withdrawl

Hi I am new to this forum and will be going through WD I am wanting my life back and am being forced to quit taking these pills percs . I am scarred to detox but at the same time i am also just wanting to get this done. How long will I need to stay home from work. I am a server and work with the public how many days should I take would 3 be enough to get over the part where I am not brutally sick. I have been using for 4 years I take between 75 mg and 100 mg a day. Any advice would be welcome and thank you in advance

Honey, You are an addict. You didn't ask for this, but you can turn it around. Not sure of your kids ages, but there is plenty of time to be a mom. A clean mom. Your going to be ok. Your emotions are running high and will be. Stay positive.

Hi- Read the "Important announcement" at the top of this page.

Basically, providing dosing information on any drug is the job of a medical professional. No one here can know a person's individual medical history so any dosing advice could be dangerous.

So, that's the position of MH on tapering advice!

hi there, welcome to the family!!! you can do this!! i, myself, tapered down, which helped a lot. i have heard around here that i cannot give advice as far as tapering goes, and i dont want to cause any harm, only help, but i tapered down from about as many percs as your were doing, i went down to a LORTAB 7.5  A DAY!!!! ( with a few days doing more than that, im not going to lie).... trust me, it has been SO worth the slight misery. i feel better each day. it sounds like you know what you need to do, you just need help doing so. i totally respect you and admire your courage. i served forever too, and i WD so much of the time. it was justdisgusting to put myself through that. have you thought about possibly "toning" it down before you just stop?
love, S

You'll find when the w/d's are thru, how much a haze you were in all that time spent trying to find them, pay for them. Actually, where your priorities were. It's not the pill itself, it didn't make me take it, it's the power I alone gave it, and the power thru GODS great mercy I had to take back.. Trust me, this is a great life, knowing I don't have to sneak, lie and steal just for a pill.. Choose to live, when you get discouraged think better days are ahead, temptation comes think, I don't it, I've made it this far without it, and look where that got me before. I think you'll do great!! GOD Bless, you!
