Help!!!

I was thinking, I take my opana everywhere I go so today I left the ******* at home! I wondered if I started taking the recommended dose "1 every 4 hrs as needed" would that be considered tapering?

Please pay attention to that "feeling" as it is telling you something.  Our bodies cant keep on being abused.  Your internal organs are taking a real beating.  Too bad we cant see them.

You have to want this more than anything and it will require total honesty.  What type of relationship do you have with your doctor?  He/she needs to be told you are addicted and need help getting off these meds.  Does your husband know about this?  Aftercare is vital also.  You have the willpower but you have used this as an excuse.  You deserve to finally live, not just exist.

Omg I know!!!! I've even been "feeling" that lurking around me. I wish I knew the why to me not stopping. I have no will power. Never have. Just one day off when all the wds start I about lose my mind! I take blood & can't miss work bc of wds. I need my job. I basically need a plan of action. Can you offer any how tos to end this with out doing it cold turkey.

There is nothing glamorous about this addiction.  If you continue down this path death awaits.  Noone is exempt from this.  What is holding you back from stopping this insanity?

Yes. I take 10mg opana along with 15mg er opana. Then I also trick the mom in law to giving me her 30mg morphs between my pills.

Cutting your sources is a must here.  Are you getting them from your doctor?

I am still addicted. The only time I stop is when I'm out. I've just recently realized I do indeed have a problem. I guess I just think of things, then post my thoughts w/out thinking about my other posts....sorry.  I just stumbled upon this site (coincidence?) By typing in opana. Reading these amazing stories inspires me then the next day I'm back at it!

What other questions do you have?

Thanks. I'm new to this so I'll stop multiple posting, I just have questions.

I answered this on your other thread ( please try to stick to one thread ) and although it's proper to take your meds as ordered every four hours, it's not a taper. You take way too much everyday.

We're not allowed to offer taper plans or any specific advice but the best way to taper is to drop small amounts over a long period of time.  Check with your doctor for exact amounts and length of time.

It depends how much you are normally taking a day!  If 1 every 4 hours is less than what you are taking then yes, it would be considered tapering!  Do you want to stop using now?  Its as good a time as any!!!!
