I think it's a great idea to go to an inpatient detox at 200 mg of oxy a day!
And you are open to after care....that's a HUGE plus for you too.
Let us know what you decide to do and we'll be rooting for you and praying for you, ok?
You know, most of the members here are smart, hard working people who got caught up in a vicious cycle. I understand. The good news is that you're going to stop and save money and get your self esteem back. Believe me, getting clean is something to be very proud of!
Are you saying you want to go to a detox facility? I wouldn't recommend a cold turkey detox at the dose you take unless you were medically supervised. Let's see what your doctor says. Hang in there.

Hi Corey- You need to know that it gets better and you won't feel like this in the future. That goes for wannabe free as well. The bad, horrible, nasty, no energy feeling goes!
Corey, I'm glad you going to share this with your doctor. You need her. She may offer a taper plan for you which is best because of your hypertension. Detox causes BP to spike. There are comfort meds she can give you,also.
I don't know what and how much you take but you'll get this done and we can help. Stay in touch!

Hi and sorry the pain and anxiety your going through. You might try to do a slow taper and ease off them. Its a little tricky but can work. It just takes time and a bit of trying. Right now your in a panic condition but what you need is a plan not panic. It will take time but its very possible to accomplish this and we can be by your side to help you.
We cant advise dosage but try to find the times you really dont need them and are taking them just out of habit and not withdrawal feelings. During this process there will come a time that you will some some little control and this little control will lead to more and eventually this will be something to look back on.
