i remember you...do you remember me?  you were around when schlub and witchywoman posted a lot weren't you?  anyway...welcome back.  i had posted that i was going to leave last week, but i realized that i still need this board and some of the "old timers" that have helped me so much.

anywho...it sounds to me like you have something else going on besides w/d...you said you are going on day 11...that is great.  maybe you should see a dr. - especially if you have the runs and stuff - you don't want to become dehydrated...and especially if you have many other medical issues to deal with.  i hope you see someone...this place can't cure everything:)  keep us posted.

The recipe is for cold turkey self-detox from opiates. I used it for Vicodin WD, but many find it works for any opiate. If you clear it with your doctor first, I suppose you could try taking the amino acid L-Tyrosine to recover some energy and brighten your mood. Here's the section that deals with that. Get it at a health food store. Good luck. Thomas

Upon rising (empty stomach), take the L-Tyrosine. Try 2000 mgs, and scale up or down, depending on how you feel. You can take up to 4,000 mgs. Take the L-Tyrosine with B6 to help absorption. Wait about one hour before eating breakfast. The L-Tyrosine will give you a surge of physical and mental energy that will help counteract the malaise. You may continue to take it each morning for as long as it helps. If you find it gives you the "coffee jitters," consider lowering the dosage or discontinuing it altogether. Occasionally, L-Tyrosine can cause the runs. Unlike the runs from opiate WD, however, this effect of L-Tyrosine is mild and normally does not return after the first hour. Lowering the dosage may help.

With breakfast, take the mineral supplement (Strong wide-spectrum mineral supplement with at least 100% RDA of Zinc, Phosphorus, Copper and Magnesium).

As soon as you can force yourself to, get some mild exercise such as walking, cycling, swimming, etc. This will be hard at first, but will make you feel considerably better.

PLEASE NOTE: If you have any medical complications, first check with your doctor before detoxing to verify that this regimen is safe for you.

PS.. to everyone. I realized that I was posting in too many threads and was having a hard time finding who was posting to me. So, I will stay in here when I write.
I do read in the other threads though.

Hey and thanks for your input to my post's.  This is my 7th day of cutting back on the oxycontin to 50 mg daily.  I really want to try to tolerate my pain at this level and just sit on 50 mg for awhile (month or 2 maybe) and then if possible taper on down.  I was at 120 mg. to 150 mg. OC daily and it got to the point that I didn't know what was hurting and why. I worried about other pains the Oxy. was maybe masking.  I'm 44 and don't want to live my life on medication and be addicted. I still cannot accept my medical issues fully and am in hopes and keep searching for a new procedure to help me. I was a very active, energetic person. Now I cannot even pick in my flower beds. I'm just about to loose my business that I worked so hard to build. (NOt to get off the subject, but has anyone heard of a procedure where they inject Botox into the muscles that are in spasms, to relax the muscle?) I have expressed concerns many times to my doc about addiction and one that has always been assured to me, was that if I was taking as perscribed, that when and if I could, I would be able to come off Oxy. pretty easy with tapering.  I don't think I believe that.  There is so much I want to write and sometimes I have difficulties putting it all into words to you all out there. I got alittle more sleep last night, but my problem is that I wake up in the wee hours with my legs just KILLING me.  I started with getting in the hot tub, then put a pain patch on and took a xanax. It lasted from about midnight to 4 am, and then it was up and I was pacing the floor. This afternoon I'm feeling better and am going to get out and walk with my daughter. Maybe shop around Goodies for a few. She is just getting cheated from her mom I feel. I just don't want to do the wrong thing and put my body into a spin. I hope I'm thinking right about that if I've made it into my 7th day of tapering the Oxy, then I'll be okay with that so long as I can get through the effects of the tapering.  I also would like to know this, am I to late for the Thomas Recipe? OR can I get the ingredients and continue to take the B6 and vitamins? Please help me on this. Thanks to you all who read and take your time to answer. Just to let you know. I do appreciate the feedback.
