What should I buy to help reduce withdrawal symptoms

[butchyboy]

Hi my names Butch I’m 21 years old this is my first time posting on the internet, I’ve been reading the comments on this site for a while now and it has given me the strength to decide to stop cold turkey at home.
I’ve been using Percocet, and Vicodin for about a year taking 5 to 7 10mg pills a day, in the past 3 months I’ve tried quitting by tapering the amount but since I had them on me I took whenever I felt like it. I tried switching to Tramedal for a week so I wouldn’t have to deal with withdrawals but ended up taking all of them in a short period of time and went back to my usual.
Now I know the time of withdraw is upon me, I’m looking for advice on what to buy to help reduce the w/d symptoms, and reassurance that I’m not in any life threatening danger by stopping cold turkey.  Another concern of mine is depression and how bad it hits you when you quit.
I’ve got 5 pills left and counting down.
Thank You everyone in advance for any response.

Good Luck, I am in the same boat I am too weak to quit cold turkey I am just trying to taper off anf then eventually quit. Maybe I am being foolish but i gotta try it. Good Luck and If you need to talk I am here.

Thank You all for your comments and encouragement. I went out and bought a huge bag of Epsom salt, vitamins B6, and C, a multi mineral vitamin that has Calcium Iron Lodine Magnesium Zinc Selenium Copper Manganese Chromium Sodium and potassium all in one pill, L-Tyrosine, and L-Theanine. I hope it’s worth its Weight in gold.
I have one pill left I’m going out with some friends which will probably be my last breath of fresh air for a while. I will keep this page open on my computer at all times for support and I’ll keep posting.

I wish you good luck too. For me tapering was a fool’s run effort, I felt some withdrawals but always ended up back to my usual, So for me going cold turkey was the easer decision, yet I read on this forum a lot of people’s successes with this method, give it a shot it worth trying. BE STRONG.

My name is Christin and I am 28 yrs old. I am married and have 4 kids. I took my last two pills today. I to am trying to get off pain killers. I am now up to 70 milligrams twice a day and some times 20-30 mg in between. I am so affraid that I am going to hurt myself or my kids while I am on them. I also hate that my days are a fog. I owe my kids and husband a much better life then this. It's so hard though because I have been hiding this from my husband for years now. I feel so alone...I am going to do this I have got myself off before and I just have to keep in mind that I am strong enough to do it. I have read what yall have said to take and I am going out to get it. I hate the leg cramps and the anxiety. I will do this..."What does not kill me will only make me stronger". I also keep telling myself "This to shall pass". Please be praying for me I could use it right now!
