Withdrawal Periods

[jonesing247]

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.

It's gratifying to read that my recipe is still being recommended and used. I developed it with a lot of input from other people and refined it during hundreds of WD attemps from Hydrocodone over a period of 20+ years. The recipe will simply help you to 1) put time between you and your last hit, and 2) help restore the neurotransmitters that long-time narc use has depleted from your brain. #1 is critical to making even a half-assed attempt to quit, while #2 will help you overcome the daunting malaise, lack of coordination and utter lack of energy that accompanies WD from opiates.

One point I'd like to make about the original recipe: the 4,000 mg of L-Tyrosine (the crucial incrediant for restoring the dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin levels in your brain) is rather high. It's the amount I used (all at once, not several times a day as some said -- L-Tyrosine with B6 must be taken on an empty stomach to be effective). However, after additional experience of my own combined with feedback from others, I recommend that the only drugs you use during the 1st 3 or 4 days of WD are a long-acting benzo like Valium or Klonopin, ALL the Immodium it takes to stop the deydrating and weakening diareah, and, though not a drug, all the hot jacuzzis or hot baths you can stand. I say this because side effects of the L-Tyrosine include the runs and jittery nerves  -- two things you don't want during the initial stages of WD. The theme for the first few days is simply putting 3 or fours days between you and your last dose of narcs. It's during this initial period that you will feel the most temptation to just end your suffering and score. So, use as much Valium as it takes to just tranq yourself out til you can get some distance between you and that last hit. THEN, when you start feeling semi-human again, try 1000 to 1500 mg of L-Tyrosine with B6 and a big multi-vitamin containing every other mineral under the sun -- especially zinc and magnesium (you need those, too, to make the L-Tyro effective). If you can tolerate higher doses of L-Tyro, try it on a gradual scale. But the key things for those first few days are Valium, Immodium, hot soaks and lots of private time during which you don't have to function, explain yourself or service someone else's agenda. These days are for you. Screw the world. After that, use the recipe coupled with gradually intensified aerobic activity such as fast-walks, jogs, swimming (I recommend this one over all others). Good luck to all here. THOMAS
