so mad and scared

[Krysek]

so ive been feeling fine, well , not fine, but getting through pretty well. If you have read and posted on the "my story" section, you know that i am on day three of withdrawaling off percocet.

anyway, for anyone who isn't up to date on my situation, i was taking the percocet for ongoing oral and jaw surgeries.  I hated taking the pills, they made me go to sleep.  so i wasn't addicted, but my body had defintely build up into dependancy.

Anyway, ive been doing ok, cleaning, hanging out with my son, wrapping presents for my boyfriends birthday tonight. so my mom stops by, and i was saying how bad my mouth hurt. i asked her to stay ith my son while i went to get more motrin. she said well i have tylenol if you want that. im like ok, good.

so she leaves. i take it. and this is where i sktz.
i start feeling funny, like, a high. im skitzing right now. i think my mom might have accidently given me a tylenol with codeine. i am soooooooooooooo upset. i know she didn't do it on purpose, i know she takes them for pain from her cancer, so she just carries the ty#3 with her in her regular tylenol bottle. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEEEEEEEEEe tell me that this will NOT send me back to square one. I am so mad and upset. i mean im not mad at her, its not her fault. is this going to ruin my last three days and now i have to begin all over?????????????????

I didn't know that she didn't know.  Maybe she was just trying to be helpful.  Mom's do that .........just and unfortunate situation.  Hang in there.

Glad to hear you are doing well on your third day. I hadn't heard anything from you since I left a private message yesterday, but Great Job.

You won't go back to square one, so like someone said earlier, keep your eye on the prize and you will be just fine.

This is what you said yesterday~~~~~~~~~~ i told my mom what was going on, and my dad went through a similar thing after being on pain medication for 3 months after double knee replacement surgery.  he got on the phone with me and told me to hang in there,that by day 4, he started feeling alot better. ................And you looked up all the meds that your doctor gave you. But somehow you accidentally took a Tylenal 3 ?
You need to be more careful. In any case, it wont set you back if you don't take anymore.

before my oral surgery, i have never taken a pain pill in my life. even after giving birth, i only took motrin. my mother probably does know the difference, however, she does not know the reason that i am having these symptoms, she did not know that i am in withdrawal from percocet. if someone gave me a tylenol or a tylenol with codeine, id never know the difference from looking at it. i had never even seen a percocet until my dentist placed me on it in october. the only reason i caught onto it was that i felt really weird after taking it, so i called my mom and asked her to make sure she gave me a tylenol. she told me she may have given me a tylenol with codeine, because she has cancer so she has them, and she keeps them in the same bottle as her regular tylenol in her purse. im sure that she did know she was giving me that, and didnt think she would be doing me any harm, since she didn't know im withdrawaling from an opiate.

Why would she say it's tylenol  and give you a tylenol #3.  That is bizarre.  Being a pill popper for as long as I have........I could spot the difference in the dark.
