Does any one know if home detox can work

Hi. I was just wanting to know if any one out there can tell if it is o.k to detox at home. People have said it can not be done but I can't be away from home I have a little boy with medical issues and I have to take care of him. The places like hospitals all seem to say one must stay for 4 weeks or more. I can not do this,also what can take that would help with the pain, headache ect, How long before one starts to feel at least SEMI ok. Please will someone tell me as I only have like 40 pills left and I do not want to refill a script.
thanks

Hi I am so glad I found this site tonight, I am also abusing Stopayne for about 6 years now, I take 16 tablets a day, every 3 hours, lately I found myself to need it after 2 hours. I started because of a lot of pain, I have fibromialgia, migraines and also early arthritus and I could not find any medication that helped me with the pain but Stopayne. The thing is now it does not really help for the pain anymore and I cant go without it. I also want to know if I can go detox from it at home?? I have a lot of physical side effects from taking it every day for so long. Will I be able to tolerate the pain withdrawal symptoms and what can you advise for me to take in its place that is safe. I am allergic to diclofenac (Panamor) so no help there. Did you take any pain meds in the detox time? Please help me for I develeped more pain and blood circulation problems by taking it for so long,  
Parts of my body go numb all the time and I have lots of twitching all over and muscle spasms. Is that normal when you abuse Stopayne?

Thanks so much for you help and I hope you will stay free of it. Also think of you Misty25.

i abused stopayne for nearly 10 years, and was taking 30/40 a day. I tapered off slowly, infact very slowly, reduce by 1.4 of a tablet a day. My doctor advised me to do it that way. You will puke, shake, ache all over like you have been hit by a budza, but it takes about a week after the  last dose to go. I unfortunatly went back on it, as soon as i could, but have been off now for 6 years. I would advise going to your Dr and telling him all about it, he will help you reduce slowly, i think that is the best way. Good luck

Is stopayne one of the over the counter codeine meds out of country?  I know the mebrobomate part is a sedative like soma i think...do u know how much codiene is in ur pills? if it is the usual 8-12 mg it will not be too bad as codeine is one of the weaker narcotics and wound take several of those pills to equal the strength of one hydro and even more to equal an oxy.....at that amount tho i would taper down and quit...go to the health pages and get the thomas recipe and the tapering article...keep posting...i see u have a script u said so it may not be otc?

It is very possible to do it at home. I have detoxed from Meth, Vic's, cocaine, and pot all at home. It takes strong will to do it but it can be done. My most recent detox was from vic's I was on for almost a year. I have a three year old and this was my first and hopefully only detox since I have had him. It was hard but he is what kept me going. I wanted to do it for myself and for him so that I could be there for him fully. The first week is the worst. If you live with a the father of your son or significant other ask them if they will help you out for the first two day. You will most likely be bed ridden then. I found that HOT baths and orange juice really helped me. The oj gives you the vitamins you will need to gain energy. The hot baths will help with the pain you will feel. Buy some vitamin b-12 and try to get up and move around when ever possible. As much as you wont want to exercise a little every day it will help the detox process go faster. Keep posting. People on here are very helpful and friendly. You will be surprised by all the support you get and all the advice. Listen to what everyone has to say it really helps. I wish you the best of luck. I am two and a half weeks sober and life is great!!!!

Hi
Thanks, I am taking from about 16 to 20 a day. I don't know if you guys know of the tab, it is called stopayne and contains codine and meprobomate.
I don't really have anyone to help me that much much with my little boy, which is why i am trying to find a way in which I won't feel so bad that I can't take care of him.

Hi, yes, it is poss. to do it at home. Some of us, including myself(day 2) going through this as we speak. look up the thomas recipe and try to see if you can come clean to someone you can trust to not be judgemental. This, may be hard to do. Timing I think is essential, and make a good plan. Also, You have to be one hundred percent commited. It is hell, let me tell you. But, you must want your life back. Good luck to you and hope you find what you are looking for. Keep posting. Good people here.

It might be best to stay on one post. We still need to know what you are using and how much and for how long. Check your other post.
And yes, many if not most have done this at home.
