Pretty nervous... help

Ok, so I have like 3 roxys and then I am out. I plan not to buy anymore after this but I hate that edgy feeling you get when you get low. I really don't have the money to buy anymore either. The symptoms are really making me nervous as well. I have a dr appt to see my pcp on monday to ask for help. I guess its like a step one for me. I still take the vics. I am praying everyday that she will be able to come up with a plan I can follow since that seems to work best with things in my life.. Following a plan that someone else tells me to do....

So it is not day 6 and I am still feeling well, thankfully! I get the cold sweats here and there but it's also 94 out with a heat index of 105!!! BLAH!!! Anyway.. The days are getting easier. I don't even think about those nasty pills anylonger. I'm sure there will come a tempting time but as for now and hopefully ever I hope that time does not come. I don't know what I would have done without all of the support of everyone on this website, thank you all so much!!

yoga is the best exercise I have found to relax and alter my mind OUT and AWAY from my pills.... my next one is Zumba - though it totally kicks my behind - that is ALL but relaxing! :D :D  

My kids argue and fight alot, so that adds to my trouble with trying to get out of the house with them together, all they do is fight and that's very hard to deal with if your pushing a stroller, so I def. know how it is with two kiddos. But, I'm glad that you have an older son whom you can count on! My oldest is very helpful, but when they work together....eeeek! :D  

Keep up your great work -you are sdoing so well and I just pray I can say the same very very soon!

well it's oficially been 24 hours since I last took a roxy. Not to be nasty but I already have the runs and I don't know why. There is nothing going around. I did go theu a mud wrap about 6 days ago that apparently detoxes your body and I had no idea until after I read about it lol Just always wanted one. Anyone think that would or may have helped at all???

Are you planning on smoking pot?   Some say it's helped,I don't happen to like it at all.

But,for you...No!    You don't want to be stoned all day with the baby to care for. Try a cool bath...keep eating and drinking and focus on your baby. The time will pass.

I wouldn't know from experience, but someone told me that it helps a LOT with withdrawals.  I'm sure others will have other opinions on the subject, as some people consider pot addictive, while others don't.

Ok... I have been thinking.... Let me ask this what if you just smoke pot all day? (this isn't like a joke) anyone?

I've started smoking at least 2 packs a day as of just a couple of days ago... before that was about 1 pack a day... can't afford to keep smoking at this rate!

oh, and hang in there....!!!

Hey there~  Sometimes those headaches are rebound from the lack of opiates. Drink a Coke and take some aspirin. Have you eaten anything?   I understand about smoking,believe me,but it's gonna make you feel worse unless you eat and drink A LOT of water and juice.
Keep posting and just throw those vics in the potty and flush twice!!!

Well, now that you know it was a real good thing to do, did you get the pills out of the house? If you keep them around they will just continue to call your name and give you an excuse to use them. A headache, a stubbed toe, and the list goes on and on. I live with chronic back pain and on any given day I could give myself 10 reasons to pick up a pill.

Did you yet consider to seek aftercare? I think you are getting a good dose right now of how much this is a mental disease and how much it plays with your mind. If you want to talk about some aftercare solutions (suggestions), just yell.

It was a stupid move I know I shouldn't have even touched any of the vics. I took some thins morning and nothing. I think I was more frustrated then anything. I am going to see what the rest of the day brings as I have a major headache today (go figure) and have been out on the back porch smoking like a chimney....

Good luck.  You might want to try the Thomas recipe and the Amino Acid Protocol under the health pages.  A lot of people say they help.  And just about everyone's story I've read say mild exercise, like walking, helps, too.  Anything you can do to make yourself feel even a bit better will be good, especially since you have kids.  

You talked about your family getting to know the real you.  Do they know you're going through this?  Can they give you a hand?

I'm on pain meds for chronic pain, and once went into the beginning of the withdrawals.  Wasn't fun.  Soaking in a hot tub does help the muscle aches.

Since you were getting the pills from your doctor, hopefully he/she will be really supportive of your decision and help you through this.  You'll get great support here.  Good for you to recognize what's going on and stop it now.

Ahah, did not see the post about the vic's. I "assumed" that you were totally done. Listen to the advise given and get rid of what you are clutching onto. If you want this you have to do it all the way. Look at some of the other folks and how they went ct. they are here to talk about it. You can do this and you have a heck of a support group right here to help you through!

Day 11 c/t here and you just reminded me to take my vitamins - thank u!  
Like you, I'm actually smoking a lot more since I stopped the oxys and percs, but I hope I can do something about that when I'm thoroughly clean and thru this stage of my life.
I don't (can't actually) drink beer or any type of liquor either, which I've often wished I could.
