Thomas's DeTox Reciepe

[DocHolliday]

Would anyone know where I can find his formula. Also, thanks for the replies. For the last two full weeks I have reduced the "doses" I take per day. Going from at least 5 and usually 7-8 per day, I am now just "needing" to have some in the morning, afternoon and before bed. I also have reduced the amount per dose by a few pills. I have been reading alot of info on some Narcotics Detoxification Under Anesthesia clinic. Seems to me in a nut shell, they put you under for a few hours, and prescribe a drug such as Naltrexone for a week or two and thats it? Well, thanks for listening. P.S. Wiz, thanks for the support...Peace Out...Doc

Hi JB. I think it was Skip asking if your trying to get off the pain meds and was this the reason for the Darvon ( or Darvocet).
I think Skip and I both read it's the docs idea. I had a (so called) doc put me on darvacet once for my pain. I thought it was suppose to be a good pain med. I was so upset when I found out how useless it was.But I tried to deal with the pain. I'm a Christian JB but suicidal thoughts ran through my head so often. No human being, heck, no dog, should have to suffer with pain like I have because of the stupidity of some doctors. You have some real health problems. Ask him if Darvocet would be good enough for him if he were in your shoes. Do you think you can have a good quality of life with the pain you have? I don't think you'd be on the pain meds if you could. Life should be worth living. Find a real doctor that isn't afraid to write you real pain meds for real pain. I hope everything works out alright. As always, your in my prayers.
God Bless, Kerrie

Thank you everyone. It means a lot. I'm not feeling so good right now but I'll try to come back in the morning with a hello how are you.

And right you are, Kip. I've got the rest of my life to go back. Now if only I can just hold that thought ...

I'm no expert, but the first time my husband went into detox/rehab 2 1/2 years ago, it was for herion, this past time it was for oxys/methadone.
My opinion (and this is only what i've heard), herion is actually the easier opiate to get off of.  It lasts the shortest amount of time in the system.  The physical discomfort shouldn't last anymore than 1 week, and you can be easily detoxed with methadone.  I'm talking only 5 days of methadone tops, no more, because you don't want to substitute one drug for another.  Oxys are a different story, but herion, i think you have a great chance of getting through it quicker than you think!
Can you enter yourself into a 1 week detox possibly.  It will be them mental part afterwards which will be most difficult.  Immediate counseling, and 90 meetings in 90 days in a MUST, and get a good sponser!!! If you are really ready and serious about quitting, you can do this and it will be quicker than you think!
GO FOR IT!!!!  It's very much within your reach!!!!
Like i said, it stays in the system least of all opiates!!!!!!
Good luck and be strong!!!!!  Please seek counseling because the old 'H' draw is strong, there's just something about it!!!
I haven't touched the evil 'H' in about 2 1/2 years now, and i snorted, shot, but never ate it!!!  Your stomach will love you for giving it up for good!!!!!
Good luck and prayers!!!

heroin? Dross eaters. at least you won't have the junky's V shaped
scars in the crook of each arm. It's been 20 years since my iv
abuse days and my junky V track pattern still shows up when ever
i get sunburned. really cute huh?

Thanks, Kip.

It really does help to know that withdrawal won't kill me.

What a mess I've gotten in. It scares the hell out me.

Anyway, thanks again. I'll keep you posted.

Welcome to the forum! always room for one more!
I've been an iv drug abuser since i was 14. I'm 50 now. i've been
clean for 18 years. in june of 2000 i had two cervical disks removed and had the spin at these point fused. In january of
thia year the surgeon told me in one breath, "one of the fussion
failed- it must be redone after you quit smoking for 60 days
prior to surgery.This happened on a wednesday, by the following
saturday afternoon i had a shotgun in my mouth thinking about ventolating my head. People can think what they want- i just couldn't do another summer like the last one. well i got my 72
hours of suicide watch in the local spin-bin. This may I had the
fussion redone. It turns out things were much worse than the good
doc thought. the titanium plate he had installed had 3 broken
screws, and the rest were lose. This ass-hole told me, "i thought
you were just working me for drugs until i got you open and saw
how loose that plate was." He never bothered to apolgise.

sounds like you have a decent supply of drugs to detox. use the
valiuum or other benzo to get sleep. Taper off thes drugs (the
benzos) as soon as you no longer need them, as they can cause
a serious addiction of there own. i've never used the other drugs
so i don't really know about them. Just remember, an opiate
jones won"t kill you. you might wish you were dead but it will
not kill you. I would plan on about 10 days of real bad symptoms
before you start to feel beter. When your appetite returns you
will know you've made it! the last time i kicked, it was on the
floor of a county jail in johson county, Iowa. I was the main
featured amusement for inmates and jail keepers alike. I went
cold on this one, hell i didn't have a choice!

Any how: best of luck, things really get do get beter. it won't
happen on your time table, but it will happen!
