So I'm day 5 ct from an oxy 30s habit. I'm struggling oh yeah and I'm 6 months pregnant. I refuse to be put on anything like meths or subs. Just need support and prayer and when can I expect to feel any better.
Me again morning day six... so yesterday was my first day back to work and wow it was tough the no energy thing really is hard. On the plus side I did manage to get a little bit of sleep last night I woke this morning and feel almost human again. Is anyone out there? Looking for advice I guess from someone who's been there I also have a 3 year old and I just need some hope for when I can expect to feel any sort of normalcy and energy again?
It took me a few weeks to get a decent energy level back. Keep up with vitamins (a lot of C and B12) and try to eat as healthy as you can.
Hang in there, it does get better!
Thanks, today is day 14 and I seem to have good days and rough days. Yesterday was awful my mind was really messing with me and telling me just one just one it'll be OK and I really had to fight to not give in. So today I'm glad I toughed it out and didn't give in. Energy still in short supply but I do get little bursts. Just had another ultrasound and my little girl is right on track and doing well so im very happy to know that all is well and I just have to stay strong.
Hey y'all.
I've been on 4 10/325 hydro for now on ten years for fibromyalgia and bulging discs in my back. I can never seem to make them last the full script, usually come up 6-8 days short. Let me tell ya, those are the worst. I think I'm gonna ask my Dr to wean me down and put me on the 7/7.5 then next month the 5/500 then taper down all together. I don't kno if the pain I'm feeling is fibro pain anymore or a want for more hydro and I hate not having that control over myself... But I will try this route and see how I deal! Thanx for listening!
I just want to punch u all in the face ha ha no but seriously do want to shoot myself do not recomend anybody to ever take the first oxy anything period... u dont know how to live with it until u cant live without it I found allot of helpfull tipps on here thank u glorry be to god and im gojng to try to get some sleep now lol dought thats going to happen hmfl
I am 67 year old and complely understand as I have had a similar problem with methadone and now hydracodone. Life sucks when something else controls your life and I am also strong and quit cold turkey. It was the pits and I did not regret my withdrawal. It took a little longer as I had been on the methadones for 12 years and yiiks it was not fun. But like you I hated being controled by a pill. For me it was not the end as severe arthritis and fibromyagia has me still a great deal of pain. I waited a long time to see if the pain was real or withdrawal before (like a coward) I went back to my doctor and begged for something less addictive. So now I take 3 a day hydradone. It does not take all of the pain away but does make it more tolerable. I can handle it until the life in me is gone about 20 more years I hope. You are doing the right thing. Keep up your attitude and when it is over re-evalutate your real pain level. Wait a couple of weeks or longer before going back to the doctor. There are some non-opiate type meds that he can give that might do the trick. Like Piraxicam or meloxicam.(a form of Felden). Good luck my heart is with you. God Bless you and our dirty little secrets.
Georgia, I Don't Know If You Are Still Part Of This Thread But I Just Want You To Know You Have Been An Inspiration To Me In So Many Ways. I Am Currently On Day 6 Of Tramadol Withdrawal And While I've Been Maintaining Well With Kratom I'm Still Struggling. The Physical symptoms Are All Gone, Now I'm Just Dealing With The Mental. How Did You Persevere?
trust when i say loperamide has saved me many times.Zantac or omeprazole about 3 x dosage and say 50-100 mgs lope and i can function.Which is saying alot when i have been off and mostly on opiates for 20 years.No runs no cramps,what a difference.dont believe it?I didnt either but keep in mind my tolerance is VERY high so others may vary.But please if you are hurtin big time why not try it.lasts hours ,remember to reload the lope with not as many mgs. Good luck sincerely.
Hi MegDue, music, reading, anything that kept me busy. Then time. The longer you go the better it gets. Hang tough!
I have been in law enforcement for 18yrs, started young, I'm now 40 and in the the last five years I have had five knee surgeries ( all on the same knee) and and a protruding disk in my back (L5) I guess chasing down and tackling people didn't do me any good! So know I find my self retired at the age of 40 (actually retired 4yrs ago) and have slowly worked my way up to 30mg roxycodone 4x a day because there are no surgeries left to try except knee replacement which they won't do because of my age. So know I find myself hooked on these pills and wanting to get off.
The thought of getting up in the morning and having to talk a pill so I don't feel sick really bothers me. I've tried tapering, cold turkey, nothing worked. These pills are the worst thing anyone can start using, they suck the life out of you and turn you into someone your not, but when your on them hey, everything thing is awesome and nothing can go wrong, unless you run out of course! It's sad when 180 30mg a month isn't enough and you find yourself looking to by from friends or friends of friends, that's when you know you have a problem. I'm sorry if I'm ranting as I'm on day two of cold turkey and those if you who know, know it sucks. I'm actually writing this two hours after taking 4 klonopin's and not feeling tired at all, that should show you how bad it is, 2 of those on a regular night and within a half hour I'm out for 12hrs.
My hope Is to be free if this disease soon and back to a regular life, I would much rather deal with knee pain then with withdrawals . My point is only thing that bells is time, it sucks but it's true, I've tried it all. Supplements,the Thomas recipe, the only thing is time.
Here's to hoping the third time is the charm!
Hello, I know you posted this over a year ago but I am going through the exact same thing today, now. I have been watching TV shows all day, haven't left the house. I am on day 2 of withdraws from percs. Just wanted to say thanks for posting and I hope you're doing well. My bf has no idea what I'm going through I told him I was on my period lol I'm glad you had someone to lean on.
Hang in there! You are stronger than you think!
Was wondering how you are doing James?
Not good, not good at all!
