Heres a little back ground info... im from seattle and thats where i get my oxy from but im vacationing in michigan ... so i only took ten pills (20's) with me and thought id be okay with only 20mg a day but i waas wrong and soon ran out... so im stuck here and i want to go home sooo badly... i do want to quit but not in this type of pain... on the 7th day if im still in pain ill take oxy again or i might just keep toughing it out... but that all depends because school starts on the 23 and i cant go to school like this.. my whole life is based on oxy and i like it that way... even though i dont get high really anymore it still has changed my outlook and personality for the better... well anyway does any one have any ideas on how to at least gain some energy.. i need some... this totally sucks.. heeelppp mee :( :( :(.. btw if your in michigan and you can help me out with some oxy or any type of opiate then please write back with ur email adress ,,, im in east lansing then on tuseday im in grandrapids..

Harley, you can do it. I am on day 3 and I know the stuff that goes on in your head, everything.
Keep yourself positive. You have already gone threw two the hardest parts. Admitting you have a problem. And reaching out for help through this horrible mentally/physically draining time.
On my second day I woke up I felt better than anytime I was on meds.
You just have to post and let us know where you are at. We are here to help.

congratulations on day 1...it IS a big step you have taken...a big step towards something much better.
I am on day 8 of cold turkey. The first 4 days were really the worst, after day 4 the physical syptoms began to taper away and lessen...by today they are virtually gone. It is different for everyone...but the 4 day thing seems to be a fairly common timeframe for things to start improving.
Are you taking vitamins? There are a lot of supplements that seem to help a lot. I don't really know too much about them, but if you read the threads, you will find a wealth of info on it.
Or just post and ask....you have found a wonderful group of people who share your pain and will help...keep posting, there lots of us here...we may all be different, have different w/ds, different experiences...but we are all the same in our addiction...folks here understand and will help.
Anyone out there who can give some supps advice...I don't know enough.
Hang in there...you can do this. It WILL be hard, especially in the first few days, less hard (but not easy) after that, but you can do it...and you bare worth it. Do it for you.

yes, i do. The meds cost us alot of money. When you run out you have to find them and pay street price. so then it takes from your kids. today is payday it will be hard not to look for them today. Did you go cold turkey? i did it like that before. I made it 2 weeks then got my meds. i took just one and couldnt stop. this is day one for me. I have to do it for me to get healthy.
PLEASE read WW's post...she is spot on. W/D is not always easy...most of the time not, most of the time horrible...
You may not be ready, if so, your life, your choice. I'll be worrying about you Hilliard....

There is a major difference between lysine and tyrosine. Tyrosine is the amino acid that goes to work creating the raw materials for the neurotransmitters that opiate abuse depletes.
Lysine is also an amino acid, but I've never heard of it helping with neurotransmitters, though I could be wrong. People take lysine to stop herpes cold sores, and it does work great for that.
I think the reason you started feeling better was the fact that you were on 7 days without the oxy. I don't think it was the lysine.
L-Tyrosine does help a bit, and when you are ready to stop, I'd definately recommend it.
I'm nervous for you. You clearly say you are not ready to stop using, and that's ok. I wasn't for a long time either.
But please don't let the addiction fool you into believing that withdrawal is easy, or that it is not going to destroy your life.
We are all in the same boat, just different stages of it.
I just know that life got much better once it no longer revolved around drugs.
love,
WW
