I'm very scared

[qcldtrky]

I just took my last percocet. I'm very scared of the physical body with drwals. If anyone out there can help me with that on something I can get over there counter to help with the physical body symptoms please tell me asap!I have conquered this demon once I will do it again. But I found this site by typing in percocet withdwals and I'm glad I'm not alone someone please keep in touch I know this is going to hurt the next two days especially thank you.

Also I have read a lot about Naltrexone and people report having absolutely no cravings for Percocet (or other Opioids) after going on it or getting the implant. The time to start on it is after the opioids are out of your system completely. Naltrexone itself is inexpensive and your doctor could prescribe it, but the implant is usually done at a Drug Rehab Center and is somewhat expensive. Many people find remarkable benefits from it. I suggest researching it.

I have heard that Benedryl helps some people during med withdrawals. Also there are cleanses at the Health Food Store that might help speed your body along in the Detox. I know some people use Sonne's 7 which is a Bentonite Clay that pulls all the toxins out of you tissues. I'm not a doctor but thought maybe these might help.

You can get through this and it sounds like you have done it once already. Be careful with the benzo's. I was stupid enough to go through both opiate and benzo WD's and IMO the benzo WD was much, much worse. Opiate WD is bad enough. Its not going to be easy but it is so worth it. I like you got hooked because of pain but I found that my pain was not that bad and our bodies have a way of controlling pain if we let it. Some people have real chronic pain and I feel bad for them. Hopefully you have some support. Once you get through these next 4 or so days try to get yourself involves in aftercare. Don't worry about that right now just concentrate on getting through today. God bless.

Okay.  So here's the deal.  You are going to go through a hell like w/d that will last about 5 days and peak at day 3/4.  It is like a very bad flu.  Stock up on gatorade, immodium, crackers, and vitamins.  Look up the Thomas Recipe.  Take lots of baths with epsom salts.  I lived in the bath for 5 days.  The fear is going to make it worst so try to see this as the AWESOME process it is, of getting your life back, and just go with it.  Keep distracted with movies and TV, move around as much as you can.  Start taking melatonin for sleep as soon as you can.  It's natural and takes awhile to build in your system but will eventually help you to regulate your sleep/wake schedule.  The biggest part of w/d is the mental.  You have to have a greater desire to be clean than you do to use.  You must cut off all sources and come clean to your family, doctor etc.  Then start thinking about aftercare as so many of us know- getting clean is the easy part.  Staying clean is a whole other process.  Just take it one moment at a time and know in your darkest moments that FREEDOM and PEACE are right around the corner.
It's not easy, but nothing in life worth having is ever easy and you deserve to be happy and healthy.  Your pain is going to be MUCH worst during detox and it can take as long as a month to be able to evaluate how much pain you are actually in.  I have chronic pain and illness and found that after a month I was in far less pain than I was on the pills.  Until now- but that's another story.  Keep posting and we will support you.
Congrats on your decision.  Just take it one moment at a time.

I noticed I was taking to much about two months ago when they weren't working the way they should be. and I started getting angry if I took to much but it was ten 325  one twenty a month. then just went down to 5 325 one twenty a month and I couldn't control how many id take in a day it was like I was only taking them to not go through withdrals and I new I had taken to much and before I realized it I was out so I made the choice to stop taking them cause I cant control the amount to take every day even though I have cronic pain I know I can deal with it without the pain meds im just afraid of the leg shakes and sickness my dr apt was on the 13th and im out already and I don't want to go through this anymore id rather deal with my pain then keep worrying about pain medicicne im scared the withdrals are going to hurt me I do have klonapin for anxiety and I know that will help but im really scared I wont be able to handle the withdrals

Can you tell us how much you had been taking? Did you taper at all?  It'll help answer you better.
