roxicet addiction... *****

[pooey]

me and my boyfriend of 6 years are both addicted to roxicets and are looking for a way out. its ridiculous and embarassing for us to be at this point, because we have been recreational drug users for years and have never dealt with a personal addiction of any kind, nonetheless one of this magnitude. we have never been prescribed them, we just started taking them for fun, but i assure you the fun is gone. we are in our early 20's, smart, and trying to move forward in our lives, but due to our addiction, are broke, and constantly spending the last money we have on damned roxicets. he is a little worse off than me, and had been doing them for a year and a half now, whereas i have now been addicted to them for 7 months. i do anywhere from 1 to 3 pills in a day, and he does anywhere from 3 to 6 a day. i guess i should mention that we snort, not swallow them. i cant remember the mg of them, but he says 1 roxi is equivalent to around 6 percocets, soo.. what the hell am i supposed to do? i panic when i realize we dont have any, and ive been known to freak and start swinging on my bf until he finds me some. i am not proud of these moments. when i try and sleep without any, i get an intense case of restless leg syndrome and find myself doing the funky chicken at 5 am, thrashing about in bed, writhing in discomfort, and tears. if i have to go to work woithout any, i start having a nervous breakdown. my sister thinks im a junkie, and others probably starting to think im one too. how the hell am i supposed to cut these blasted little blue pills out of my/our life??? anyone, anyone? any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have been taking the small round "54 543" pills which are 5mg oxycodone and 325mg apap, i take about 10 at a time.. that is only 40mg of oxycodone, but about 2600mg of the aceipat.... however you spell it.. i like the feeling of the oxycodone as it makes me feel normal due to my addiction but my question is, is taking that much mg of the other stuff bad for me and if so can i die from taking this much?? please help..

My son, freshmen in college almost died of an overdose of this roxi **** and zanax and alcohol. Wound up in treatment program which Im not sure he really wanted to go to. You see in his eyes the mistake he made was taking the zanax, not everything else. The whole experience wasa wake up call for my husband and me. We were told at the hospital that it was alcolhol poisoning not substance abuse, he even had the drs fooled. I played my son and told him we would get the results of his blood and he better come clean with anymore information and he told me what I believe is the truth. He has been using roxicets for over a year and I had no idea. Good grades, went to work, was responsible untill I almost lost him. WHAT A WAKE UP CALL. Now the trust is completely gone and I don't know how to help. I brought him home from school but as he tells me its not college. I don't know besides puting him in treatment what to do. Same friends that he had since kindergaten should not be friends anymore. I don't know. Hopefully outpatient treatment which he will start acutually tonight will help. Please any informantion you can help me with would be great. I don't know it next semester school is a good idea or leaving him home. Hes and adult and i cannot monitor every move. Please help

ur not alone and neither are your actions.... i didnt read every response word for word but methadone is not the way to go... the w/d is worse from that... suboxine has saved many of my friends and family... if you want to detox and uve only been doing it for 7 months, take suboxine for a few weeks or however your doc prescribes it.. i hear its a miracle... yes im an addict, mostly a legal addict, with a horrible back and leg condition and i have been so sick of opiates for 12 years now, my wreck was 13 years ago, and i have tried about everything but herion and im not snorter... i take it to work and make the pain go away and roxi's do do that but are extremely addicting... i have went cold turkey and tried sub's to see how bad my pain was and couldnt make it much more than 3-4 days b/c of the pain, not the w/d.. talk about w/d i quit 50/mcg/hr fentanyl cold turkey after being prescribed for 3yrs + and it was my idea... well not completely cold turkey i did take vicodin and valium, but i was on a strong dosage for over 3 years and quit on my own with very little meds in place thereof, almos as if my doc was upset i had to quit it, it changed me and gave me horrible ups and downs and anxiety, cold sweats, sometimes it felt like i was in w/d ON it... anyways... but 7 months is so short, suboxine, from everything ive heard and learned about it, will be a miracle drug for you and it is $$ but as much as roxi's and in ur case i wouldnt imagine you taking it more than a few weeks, maybe a month... but im no doc... jus what ive learned and heard from others... and the most important part, you have to stay away from others that abuse it or alike... i lost my fiance over a car wreck involving drugs and i just left my g/f because she wouldnt quit speed and kept comparing it to my vicodin addiction... which is only physical, i would love to stop taking all of it... but being 40% handicap from the wreck and no silver spoon i HAVE to work.... not saying you or others dont... but i have no choice and with pain pills i can work... i wish you and others the best of luck i KNOW how hard it can be.. even the lil speedhead girl tried to compare our addictions.. pathetic.... very pathetic, how would that help her go to work... that would make me quit work.. anyways, good luck and watch 'the secret' - you can do it for real...

I'm  Jennifer, I'm 15 years old and i have been using hardcore drugs since i was 12. I've always smoked pot, then it was drinking, then it was coke, after that it was xanax, i got really bad with MDMA powder or exstacy but thank god eventually got over all that. Anyways what im getting at is I started doing blues like 2 years ago and it has gotten really bad. The town that i live in is horrble and what gets me the most is i live in florida on the beach? Everyone seems to be snortin or shooting up blues it's rediculous. I hate the withdrawls and i just want to be done, i am too young to get caught up in this. I just don't know if i should try to detox at home or go to a facility. It's even harder because im still a kid and i try an hide it from my mom so it is not like i can have her support. I let you guys know when i get through this b/c i've finally gotten to the point where the word BLUES makes me sick b/c that iis what my life revoles around and it is sickening. To anyone out there who has never done an opiate DON'T it is deffinatly not worth it. Oxycottin will suck you into a world you don't want to be in. I wish somone would have educated me about roxy's && everything else before guys started breaking me out lines....Maybe the drug sponsors should focused more on pills then they do weed. ya feel me?

i can relate so much with you! im 21 years old and i got married a year ago and all together me and my husband have been together for over 3 years now. when i met him i didnt do any drugs. I used to drink ONLY when i went out with friends and not even weed i used to smoke. He was always really bad on drugs. he was doing like an 8ball a day of coke and always always taking painkillers and drinking everyday. we stopped it all in the begging because i was totally against it. after a while i started to try a few drugs as all of his friends was doing it. a feel painkillers and all but i never tried coke in my life because of what he had gone through when i met him. about an year and a half ago he came home with this blue pills so we could do it on the weekend. he had tried it before but i had NO IDEA what that was. Our neighbor was selling it so we started to do all the time. I smoke them because i cant take it (or else i puke) and i dont snore anything. he smokes and take them and started not too long ago snoring them. we have been addicted to it for so long now and i am just so ashamed of myself for been addicted to any drugs. no one on my family does drugs, they dont even smoke cigarettes!!! i come from a great family and a good background but now i live with him in florida and my mom lives in TN and my whole family lives in a different country than me so i only have him in my life. i love him but i love myself more and i do wanna stop this pills so bad, but im starting to think it will never happend if im with him because everytime i decide to stop he goes and buy more and i wanna stop it cold turkey but he cant handle it. yesterday he bought some methadone and said we should take it for less than 30 days so we can stop blues and dont feel the pain and then stop it all! im affraid we will just get hooked on the methadone. i need help! i work full time and none of my family and close friends know about this. only his friends because most of the times we get the pills from them. i cant go to a rehab because of my job and he would NEVER go to a rehad, even tho he need it. please someone that has gone through this addiction please help me! i dont know what to do anymore. i hope we can get through all this together! id hate to leave him so i can get my life back in track but if things dont change i dont know any other way.
