I kept telling myself...YOU HAVE the FLU!  It will be over and I will feel so much better.  My brain seemed to get that and settled down a little.  It is hard, but doable!  The Thomas Recipe (bottom of the page under Health Pages will help.  I did not to the tranquilizers and had to cut back on the Ltryosine, but the rest really helped.  Imodium, Imodium, Imodium (liquid or pills if the liquid can't be found or you can't swallow it) will help.  I took double the dosage for a few days (personal choice) and it helped so much..even with the withdrawals in general and the opiate trots which sucked.  

Hydrate and eat!  Even if it is just a little every hour or so.  You have to eat something to keep your energy up as much as possible.  

If you have Restless legs..it is hit or miss what works.  Walking seemed to help me some.  Hot bath with epsom salts..a little.  I finally had to get my doctor to refill my restless legs meds (non addictive) to get some sleep.  If nothing works,your doctor might help.  

One hour at a time is all anyone can ask.  After 2 weeks it gets a little better and I started to say, One day at a time!  Your brain will do all sorts of things to get you to take a pill.  I found if I was hungry..the cravings got worse.  I would try to eat a banana, a few grapes or a few crackers to get that under control.

Good for you.  I hope all goes well.  You have made a good start coming here....this site has helped me so much!!!  Keep posting!!!!!

A lot of people taper of the medications. Decreasing their dose each day/wk. Everyone is different.  I went c/t off the perks. For me withdrawal set in 12hrs,,,,I had 1-4 days physical wd symptoms,,tummy trouble, flu symptoms, ,insomnia, ,,restless legs,,feeling like I was crawling outta my skin and sweating. The mental sets in around day 4. The Thomas recipe has helped a lot of other users. Staying hydrated as well. Imodium for tummy. I don't know the extent of your usage or why your taking them,,,that plays a role as well. You need to address the underlying issues. Hope this helps some-Bkitty

Well I take 602 543 n the perk 10 but not all together just which ever comes along I buy them from all over like every time I think about getting off somebody comes with some wholesale n I wound up buying them. I might tAke 3-4 602 in one day or like 2 perk 10 like I want to get off cuz Im only 21 n dnt want to kill the rest of my life over some pills but the other thing is I smoke weed too so after I take the perk I smoke n it makes me feel so good. But I just want to stop. I would love to find something to replace it like a girl or something but no girl is going to make me feel that good. Wat r some ways
