starting over or not with percocet withdraw?

i did not realize how many percocets that i was taking this month and ended up taking 100 in less than 30 days i realized that i would not have enough for the month a few days ago and started to spare them so i took 2 yesterday and two today and i only have 2 (10/650) and cant get anymore until my appointment on the 21st.  i had no clue that i was going through withdraw until eariler today and thought that i was just getting sick.  i want to quit taking them and need to know if by taking the ones that i did have i prolonged my withraw?

i have felt bad for a couple of days how long will i feel like this and not be albe to sleep i have not slept in over 24 hours?

Kids are smart...she might know already. Has she ever seen you take them. If so, you might want to tell her (if she is at the point in her life where you think she will understand) - it is a lesson ALL kids today should learn. just a thought....?

So glad you are feeling better but I would probably flush the Valium as well. Have you looked into Valerian Tincture for sleep or SleepMD which are both natural and non habit forming? You can get both at WalMart or any health food store. You have kicked everything else and the Valium is just another opiate you know. Your progress is amazing and you should be so proud of yourself! Sleep will return to you as more and more you get your life back! Hang in there!

Wow,

What a cool Friday night feel gooder story!!!!  Your update is great news.  Many struggle with lack of energy, the fact yours has returned is amazing.

....and a flusher too????  That was a wise move to get rid of them before they started talking to you.  

Really really happy to see you succeeding and having a plan,
Keep keeping!!!!!

Thanks so much....I am GREAT i have not had a pill since last saturday and i fell the best that I have in 10 years.....I quit almost everything....percocets GONE!!!!!!! ativan 4 times a day...GONE!!!!!!!  all sleeping pills...GONE.....talked to the doctor he did not want me to detox like that so i just lied to him and told him that i would just cut back he gave me another 100.....i filled the percsription then brought them home and flushed them ALL, he did put me on valium 10 for sleep and i told him that i would do that for 1 month and then they are done weather he wants me to or not.....i have struggled with sleep for over 15 years and have been taking meds for that long so i think that may be a little harder but so far so good only taking 1 valium at night and no more

I have the most energy that I have had in 10 years i am so happy.....my college classes start on monday and i have a new look on life....

I just want to thank everyone on here for the support and i will keep getting back on to stay in touch but I dont even want another percocet ever again in my entire life

I hope things are still working out for you.  I too had a hard time eating during detox.  I really had to force myself.  It's tough not having any energy because of detox but it's much tougher if you don't eat.

May your suffering end soon.
Let us know how it's going!!!!
