Hello,
I am posting this in both forums; substance abuse and social because I need as much help as I can get...
My BF stated tonight that he's ready to quit cold turkey starting tomorrow. I'm so happy for him and proud of him!!
He's been on perc's for about 2-2.5yrs and oxy's the last year (maybe half). In total, lately, he's been taking about 100-250mg per day, depending on how he feels and what he can get. We've noticed that when he gets enough for more than a few days, he goes through them quicker because he gets depressed (and hates himself for being addicted to the pills, he says, in tun making him take more and it cycles). Without them, though, he gets extremely irritable and it's unpleasant.
To anyone that has quit cold turkey, I would like to know what to expect and what I can do to support him??
Please help if you can. I REALLY NEED ADVICE!!!
