small victory

Im still benzo free!! (Whoo hoo) and was doing good on the opiates, dropped from 75 to 50 mcg fentanyl patch, but went on quite a disasterous binge of smoking my oxys:-( please dont ever ever do that. Today is the first day that i havent smoked a pill and i dont feel like complete ****. Maybe a few more days to stabalize b4 getting back to my taper?

Would it be horrible for your wife to know aout this?  It's an awful big deal to go through alone (and don't I know it) so I'm just wondering...

Speaking of councelors...you should find one for some one on one, face to face talk. Seeing your wife's is not a good idea, I don't think.

30 vs 10x3...Yes, the 10's will have more APAP combined so that's one thing, and then the added APAP potentiates the oxy to work a little better,and lastly, it's not unusual for folks to have wd's from quitting APAP! So, that could be why they work better for you.  OR it's your imagination!!

This has to be pretty hard; you were smoking 10 a day or more? That's really a lot, as you are feeling!  How do you keep from people noticing? You must have that fear. No?  It's probably not my business...

Let me know if the RLS things work for you. Hot baths with Epsom salts to soak with are wonderful.  I was sure I told you this...maybe I dreamt it!

Get in touch anytime. I don't want you "out there" hanging...

Im taking my oxy now as prescribed. 30mg x 3 a day. Plus the 50 mcg patch. So yes i know the road ahead is quite long. And i made it longer by smoking. I just cant believe the severity of the w/d's that im having even though im still taking everything. Thats how big a difference it is swallowing vs smoking. But also im now only taking my 3 as opposed to my bi ge when i went through alot more.  Thats y i keep saying please no one ever do it. Plus its INSTANTLY so addicting. When i do it i want another hit b4 i even exhale the last one.
I have another questiin. I have a few 10/325 left frim earlier scripts.....i get so much more relief, both from my pain and the w/d's if i take 3 of those vs 1 of my 30's. Why wud that be. I guess i understand the acitominaphan for the pain but the w/d's? Does it make the oxy absorbe into the body better or something?
Vicki thank u so much. No one in my life knows what im going through. I took one of my wife's appts for a counselor and i cudnt even be honest with her. Guess i thought maybe she would tell my wife. Thanx so much for listening.

Maybe it's me (LOL) but I'm trying to figure out when you last took oxy...oh wait.. it's been a day right?  That's rough for you but hang in there!!

Did I tell you what to take for the RLS?  You need to get Hyland's Restful Legs and take calcium,potassium, and magnesium in a capsule/tablet or buy them separately. Take it ALL. It works!

Keep drinking your fluids. The sweating is normal. What strength was the oxy?  If you could only swallow the things, I'd tell you to taper off...

Still havin terrible bouts of sweating. And the worst part for me is the combo of utter lethargy but at the same time restless leg, but its my whole body thats restless. Im so angry at myself because i took a whole weekend to do nothing.....i had on just the 50mcg fent patch and didnt take any pills for 48 hours. Even doing that floored me. Not havin my pills kicked my ***

The binge went from last thursday through saturday as it was my best friends wedding and i was the best man. I was almost late for the ceremony cause i was in a stall in the bathroom smokin n snortin. Thats kinda when i saw how f***** up i was. And then i found this wonderful group of people online. As im drivin home in terrible traffic from a very hard 12 hour day i am thinking about how good a big pull of oxy wud taste. Gotta keep busy. Cant give on

When did you go on that binge?

Yes, stabalize on the fentanyl.

How are you otherwise?

Congrats on being benzo free! Stop smoking your oxy's! You know what you need to do with that! lol!  The longer you wait to taper the harder its going to be so be vigilant to that and keep that in mind. Unfortunately feeling like sh*t is a part of the recovery process that we all have to face. Its worth it in the long run. I hope the best for you! Keep us posted((hugs))~bkitty
