day 3 no percocet and I don't get it

[BREAKTHECHAIN]

Hi everyone. Hope everyone is staying the course. I need everyones opinion cuz somethings not right.. Today is day 3 no opiates and I dont feel like its day 3 off opiates( if you know what I mean.) I still have myself on the sedated side witht the seroquel (low dose only 50mg's) and take a klonazepam tree times a day for the last 3 days, but other than some rough RLS last night (for which I took another klonazepam 0.5) I hardly feel like I'm in WD's I'm debating weather to let the sedation wear off and see how I truly feel, or maybe take seroquel one more night because after all this is day three, and is supposed to be very unpleasant day.(the lomotil has kept the runs away all day yesterday) this is too strange. Too sedated to feel anxious I guess. I don';t know whats wrong, this is too easy, something not right. I was taking hefty doses of oxycodone and jumped at 15mg/day (still a bit of
a high dose to jump from in my opinion, but only have 5 days to go through WD's. Something not right. Any ideas???this must be devine intervention, cuz I should be crying, swearing to God I'll never touch another pill by now. Could the seroquel really be masking the WD's so well??

corection: I;ve detoxed twice in the past 10 yrs with a medical professionals help- not 2x in 2 yrs (for what its worth)

Thanks for your comment. I know its heavy duty-I feel it. I think it's whats keeping the WD's at bay, too sedated to feel the full WD's. I've been taking 1 everynight before bed, helps me sleep and still has a tranquilizer effect in the morning when I awake (hence, no anxiety feelings) I do feel "a bit drunk", but I welcome that until the worst days of WD are over. (Today is day 3 for me, I should be making promises to God by now about never touching those perc's  again if he lets me live through this day) but I don't feel that. I think there's more to seroquel for opiate WD than the pharmaceuticals think. I don't want to get tolerant to it (I'm not schitzo or bipolar) just a percocet addict. I plan to take it only one more night tonight-low dose 50mg for the sedative effect. tonite will be my 4th dose. thanks for the info- do you see a flaw in my plan? please let me know-yiu seem to know about this drug.I appreciate your help.

After working for the State for 10 years with SMI's (Seriously Mentally Ill) and Addicts I can tell you Seroquel is a heavy duty Psychotropic...It is a major tranquilizer....50mg is enough to knock most people out...you know the dose is too much if you start slurring your words, bumping into things and passing out..Almost acting like you're extremely drunk...you may not notice as much as others will..Your body will become tolerant to that dose and the sedated affect will wear off...so just be aware.

Deb, I feel going to AA or NA meetings would help me alot, but because of what I do for a living I am SO AFRAID someone at a meeting will recognise me!! The shame and embarrassment would be more than I can stand.-may even get me using again. (my justification would be,..well now everyone knows I'm a drug addict now anyway" Don't want to open that door.I thought of going to meetings kinda far, but then i bet thats what everyone does, and there you have the same problem-I'd have ended up driving 20 miles just to see someone there who knows me.

Thanks Debbie. No this is not my first time detoxing. Been through it 2 x in past 2 yrs. (1st time I confessed to my PMD and he helped me, after the order I put in in Mexico didnt show up and I went into fullWD's) he got me the proper meds to get through it,including opiates to tapper from. I was so embarrassed yet greatful. 2nd time to my psych 7 yrs later that I was seeing for support through a nasty divorce. He was also compassionate and did the same as the first for me. I have no MD help this time but having been through it twice I did the best I could in planning in the way that a doc would have. I'm a proffessional and if this cat gets out of the bag my reputation will be ruined and I fear even losing my job. So far I can't see getting addicted to klonazepams (I actually had alot left over from the last detx that I'm using now) I like to feel up and energetic,hence my love of percocets.I just love them.-thats all I can say, but they are destroying me on the inside. The secret,the financial, the counting pils when I go on vacation and worrying someone will steal them,...I'm sure this is the same story for everyone.

Good job resisiting the devil.block that phone # . Some people actually do make it through detox with very little symptoms. By your comments it seems you have been through it before. Well coubt your blessing very well could be divine intervention. Take it as a giift and I hope and pray this is your last time detoxing. Be careful with the klonipiin don't switch addictions . You are doing great. Any aftercare set up?
Sending continued blessings
Debbie

sorry, not lomotil, I meant immodium (for the runs) Its chemical make up is close to that of an opiate, so not only does it stop the runs it helps with WD symptoms. - check with your dr. about these meds since you're pregnant. Keep up the good work with the tapper! You have 2 great reasons to stay motivated,...you and your beautiful unborn baby!

By the way, my "Dr Feel Good" texted me 2 x yesterday to set up a "meeting".-lol I actually laughed after texting back "no thanks". AAAAhhhhhhh $360.00 stayed in my pocketbook instead of finding its way to his wallet! Thank you God for the will to say "No" and even more so for the laugh after I did. This was the greatest moment yet being newly detoxing.!!!!!!!!! :) :) :) :) Hope you have/or will experience this great feeling soon!!!!! HaHa I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!

I had 7 days and the RLS got way to bad i hadnt slept for 3 days that i caved adn relapsed still trying to get to day 1 and past it i have to prepare a little better so that my body dont go through so much stress as i am pregnant and the dr said it is too hard on the baby which they have me tapering but we allknow where that goes i HAVE to figure a plan and start it for me and for this baby... I hope things continue smooth sailing for u take that blessing and run with it this is pure He#@. However sometimes the w/d being so bad are a good thing because we tend to remmebr that so we never go back blessings to u

Walgreens/Walmart...it's not cheap for what you get but it's very worth it!!  Also, if you have Tonic Water in the house, you can drink that with a little juice in it(not vodka!) and it will help. It's the ingredient quinine that does the trick!

Good luck!  Stay in touch!

[BREAKTHECHAIN]

thanks for responding so quickly. I'll try the Hylands restful Legs, where would I find that? Walmart? GNC vitamin store?

[vicki595]

Hi-  It's probably the Lomotil masking the symptoms. Instead of Klonopin,why don't you try
Hylands Restful Legs for the RLS? I think it works better...The Seroquel and Klonopin might be helping a little but I doubt it. They hit different receptors in the brain...But,hey,who really knows??  I'm glad you're comfortable!!
