Thomas's DeTox Reciepe

[DocHolliday]

Would anyone know where I can find his formula. Also, thanks for the replies. For the last two full weeks I have reduced the "doses" I take per day. Going from at least 5 and usually 7-8 per day, I am now just "needing" to have some in the morning, afternoon and before bed. I also have reduced the amount per dose by a few pills. I have been reading alot of info on some Narcotics Detoxification Under Anesthesia clinic. Seems to me in a nut shell, they put you under for a few hours, and prescribe a drug such as Naltrexone for a week or two and thats it? Well, thanks for listening. P.S. Wiz, thanks for the support...Peace Out...Doc

The hydros are ok to quit CT...the ativan needs to be tapered...dangerous to quit benzos CT...u posted on an old post...a new question would draw attn to ur needs

[jessiepalooza]

I found out I had fibromyalgia and soft tissue rheumatism, pretty painful stuff with no cure..
I started taking Lortab 10 four times a day and have been doing this for three years...
I have been taking this mixed with an ativan 2mg's for anxiety each day..
so that's four lortab ten's and one ativan each day...
I can remember hurting , my reason for this cocktail...
I do know I am gonna hurt again, I used to manage my pain somehow before getting this prescription...
I have found that the hot baths for pain that comes from withdrawals also may help the pain from my diseases.. hmm we will see...
I am also taking five hour energy shots to help the blah feelings...
    
I made a decision to stop taking the Lortab yesterday, I went from 40 mg's to  twenty yesterday, today I am working on just five mg's and its 8:00 p.m. I have decided to take three ativans and sleep as much as possible, done in increments of course...
I have a question?
Do any of you experience this horrific cough during the withdrawal period?
I would love to take the ativan and sleep , if only I could stop the #@%$ coughing ...
I look forward to reading the post here..
good luck to everyone!

i am quitting methadone 40mgs. and 18 5 mg oxycodone a day. i took my last oxy. at 4 p.m. i am more afraid of methadone w/d from what ive read tonight about it. i have klonopin, and thomas recipe but i am scared. i only have 4 days to get it done. iam at my moms but my 4 kids get out for the summer on thursday. does anybody think i can really do this or should i get off 1 or the other, or just taper. i just seperated with my husband of 20 years. my kids 11,13,15 and 17 are depending on me to make the right choice with their dad. i need to be depending on God and this medication is not helping with clarity.any feed back would be great. i took 1 klonopin when will seious w/d set in? thanks lysah

hi my boyfriend and i have been using various opiods for the last 3 years, heroin, percodan, methadone etc. we are gearing up for our umptienth withdrawl (#7 for me and #3 for him) and will be getting a kick kit from a clinic (clonodine,anti inflamatory and valium) i have also stocked up on kava kava, valarian, and mega green vitamins. Right now we are using percodan but are thinking of switching to heroin because the withdrawl time seems to be so much shorter even if it is more intense. any thoughts or advice.

Hi there everyone. I have been reading these messages for aboutthe last two months. And I finally took the leap and I am in the process of getting off of Lortab(Hydrocodone) addiction.
It has been almost a week sinve my last full day on the pills. A week ago today i was taking 6-8 pills a day sometimes more. The wednesday following that i broke down and took 1-1/2. Since wednesday I have not taken anything except the vitamins, vallium, and stuff listed in Thomas' recipe. My question is this.
How long does it take for the weird feeling in my stomach and the cold sweats to go away. I really feel like i am almost over the hump here. Would just be nice to havean indication of about how long i hace left.

thanks,
-W

Even though I have'nt gone through the entire thread yet(but I will)  I did see the part where you wanted to detox yourself at home but couldn't tell the family(is this correct?)  I am in a situation very similar.  I'm addicted to Codeine and I have to get off of it.  I can't tell my significant other or my 16 year old daughter that I screwed up again( they have been through this with me 2 or 3 times before when I entered hospitals to detox) once for booze, then for Xanex, then for codeine.  I was on Librium for anxiety before my last detox and when I entered a facility for depression and to get off codeine, I was forced to get off the Librium too(it was horrible).  That was just this past December of 2000.  I ruined everyones Christmas!  My daughter was devestated.  I just can't bear to face her again with this and to go away and detox like before.  She has problems of her own, serious ones and I need to be there for her, I don't want her to know that i let her down once again.  Also, I'm responsable for taking care of her 78 year old grandmother (not my mother), cause nobody else in the family will do it.  So, in light of all this, i want to detox myself at home, but I don't know how.  I am going to Narcotics Anonymous meetings or AA meetings every day, but I haven't started to taper off the codeine yet. I wish someone could show me how to do this without my family finding out and keeping my sanity at the same time.  This is a tall order! The one good thing is I have Klonipin for the anxiety, because recently i started having Panic attacks due to stress and the codeine.  I have two different kinds of codeine pills.  One is called Panadeine which is like Tylenol with codeine, only there are 8mg of codeine in each pill, and I have a ibuprofen/codeine combination that has 12 mg. of codeine each.  Then there is the cough medicine I take that has 6mg of codeine per teaspoon.  I've been alternating with these three things throughout my day and lose track of how much codeine I actually take in 24hrs, and I am going to start writing it down.  My biggest fear is accidental overdose, but I still keep doing it and I need help badly.  Please, can somebody show me how to get off of this ****,  I'll even leave my email address if anyone who reads this wants to mail me any suggestions, and to benefit me with their own experiences.  Please help!   Liz      ***@****
