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

Hi, I detoxed about 11 days ago and by the third day, I felt ALOT better....you are on your way out of the bad physical stuff.....but the depression does suck.  What has worked for me is making myself exercise, getting my natural endorphins going....dont think taking a pill is gonna make you feel better....it will for a moment, but then you will have to go though that horrifying detox AGAIN!!!  Your in the business, you know all about what your supposed to do, but I have found talking in this forum has helped me tremendously.  There are alot of very caring people on here.  Hang in there, your almost out of the woods.....

Hi, I'm new to this.  Want to hear a joke?  I'm a drug counselor who got hooked on Vicodin.  I'm 48 hrs (almost) into detox and it's HARD.  The worst part is the depression,, anxiety and guilt.  I feel like sh-t for doing to myself and my family.  I've been hiding my growing habit (if I can get them, I'm taking about 10 pills twice a day).  I honestly don't know if I'm going to make it, even tho' I know I don't have a choice.  I feel like I'd do anything just to get five minutes of peace of mind.  There is no one I can tell, and I'm even afraid of NA meetings because I'm "in the business".  Life really sucks.  I'm making a lot of "urgent care" doctor's visits, and I know I'm heading for a crash.  I started again when I had a bunch of changes, stresses and problems with my teen age daughter, no excuse, but after 4 years clean, I thought I had it made.  Ha Ha.  I really
am scared, I don't know if I can fight this thing alone, but I don't seem to have any choice.  Blessings to all of you.  Pray for me.  Can someone remind me how soon I'll feel like living again?  50-60 hours is about as far as I've made it so far.  No bad physical stuff, even only mild diarrea.  Can someone help me???????

GJ you crack me up....I think your sense of humor is coming back....even though I dont know you from adam....I think the addict in me is getting addicted to this forum now....(geez, I gotta have some crutch)hahaha

Anyway, I have started to notice things too now that my mind isn't all foggy.  I do know I can identify my feelings and actually feel them, even though I dont like them....but while using, I was just covering them up.  And, another thing I've noticed now that I'm not all foggy is there are things that people told me, things that I went and did that I dont even remember....how sad that I've missed out on the past 10 years of my life and I'm 34 now....but the good thing is....I do still have alot of life left in me, if I dont put that **** in my body and kill myself.  

I know for me, doing physical things got my natural endorphins going and that helped alot...keep yourself busy, stay active, spend time with "clean" friends and each day gets better and better....your definately out of the woods for the physical stuff....hang in there....

I'm sure I'll be off and on the computer alot to talk with my new found friends, but remember your not alone....

the benzos really help with the sweats and tremors, but you usually have to take a high enough dose that you'll need to take off work and avoid driving for a few days to pull it off.

Hey girl,

I just read what you had written....and for me, it was just easier to plan ahead 3 days I had with NOTHING to do and just get it over with....tell your dr. your addicted, but are in serious pain.  For me, trying to wean myself off didn't work...if I had them, I would take them ALL just for the high...I couldn't ever take them as directed.  I wasn't taking them any way for pain.....I am a healthy woman....just my words of encouragement....you CAN do this....I agree the DT's suck, but the hardest part IS, staying away from them and staying clean.  I have detoxed probably 10 times the past 2-1/2 years and only stayed off of them for 30 days at the most....I'm here to listen and share....your not alone....AT ALL.....those drugs are EVIL!!!

Hello all you brave detoxers...
All of you impress the living hell out of me.  I can't detox yet, because I really need the meds for pain (recent back surgery and it still hurts way more than pre-surgery). But a few weeks ago, I got so sick of my addiction that I tried to taper down. Before I started the zinc/mag combo, just the sweats and tremors that came on me after 7 hours or so where hard to bear. I am so impressed at your ability to tolerate the whole process. I worry so much that when my time comes to go off the meds entirely (and I pray that the pain will go down enough to let me do so)that I'll be unable to tolerate the discomfort. I am such a pain wimp!

I need you all to help keep me honest in the amount of meds I take for my pain, and I just want to be here for all of you while you go through withdrawals. Hell, I want to be here for all of you whether you are detoxing or not! But, there seems to be a bunch of folks here going through detox, so I wanted to write a specific post just to let you know that I am in your corner, rooting for you, and want you to know that.  Once you are through the withdrawals, they say that that is when the real work begins...I hope you all stay with us here. This forum is magickal.

lots of love, support, positive vibes and healing energy..
