terrified of w/d but have no choice

[bigoc1655]

help im a terrified of w/d from percocets i take 20 5mg tablets a day and im out of my prescription been wanting 2 stop 4 so long now my girlfriend really supports me in stopping but im looking 4 help what 2 do when tomm comes and i dont have any in my system any ideas on what 2 do to make it an easier transistion thx guys.

[whitie]

you must have been taking them long,if you are at that level. now granted some have taken more.

sounds like you are forced into going CT.  it will suck bad, but people have been through much worse things,thats for sure. you will have to suffer WD's,especially 3-5 days. best tell everyone you have food poisoning or the flu. time off from work is suggested. or you can rough it like I and some others have many times
dont fear your enemy..............study it instead, study it hard, learn about herbs,cold medicines,ibuprophin to help.  if you seriously make up your mind about wining the battle,you can do it. but work and a proper mind set are key.

[bigoc1655]

thx man i know im probably gonna have 2 go ct but not looking forward 2 it at all yeah i been on them for years but recently herniated 3 discs in my back so the last 3 months have been out of control.

God bless

[bigoc1655]

[bigoc1655]

well hopefully i can do this cause i dont get my next script till the 14th and i dont even want it so by that time im clean if not ill have 2 talk 2 my doc on other ways of getting me off them

[jollyman069]

you CAN DO THIS...I am 145 dys clean froma 4 year love affair with percs and morphine sulfate...I was going to a pain specialist, was on 5..10/325 percs a day and 30 mg of morphine...well one thing led to the other and i was adicted...I have kidney failure so w/d was real hard on me...but man it is so good on the other side...your life is FREE of the devil...good luck God Bless if I can help feel free to pm me...brian

[bigoc1655]

thx alot i know your right and i know i can do this me and my girlfriend are commited to try and making this process as smooth as possible evn know i know it will be pure hell but thx brian

[leeisgettingclean]

man you can do it. I was at 15-20 loratab 10s a day or more if i could get. Day 3 is always bad for me, i have  been tryin now for 8 days day 3 and 6 i messed up so tomorrow is day 3 again. It is hard but it is doable, if you can get a hold to something to help you sleep even tylanol pm you are gona need it. Energy of course well be a concern but man i had to work a 12 hour shift my first day of cold turkey after 2.5 years and then turn around next day and do a 15 hour shift. Yes i have felled so prob not the best one to be talkin but tomorrow I WILL MAKE it past day 3 then it be mostly mental. Just be prepared. Get your bed confortable, get everything you need for a few days, rent movies, plan on takin lots of warm baths, and maybe(others might disagree with this, but we all disagree about ****) get you some over counter energy pills to take in the mornings. Try to do as much as you can every day, and if you make it to the 14 when you get that next script man refuse it, it might be hard but man oh man what a rush it gives you to be in controll enough to say * I dont need those anymore, thanks doc*, i just flused over 80 10s the other day and yes for a moment i was sick but all of a sudden i got a high out of that. You can do it, i will be here tomorrow to soppurt you

[bigoc1655]

thx a lot man i cant beleive the support im getting i just got on hear only a matter of hours ago and am so grateful for the support and i will be hear 4 u tomm as well man lets see how these next couple of days turn out 4 us. but ur damn right we can do it!!!!! and wil!!!!!

[road2recovery]

Congrats on trying to quit...  Everyone gave you great advice, we will all be here for you...Try to keep your mind busy, hot baths, immoduim....
Your life will be so much better, and your body healthy...I was addicted to lortabs, and quit at taking 20, 10mg a day...So i was killing my liver..I am not sure how much APAP is in 5mg, but at 20, that is toxic....Praying for you!!

Big--I found this site just three days ago and I feel better already. Stay here. We understand. REALLY understand.

Do you have any anti-axiety stuff? That will help. You need to sleep...

[bigoc1655]

no but could possibly get some not proud of that by the way. i know this place is a god send

[leeisgettingclean]

hey for anti-axiety you get get l-theanine at most healt/supplyment stores( not GNC ) and that is bout the same as a valuim, and like i said in the note you can get l-tyrosine at GMC and that stuffs works great for energy, i mean h@ll dont know about you but 90% of my usin was for the energy at first then they stopped giving me energy( i would chew 5 or 6 10s in morning and maybe feel em for 40 mins) in the end i was only using to prolong the w/ds, well man lets get them over, each day you will feel better and after about 5 days  you will look back and be so proud of yourself, i am not tryin to sound like i knoe everything cause i dont or i would have never picked these pills up, but i will never hold back the things i do know. DONT UNDERESTEMATE THE L-TYROSINE, i belieave it is even mentioned in the tomas recipe at the bottom right hand conter of this screen  right were it says *most viewed health pages* man we are babies at this, there are people that know more then we can imagine, and the wonderfull part is that they love to share, because it helps them to. Tae a look at that tomas recipe, you can get everything on there at GNC foe under40$ i would say

[leeisgettingclean]

*t-tyrosine not l-tyrosine

[bigoc1655]

thx man im so exicted to try this recipe every little bit helps especially with the mental aspect of things!!!!

[leeisgettingclean]

90 % mental!!! Just read on your profile  you say you have a girlfriend you would die FOR  her, but if you continue on this road you are gona die ON her

[122 Tactical Fighter Group]

There will be some uncomfortable moments ..... resolve yourself to that.  You can do it, you can get through them, and you will be successful quiting.  Also resolve yourself to that.  Keep posting here with questions and for support - - lot of experience and knowledge here.... use your resources!  Use the time to learn as much as you can about the enemy... knowledge is power with this stuff... Look through the archives here and read up .... put terms in the search engine and see what comes up ....  You may use this time to fully prepare for the later mental challenges..... then you will be quite ready and prepared for those also..........

[Ella789]

If you can get your hands on some good movies,  lay on the couch with a heating pad for the legs,(muscle aches) strong otc pain med (motrin 800mg) or arthritis strength .  Hot showers and or baths feel wonderful and helps for awhile.  Day 2,3,4 and by day 5 or 6 you will know that the worst of the withdrawls are over.  Immodium for diareah, also helps the stomach receptors.  Keep your mind busy,  a few tranzene if you have any,  helps steady you some.(I am not condoneing a steady use of it )  You will be okay,  keep hydrated,  try to eat when you are up to it.  Need to nurish your body.  

Hope this helps, and best wishes

Need help on what to do with facing with drawel from alcohol and vicodin.  I get very bored easily and fell that this is going to be very hard for me.

[HurtinBad]

Holy **** dude i would worry less about wd's and more about your dying livr...if your percs are 5/325 your ingesting over 6000mg. of tylenol everyday! FDA recommends no more than 4000...and thats about to go down...i take 120mg. of oxy IR 2 or three times a day and the wd's aren't fun but they're way more manageable than methadone wd's...just take immodium and robitussin and dont sit around alot cause depression will kick your ***..

[Ella789]

I know you prob. don't want to see a Dr. about this but I can tell you that some Doctors will be of great help.  Clonidine and some valium will help so much.  You need to see a Dr. and lay your cards on the table and tell him what you want to do and ask for help.  If you are an alcoholic then medical help will be a godsend.  Please, there are meds to help with the alcohol and pills.  They will make it so much easier for you.   Withdrawl, in the long run,  will be a cake-walk when you look back on it.  It is the Staying Clean that you will need help with.  Be commited, determined and by all means do not be afraid to ask for help from a Dr.
Three eagle gave you some good advice too.
If you plan to do this on your own, then read all you can on these posts, stay busy, keep your mind occupied,  take the viatamins.


Best wishes
Ella
