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.

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.........

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.

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

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Day 3 for me as well... All last night and this morning I have felt like complete and total a**. I finally fell asleep, woke up this morning in a pool of sweat and could bearly move... I made my way to the bathroom, drew a bath and put on some relaxing tunes, and popped a 1/4 strip of suboxone (trying to keep the box as light as possible due to the withdrawl it incurs.) and hung there for about an hour and I dont feel too to terrible right now. I got to say the most major part of helping for me is smoking some herb... Good quality herb. I dont know if its mental or what but I take a puff and forget about being sick or something.

Anyways my friend who is helping is coming over to make me go on a walk and get some exercise, also super important! Still super hard to eat though, got the weirdest feeling like im so hungry but have no interest in eating... Been living off toast and waffles.... Whatever works I guess.
