Percocet withdrawls

[smokinggunn]

I am on day 3 fighting the devil. The chills,upset stomach, RLS, you name it I got it. How long before this subsides.
I have been taking 12 10/325 per day the last two years or so. When will the withdrawls stop? any feedback will be greatly appreciated

Hi smoking I am sorry to hear of your battle. I am as you are addicted to these damn pills while I can't give you something that I make the pain go away just remember all the times we have to make up the stories to get new pills running out early just how horrible that makes you feel I was without the pills for four days last week and it was a living hell I had no choice but to refill and trying to taper down now. Stay strong and just know that the pain you're in now is nothing compared to happen to keep trying to live this way

Thanks for the support. I am glad that I am on the downhill portion of this journey wasnt sure how much more I could take. I appreciate everyones support I couldnt have gotten thru it without this forum and the people that care.

I feel so much better than yesterday. I still get the chills and skin crawling off and on not constantly. I have been drinking water seems like by the gallon trying to stay hydrated and flush my system out. I am looking forward to day 5
Thanks again for your support

I am going to take My Nightly walk and also write in my journal Its so helpful You should write in a journal The whole point for me was I wrote whatever I wanted things you should say or think and do I cry sometimes but wowza It helps Like a big relief lifted once I get it all down on paper. I havent went back yet and read it all Maybe i will soon But try it and I am here to talk if u need me.
Keep on pushing through you can do this You really should turn a corner on the WD symptoms and that helps alot!  Sleep will help so sleep when you can. Exercise helps with anxiety! It really does

[conhall]

I felt same way when I looked in mirror But now when I look I see so many possibilities and you will also , I was forced into quitting and I tell you I was in full mode panic But I came on here and as everyone knows I was crazyed anxiety full blown and so many people on here reached out to me and pulled me through!
just Read the post everyone has posted for advice and take it in. It really does work I promise.
One thing you need to do is make sure You are unable to relapse get pill sources away from you tell Drs and friends not to give them to you. I never understood this when i was told this but Its so important! because you will want pills . Just stay strong and keep posting and you will get through this! Day 3 for you and before you know it will be day 4, 10,16 :)

Hey don't put yourself down you are not worthless you are a fallible human being as we all are. I know when we in the throws of w/d we really feel down on ourselves, but just look at what your doing. You are being a man and facing your demons. Please keep it up your are doing great and YOU WILL DO THIS. You should be turning the corner any day now. So next time you look into that mirror look at the successful person you are for getting your life back. I am praying for you and asking God to give you strength and to guide you through all of this. Remember you are worth this and it takes a strong person to do what you ARE doing. God Bless---Rick

I probably missed your initial post... Do you have legit pain/ health issues? If so, then you should let your doc know what you are trying to do. When you detox, pain - real or imagined - is amplified. Your body is adjusting to the absence of being constantly bombarded with meds. As time passes the pain will decrease. But like I said, folks with real pain who are tired of being on pills really should get their doc involved.
Day 3 is generally the hardest of the bunch. Day 4 will be difficult, but the creepy crawlies were gone on day 4. I remember the times that I wished there was a zipper somewhere so I could in zip and step out of my own skin. It does get better with time. Look at it this way - you started this thread about 4 hours ago! That's 4 down. Now on to day 4. I promise youmthatnit will get much, much better. And listen - YOU AREN'T JUST A JUNKIE. We are many things; unfortunately addiction happens to be a part of us, but it can be made a very small, controlled part. Like I said, over dramatizing and over evaluating everything we do or have done is just a part of mid-detox. Don't sell yourself short. Don't beat up on yourself. It's silly and serves no purpose. Really. You CAN be proud of what you're doing. I'll leave you with what my doc said after I told him that I'm an addict and wanted to quit " Good for you! Few people can admit that they have a problem, and fewer still will ever do anything about it!". You and I are in the "fewer still" group. Welcome aboard!

congrats on your 16 days clean that is awesome. cant wait until i get to that point. when i look at myself in the mirror I feel like I am staring a junkie and a worthless POS. Honestly. I am so ready for this to end. thank you for your support it really has helped me get through this day without running out to get a fix.

[quitinoxys]

Smokinggunn You are doing great and you should be turning the corner at anytime. I know it's tough but keep your eyes on the prize "Getting your life back".

As far as settling your stomach you should try some peppermint tea it works wonders. For the anxiety try some Valerian root tea it helps you sleep and will calm your nerves. For the pain try putting cinnamon it chamomile tea as cinnamon is a natural anti-inflammatory and does help with pain.

Once your stomach calms down you can try some California Poppy, it is a cousin to the Asian Poppy but without the opium. I has the same analgesic properties as the Asian Poppy but won't make you addicted since it contains the same type alkaloids. You can get it at the health food store or an Asian (Chinese market).   I hope this helps you as it has for me.

The wd for me lasted about 4 days the worst of it! I still had insomnia issues for first week But as the days passed It got easier I am on day 16 and am sleeping 6-7 hours which is good for me i have always had sleep issues. Stomach Issues eased up on day 3 and i ate like apig on day 4 and It came right back up so take it easy I really feel you will see a turn for better within 24 hours. You are not a failure You are doing what it takes to take your life bcak! Be proud of yourself!

[smokinggunn]

thank you for the support. What do you do about the pain that brought me to this point?Taking percs was my last result.I have taken a bunch of different things but nothing seemed to work except percs. My mind is racing and feel like I am about to lose it at times, other times I feel better. Not sure how much more I can endure. when will i know i am on the downside with a light at the end of the tunnel?

[kyle505]

Ok - talk about crying...I posted this before - day 4 I made myself get out and get a haircut. Wanted to feel like I'd accomplished something. I'd feel better. Got to the shop, it was closed! I panicked. Anxiety attack. Then I cried all the way home (which little piggy did that?). That's a great example of mid-detox drama.
Try to keep your body nourished. Drink lots of healthy stuff. If youve had the runs then get drinks that can replace lost electrolytes. Hot baths. Then build your foundation for staying clean...cut all sources to meds, and start after care. Be honest about your addiction with friends, family and loved ones. Don't listen to the voices; they never stop.  It's a life long struggle, but it can be done. Life after pills is really wonderful. A lot of positive things to cry about.

[smokinggunn]

How much longer does this last? I feel like I am in a losing battle at times. A failure of a father and just a junkie

[smokinggunn]

Thank you for the kind words. I am really struggling with this addiction I was able to keep down a couple of bananas, the only thing I have been able to keep down for three days Stomach much better now hopefully this is the starting point of recovery of feeling so awful.
I did allow myself to cry and it did help a lot. I was raised men don't cry.
I am 39 yo and cant remember the last time i really cried. it has to be 25 years.but it felt great afterwards

[conhall]

and PS real men do cry In my opinion a real man does cry Stay strong ((( HUGS)))) It does I promise get better!
