To: anyone
tonight my fiancee and i quit using oxycontin(about 250mg for me and 150mg a day for her for the last three months) . We have lost much and are on the brink of losing all. Eight years ago i was addicted to herion and crack but a conbination of jail time , na, aa , family support, and most of all God saved me and gave me years and years of sobriety excluding drinking which never in the least tempted me to use again. In januarry I was in a severe car accident which left me in a coma for a month and most of it was drug induced. I had pain and started using percs to control it and got carried away into patches but utilized my prior knowledge to go through being sick and being sober again for a couple months until i gave in to some pain and discovered oxy.I began shooting it like back in the day and well here i am thousands of dollars later on the brink in despair. I am ready and prepared to be done but I have an idea which im not sure is a dope feind one or not. I need your help on this. The sickness is always to hard on me and ive felt so hopeless against it lately that i checked into a meth clinic but when they gave me the drink i spilled it on mself on purpose and left never to return about a week ago. I was going to do it for three days to help with sickness of coming off oxy. Well, now this is my plan.... I ran across some suboxone and they only had seven eight mg tabs. I plan on doing one for each of us tomorrow and the dayh after. then breaking them in half and doing four days of halves, then breaking the last one into quarters and doing a quarter a day for last two day. Basically an eight day rapid taper on sub, not enough sub to get addicted to sub but long enough for oxy to get out of system. besides the mental effects and dealing with this do you think that physically that could work? If someone could respond quickly i would really appreciate it. thanks friends

i have been up and down this road so many times that the bushes, trees and stones know my name. my advice to you is to go ahead and suffer. get you mind to flip it so that drugs equal pain. let's face it, ultimately and without question for addicts this is a simple fact. i just spent many days with my tail stapled to the couch all alone, said nothing to anyone. flipped flopped, screamed, cried, most likely got fired. i want to remember every agonizing moment. all the emptying out of the puke bucket. all the baths and showers. this time i had to do the full SUFFER. no thomas recipe, no benzos. drugs should not be linked to pleasure in my mind any time soon. my best advice to you is to suffer and remember the suffering. when you want to get high(a condition i pretty much couldn't even achieve anymore) remember the pain it will ultimately cause. a little preachy, sorry. i mean the best for you. if you have a head near as hard as mine, this is the best advice i have. do with it what you will. blessed be, sway

Sounds like you've been down this road before as most of us.  Read the PAWS info contained in this site.  The physical wds suk but only last a week or so; the really hard part, as you said, is the anxiety, depression, emotional roller-coaster, etc. that occurs after you stop.

Keep Posting your questions...

I tried subs the same way you are going to attempt-------didn't work for me ----it does take the w/ds away but when you quit the subs even short term I got w/ds from the subs-I was taking 2 mgs tapering to 1/2 mg-------What messed with me the most was anxiety  and depression------I had to start taking percs again and then c/t off them-----subs stay in your system a long time-------some people swear by them---------I'm 8 days clean and feeling better everyday after 2 yrs. of addiction----------keep posting---you will get help here----Good luck!
