Withdrawal Periods
Hey everyone - just a quick question -
I have been taking oxycontin 80mg 6-8 a day for 5 months. I recently went through withdrawl when i stopped for 5 days - I took again for 3 days, and stopped again for 5 days. Now since friday i have been taking them again, albeit only 2 per day - if i continue to take them until saturday and then stop (so i would have been taking them for 7 days) will I experience withdrawl again? Or did I already get the 5 months worth of **** out of my system during the first five day withdrawl? Sorry about the question, it sounds like one of those "if a train leaves station A at 11:30" questions. Take care and I hope all of you are well. Thanks, Mark.

With each passing moment I get madder & madder I had 9yrs clean time as everyone knows its not always easy.I worked hard a lot of meetings cring etc .....But I dam proud of my time even when my life was at the lowest point, My olde3st daughter passed away. I didn't go out and start using again.
I have a real pain issue and as most of you know I got ultram "THE NON ADDICTIVE" drug for pain.
The kick is HELL!!!!! and i didn't even get a buzz(that really sucks :) I am interested in the class action suit against the co. does anyone have any info about it?? Thanks 'Thank God for this forum".

Yes -- I KNOW about Ultram... About 30-50 pills a day for me until I quit.
So, you say you get them on the Net for real cheap? Probably the same site I did for $150.00 for a Bottle of 100. Right? It sounds cheap, but when you're doing as much as you or I, it isn't. My advise is going COLD TURKEY. just quit, and you willl feel AWFUL the first 3 days, but after 7-10 days pass, You will be completely normal again. BUT< if you go "Clean" for 2-3 days, then just take a few, you will have to go through the withdrawels AGAIN, and this time they are WORSE!
I really wish you luck, and my thoughts are with you...

H - I'm new to the forum and so relieved I found you - here's my story.....right now I'm taking of all things Ultram for my recreation. Unfortunately, I found this on the net and found the cheapest site available. I'm up sto 20 pills a day but supposedly, Ultram is NOT an addictive drug....wrong. I tried a couple of weeks ago since I had run out of pills and money - I had terrible sweats, cough and overall just felt crummy. So, back to the net to order using credit card that was already maxed out. I've been doing this since March and it's time to stop.
Help! Is anyone else out there familar with this drug? I've written down the recipe, have about 100 pills left and am ready to stop.

Mopar - first, I'm sorry if you didn't get other responses, and hope you're still around. Most people check the posts at the top of the page, and this one was far down, but I happened to be reading.
You've discovered the demon of recovery, and that is relapse. It hits the best of us. The thing to do now is keep in mind how good you felt OFF the drugs and learn to say no next time, even if you have to trick yourself. Tell yourself "I won't take it today, but if I really need it tomorrow will rethink it then." Let that turn into another day, then another, until you can resist fully. One won't be enough.
The other thing, and this is what I did, is tell your doctors about your addiction. Do this when you're feeling strong. Remove temptation.
I hope you're feeling better. I would email you, but you didn't include your address. Hang in there and post again.

Marsmom - I'm sorry I didn't read this sooner. I hope your son is doing well, and that you've found some peace! Addiction takes a toll on the whole family. I'm ashamed to say it did with me. This is typical. Please let us know how things are going. You can post to one of the most recent topics at the top of the page. Hang in there, things will get better. Update us please.

Well hello all. I know that I am going to sound like the same thing you have been reading here. However, you guys are about my last hope.
I have been taking Hydrocodone 10/660's for 4 years. I take 7 pills in a 24 hour period (Where I sleep about 12). Obviously this had become a serious problem. I have either tried to or been forced to quit due to outage, and NEVER made it past 3 hours without them until about 3 months ago. I ran out, and I tried everyplace I knew to get them to no avail.. Finally, after countless hours spent in ER's across 5 towns... I gave up. I quit cold turkey. It was absolute HELL for about a week and a half... then, after that the symptoms only seems to subside enough to be able not to cry in pain. Then, I fell into a BAD depression. I did not want to kill myself, but prayed that I would die, which is NOT me. I remember the life I had before this. I was the bubbly life of the party. I have robbed myself of my own life. Well, anyway, FINALLY, one day I woke up and I sat straight up in bed to get up. I was smiling and I SWEAR I had a buzz...lol Like it used to give me. I felt good, I had beaten IT!! My house was being cleaned spotless everyday again, my sleeppattern was normal, and I was singing again. Ah, and memories were flooding back ( I totally had blocked most of 4 years OUT.) We moved back to the town I loved, my marriage became wonderful again ( Shh, don;t you tell him I admitted it was my bad!! lol.) Then, one day I told my friend that I had a headache (sinus), she said: hey I got some pain medicine stuff here If you need some..." My ears perked up like a doberman on a bone...I said oh YES!! I will be right over. Well I'll be damned if that bottle of liquid hydrocodone didn't turn into 4 more prescriptions...It started the whole damn thing again. I began to feel sick as I did while on the meds. Don't get me wrong. I felt GOOD on them, but always had a cold, or my chest hurt (it slows down your respiration, bowels, blah blah.)So, here I am again, OUT of the thing that makes me me... I can't be me without it. I don't want it any freaking MORE!!!!! But, I feel even while writing this post that I am craving so bad I would give anything to have 1 danged hydrocodone. Just 1. But as you all know, 1 is NEVER enough..... How can I beat this thing and take back my life? How can I finally be able to say NO to a Dr. or a friend who offers me pain meds? I am absolutely addicted. I truthfully do not know if I can make it through what I made it through last time. I spent 3 nights on the phone with drug councelors- crying, pleading with them to help me.sleeping in the hot bath tub because that is the ONLY time I did not hurt, and I mean hurt BAD. Please forgive the language here I use and the probable fragments, and interrupted thought patterns, but I can barely think at all. My mind is going nuts just trying to cope. That damn stuff steals your life and replaces you with a desgusting, pethetic, lying junkie! I don't want this for my life anymore. Someone please help me to help me.... Love, Shaianne
