get by with 2.5 a day. I stepped down from 8 norco to 4 (last week) and then from 4 to 3..then from 3 norco to 3 vicodin 7.5/500. I feel pretty lousy right now but I want to do this, I just think that very slow methodical tapering will be my key. Didn't have a problem cutting the dose in half in one day, but now it's getting a little hard. I will continue to come here for encouragement and support. I had some sleepless nights and the worst depression...not even a double dose of my anti depressant helped. My arms trembled uncontrolably, and I felt like I was dying when I switched strengths, but it passed quickly. I wished I hadn't flushed all the methadone/clonopin last year though, that's for sure.

Anyway, here's cheers to everyone...keep fighting the good fight! God bless, Beth

Thomas, thanks for the clarification re weed & withdrawal. I thought the weed might act like the benzos, but you have more knowledge of this than I.
You're also dead-on about the brand-name Imodium. The generic brands seem to produce cramps and other "Fun" side effects, while the brand-name Imodium just does its job. The advice to take two at a time is also wise & to be followed.
Irony: beore I ever started abusing Rx drugs, I missed a lot of work due to real, honest-to-goodness physical illness. I was taking Valium & Zoloft at the time but not abusing them. I was also taking Fioricet now & then, which I was abusing. But I wasn't staying home so I could stay high! I was too damn sick to  go to work. So now I try like hell to make it to work no matter how bad I feel. I also avoid Fioricet on workdays.I'm still very resentful at the people who assumed I was absent due to drug use. I feel I've been condemned without appeal. Any thoughts on how to handle this? Milo
PS Thomas, I'm in the writing game, too.

haven't seen wizard all day  this makes me nervous  he is at that one month mark I think.....hopefully he is at a picnic....one day absent usually is no biggie here but for wiz, I know he usually posts at least once      love to all     ~~cin~~

I am sure Thomas is OK, you are right he is probably at a picnic or something like that.. I feel the same you do though, that is why I was wondering about Spook when he left however Thomas filled me in a little... I know I leave for awhile cause I had things to do but always come back.. Weekends seem to be when we have time to come here but holiday weekends can throw us off... Don't worry Cin... all is well... ;-)
