No, no, no. Don't even think that way. I've had A LOT happen to me too....but, you can do this. There are some things I prefer not to share just yet, but, if you want to private message me....I'll tell you some of it. Now is the time.

[oxy22]

BUT to be honest, lets face it.. not gonna sugar coat.. the Mental habit and aspect plus agony might make me relapse, i already have it in my head that when (person) gets his script filled i will only take a half a day.. i know i need to get out of that mind set.. but omg its the hardest thing ive ever benn through... and ive been through ALOT...

[oxy22]

i just got a feeling that came over me of Peace.. I accually feel great, this just started about an hour ago, last half of a 10mg hydro was yesterday at 3pm.. so im roughly 30 hours in..

[oxy22]

thank you alot!!  your right and now im just taking a multi vitimn, aleve,iron,imodiun and ibiprophin 800, Nyquill has the oposit offect, makes my legs reaaly crazy.. im having very mild w/d symptoms today for some reasion... its my full first day off of opiates.. i did taper down a lot b4 hand also...

Definitely no 5 hour energy if you've got anxiety.  I know that the low energy stinks, but that is making the anxiety worse for you.  Benadryl gave me HORRIBLE restlessness.  It's supposed to make you sleepy, I know.  BUT......it has the opposite effect when you're in WD.  I'd stop both of those.  Stick with something like Melatonin or Valerian Root.  Those will help sleep and anxiety.  Save the 5 hour energy for when you get through the WDs.  It might help you then but not now!

If you'll google about taking Imodium for WDs, you'll get some helpful info from people who have used it to take the edge off.  It really does help other things besides the diarrhea.  Just don't overdo it.  Also, you can try a dose of Nyquil at night.  NOT half the bottle.  Just a dose or two.  It has an ingredient that can help RLS therefore giving you some sleep without being on something addicting.  A lot of docs give people sleeping pills or benzos during WD, but I don't recommend that. Not at all!  That's just trading one drug for another.

Try the things I listed, and stay away from the energy shots and benadryl.  You'll feel much, much better!  This will be over soon. Just hang in there! :)

congrats on 24 hours!  just keep pushing thru and stay strong! it's so worth it! and so are you!!  

[ariley13]

Congrats on your 24 hours! You are doing great! Just hang in there and keep fighting. The physical stuff will get better.

[WODAgirl]

Woohoo!

[oxy22]

24 hours and counting!!

[laurel453]

if you are feeling anxiety, 5 hour energy might not be the best idea now, too much caffeine... keep pushing yourself and congrats on your clean day :)

[oxy22]

I try to stay busy also.. btw the fact that i went two days clean then took a half of 10 mg lortab that made me sick, like my body rejected the pill.. is that normal?

[oxy22]

Thanks to everybody!  Ive had about 4 baths today.. helps for a few hours.. i have been taking 800 mg ibeprophen, benidrill, aleve,bc powders,multivitimin, imodium, and 5 hour energy shots.. I dont have any pain meds, thank god 4 that.. cuz id probably take a half..   I am moving back to florida soon from this ******* atlanta hell hole and i know it was either now or after i move to detox.. so i went from 60 mg oxy contin to 10mg lortab.. two a day for a week.. today is my first full day pill free.. yesterday i had a half and the day before that i had a half.. the key for me was to taper down.. i cant go cold turkey, ive done that b4 and i thought i was going to die.. these pills have ruiend everything.. My symptoms now are mild rls, stomach ach, no energy, anxiety, and exsessive sweating.. I feel aweful but still have my appitite

[toothfairie]

hi...from one Floridian to another....just wanted to lend my support!  you can do it....we've all been right where you are....the days will speed up with time...just keep posting for support and know that these feelings and symptoms will pass....i agree also, if you are healthy, just flush the remaining pills and get it over with in a few days....*****, yes....but you will be so glad you did it!  and great that you deleted your contacts....that says alot about you being serious....your life will be so much better!  hang in there my FL friend  :)

[LeaAnn807]

Hi!  Welcome here!  You have a chance to make this end right now!  Just don't take another pill no matter what.  As long as you're healthy, get rid of the remaining pills, and just get if over with.  It won't be any fun, but you can certainly do it.  Use the Thomas recipe.  I used some of the things from it but not all.  I'd never taken vitamins in my life till then, but I took any advice I could get.  Cal/mag/zinc and potassium and Imodium and Hyland's leg cramps......those things saved my life. Then when I realized that I had no energy, I started Super B Complex vitamin.  It worked wonders. I barely could walk to my bathroom to take a hot bath!!! (those are life savers too!)  Just do whatever it takes to stop.  That's all that matters!  :)

Woot woot. Zombie crew. Background on this, Back2Me is a day ahead of me, so he's been my kicking buddy all week. Stay on here.

[Back2Me]

All I can say is you should quit now. We have a bloody EPIC group of people quitting right now helpin each other out and you do NOT want to miss out on being a part of that shet!

If I do say so myself. Which I just did...so I guess I would.....what?
We all need sleep. Sooooorrry :)

But yes you are feeling perfectly normal for detoxing. For you it should not be that bad. Ok It will be bad and it will be a biatch for a while but in few weeks you will be good as new.

-proud zombie crew member since...um...LAST SATURDAY NIGHT AT 6pm!

[WODAgirl]

But worth it!!!!!

[D713]

I know this world is gonna keep comming but it's true and only thing is stay focuse and stay strong!!! I know how you feel....trust me =/ man...I just want everyone on here to get through this W/D. The worst feeling ever.

[WODAgirl]

Yep, you're young. Don't be me in 10 years...

[oxy22]

Thank you.. yea.. im staying clean.. better said then done.. but i need a lifestyle change which is happening.. i dont believe you can or i should say it will be more difficult to stay clean if you dont make changes in your life.. Im very stong person but thoes lil pills have lots of power that we all must overcome at some point.

[quitinoxys]

Yes I know the mental part is the worst part but you sound like you have a great attitude and that half the battle. Good job on getting rid of your contacts. I know you will be another success story here on MH.---Rick

[Kera109]

First, congrats on weaning down. You came down alot which should really help you have a milder withdrawal. Unfortunately, withdrawal is still withdrawal (yuck!) I do think you will be feeling better soon if you do not take another pill.
