Detoxing from Oxy while at work? Day 1 :(

[JVegas50]

I have a huge oxycodone habit and I hope posting here helps with me get through the detox process.  I was taking about 12 30mg Roxys per day for the past 2 years.  Unfortunately I preferred to snort them and honestly I think that I’m more addicted to that then anything.  The feeling that I got from the actual snorting sensation is very addictive.  Anyways, I’m attempting to start my detox today.  I took 1 subutex today, which helped a bit.   Starting tomorrow, I will not be taking anything.   The other unfortunate part – I cannot miss work.  So, I have Imodium and 800mg IB. I figure if I can make it to Friday then I have the weekend, by Monday the 7th, I will be decent.   I’m a 33yo male.  Does anyone have anything they can add as far as getting through the withdrawals while working?  I’m really worried about the energy part of it.  I appreciate any feedback.  Thank you.

Hi there,
congrats on your decision....and I wish you much success and little pain on your journey but I have to be honest ......the work thing is going to be unbelievably hard.  My husband went through exactly what you are doing but he was taking oxy's, is that different I don't know, (not my DOC)....
anyway he's the kinda guy who just "shakes" everything off EVERYTHING
but he was off for at least a week.

But I have heard of some here who have done what you are attempting and
I couldn't be more in awe of them.
Everything mentioned above is key though, so helps.
prayers and much hope
you can do this.

Check out the Thomas Recipe on google. It helps a ton! Make sure you eat and drink plenty of fluids! Force yourself to eat even if its just crackers! The first 3-5 days will be the worst as far as flu like symptoms! Working in a call center is going to be really hard as your emotions will be all over the place! I will be praying for you and if you need any thing stay on this site these people helped me so much and we have all been through it!
Good luck

Adderall may cause lots of anxiety. There is something people use called L-Tryosine (sp) for energy. It made me jittery though.

I ct'd almost that much. At a call center, with plenty of immodium and determination, you could work through this. It won't be easy, but I assume you sit?

Take a heating pad with you. Ginger Root for nasuea, lots of water, Ensure or protein shakes, crackers, soups.

Valerian Root helped my anxiety.

Several people here worked through detox. Won't lie, it will be rough. But time may actually be better spent at work than home clock watching.
Keep posting!

yea i would forgo the Adderall....it's just another mood altering thing you don't want to get mixed up with....we have people here that were taking them and maybe they will be along soon.  I can't say about the subs, never went that route either...but if you want to be done then stay away if you can....if you can't taper your dose, then you can't.....have you thought about getting your doctor on board to help you with it?  Coming off that high of a dose CT is gonna be tough, not trying to scare you but just want you to be aware.

I work at a call center. Its hard because we lost a lot of our staff and now we only have 6 people. Im also the best employee.  Its going to be hard, I could maybe miss friday.  Yes, I went from 12 a day to 1 subutex.  I could get subs, but I just want to be done.  Ive tried to taper.. it just doesnt work for me.  Thank you for the support!   What do you think about taking Adderoll for energy?  Ive only taken it a few times, but it gave me a lot of energy and I wouldnt be worrried about getting addicted to that,  Thanks again for the support.

and that's a pretty high dose to CT off of,  are you sure you can't take off work this week?  you will feel pretty crappy for the first few days.
