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

Oh yes, fish with it's Omega fatty acids is vital in brain function and healing. I take fish oil caps everyday for bipolar, it helps for sure. Those lipids make up the majority of our brain, other than water. I couldn't eat or sleep so soon, you are doing great. Keep adding the good stuff and let the bad stuff get further in the past. Way to go bud!

Day 9 here.
9 days clean off oxy and 4 days clean off methedone.
Slept some last night, major pain most of the night but feel 10 times better right now. Pain in legs is almost gone and I have some energy. Can actually sit at my desk with little pain I feel great. Gonna go to exito and get all vitaimins and amino acids sugggested. I think that fish soup with carrots, potatoes,platanoes and rice I managed to keep down yesterday helped ALOT. Also I was able to get some sleep. I can my body recovery quickily.

much love!

I am a recovered cocain addict (free base) and have been going to n/a meetings for years. Going to go back to step 1 and work the steps again. No way do I ever want to get caught in this trap again.

cheers!

Thank you VICourageous

I feel much stronger now then I did this morning. I soaked in very hot water as hot as I could take it and that really helped calm my legs and muscle spasms.

I don't have the strength to drive to supermarket today but will get there tomorrow am and buy everything suggested here.

Today I have been sipping on agua de pipa (coconut juice which is full of electrolyites and eating soup my gf made for me of fresh fish, carrots, potatoes and platanos.

I am starting to feel much better and even forget about the pain for a while as CR beat Greece what a game!!!!

viva Costa Rica!!!!!

Much love everyone!

Hi & Welcome. I too was using the oxys/hydo that lead me up the latter to a 12 yr ride on them Dones. However, I got in a bit more trouble adding a couple of other meds to the mix. Went c/t back in 2012.. I will say that there are many factors here on your side..One is that you are not up there in age and have not been using most of your Life.
My Bud Weaver gave you some good tips on what to pick up..I would like to say I get all my Amino-Acids in on pill..They are all the L-s..A-V. Plus there are a few that I can take alone for energy..You will find what vit/min help you relax and some will help with energy..Still, all of this takes time to kick in, as it will take time for these Toxins to leave your body. It is the Brain that has to adjust back from the removal of these Stims. It took me over a Year to start to balance from my drug use for most of my Life..Also I am no spring chic. SO, Just go with the flow as you will experience Stages as you heal..Just trust the process and surrender. Make sure you do take the Magnesium, Potassium, Calcium and Ds at night..These really help relax the muscles too. Also I do remember drinking some Tonic water and also would put the Bragg's Apple Vinegar in my water..this will help rid those toxins. Pick up the Protein Powder and make a shake adding Berries. Berries is a great antioxidant. There are many Tips on here, but I would like to say that the Detox is the Easy Part..It is working on staying clean, is when the work really begins. I do wish you the best and glad that you got out sooner then later. Also try getting under a Heating Blanket for the Bone pain or other aches and pains..It works great!!
Bless

Thank you weaver71 and Saspan so much for your words of encourangement and advice. I soacked in hot water for the last 20 minutes and that has really calmed down my legs and the muscle spasms.

I am actually  enjoying watching the world cup which is a huge improvement from the 1st 3 days off the oxy's I was so miserable and suffering I could not even watch the tv.

Going to exito in a bit to pick up suggested vitamens, epsom salts and EmergenC. Most importatnly I have kept the nasia at bay and my body is accepting liquids well so I am fully hydrated. Getting severely dehytradted being my biggest fear but its not going to happen this agua de pipa is so full of electrolyites.

Cant believe Holland took out mexico in last 5 minutes going to watch Costa Rica vs Greece.

I will continue to report on my progress. Agreed 100% is is synthetic herion and my dose was very high howevver I was only addicted 6 months and it is 1st time I every used opiates.

I feel like the worst is behind me. Will let you guys know

And god bless you for answering me and your wonderfull advice.
