Detoxing...Day 1

[Digityz]

Hey guys,
Came across this forum and really has been helping me through my min. to min struggle im going through. I again find myself going through this BS... I have been prescribed 40mg OC's back in 2005 for a car accident... This was the downfall of my life. Since then I have been struggling with this addiction, even kicked cold turkey... IN JAIL! Lol Then went right back...

Currently I am on day 1 of detoxing from at least 300mg of OC a day... This is what ive cut it down to at least... I have finally had enough. My friends are all dead or in jail, my family knows im an addict and does not trust me... Rightfully so. My girl left me... Thats prob a good thing ;-) (At least I still got a sense of humor :-P) I decided about a week ago I was done. I am going to document my detox.

About a month ago I was laid off from my job in IT so I fortunately... or unfortunately (to early to tell) do not have much to do right now. Good thing cuz this takes time, bad thing cuz I sit around all day. Anyways...Yesterday my last dose was at 8pm 60OC of OC IR Here is what im armed with: (5) Sub 8MG strips, (6) 2MG xanax, (8) ativan, (10) soma, multivitamins, a whole lot of pepto.

I plan to do 4 day detox using the suboxone to taper today I waited as long as I could... Which was 1:30pm... About an hour after taking the sub, I started to feel a bit better. The profuse sweating stopped and my legs calmed down a bit from the soma. Luckily I am still constipated from the OC so looks like tomorrow should be fun...

I am writing this mainly to get some support from the internet community. I know many ppl have been through my struggle and have made it out to live very successful lives. I have been very successful in my addiction so I can only imagine where I can go with the drugs! Pls feel free to share any experience strength hope or advice you got, cuz lord knows I need it! Ways to keep myself busy without exerting to much energy... U know whatever :-P Thanks for reading... Im out.

You are doing totally awesome from the history and doses that you relate...........But this ain t your first rodeo - as you volunteer. And it is time to get this done for yourself.....soooner or later everyone comes to this conclusion. But there are some unfortunates and unlucky ones that have to do it in jail........or they die. I was close to that point.....woke up after an OD and was being removed from the ventilator that had been breathing for me!!  Not a happy camper. Keep up the  warm soaks and the exercise.....maybe some ensure type drinks to replace the appetite? Keep protein and hydration very high on your list. I have as good feeling about you doing this. Lets keep that feeling warranted!!  Best of luck, dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And regardless of how MedHelp feels......the herb wont kill you!

Thanks for that man, much appreciated. What you say is so so true though. Ive tried everything but what it comes down to is your attitude. If you dont want to quit in your heart... You wont... Ever... No matter what! I spent months in jails, rehabs... But it never clicked for me until recently.

My mental state is surprisingly well... Physically I hurt. My muscles feel super crazy tight and no stretch gets to them. My stomach feels sour. My head hurts... A lot. But all and all not so bad considering other times ive tried to kick. Im about to get a message. Hopefully that will help with the tightness.

It may be time to get pro-active.......try some emetrol or pepto or whatever you like for your stomach.....frequently immodium is a blessing for loose stools. I found that I needed an antacid thrown in the mix. But everyone is a shade different biologically and sometimes what worked for one doesnt work for another and vice versa. If you have enough time, read the anino acid protocols and the Thomas recipe in the health pages......you may access the health pages at lower right hand of the screen.  And take advantage of any tips that sound good from the health pages and from other members......there is truly as wealth of knowledge here about this stuff.........

weldone man ur doing so good, i hope to be following shortly. I relapsed and now have a habit again, i hate being chained to opies, like being in an invisable self made prison of our own sick creation lol. Feel like i cant live with them and now need help in learning how to live with out them!
Good luck, keep posting will be following ur progress, and will keep journal of my own when i start detox.

You are doing great! Specialy your mental state. I would wanna kill for something now but holding off on taking my next Valium. That and a bit of codien is all I armed myself with. Besides the shakes,the sweats, nerve twitches,cramps and vomiting the headache realy bad.feels like a giant clamp around the head and just goes on and on and on.way worse than any migrain. Tell me honestly, If I have truly decided to stop is rehab gonna help or is it just a way to keep busy and my mind off the drugs? Family feels its a waste of time and I will just relapse but Im losing all and what and whom I got left I must keep. My partner very resentful - understandably -but I must try to save what I can. Also take alot of water, energy drinks to replace the electrolites and something for the liver, with added vitamins. Good luck for tonight man and day 4.
