please help..percocet predicament

[readynow81]

I am so disgusted and mentally over taking percocet. But physically it isn't that easy. Have been taking about 12-14 5/325's for about 10 months. Lesser amounts before that. Have legitimate spine issues but would rather feel that pain than feel like garbage after taking all these pills. It may not be as much as others but its more than enough for me. no easy answer, i know. but ive had enough. suggest telling pcp?

Thanks Brian.
I used to look forward to that prescription. Now I look forward to not seeing it again.  I feel 50 pounds lighter!!! I wish you lots of luck too ! This place and the members have made this so much easier on me! Thanks again. Good night.

I was a nervous wreck before I decided to fill my doctor in on everything but boy am I glad I did! It is such an amazing feeling walking out of the office knowing what you did especially compared to the feeling and thoughts that were going through my head as I was walking in!
I happy you can relate!
Congrats on working up the nerve to make one of the best decisions you could make! Your life will continue to get better and better from here on out! I'm promise!
Best of luck to you!

roSo I did it. I told my doctor everything. The good, the bad, the ugly. And I said I was done with these garbage pills! I cried a little bc it was pretty emotional, facing everything and coming clean. But I can assure you, it was the best feeling ever. I was proud of myself, I felt strong, and I was relieved. No more tempting prescription. And i have to say thetes also a shameful feeling that seems to have vanished. i know im doing what im supposed to be doing, just the right way.  It's nearly a week later and I laugh more. I'm nicer to the people i love. i wake up feeling better and better every day.  i dont think of taking pills, however I am REALIZING HOW OFTEN  I would of taken them before. Before doing any activity, I took them. It's crazy to think of. But I am just grateful I had it in me to stop. I really was liking myself less and less bc I knew I could do better, my son deserves better.  I'm starting one on one drug counseling  next week  I'm looking forward to it, believe it or not. I spend too much time sugar coating, people pleasing ,and keeping everything in. i need this. i need unedited, free speech.like ive found on here!  Have a good night everyone, and thanks for the support.

OMG!  I am so proud of you!  I can't believe your story is so similar to mine. I am on day 8 of stopping vicodin, percocet, tramadol, darvocet (whatever I could get a hold of).  The last thing I took was tramadol Oct. 27.  I did not have any more of anything so I had to stop.  I decided to do it for good this time.  Everyday, I got outside for exercise or to the gym.  I did sit-ups, took a few imodium, and drank lots of water.  Surprisingly, it wasn't that bad after the first couple of days.  The legs cramps and restlessness was bad. I have had a headache everyday but not too bad.  The anxiety and fatigued passed after the 6th day.  My appetite is fine and I feel amazing!  I too have a 2 year old that I need to be there for.  I did this all on my own.  I never told anyone, not even my husband.  Life is great without wondering where my next pill was coming from.  Just wanted to share my story and congratulate you.

I agree with Laurel.

Screw the water supply. If I've got some of my DOC on-hand, and I'm looking for a quick way to get rid of them, I have 2 choices:

1) They go into my belly
2) They go into the toilet

Hmmmm... lets see. Which one should I pick.

(For those of you that don't know me and don't know which one I'd pick... it's #2)
