I hate to say it because so many suffer with that,  but I had more of a problem staying awake than sleeping lol! By 11 days I was able to cook the evening meal and clean up the kitchen all in one shot without resting every 5 minutes. By 30 days smooth sailing for the most part. Being on this site getting support and encouragement had a lot to do with that. I detoxed while working and being mom and no one in the house even noticed! So wrapped in their own stuff I guess.  You know its kinda like having the flu and it surely does pass. After that first few weeks it went very fast!

Lots of people have done it and you will surely meet them here. Basically I knew for a long time it had to stop then my supply went dry and by the time pills were around again I was on day 20! I said no. No thank you. I must tell you it was the best thing that I ever did for myself.  I went to work from day 3 on. Just keep pushing.  Not easy but very worth it!

Yes girl I detoxed off percocet 10s, 8 or so a day almost 8 months ago. I remember feeling exactly like you do. It just seemed so impossible.  But I went cold turkey and never looked back. I was on them 5 years! The first week is uncomfortable but not impossible.  If you can get a few days off that would be ideal. There are supplements and supplies you can get to help ease things like the stomach issues.  And being on the site here with all this support really saved my life!
