i have been taking pain pills of all kinds for about 5 years ...never thought nothing of it ..till the other day i stopped and after three days i knew now i was a total addict i relapsed that night and now im on two days clean ...i dont know anything about time and how long it lasts but this is the hardest thing i ever dealt with ...the pains in my head and stomach are unreal and the mental side affects are even worse ...i twitch all night i cant sleep well ...i throw up or gag alot i have a constant headache that wont go away... i read some peoples stories and ...we all sound the same ...i just hope i can make it ....it all started becouse i got hurt at work and then it was just so easy to get the pills from dr ...monthly and then i realised i was taking them in a week (120)vic 7.5  and my friends started taking them and then it moved to perc 10s then oc10 0c40 ...it spiralled down from there ...this is going to be a long road ...i already lost my wife ,kids,and anything that mattered so i cant do it for them ..it has to be for me now

I had a lot of vision problems too. Don't drive if u don't think u can. Mine was on/off 2 days, it does pass. Anyone at all to help you? Alone is tough, but doable. I did. If you can't get out, walk as much as possible. Drink all the water juices gatorade u can. Hot hot baths w epson salts if possible. Bananas, b complex, nulti vit. All inn the recipes. Hang in man, its not easy but so worth it. Keep posting and stay tough..

If you continue to feel dizzy and your eyes are messed up make sure you see your doctor.  I had vertigo many times while i was using.  Take care of yourself and congrats on getting clean!!  You can do it~~~~sara

thanks and not really alone i have some friends who are sympathetic and i asked them to cut me off and they have ...also a friend who kicked heroin is talking to me on face book helping me out so i cant really say ALONE ..tonight and this weekend are going to be hard i get my kids for the night and its my weekend for them and i hope i can hide my sickness till they go home on sunday ...this is a true test of my strength

Make damn sure your sympathetic friends don't let you use. I found out the hard way (5 times) how sympathetic they can be when you got cash. If you have someone local, do try and get the recipes. Your body needs this stuff so bad. TRY to eat something, crackers, bran flakes, bananas. Easy on the guts.

With your kids this weekend will be tough, no question. Blame the flu, that's the best cover. You can make it, keep posting and keep grinding. It is so worth it.

Using the flu is a common ruse yes, but there in lies the rub. If he has the flu the ex won't want the kids to catch it therefore he's not gonna get to see them.
Though giving up one weekend with them to get past this would be so worth it in the long run.

Evillash: Swflafun has offered some great advice, get as many of those supplements and fluids as you can. It will make a big difference in the severity of the withdrawals. You can do it, we're all pulling for you.
