Take Vic's want off, after surgery

[freshstart01]

Okay.... so i've been reading. I take a lot of Vic a day and have for quite sometime now. maybe 2 years. it's time to quit. i'm sick of it, don't want it, and my kids faces make me feel gross. i am a professional -- wife, mother, etc. anyhow, i am getting surgery and will obviously need it for about 5 days after surgery, but plan on weening and quitting cold turkey the 2nd week. i am very head strong. extremist, whatever i do, i take passion in it, so i figure if i just reverse my thinking, i will think of my kids, the cute things they do, no more worry about pills, no getting sick, no thinking of next dose, calling dr, to refill all that crap. DONE. dont' want it anymore. so -- i'm going to buy vitamins, i've kinda told my husband, but he does not know how many i take. i'm hoping i can make it. my kids and family depend on me for everything, so it's going to be hard. also i'm getting put under anesthesia, i heard that cleans you out a bit, is that true?

So I had surgery .they gave me roxicet, which is a form of oxy 5/325. They do nada, zilch! I don't get it. Thought they were a stringer med then norco???? I have my norco . Took a few since not much pain relief . I wonder if I should take my norco abs use the not so much working 5 mg of oxy for my withdrawal next week on Friday as planned????

Thanks for encouraging words . I only have 8 days to cleanse after pain script, so I'll be sick second week. Hope it's enough time. I'll have to deal. Gonna follow Thomas recipe. I'll keep u all posted. From beginning stages till better. If okay or good enough to want to write. Took my last dose before surgery at 7 pm today. Will have to take 2 in am. So I don't withdraw while in hospital before surgery. That would be bad. Nurse said a sip of water and 1 pill is okay. Have to take at least two. Yuck. Sooooo sick of this! God bless

I'm not sure about the anesthesia, but I'm betting you'll be ok quitting cold turkey.  Keep posting and Good luck with the surgery.
