I'm sorry to continue bothering you all, need an answer PLEASE!
Hello everyone, good morning(not for me though). I'm sure many of you have seen some of my posts. In case you haven't, I am trying to detox from Percocet. I started Sunday evening. I was normally on anywhere from 6-8 10mg pills a day. I was doing well, then I slipped up on what should have been day 3 for me and took 1 10mg pill at 5am yesterday. Today, which should have technically been day 4 for me, I'm in horrible physical shape. W/d are really bad, threw up twice this morning trying to take my vitamins, diarrhea, my body is aching, shaky, sweaty, etc, it goes on. My question is, is this normal 4 day symptoms or did I entirely screw myself up yesterday by that one pill? I pray that isn't the case and I know I'm the only one to blame. But I'm so sick and just hoping this is normal day 4 symptoms as opposed to starting from the beginning. Please, this is so tiring already, I know I'm expecting miracles but I didn't even have the strength to get my children ready for school this morning. Advice or opinions PLEASE!
Yes, today would technically be day 6, and I knew the fight would eventually happen and I'm surprised it took so long to happen. But we finally calmed down and spoke and came up with a plan we were both ok with. I pushed hard enough for them to move my.neurologist appt to next week so hopefully I'll get the ball rolling on getting relief. Thanks for all the support. I really wouldn't have gotten through these 6 days with this forum. You all have been amazing!
My appt with my neurologist is next week, so I'm hoping she can move things along alot faster. Getting another MRI and getting me into pain management. Yesterday when the urgent doctor review the notes of my old MRIs she mentioned something I was never told before...I asked her to explain it to ke and she said it means my spine gets spongy at times. Wth does that mean? And why am I finding this out almost 2years later. They've got a lot of explaining to do and need to help me because I can't do this. I'm so sorry about your pain but can so you truly are an inspiration pushing through the pain. Because if yours is anything like mine, you truly are a trooper. I hope it gets a lot better for you a lot quicker!
So are you almost at the week mark? I think I remember you had one slip but that shouldn't make a big difference. Getting 7 days is big, the worst is definitely behind you.
As far as fighting with your husband, its pretty much unavoidable as we don't become our old selves just because the meds leave our body. That takes time and right now you are having to deal with a lot. Try to take it in stride, don't let the stress take away the progress. Non-addicts have a hard time understanding what we are going through, I just had a nasty 9 year breakup because of all this. It may sound selfish, but you have to look after your health before anything else, there will never be a perfect time to get clean without having stuff that needs to get done at the same time.

It's all worth the fight! My nerve pain is literally on fire!!! But....darn it, I know there has to be some alternatives. Day 9 and 10 a little rough. Feel like I'm back at day 4. But it's just a good reminder NOT TO USE PILLS!! Don't ever want to go through this again. Have you been able to refrain from taking the few pills you have on hand? Please try an NA meeting. The support is amazing!!
Hi, well my pain is right back to where it was when I was initially prescribed the medicine. I am going to see my neurologist next week, so hopefully I will get the relief I need and an answer because since this started I have gotten so many different answers as to what's wrong with me. I cannot function with the back pain, hence the beginning of pain management in the past. I can sit, stand, lay, or walk for too long because I'm totured. I'm trying. I got through the physical parts, now I have to plan my next step carefully.
Good morning, I am no longer in charge of the finances in my home...my husband is. We had our big blow out yesterday, that I'm surprised didn't come sooner during this detox process, I think mainly thanks to all the support I've received on here. But yesterday was pretty bad. And when things finally calmed down, we were able to talk it out. Financially, yes I've put us in somewhat of a rut, meaning after bills are paid, the rest would go to my stupid addiction. I still haven't made a decision as what to do right now. I've got all my appts set up, to start the process over with pain management, so we'll see how things turn out. I know and have heard the success stories, and I'm so truly happy for everyone who has continued their hard work. Again, I haven't made a decision as of yet. Still torn. Thank you still for the encouragement. I appreciate everything! I'm really trying my hardest to do what's best for my family.
