CAN YOU DO MULTIPLE DETOXES??

I want off ALL RX scripts - can't take my away supplements though.. What is the GENTLEST/QUICKEST WAY to detox? I've only read about detoxing one med at a time - let's see - need detox for Schedule II's,(afraid of the drug Co. so I'm not going to name it), then Xanax and Prozac - my Big 3... I'll only do it if I have a great doc waiting to see me through all this - and support.  I'm a bloody hermit.....I'm not living another 50 years like this - Most of my problems are from inside inflammation as I went on 6 day step down Methylprednisonlone-and I felt AWESOME and all the hives/rashes on neck and inflammation were gone as well as swollen ankles, feet, calves and knees-I did go bonkers on day 4 and had to stop-too may side effects-but for 2 days I was my OLD SELF!

Anyway, I take my load of Schedule II's at 6 AM and 6 PM w/ Xanax Q4H, and w/20 mgs.Prozac .

Not healthy-have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, Addisons/Adrenal Insufficiency, Fibromylangia, Depression & CHRONIC PAIN, but I am so weak, at this stage pretty darn apathetic to my whole situation as I'm a control freak and can't do anything I want.  I stay in bed or lounge on couch because it's more comfortable as I can't even bend over w/o excrutiating pain-but no operations-have so much wrong that they lumped it into Radiculopathy-Spinal Degeneration and Chronic Pain Syndrome....I make sure I get up and walk around every day. I take B complex and it puts me to sleep - I'm under so much stress. So I'm hoping and praying that the great people who have gone through this, will heed my call and give me advice - any advice - and I'll be so very thankful. I've closed myself off from everyone, now it's time to "Step Out" and I really hope you'll help me LIVE the other 1/2 of my life by your insights. Love to All!

And if you don't know what my "dis-eases" are - that's cool - just let me know what you think about the Detox Centers out there that would fit the bill of "I just don't want these meds anymore"!  I'll go natural or 1/2 and 1/2 - depends on what happens after I get all this crud out of my system.....Peace

I basically have no idea what you're asking. You mention Schedule II's? Heck, that could be anything from Cocaine to Demerol. The detoxes are very different from these meds. If you want a home detox, you'll have to tell us what you're taking exactly and how much each day. Dosages are important. If you want a detox center, just start calling around..you'll get referrals. I will say this though, the isolation is classic addictive behavior. You not only need a detox, you need a long term rehab. And, detoxing off of all of those medications at once is going to be horrible at best. You'd be better off takng them on one at a time.

ga guy probably knows more about it, than %90 of the docs out there. most docs dont even have a clue about the pills they prescribe or have any suggestions for fighting WD's. often the first thing they do is put people on OTHER addicting pills.


hes just trying to help you, got to have the info he asked about,inorder to come up with a game plan.


sorry to hear about all your problems.........and it sure sounds like you got quite a few addictions all going on at once. but to answer your question about doing them all at once. yes, many have had to or was forced to by authorities,whom could care less how you feel !
