You are one very lucky and/or blessed person - -- There are very very few who go as far as you have without going further - - ---  Almost all of us wish we would have listened to someone or gotten smarter faster than we did so we didn't have to hit the bottom so hard - - some even harder than others.   I wish you well - - you sound like you will go far.  Best to you.  Ochealed

I'm not withdrawing from oxy....but from dilaudid.  I am about 6 or 8 days in.  I got cramps, diarreah, threw up, achy muscles and the worst was the way I was shaking.  ALeve works for pain, immodium for the stomach....what helped me the most on my very worst days (3-5>) was just to talk  at this forum....people here have all gone thru it....Just hold on.....I am a fat 65 year old grandmother with all kinds of medical problems.....you are a strong young man....Just grit your teeth and thank God you will will not die from an OD.   Love  Jerrri

hey skiddy, is it possible for you to get to a doctor to talk to him about depression. it seems that depression and addiction coincide with each other and if you fixed the one problem, then maybe both could be fixed. just a thought, but nobody should have to suffer with depression, there are things that can be done for it.

my daughter started on oxys....when she couldn't afford them she went to heroin and cocain.  She got a "good" batch shot them both up and died of an overdose.....Please stop.....Love  Jerri

Why is that man? You seem like a real interesting person in my opinion..drugs mess with your brain..you gotta get used to feeling happy sober again..do you remember enjoying life before drugs?

I would have to say that every single person on here is a good liar..when your addicted to something you can lie your way seemingly anywhere. i told soo many lies when i was buying pills and sometimes i will still catch myself like bending the truth about where im going to my parents and i catch myself and im just like why am i lying when i have nothing to hide anymore? anyway when your clean and you finally have a clear mind you feel a lot better about yourself. you can wake up, look in the mirror, and respect the person staring back at you..i dont know about you..but when i was snorting oxys i didnt like looking in the mirror

And the truth comes out my friend..i was gonna ask you to tell me about the individual that gives away oxys because those two things don't usually go hand-in-hand..you must be a pretty bright kid to convince your mom your having w/ds from weed haha..you need to just pick something you love to do and go for it while your still as young as you are..no need to be wasting days getting messed up during the easiest years of your life..until you go to college that is.

ya know what would be even cooler, is getting off everything, getting a hot chick, having some cool things, like whatever you like to do and live a great life. man, for awhile i thought drugs were cool too, they made me feel great, but like you said the weed does nothing now, and that's what happens with other drugs. after a short time the fun wears off and by that time your addicted and can't stop. life becomes hell and if your lucky enough to live through it, it's a tough road to recovery. ask anyone here and they will tell you what a mistake it was to use. stop now, because i promise you it's not worth it. im so happy to see you post and talking about this. please trust me on this, it's not a cool life. im rooting for ya man.

Yeah man It's probably not fully registering what we are saying unless you really want to quit, but don't go back man. Believe me I fully admit I would love to have that feeling one more time but I know the baggage that comes with it and I don't want that. I can honestly say I now that I beat the w/ds I am just going to avoid them at all costs. Luckily for me the people around me don't use so its not hard for me to avoid them as long as i make a conscious effort. If i ever have surgery again or something that requires i take something i will take as small an amount as possible and toss the rest..its just not worth having something run your life..this is neither here nor there but who the heck was willing to give up 90 free OC's?
