You need to educate yourself most rikki tikki about the monster that you are teasing. You are risking a few things tossing the sub into the mix willy nilly. And 30 perks Friday and Saturday blew way past "social" a bunch of pills ago.

Read the health pages, read members journals (you may search them through medhelp) and read current posts and comments. You will need to make this a serious attempt if you expect it to work. Best of luck to you.

When I started using 8 years ago I didn't know how addicting this stuff was. I used to get high when I was younger but that was different....that was not opiates. I was using like you....pretty regularly and really thought I had the flu the first time. You will be sick. but not as sick as you will be if you keep taking them. Addiction is progressive. The amount you use gets greater and you get more dope sick every time you detox. The more you use, the stronger the hold that the addiction has on you gets and you basicly lose control over your life. The good news is the sooner you stop the easier your recovery will be. You will probably get a very strong urge to use again soon....fight it.Post on here and let us help you through it. Don't wait and let years pass to get a grip on this. Read some posts and you will see we all have ruined much of our lives and those of loved ones. We have struggled hard to get where we are. God bless. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Corey

I don't know about the "social" use,  I became addicted through prescriptions from my Rheumatologist.  Any way, addiction is still being addicted and I'm pretty sure you are in withdrawls so tough through it all and if you do use Socially again, then you will be right back where you are now.... please don't use anymore after this.  You are young and there will be old age for using drugs only you will really need them then!  I used Lortab for abt 5 yrs and the longer I took them the more it took to take care of me!! I'm sorry but it's the truth, some dr.s you can't tell them that, they think, oh 6 a day should be enough but the brain doesn't see it that way after awhile!  I hope the best for you, you will be okay!!!!

Yup, you are way past anything social about your use. Denial.  Keep doing what you are doing now., reaching out!  There is no way to fiqure out how to use opiates safely for us.  The only way that works is none,  zero, zip.  Pay now or  pay later.  Alot  of w/d is in our brains, wired from previous w/d. Take baths, keep talking to us, until the cravings pass.  Put the compulsion to use into this web site, and time will go by and you will get better. Promise.

doesn't sound like its social anymore, Its sounds like its turning into a full time job. Sounds like WD to me and the bad stuff can go for 4-7 days then it gets a little better each day after. You are playing with fire and its time to stop unless you want this endless cycle to take over your life. You should not mix SUB with OXY thats a good way to end up in the hospital (the sub makes the oxy not work as good when its in your system). If I were you I would check out the section on the top right health notes on detoxing (thomas recipe) and get some amino's also hot baths. Tough it out for a few more days you will be ok. Just so you know if you go back to the oxy you will start all over again when you stop. PS you can get addicted to the SUB as well. You posted thats step one you can do this just keep posting and tell us how you feel and someone will talk you through it.

good luck and if you need anything just send me a message
