What should I do, how long will it take, who can help me, where do I start to get off NARCOTIC PILLS? Please Help Me!
****EXPLICIT CONTENT - YOU MAY WANT TO DO DRUGS DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE EASILY OFFENDED****
First of all my information is going to be private I have never disclosed this information before I have a reputation to hold and if this info gets out about me I will never hold my title and my current well being in life again. So my name is going to be Ed I am 25 years old!
This is a long story, I will start of saying I am addicted to prescription narcotics. It all started on day at my dads never done pain killers before my dad gives me a Oxycontin 80mg when they were crush able back then I was maybe 19 yrs old, I snorted this Oxycontin and was so high I was accusing my wife she was F%^$ing my dad while his wife was there, I smacked my wife sisters a$$ and so on.
Back pain runs in my family to a very high degree so all my family and friends get percecet, lortab, morphine, any types of oxy, phetinal patches, and/or suboxone strips. They give the stuff out like candy here in Utah it is a very high state literally. Utah has more narcotic robbery and patients than any other state. I couldhave a bright future ahead of me and my 2 kids if I just would stop for good. Ive always wanted to do so much and still do, be a writer, a photographer I just bought a Nikon D5100 package for $1500 (therefore you see the moon as my picture I took that), a weight trainer, a lover, a man with a degree, and good in bed with out pills (pills are like a new form of viagra to me they make me last much longer and please many many women the same thing happens when I body build/exercise too) I am being held back a grade by using pills in a matter of speaking except in this case plenty of grades.
So since my dads Oxycontin I have done pills occasionally I have been able to get off of them no problem at all, it was either I am doing pills and smoking or at the gym pumping iron and not so the gym is the only thing to save me this has gone to far to long I have no motivation but have all the workout resources.
I was in a car accident taking advantage of pills 2 years ago since then I have not been off DRUGS I was getting so many pills from Urgent cares and ERs they stopped me I had a medium settlement coming but money was never an issue to pay for it all. I have my own business were its just me so never an issue but I am tired of it I see someone laughing and I think to myself I wish I could be normal and have a real laugh not a high laugh you may not know what I mean there but I do understand that this is not normal every second of every day my body functions badly and wrong I am not eating much but dint lose weight. After I could not get any pills I started working out then working out and popping pills I would buy off the street, that's when I knew it was bad I was smoking after workouts too.
Then I stopped working out Pills have never been a problem for me I could always get off them. I started using Suboxone Strips under the tongue and they were cheaper lasted all day and worked out best until I couldn't get off them these are the worst drugs I have ever used in my life they a very very powerful and are meant to hold you over until your next prescription or to get you off of pain killers they are a synthetic morphine a substitution for heavy pain killers. When I mean strong I know what I am talking about I am a written journal for pain killers. What I don't know is what to do and that is why I am here I google searched "getting off of pills" and found this site. Now I am off these subs (Suboxone) I tried really hard to get off and did it after a year, the problem is I did it using pills otherwise Suboxone it is the worse depression I have felt EVER. So I am back to using pills I can talk people into stuff for example my doctor while I was getting Subs on the street I was getting 10mg percs form my doc only 20 /mo so I got off the subs and asked for more so I got 60 /mo 10mg percs 15 days later I asked for more I got 15mg oxycodone 90 /mo I am going through them rapidly and will need to buy them on the streets soon. So that's were I am at.
Now this is the first time I can not get off pills and I have no motivation to go work out. I would like some help please I am not going to do anything that will end up on my record I need to do this on my own with the help and support of you guys maybe, family is out of the question obviously. I was planning to leave to Alaska in a couple more days find work and go cold turkey that way with no doctor to give me them monthly, no street drug connections, and not know anyone. That is still my plan but I am scared of how bad I may be off there. Please tell me if you have any advice of what I can take maybe vitamins? or what I can eat or drink of course water but maybe an herbal drink? Depression Pills have never worked for me I have tried 5 kinds all made worse. ANY ADVICE THANKS IN ADVANCE!

HI ED glad you found your way here......I dont think that trip to alaska is a good idea you need to detox somewhere your comfortable and in a strange place is not going to give you that as for your habit its significant but not the worst I have seen you can set this down on your own ......your going to be sick for about a week you said yourself tapering wont work for you so your just going to have to bite the bullet and C/T off ......we will be hear as ytou go threw it to support you its not ez but its doable and you wont be chained to a pill bottle any more once your threwit wiuld be helpful to have someone to look in on you wile you do this a close friend or family member we can guild you threw the basics you just got to be strong enough to make it threw without using so get rid of all the pills sub or anything else you have in the house no safety nets keep reading the posts and post often you can do this good luck and God bless.......Gnarly
Going to Alaska and going into wd's isn't a very good idea. You sure won't be out looking for a job that's for sure.
The best thing to do, is slowly taper off those pills then quit. The least amount you are on when you quit the better, It's pointless to go onto something like methadone or subs to quit them.
Interesting to read that you took subs thinking they were the same as other painkillers like oxycodone or Oxycontin. It is not. subs are a strong opiate, but they are only a partial agonist, not a full agonist like Oxycondone/contin. Subs (Buprenorphine) have a "ceiling" effect if used for pain, they only provide a limited amount of pain control. After a certain amount, even if you took more it would have no effect. It is a strong bonding opoate agent though, which is why it prevents a person from being able to get high on other opiates. Those other opiates aren't able to break the bond the Buprenorphine has on the opioid receptors and get an addict high. It is hard to withdrawal from as well, as you learned. It really puzzles me why you took it in the first place though, because it doesn't get you high. All it does is prevent the wd's from other opiates.
As far as being more amorous in the bedroom, that is also contrary to the effects opiates have on males. It has the exact opposite effect in fact. There may be areaction to the drug that may make you think that, and that is it may cause the prostrate to swell, which can put pressure on the urethra, which in turn causes the bladder to remain full and the subconcious reaction to that.
As far as taking other pills to get off the oxycodone, or to ease the wd's, that's not a good idea, especially any benzo's. The best way is to taper down what you are now on and quit when you are stable on a small amount, and go through the wd's, which shouldn't be too bad. Keep hydrated while doing this, eat foods high in potasium like banana's, take a good multi vitamin with the B complex, take extra vitamin C, and perhaps have some imodium on hand for any stomach problems you may have.

I am in day 5 of my own personal detox using Thomas Recipe. I did not do the tranks..but everything else seems to help. Good luck.
there are a couple of tips more, Ed... RLS is quite stressing at nights, buy HYLANDS restful legs, epsom salts to add to the hot water baths will relieved your muscles, eat lots of bananas ( rich on patassium )... I think the Ltyrosine is better taken after the worst of the wds are past but you will see how you feel ( some people feel jittery so start with a low dose, ok ? )
I am taking 5-10 15mg oxycodone depending on nothing i guess haha, I looked at this guys Thomas so called recipe its amazing so many recommend it I will be buying everything today to prepare for my worst Idk when I will start to stop but I am guessing when I run out I hope.
1st ur story was like many others.Im really glad(and impressed that u got off suboxine).I hear thats AWFUL..The pills r easier to get off of n comparision.So.what r u taking now(daily,how much?).I would suggest getting all the suppliea on he the thomas recipe+amino acid protocal.LOL up n the house s few days and get this done.Im really concerned ur surrounded bu drugs and the double. Whammy is Its ur family.U do need to figure out what ir aftercare care plan is and how ur gonnna avoid all those drugs.Good luck
sweetie...your story was not explictet..and your just like so many of us..dont b so hard on your self. the majority of posts on here are about opiates..and detox. I recommend googling Thomas Recipe and look up a product called...Withdrawl ease. and just keep posting. Detox is one of the hardest things for people to endur. But not impossible. Please stop worrying about if your found out. This addiction is hard enough w/o all that added stress. You did good finding this site nearly 24 hrs. a day you'll find a "friend" on here. and it gives you opportunity to vent your frustrations at the least. Go to alaska and go shopping for thomas recipe items. dont forget withdrawl ease. You take care and keep posting
This link may help you about your question. it is a new forum here that addresses these questions about rehab, wish you luck !!!
and if you quit by yourself, we will be here supporting you during wds....ok, we will be here supporting you whatever the way you choose

Thanks, and your right about the diarrhea it comes with all of this I have tried quitting before and know all these horrifying thing that come along. Suboxone is what I was talking about in my story here it is very very bad stuff. Thanks for the advice on Imodium I will look it up. As for weed goes I think sadly it would help too but I don't like the drugs in my system as for the pills I am legit.
Hi buddy. First let me tell you how sorry I am to hear what your going through. I have done so myself in the past and not to be gay or anything but if I could I'd give you a hug and tell you its gonna be alright. Now on to the problem... The good news about oxy withdrawel is if you can get past 72 hours you will be past the worst of the physical aspect of the withdrawal. The bad news is the symptoms are intense. You will get sweats,chills,nausea,you will feel like you want to crawel out of your skin, etc. Take some imodium to help with diareah, some people say smoking pot can help some. Now there is a medical choice. I have a friend that found a doctor that prescribes a drug called seboxin. She was very addicted to oxy and said the seboxin totally took away all withdrawel symptoms. Do a web search to see if any doctors near you prescribe this. Good luck my friend, P.S. Praying doesn't hurt either.
I would like to go to an anonymous rehab if anyone would know of a free clinic that isn't full of a bunch of thugs that just want to get back on or are required to go. I will travel the country to get there.
Hi, Ed welcome here :)... i would advice you to read as many posts as you can... knowledge is power, you know... you will find some helpful tips on the health pages ( right side of your screen ) ..read the Thomas Recipe and the amino Acid protocol... but there are also articles about diet, aftercare and very useful info that it is good to know about this addiction of us...
i am not sure about going to Alaska in two days while you are in the middle of wds, can't you delay it ?
