Roxie, loratab withdrawal
Hey guys! Let me start by saying I'm on my 2nd day of withdrawal from opiates, mainly roxies and tab 10's. I started taking tabs about year and half ago, but of course after a year those were not good enough. I was introduced to roxie 30's about 6 months ago. Of course once I started those the tabs sucked,familiar cycle anyone? The weird thing was I would never do more then 45mg of the roxies daily. I would snort that 45mg, immediate euphoria. I never knew this would become me. I'm tired of this life, a stupid pill controlling my every thought. My family does not know about this addiction, I have a beautiful wife and 2year old son. I guess they are the reason I only was doing 45mg a day. I had bills and stayed somewhat responsible during this addiction. But every extra dollar wa spent on pills. ...My question since I was only taken 45mg of this crap, will my withdrawal be short?. I'm day 2 low energy ,but taking Thomas receipe. I have not had runs yet, still waiting. Bad cravings, going to work tomorrow with no pills will be a challenge. Pray for me, this is my 2nd time trying to quit.
@aw my boy is 22months. He is a doll. He is the reason I am done with drugs. All the extra money I spent on drugs over a 12 year period. I stopped smoking pot 2 months ago and pills 6days ago. Just s quick update for today, I feel great! Wow did not think I would feel so good already. Its official the dang pills are over. Just now I have to get a root canal, but not going to take any pain meds. Wow I am so proud I made it to day 6.
Yay! Another day down. I am on day 6, almost 7. Sorry to hear that story about your dad. That must have been horrible to see. How old is your baby? I have a 2 1/2 yo. Makes this that much harder, and more important. Good luck. Hang in there. @jay I know what u mean about the lab rat thing. That discribes me perfectly.
DAY 5 - Well I cleaned for 1.5hrs and ran some errands this morning. Wow I'm tired now. I hope day 6 is good. I will stop writing on this same page, and start a new one after day 6. I hopefully can leave this 6 day journey for someone. I will be honest this was not easy, but not hard. The cravings are gone, the thought of a pill now makes me sick. Hate them things. Quick story shy I hate them, my dad tried to commit sucide over pills twice. Each time he failed and ended up in rehab where they doped him up, what a joke that place was. He is doing fine now, but my dumb self ended up becoming addicted. These pills have put a lot of stress on my family, but I am happy to quit before it got too serious. oh yea, I also seen my dad get his stomach flushed with charcoal .. you never want to be on that end of things, horrible site. Just crazy how my dad fought this addiction and so can YOU! Peace
You took the words out of my mind. It's crazy how these drugs make you feel like you're all alone, but I'm telling you I feel exactly the same as you. I can't go 2 minutes without resorting back to thoughts about 'how much better this moment would be if I had a pill.' Thankfully, our minds heal up pretty well, but the first week is pure misery. I've been through it more times than I can count. Sometimes I just feel like a lab rat that is going back for the reward. The most I've made it in the past couple of years was 20 days. I felt infinitely better, but I just couldn't say no to a few Oxys when offered up for free. I always know I shouldn't give in, but the reward is so nice in the moment that I always give in. It's demoralizing! I have found that it is all about the opportunity. You have to cut out ANY CONNECTION to the drug. For me, thats tough because it's my mom so I continue to ride the rollercoaster. Maybe I will learn this time. Life, as a whole, is much better sober, but it's that moment in time that we crave that gets us all.
@aw Its kind of weird about cravings, I think its all mental. I tried to quit before, but cravings got the best of me and relapses. Now my wife said she is gone if I relapse along with my baby. I gave her total control of my money. This has helped a lot this time. I have no other option but to stay clean. Its almost like my mind is ready to get off this s-hit. I have cravings all the time , but none make me relapse like before. Hangg in there! What day sober ae you?
I'm still here, glad to see you are as well. It hasent been easy for me. I crave them every hour that I am awake. Everyone says 'do stuff to take your mind off it ' well I can't. It's always there. Sometimes I don't know if I want it bad enough. I don't like spending tons of money on drugs, I don't like 'needing' to take something to get stuff done. So why is this so hard? Now I am just rambling. I think it's all these emotions. Never had to deal with them before. Oh and to answer your question, sleep? What sleep? Haha anyways hang in there.
Tram thank you. That made me feel really good. You don't know how good that felt. I never been through this, so not sure what goals I should have next, nor sure if day 5 is good etc
DAY 5 - its going really well. I have little WD side effects, mainly sluggish and not much of appetite. I went to get a oil change and ran some errands. I would have needed pills to do this before. Just a little better every day cravings come and go. It might be to early, but I am clean now! I'm not going back to pills. Enough about me, anyone need my support ?
Day 4 coming to end. I had another burst of energy after lunch, it felt good. I am sluggish now, but anyone would be if they did not sleep well the night before. They say day 5 you show improvement, we'll see. Its been a tough 4 days folks, but I made it. I am not going back to pills or I will lose my family. My wife is now controlling my money for a month. I screwed that up, but I don't blame her. Enough about me, how is everyone ??
@aw. I'm with you on this road to recovery. We can do it! Everyday will be better. I told all my contacts I was done, luckily they understood or I would delete them. I probably should delete them, but they are friends. Good luck to you. How u sleeping after day 3?
hey just wanted to stop by and give support. I am on day 5 ct off of tons of oxy/roxi. This is not my first time trying this but I hope to make it my last. The mental part gets me everytime. That and my 'guy' always just calls and calls. I cave. My fault. But anyways hope you are doing ok today. I don't feel great but I feel ok. Better everyday right? Hopefully. Hang in there.
@Laurel I am on the Thomas receipe along with muscle milk to help with recovery. I am not taking anything for sleep, I hate taking drozy mess. I think I will be fine. I have been walking and lifting weights, this helps. Last night was a set back, I knew this was going to good. I took some ecederin around 8, that might have not been a good idea.
My wife said she will leave me if I use again. This is,my only option to stay clean. My mind is not cloudy anymoe, so that's great. Just feel like I'm getting back to normal. The pyscho part does scare me, but I have had many cravings

yeah... things go better but...and it is a big "but" don't think it is done...there are still physical symptons like lack of sleep, energy, RLS ...and of course, the mental symptons, the mental battle is really hard...like the anxiety you have already experienced tonight...maybe some valerian root can help you here . I don't know if you are taking any medicines....Also the healthier you live now, the better.... exercise, a very healthy diet... are you taking vitamins and aminos ? they are a big help now .... keep working on your recovery, Rick :)
Teddy - You can do it also,.I loved these pills with the best of them. My dad and mom take pills, just want a different life then them. I was buying most of my pills of the street, no real medical condition. Try a tamper and laxitive before cold turkey, that's what I did. Seems to have worked. The laxitive flushed out some.toxins not all. I pulling for you bro.
Day 4 - I had,my worst sleep since I quit using. Felt like I was having panic attacks. Just sucked last night. I'm off to work, don't feel too bad. Hope everyone is doing good.
You can do it rick. One day at a time. I wish i had your BALLS!! Iv been on meds for years with pack pain/ surgery. Im in the same boat....my secret....no extra $. Tired of it, want to try to stop...but have tried too many times with sickness i cant even begin to describe. My problem is.....is that i love those damn pills so much and how they make me feel, i dont know if i want to go through life without them! I give you alot of respect rick....i hope u kick um and the best of luck!!
@domino - no recovery center for me. I'm going to beat this with faith and your and everyones support
Anyone up? I think this Thomas receipe worked. The wd's were minimum. I hope I'm not speaking to early. Day 4 better be good to me. I'm still waiting for a major craving. Will this happen?
Hoping for good day tomorrow. I hope I'm over this for good. Thinking of hitting gym for 30min
What happens after day 4? Do I start feeling normal. I told my wife about my problem, she is supporting me. She was pissed I was spending $300-$400 a month on pills.
Hi..... you know everyone is different but for most of us days 3/4 were usually the worst but it seems you are doing pretty well :)
