please help..percocet predicament

[readynow81]

I am so disgusted and mentally over taking percocet. But physically it isn't that easy. Have been taking about 12-14 5/325's for about 10 months. Lesser amounts before that. Have legitimate spine issues but would rather feel that pain than feel like garbage after taking all these pills. It may not be as much as others but its more than enough for me. no easy answer, i know. but ive had enough. suggest telling pcp?

Yeah... you did all the work without any pills, jessie... of course you should feel proud :)

way to go ... :)

As for the issue about flushing the meds... this is something we have talked about before.... We are addicts, we need flushing those pills asap... we can take antibiotics, etc to the pharmacy and use better ways of getting rid of those pills... but our DOC ? It is simply no safe for us waiting any longer than flushing asap...as i said, we are addicts and it is a matter our lives that involved in this issue.

I absolutely understand I didn't mean to patronize you. It was just meant to inform those who see this and might end up in a similar situation and can discard of there pills another way. Yea I saw it on tv they did a study and it showed all the different medicines they found traces of. Heres a few articles if your interested. It's pretty crazy to think about really but for some reason the particles are not able to be filtered out. If I remember correctly anti-depressants were the most common drug found in water supply's. But it really is kinda scary to think.

To Lucky: I guess when it comes down to it, I didn't think of the water supply. That doesn't mean that it doesn't matter, I'm just saying. When you get that gut feeling like its NOW or never, and its quite a dramatic end to the little pills lives, and its something you've seen before , be it on a movie or in real life. And he!!, before you think twice, or maybe the pharmacy isn't open right now.... but I get your point. There are other ways, I just so happen to have flushed mine, and am so glad for it... but you are right. Our children drink this water.
