When will I feel better

[Radiostar55]

Right now it's been 73 hours free of Oxycontin and Oxycodone..I was also taking 2-3 Soma muscle relaxers a night...My Doc said it was a wonder I didn't od. He put me on Diazipine, I feel like a zombie, but so far its help with WD..Is it the Diazipine or WD that are making me feel like crap?  Yawning has subsided some still running nose, and had diraheaa today for the first time..Not bad though.. I havn't sleep good in 2 nights..driving my poor wife crazy!
My Doc said I could take an ambein tonite after being off Diazpine for at least 5 hours.  Any advice would be helpful

Thanks

Get some immodium as it might get worse..also get some theraflu and aleve for the body aches.  Take hot baths and drink tea and water like crazy.  Get out and go for a walk and stay busy.  Read a book it will take your mind off of it before you know it.  You can do it.  Go to a movie whatever just stay occupied and fill your time with things that distract you from thinking about this. You can do it.

i am 47 and this last cold turkey took about 3and1/2. weeks. but i have been a LONG TIME abuser. after i made it through all that physical garbage, i quit smoking. now am on day 5 no smoking. i am feeling so much better. my kids actually want to go places and do things with me. you can't always wait to feel better to do something. YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING TO FEEL BETTER! i only let myself slide when i was vomiting so badly that i had to stay down. best wishes. i will pray to my HP for you. peace, sway

Forgot..peeps who have a tolerence to soma//also have a tolerence to benzos and ambien/lunesta as they r chemically similar in make up

[worried878]

Oxycontin is oxycodone//just time released from..so in fact u were taking the same narcotic//oxycodone    
Why do u keep ur stash?  Just curious?  whether u use ur stash is not a promise to us//but to u..peeps come and go so fast here that u can not keep up//most use again and never return///we wont remeber u have ur stash//but u will//it will sing to u in the night..perhaps not tonite...perhaps not tomorow nite...but those pills will call ur name and it will be an un-necessary temptation u have placed upon urself..good luck with extra baggage cos we need all the luck we can get
Sleeping is important to recovery///without sleep we can become weak///over the counter stuff like valerian root, melatonin, benadryl can help//safe RX drugs like phenergan can also help

I wish u luck///putting all the balls in ur courst really helps...u have a dagger  waiting to stab u within ur reach..letting go is hard//lots of work..flushing just one pill can be a form of taking control..most can not flush a pill..can u?

Keeping them is a form of saying "just in case I cave"  meaning u plan on possibly caving

I hope u do not

one day at a time...keep posting

Thanks  I took the ambien 2 hours ago..nothing..my wife is sleeping like a baby  we had sex for the first time in a long time.  I use to have problems getting it up..NOT tonight!  Like I was 21 again lol  Of couse only lasted 20 minutes...such a liar..20 seconds..:)  I am getting my sense of humor sick as it may be back.. I am lucky I wok at home with myown voice business..I do Radio and TV spots all over the country.
If my major account who I have had for 12 years knew they would can me.. I work 3 hours a week on Tuesday for them and make $1000 a week..Talk about easy money..I use to say I get payed by the syalable. I my wife is holding my Diaziphine because I took so much last night trying to sleep.. I guess I will be "UP" for a while.  They is 1/2 on bathroom counter but since I took the ambien I thought I would wait for a while..Yesterday morning at 5am I said to myself "how long as it been since I have seen the sunrise( and not on a cocaine binge in my 20's)  It's 1:09 am and God know how long I will be up..I sleep for 3 hours this afternoon, and thats it.I want to smoke pot but my wife freak out about that too..Whats an addict to to?  Thanks for listening to my Rambling..Hey  "Its it too late to get on the Jimmy Kimmel show and tell my story along with a few jokes?   Hurting be strong I can nevr judge you for caving I have a small stash of oxy But I will not use them  I promise..Hey so far 80 hours and 12 minutes free of oxy what do you know

Much Luck to all

I went through a brutal withdrawel too-- percocets and oxy....runs,chills,vomiting,runny nose/eyes,crying,restless leg-bigtime and lack of sleep- mine lasted 5 days bad, but am still dealing with it. Quit Dec.5th, but caved 2 days ago and took 2 perks. Bad me!!!!!!
I won't ever go back- the pain of quitting is forever in my mind- you need to think this way too.
I feel withdrawel from only 2! And used to do 10 a day-- Be strong, and it does get better.
Chicken soup, good movies for sure, tylenol flu, pepto bismol and baby wipes.
Good luck man! Your wife will love u in the end!!!

Hang in there.  I'm thinking of you and saying a little prayer for you.  Be careful not to od on the meds!  Here's a thought that might help your mental state:  a really funny movie!  One of my all-time favorites is Monty Python's Holy Grail.  This movie is a total laugh riot!  Stuff like that can really take your mind off something unpleasant or pick you up when you feel down.  Good luck and keep us posted!
