Addicted to tramadol/oxy. First time

I have been taking about 8 tramadol and a few oxy the last year and tomorrow is my first day with nothing. I'm ready to beat this. I have all the Thomas recipe suggestions minus the benzos. Any suggestions? I'm real nervous. Terrified actually.

I have to be honest I relapsed the last couple days so tomorrow is back to day 1. I WILL be going to NA when I start feeling better. I hope I'm not judged.

Do you have any vit/min around like Magnesium or Ds. These will help calm you down a bit, but just a bit right now. Anxiety/Anxious was the worst for me and it did go one for awhile..However, I came off of 3 meds at once and was on them for many, many yrs at a high dose and I was in my late 50s.

Maybe go for a small walk or turn on the music and dance a bit. You can even take another bath. Anything to get out of your head right now. Your brain chems are balancing back and drugs/detoxing highly affects the nervous system too! Any calm down Teas around?? I sure do feel for YOU as I hated that the most out of it all. Just hang in as this will pass in time. Just try to either find something that could help calm you down or go and wear yourself out by some kind of exercising. Just know it will NOT last forever. Just one more stage to get through to the other side. Hang in!

Hi Polly..
How are YOU today?
You are one, of many lucky ones, as you did not use for yrs & yrs and you are young and healthy. That is a big plus on your side. One thing with the Trams is that they have a Chem in them that hits the Serotonin transmitter in the brain. SO this would be like detoxing off 2 pills instead of 1 and you did the oxys too. Keep your self re-directed as best you can and drink tons of fluids. Eat healthy and take some good vit/min. Proteins/Amino-acids will be good for those brain chems. Pray you are feeling much better and give yourself a pat on the back that you caught this sooner then way later.  Cheering for you all the way!
Bless
