Day 3 detox

[BIKERDAD1963]

WOW I still feel pretty good. I have a slight headache and am a bit tired but no other wd symptoms at all. I have been sleeping well and am eating well. I got to say that my taper is working like a charm. You can compare my taper detox with my ct detox in my journal by daily symtoms. I also put my taper schedule in there also.

I was on oxycontin (480mg day) for 2 years.  I tried to come off of them several times either by choice or because I took them too quickly and had no refill, but I've never totally gotten through withdrawal. I've gotten to day 4 and I couldn't take it anymore and took opiates again. I've been on Suboxone for 1 year now, and I'm deathly afraid to lower my dose (8mg day), for fear of the withdrawal. Any advice on how to titrate down, my doctor is useless.

I am not sure of ur original dose...mine was btw 80-100 mgs of hydro a day for a few days...i felt like u...not great//a bit flulike..but nuttin awful..runs were the worst and 1 immodium stopped that for the day..people r so afraid of physical wd..mine in actuality lasted 3 days..stayed off work day 4 but coulda worked on day 4//back day 5 and my job is both mentally and physically stressful..i made it..the mental part/fatigue and depression hit a few weeks later and for me that sukked!..lasted a couple of mths til i resumed my work outs to increase endorphin production and re-read the thomas recipe..i survived working 5 days a week with rocket shots,,,it was tough,,but this was my mental aftermath..people r so afraid of physical wds when most everyone here has had a flu way worse the the wd from their doc....read and learn...fear of physical wd can paralyze u...in reality u r afraid of the wrong spect of getting clean..this part is a cinch for most and way less suffering than anticipated//i had visions of throwing up and writhing all over the floor or sumpin...was just a few days of feeling a bit yucky

make a plan..fears of wd is ur least problem...keep posting.read the health pages and learn

Ive been watching your progress and checked out your journal. I seem to be dropping about the same amount in the same amount of days as you were toward the last few weeks. Im hoping mine goes as well when I get down that low. Im on 3 a day now, same yesterday. A bit tired today and Ive had to resist getting number 4 today. But I stayed away from it. Probably be better in a few days. Good luck to you and you are doing great!
