Thank you any kind words help i was. On opana and got myself off that tapering so idk this whole thing is just making me feel less less and less like i will ever be me again.

You can do it. I was on methadone-75 mg daily, percs- 20 mg daily, xanax- 10 mg daily, and only god knows how much pot I smoked... But I got off all of it. I had to wean myself. I started with methadone. I went down like 5 mg a week till I got down to 5 mg daily then I went down by half till I got down to 1.25 mg daily and then I just stopped taking it all together. Same with the Percs and xanax. The pot I just stopped cold turkey. But it will take time. But whether you decide to go cold turkey or taper you really should talk to your doctor. I had problems with seizures. Getting off this **** is hard, but it's not impossible. Take it one day at a time, and stay hydrated. Get support from family and friends. Stay away from your contacts because trust me- they don't care about your sobriety, they only care about that paper. I really hope this helps you. Good luck and stay strong.

Thanks everyone. Day two I'm still having a hard time. I just want to sleep through til it's over but i can't. I need after care this time and for some reason i felt like getting off them was all i had to do. Trying to stay strong.i don't think i wanted this bad enough yet i just kinda ran out and then didn't have a choice...

It is Hard to detox!  It really kind of S***S!  But you can get through it!!!  Its a week out of the rest of your life and it will pass!  But then no more counting pills or the anxiety of running out!  Keep your mind busy and yes the thought of the pills may come in but just remember why you are doing this!  Keep pushing forward and it will be over in a few days.  Once you start to feel better think about what you want to do for aftercare!  That will be your salvation and then you wont need to do this for a fourth time!  Keep doing the right thing!

Hey, there. Welcome to the forum. Of course, you are obsessing about pills: you're an addict and your brain is w/o it's "medicine" and is screaming at you to get more. That is the mental part of detox. You have got to give it time. Not obsessing about pills is where aftercare comes in.

Did you cut all your sources? If you have access to pills you will just be back here again. You want to only do this once. You wrote this is your 3rd time. What are you doing differently this time?

You can't let yourself think like that. Through my detox, again I'm only on day four, but I have not once let my self think... Just one more. It I'm not ready. These are not great thoughts. I just keep thinking, I got this, I can't believe I let it get this far, failure is not an option! Now dive get wrong I crave them, but doubt think about them. I know detox is hell and you feel like your dying, but your not. This two shall pass. Time heals all, just give it time. We can do this, we got this! Keep telling yourself, you got this, your are not alone. Find something that matters two you and fight for that. Your not just fighting an addiction, your fighting for your life. You can do it.

Every moment i just keep thinking the pills will take ask of this away...

I was on 10mlg Percocet, but I stopped working so my doctor out me on 20mlg oxycodone, which is what is in Percocet just higher mlg. I was taking about 10 to 15 20mlg a day with tramadol and I added the tylenol. I'm on day four of detox. I'm still feeling the effects but I'm very proud of myself. You should be proud to. Congrats on quitting. Like many people on here told me, make sure you don't have access to pills what so ever, if you really want to quit. If you have access, no matter how much you want to quit you won't because you know you can have pills. Congrats again. You got this. We will beat this nasty habit.

[livy1513]

Thanks really anything positive to keep me going all i think about is pills and i dont want to. I just want to be happy without needing a pill.
