Take it from me the withdrawal symptoms will b alot worse the longer u wait. I got addicted @ 19 and I am 27 now on suboxone maintenance.  I wish I wd have just roughed it out when I first realized it. If u have family that lives elsewhere, I suggest to go stay w them for a while and just seperate urself fr the people and surroundings that u r in now. Be honest about ur addiction and that will keep u safe. I wish everyday of my life that someone wd have told me this and that I wd have done it. If u do it now u still have a shot of a normal life. Just go away to a safe place where u will have support in a healthier environment. Stay there for 2-3 months. And there is no excuse good enough for u to not do this. It will save ur life! Or at least give u back a life worth living. It will save u so much trouble, money, pain and strife in the long run. I promiseit will b hard but when it does go online and talk to other addicts or look on youtube and look @ videos of people talking about the pain they r in bc of drugs ruining their lives to remind u how awful the vicious cycle is. Bc if all ur taking is one a day u still have an amazing shot!!! Ur lucky u realized it so soon. Bc it will turn into 2 then 3 a day then u will b up to 6 or 7 and lose everyone u knows trust and all of ur $$ and resources. When they told us it was a dead end road,they weren't lying bc if u keep going down this road u will continuously come to this same conclusion over and over and over again til u either die or end up in jail or just miserable feeling like **** about urself. Hope u take this advice to heart. I never ever reply to blogs. This is the first one I have ever replied to and I hope it was worth it bc if one person is helped bc of the addiction I have had then some good has come from it.

here here mellie---youngn you would be surprised on what help your parents will be. You are their child and they would move mountains or you. So PLEASE talk to them.

I just want to add that I agree with quitinoxys.  TELL your parents.  As a mom, I can promise you that even though I may be disappointed, the ONLY thing I would want is to help my child beat this and get better.  I would never want them to go through it alone.  Even though it's hard to believe when you're young, your parents really are your best friends.  Most kids feel like they can't tell their parents things like they have a drug problem or that they're pregnant or anything like that.  But I can assure you that your parents ONLY want you to be safe, healthy and happy.

Hey guy great to hear you realize drugs will destroy your life. My god your just a kid!!! You should be worrying about how to enjoy your summer not withdrawals. I noticed that you are from central Jersey, depending on what area you are from there are may teen NA meetings around you should look into them. As far as withdrawals I don't think you should feel to bad as you are on a low dose & duration. Continued use WILL only make MUCH WORSE. So stop using right now and go tell your parents that you want help. You have such a long life ahead of you don't screw it up for a fake feeling, go out and experience real lfe. I will pray for you and am pulling for you SO STOP taking that poison.

You'll find support here.  Give it a little time, it's early on a Sunday.

You might get more information if you have more details.  You say you're very young.  How old are you?  Since you say you're wasting all your money, you must be getting the roxicet off the street and not from a doctor.

There are many ways to get off them, and I'm sure you'll get good advice here.  I'm reluctant to give you my opinion because I'm on oxycodone for pain management through a doctor and I don't abuse them.  But I know I want to get off them at some point, and I read up on things here because it's filled with great information.

Good luck.  You can do this!  And as I'm sure someone else will mention, you haven't been on them all that long and the dose you take is a lot less than some people, which will probably make any withdrawals a little shorter and not as bad as some.

There are things you can take to help with it.  Look under the Health Pages and you'll find ideas to help with certain symptoms.  There's something called the Thomas Recipe that is supposed to help a lot.

Again, there will be people with much more helpful information coming on and they'll be able to help you a lot more than I can.
