NEED HELP DESPERATELY WITH OXYCODONE WITHDRAWAL

I have been on oxycodone for 2 years, it started out with 5 10/325 percs a day to now being prescribed 4 30mg roxys a day but when I get them I go way overboard and then for 2 weeks I have NOTHING unless I find some to buy, its sickening to the point I just want my family NORMAL  again, I have none left now and I'm totally sick of living this way, I had one total yesterday and I'm felling the withdrawals now, I can't sleep, I'm aching all over, later today the chills and sneezing and more pain will happen,I want help from my dr and I go to a pain clinic but I have a reg. dr also in which I havent been to in like 6 months so I dont know if I can go back, Ive read alot about withdrawals and what I need like in the Thomas recipe, I'm pretty much broke though right now and would love to try some things but cant, I will try to get what I need tomorrow and see if I can get a dr to prescribe me valium, clonodin because my blood pressure is high anyway and when I dont take my meds its through the roof, I cant take meds to make me sleep all the time as I have 2 children that are in school plus need me, I'm confused, and wonder if my dr will even help me, hes a suboxone dr too and Im afraid he will want me on it which I dont want either. Any advice?

Hi!  If you can ask your doc for clonidine that is all you should need.  Its the BP med used in detoxes all over the world!  I've used it, and it basically stops the bad WDs.  You will still need the thomas stuff especially imodium, but it cuts the WDs by at least 80 percent.  If I had kids at home, that's the only thing I would use.  No benzos for sure!  Plus, clonidine will make you a little sleepy.  I had restless arms too.  Drink apple juice and gatorade and take a warm bath.  Then roll your upper half of your body and your arms up in a warm blanket as tight as you can.  That helped me.

I hope the doc can help you!  Remember....you don't want benzos!  They are no fun to stop!

Hang in there please! I'm on day 6 and I see some hope for the first time in 6 years. And I know this is cliche, but please go to a meeting. I've been to 2 and its already been life changing. The only job you have today is to stay clean, that's it. just keeping pushing, it does get better, its just not a fast process. As addicts we are use to immediate satisfaction, but its not like that now. Have patients! Best of luck to you.
