.....or, that you were taking 8 5mg oxycodone's/day???
And now you cut back to 4 pills??
Hey Welcome Aboard!!
YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!!
So were you doing 40mg oxycontin?; and if so 1 tab/day???
And you got a new script for 20mg oxy???
Just clarify a lit'l......it's late in the day, and i'm probably just not reading well.
Wow, I am really afraid. Just yesterday I thought I had the flu. I really didn't have any reason not to think that b/c everyone around school is getting sick. I had the runs for 2 days and every bone in my body hurt. Then I filled my perscription for Oxy and all my symptoms went away. That is when I found this site. Now I'm really scared. I was perscribed Oxy's for pain and have been on 40 mg for about 6 monthes. I've never imigined that I could get addicted - I knew the power of them, but I thought that as long as my body still had ligimate pain, I wouldn't get the addiction. Now that I know, I need to get off them. The script I just filled is for half - 20 mg. Is this what tapering is? How long should I take 20mg - or should I just stop cold turkey. This would be hard, I'm a mom of 2 little ones and I work full-time. I can't really afford to take any time off. There isn't a person around here that I could tell this too that would understand. There is no-one in my family that is / or has ever been addicted to anything, so I don't think they will understand. I'm feeling very alone. I need to get off these. Please help me.
how is the detox going? what day are you on? i have 7 ambien sleeping pills and 7 valium, i'm planning on taking my last oxy on thursday holy **** TOMORROW..... took the weekend off work so i'll have fri. thru tuesday off. from your experience should i take more time off? how are you doing? at what point is it the worst for you, day 2,3, ?? i keep telling my boyfriend 'maybe i should wait til the kids aren't around to do this' or 'i can't take off work we need the money' but he knows i'm stalling. he's going to be here to massage my back and is taking my keys. i sisn't realize my body was addicted to them until i ran out last week; i almost wish i hadn't found out yet, ignorance certainly was bliss. let me know how you're doing. -- anyone else with any extra advice as to supplies to have please respond... i can't find the thomas's recipe but i am already downing o.j. and am picking up a multi-vitamen tomorrow.
Are you hanging in there? You're going through the hard part now but its almost over. Please don't give up. Life really is better without the pills. I promise. :0)
Ha! That is funny, At least you got boobs, I have 3 brothers, I was the only girl, and was total tomboy, Still in a training bra and 41 yrs old. That's sad, Why even bother to wear a bra, right! I played football, wrestling, basketball, swimming, tennis and baseball/softball. Now I can't even pick up a tennis ball. It is 11:30 and just getting out of bed. I do feel better, just my back hurts really bad and legs do not want to move, It is freezing cold today, so much for trying to get outside. Just want to stay in bed all day. I am still following the recipe. I just hope to get more energy like real soon. I do not know how much longer I can hold out. Your advise is great. I will take this one day at a time, do a whole lot of praying and keep my fingers crossed. I still have 1/2 oxy on my dresser. Maybe I will stay strong enough to have it framed. You know how people have their first dollar framed after opening a new business. I will frame this 1/2 oxy and call it "The Pill that owned me" It really did, I had to have it to breathe, function, go outside, just to try to live life itself. I fealt without it I would die. But I didn't. I am still hanging on. Peace to all!
