withdrawl from perscription pills.

Hi my names sarah, I am 20 yrs old and have been snorting perscription pain pills for about a yr. I pretty much do just vicadine and percacet. My boyfriend got me into them at first and after a while i couldnt go without them. We split a day anywhere between 15 vic5s, 10vic 10s, 4 perc 30s.. sometimes more. Its just gotten to the point where i feel im poisoning my body and i need them more than i want to do them. I want to stop cold turkey but i want to know if there is any way of easing my discomfort. I get really tired and my whole body hurts along with this creapy crawly feeling under my skin and hot and cold flashes. And this is after just one day. I havnt done anything in about 2 and a half days and can barley function. Any helpful hints would help thank you.

You don't want to have to do these 2 days over again. Stick with it. Give yourself some time, and stay strong. Getting clean will be the best gift to yourself. And don't be too hard on yourself, taking it day by day. Hang in There.

Welcome....

Ink was right,,,,you are in the thick of things....

keep going it doesn't last forever,,,Hot baths and Aleve were the ticket for me on day 2..I just kept saying to myself,,... "it suxs now but it will be over soon and I can live free of narcotics"  or I would say to myself  "this is the price to pay for gettin high all the time..the party is over time to clean up"..

Think... every minute that passes is one more minute towards recovery,,,,,

anywaymmim  im  babbing,,,i guess I was doing anything to keep my thinking on track , music, walks,  reading recovery stuff.  whatever that is for you,,,,....

Rootin for ya

Free~..

You are halfway through the worst! If you can stick it out a few more you will start feeling better :) Imodium will be your best friend! Take a multi-vitamin & drink as much fluid as you can keep down.

if your on day 2 you should have 2-4 more days of "the worst" symptoms & then slowly feel better every day. ive detoxed twice before but relapsed due to gout flares. thats why dr. is sending me to pain mgmt. will let u all know how that goes as this will be 1st time @ pain mgmt. chris
