I don't know how much withdrawal there is with coke, but i will tell you it's nothing like getting off opiates .......definitely try to taper as much as you can, and prepare to not feel to good for a while.  You know this has to stop.  Can't go on like this forever. It will only get worse, so now is a good time because your here. Keep posting, yell, scream, b!tch and moan.....we all understand and are here for you.

God bless,
nauty.................

Well, if you have withdrawn off of Cocaine, then you know the devil inside the process.

I definitely agree that tapering is a better way to go.  Otherwise, you will feel so horrible that you will break........at least I would.

There is alot of good advice on here about ways to alleviate the pain and discomfort.

I've been there and it really stinks, but you can do it.

God Bless.

If you are going with the taper and have the pills to do it, Drop your dose every 3 days. That will give your body a chance to adjust to the new mgs...

   Good Luck, Stay Strong, and Keep Posting...

Of course you can........It will suck a$$, but it can be done.  If you can taper a bit that will always help some.  Easy for me to say, but it won't be easy.  I know.  Not gonna blow smoke up your butt.  Its a miserable process, but you will have to face it at some point.

I wish you the best.

on average most people are done with the worst of it by day 5 or day 6.  With days 2,3,4 being the worst physical feeling.  You just have to make a plan and then stick to it.. You really can do this

YES YOU CAN...  But it is not easy.. A professional told me that the chances of dying from withdrawl from oxycontin(that too was my drug of choice) are less than getting hit by lightning.  But it will be very very uncomfortable and it is DOABLE!

YOU CAN DO IT..

GET YOURSELF PREPARED AND THEN JUST DO IT!

WE ARE HERE FOR YOU
