I have been on lorcet plus for over 10 years.  I take 3-4 every day.  i'm trying to quit cold turkey, but it's scary.  I am unable  to go to rehab, so i'm doing this on my own.  any help?

If you have been using this long and are using this many pills you will need help.  If you can't go to detox then get a doctor to give you subonxone.  While there is a lot of controversy about it if you are this far into your addiction you will need help.  Go for help and get into NA and your life will change.  Your liver can't take these pills and you are going to do permanent damage if you keep going.  Find a doctor and get on the subs it is better than using and killing yourself.

Yeah I agree, I couldnt c/t off of 20+ pills a day through time I cut it down to about 5-10 a day, then I started going a couple days without then a day with. The w/d's from that many pills a day aren't pretty. See a doctor or check into rehab.

[dominosarah]

I dont think you should ct off this amount either.  That is alot of pills a day.  You really need to do this under a doctors supervision ASAP.            sara

I DO NOT THINK YOU SHOULD CT OFF 50 PILLS A DAY

[avisg]

First off how much tylenol are in them .I think you should discuss subjoin with a rehab center you need to get off the pills asap the tylenol is going to kill your liver and it could kill you so the faster the better .if you cant do rehab look into outpatient or a sub doctor .let us know what happens.

Welcome to u...the forum is a good place to be

the cash involved with that level of use is alot..plus the tylenol if ur DOC has tylenol in it..I am so glad u r trying to stop

What is ur plan?  A high dose can be tough..tapering is an option but hard unless u r very disciplined//and addicts often are not when it comes to their DOC..do-able for most
I do not usually mention the use of maintenance narcotics to stop with...But have pm-ed with peeps who used this route short term on high doses of narcotics///aftercare included..ur habit is do-able..do not ever think u can not do this cos u can

What is ur DOC?  What methods have u tried before to stop?  How many times have u tried to stop?
U r welcome to pm me if u would like...i can feel it in ur post that u want this //and that is half the battle

I think youll be ok..i did rehab once and i went back out..you have to be ready to quit..50 pills a day is a lot but i was a taking just about that much myself just as little as 9 days ago..i think you can do it...i was swallowing 30-40 vicodins a day on a good day on a bad one id only have 20...our bodies get used to that amount and we didnt get that way over night..NOW if someone off the street took as many as we did they'd prolly OD instantly BUT since you and I both worked our way up to taking that amount our bodies were able to function because we became used to having such mass amounts in our systems... trully i think you can do it on your own. IF you REALLY REALLY REALLY want to

You need to find an inpatient detox and rehab center. That is a huge dose and you really need to get some professional help with the detox and the aftercare. I usually recommend people try on their own with aftercare help the first couple of times, but this dose is absolutely dangerous due to the amount of Tylenol you're taking. Find some numbers tomorrow and start calling rehab facilities. You can get through this...find some help and grab your future.

You are on the right site for sure.  50 pills is ALOT.  Is their anyway you can taper?

[dbrowneyedgirl]

YOU said it YOURE commited to this. wake up tomorrow with the goal not use for the entire day.. you dont have to worry about friday or saturday, you only have to worry about tomorrow..its one day at a time for us addicts. we cannot get ahead of ourselves and think about the future because we only have and only live in the now..TODAY you've decided you've had enough. thats what YOU did TODAY. that is  the very first step in recovery. its not easy and i understand its a life long battle that WE are fighting BUT you are not alone! there are SO many ppl in the this world going through what you are. Theres so many ppl on this website that are here to help you. YOU CAN DO IT all you have to do is set your mind to it and remember that YOU have control to say NO TO DRUGS and ONLY you can do that..get rid of all the drugs you have NOW before you go to bed because believe me if theyre there in the morning you are going to wanna take them. im not sure why or how you get them but us addicts cannot have drugs in our posession. ok now get ready for the hard part the next 3-5 days are going to be REALLY REALLY hard on you BUT you will get thru them. you'll start feeling better after the first 5-6 days.. youll have withdrawls but they wont last forever... on my first day withoput drugs i did absolutely nothing but stayed in bed and wished i was dead. the second day and since then i've been attending a narcotics anonymous meeting daily. if i didnt go there for support hope & strength i dont think i would be here sitting and typing on my computer right now.. i need NA to get me thru the day to remind me that i am a full blown addict and i also need this site for information and help from and to others.. so tomorrow if you can pretend youre deathly ill and take care of yourself take in plenty of fluids and ghet lots and lots of rest if you possibly can AND please please look up a nacotics anonymous meeting in your area..good luck to you..you CAN do it.. please let us know how youre doing
