My story....I have taken percs pretty much for about 15 years...not all of those addicted. I originally started taking them for migraines, along with a shot of toridol- the only thing that worked for me. I was ok, didn't abuse them at all. My migraines got worse, more frequent. One day, I was getting a migraine, as well as being overwhelmed and frustrated because my son had gotten in a fight at school...I took 1 extra 5/325, and wow......so, I guess that's where my abuse started. Still, I only used them in frequently and mostly for migraines. Then, I broke my ankle.....that's when it started. I withdrew from them in 2013, but tore my rotator cuff and was back on it...3 years and thousands of dollars later...I'm withdrawing again. I watched Aaron Cohen's video and thought...is he crazy? 20 Immodium? I'm sitting here on Day 3, when I am normally crying on my floor trying to stretch out my back and hips rocking in a fetal position, and yet...I feel ok. Not GREAT mind you...after all, I had been taking 100-130 mgs. Day 1, I had no idea of this method, and I went through the sweats, the horrible leg and back pain, the jerks...ugh...Day 2, I found Aaron Cohen's recipe, and decided to give it a try...I first tried 10 Lopes, nada...up'd it to 15, still nada...I took 2 more, a Xanax, and tylenol, and slept through the night...Woke up at 9! I still hurt, but not near as bad as I should. I took 15 Lopes this morning, again, still in discomfort, but not the, "I want to die or just give me a pill" pain that I should be in. This works...I can't believe it....Don't expect to feel 100%, but it will definitely take away the extreme pain! Thank you...looking forward to being totally clean...back to the REAL me!

Adding to my last post...Day 4, woke up with less pain, took 10 Lopes for today...I do want to add a warning to the Loperamide: be very careful with this medication, it can cause heart arrhythmia which can lead to heart failure if you take too much...please be very careful!

Please order some liposomal vitamin c. You can get it on Amazon for about $40 delivered overnight. I took 30 per day..1000mg each.... look up mega dosing vitamin c for opiate withdrawal. It will help tremendously. Add 10 - 15 imodium and a couple tagamet. You will have a couple days of feeling mild flu but after that it gets easier everyday. Taper off the C and imodium gradually over a couple weeks. I did it easier and waaay cheaper than rehab....best of luck to you. Be strong and don't be down on yourself.....

DO NOT LET ANY DOCTOR PUT YOU ON SUBOXONE. IT'S JUST ANOTHER DRUG TO GET YOU HOOKED ON. IT'S BS.
LOOK UP OPIATE DETOX WITH LIPOSOMAL VITAMIN C. GET THE CAPSULES. I don't sell it. I only tell you because it WORKS!! doctors do not promote this because they want to sell you another drug. DO NOT FALL FOR IT!!!

Ok, trying to reply to all, but I guess I have to do them individually. Yes, I'm clean. On Day 5, I went and cleaned windows in a huge house, it was a little difficult, but I made it. Day 7 I cleaned a house. My energy is low, but I'm still taking 4-6 Lepo(Imodium) in the morning. I never took more than 1 dose per day of the Imodium, even Day 2 when I took 20 of them, it was just the one time. I need to add some Vitamin B. Thank you for the suggestion of the Vitamin C with Liposomes. I really don't have any urge to use... I used mainly for pain relief, not to get high, so I'm not really fighting with that demon. I am still taking 1 Xanax at night to help me sleep as well. I know I would have been horribly miserable if I had done this without the Imodium. Please do be careful if you use it though, it CAN cause heart arrhythmia. I appreciate this thread, it was really my go to! Thank you to all of you who post here!

Thank you! I really do appreciate it! I'm on Day 9 now. Just dealing with a little back pain, and low energy. I'm going to add a B-Complex to my routine, and will look up the Liposomal Vitamin C. Now, I just have to get my body back in shape. I gained 30 lbs over the last few years from being on them! Ugh.

Ok, Day 10...PAWS sucks....I'm weak, depressed, unmotivated....I just ordered some DLPA to help...

Day 11, I guess I'm not in PAWS yet, that doesn't happen until it's been about a month...but I feel so weak, shaky, and unmotivated. I slept literally all day today. I'm hoping the DLPA will help with this, it is due to arrive on 7/7. I will let you all know!

Please be careful with Lope. It was my experience that yes it does help with many withdrawal symptoms including pain, sweats, anxiety, insomnia with the exception of euphoria. I haven't found that yet, even a bit; however, at 140mgs I ended up in the emergency room. I passed out and woke up heading to the emergency room. My blood pressure was 68 over something much lower. I was pretty much out of it and nurse said I stopped breathing a few times. I never told them what I was on, but be mindful. I will not go so far as to say this is a bad tool to get off herion. I just thought with my addict mind oh is 50 pills makes me a little sick to my stomach, but calm imagine what 60 or 70 will do. There is also evidence that it does "build" up in your system. If you take enough you are very sensitive to light or vomiting, do not go that high again. If you have to lie down or need to sit because moving makes you dizzy or pass out, go to the hospital (or at least find a sitter.) Just be super careful.

Yes, but watch the dose seriously. Just left the hospital last week.

I've been taking hydrocodone for 4 years. After I had my son I got a script. The. I had wisdom teeth pulled x2 scripts. Then had somebody tell me they can get some. So I started buying them of the street. Over the past month my dose has got to 40mg a day. Which is 4 pills a day. I got tired of it taking all our money. I felt like I was robbing my family. We was broke 90% of time after bills and my addiction. But I was scared to quite. As crazy as it sounds I was scared I couldn't me a mom with out them. That's what got me threw the day. I've been on them since my son was born. So that's all I knew. But deep down guilt was eatting me alive. So I went to the Internet to find ways to get of. Came across lopemide. So I went that route. Today is my 3rd day without and today is almost over. I started out with 15 pills of lopemide 30mg. Yesterday I took 10 pills, 20 mg. Today I took 5 which is 10mg. Before I took them today though I took magnesium citrate followed by a glass of Water so I wouldn't get clogged up. I had the runs till I took the 5 imodiums. I have felt pretty good. All 3 days. Sluggish weak but that's all. Tomorrow I plan on takin nothing. I'm worried I'll have withdrawals from the Imodium. But I think I'll do okay. After all I went most of the day without taking anything today. Then broke down around 4 and took them. I have no plans to ever take them again scared of what withdrawals will be like from them after I seen that were horrid. I don't want to replace one habit for another. And I believe Imodium is more harmful in long period.
