Need support new
Hi I'm new and looking for support. I stopped 10 30 mg oxycodone day 14 days ago plus xanax soma etc. Looking for support for mental stuff.
Hi and Welcome! There are so many people on here who know just how you are feeling. Stopping is easy, staying stopped and dealing with the mental torture is where the real work begins. Find support, put up roadblocks whatever you need to do to get through 1 minute at a time if you have to. 30 days, 60 days from now physically you will feel so much better and you'll be seeing your situation through different eyes. Hang in there, you can do this! Stick around and keep posting!
It won;'t take a year. I promise, give it 2 months! It gets so much better even them.
Gotta pick niece upfrom work ill B back inna hr or so! SONNISSA YOU CAN DO It! Best of luck hang in there Hon xoxo
Well to B honest I cold turkey the xanex bc I ranout early and the oxy I really thought I was goin to really die so some1 brought over subox-strips and only 4tht was I able to stop! But I live in a crazy drugged out pilled out fam situation so there right there 24/7... I Do know I have to leave but not an option rite now. What you said Littlebit makes sense but scares me tht I wont make it a yr until my depression slows down so I'm starting counciling Wednesday to hopefully help with talking but I think all of you will help more. I'm so thankful my sis got me wifi today and put me on here!
Did you cold turkey the xanex?? Here is a post that I was given when I asked the same kinda question..helped me a lot!
You have to remember how opiates work, and why you feel depressed etc. when you quit taking them and after you are over the withdrawals and often why we keep craving long after the physical withdrawals are over.
Opiates bound to the opioid receptors in your brain and body. They release their artificial endorphins to them, and block the bodies natural endorphins. After a while the neurons that produce the body's natural endorphins disappear. There is no need for them so they just don't rejuvenate like they would normally.
When you stop taking the opiates, they leave your opioid receptors bare, and they are calling out for your body's natural endorphins, but there isn't any there at first. You body has to repopulate the neurons that make them, and this takes time.
Endorphins like dopamine control your moods, anxiety, sadness, anger, happiness, pain etc.
You will slowly get your "old self" back as these neurons repopulate and begin increasing their endorphins production. After being off the opiates for a month, they should be about 45-50% of normal, and be back to normal within a year.
So hang in there, you will feel better and better as the months roll by.
Try keep busy and keep your mind focused on positive things instead of dwelling on the depression, anxiety, etc. that are only temporary and will disappear as your endorphins return to normal.

Hi Karma! I am currently taking near the same amount of Oxycodone that you were taking! I desperately want to stop! You give me hope and inspiration that maybe I can do it! 14 days is great! How did you do it and how were the withdrawals for you? I would love to hear more details if you feel comfortable! Keep it up! Best wishes and thanks!
the mental stuff takes awhile. The brain is having to work now and it is NOT happy! It seems to get better a little each day, but the brain is trying to remember how to make those connections again and it is not overnight. Guess you could say we got into this mess over time and we have to be willing to let our bodies the time it needs to reset.
