Detoxing off Oxycontine & Methedone

[kkoty]

Hello All,

I got addicted to oxycontine (initally perscribed for severe back pain) about 6 months ago and addiction escallated to about 800 mgs oxy per day. Basically I had to take 10 80's per day just to keep from getting sick. i was wasting thousands and thousands of dollars.

8 days ago I quite the oxy ct and got a script for methedone. I started off at 50 mgs per day and tapered down 5mgs every day. 1st 3 days were HELL. I could not eat, sleap or drink anything but once I became accustomed to the methedone I started drinking lots of gatorade on day 4 and managed to stay hydrated.

3 days ago I was down to 10mgs methedone per day and ran out. Instaed of buying more I just quite ct off the methedone.

So today I am 8 days off the 800 mgs per day oxy and 3 days off the 10mgs tapered methedone. My whole body hurts and its basically a living hell but not nearly as bad as the 1st 3 days off the oxycontine. I am drinking small amounts of cocunot juice and eating lots of fruit.

I have 0 energy but I get out of bed every 20 minutes and pace back and fourth a few steps. I am hoping the worst is behind me and praying every day. In an hour my gf is going to make me a soup with fish and potatoes I will see if I can keep it down. I have a few graval tablets which have helped keep the nasia down..

I pray I pray I pray. Any advice is appreiated however I will not visit dr again I dont want any scripts I just want all the toxins out of my body asap. Finally i feel well enough that I can actually sit down infrotn of computer and write for a moment. Going to lie down again. Everything hurts

Much love

Mark

congrats on your effort so far. it,s a big step in the right direction. 10 80 mg oxycontin is a big dose. I was doing approximately the same amount in one of my earlier detoxes. that was the roughest detox I ever had. you are doing well, that drug is dangerous and I vowed if I ever got free never again would I do them. I think it is more or less synthetic heroin. the problem is doctors prescribe them like candy. or did back when I was using them. anything that makes you feel like superman has to have some consequences on the back side.take it one day at the time the further you get away from day 3 day 4 you will start to feel human again. hang in there stay hydrated eat some bananas, take vitamins you will get there. peace !!!!!!!!!!out
