Abou 2 years ago i suffered a hamstring tear and my Doctor prescribed percosets for the pain.They really helped with the pain. I kinda of enjoyed taking them! During softball try-outs I ripped my tricep off the bone. Had to do surgery and was prescribed percosets again after the surgery. Within a month my best friend died of a heart attack and I went through a tough break-up with my partner. I found the percosets help with the emotional pain I was experiencing. Finding myself looking forward to getting home and chilling with a percoset, Im realizing Im taking them for no reason at all. My dosage is maybe 1-2 325 perks a day but coming off is hell. I don't want to re-new my presrciption and weening off the dosage myself but was wondering if there are any natural remedies out there to use. I've run out and have had to go a week or two without but find myself very depressed and not living life like I should be. Any advice from anyone??
You guys I keep reading theses posts and I'm sorry to say that the gradual reduction method of detox does not work for and addict, or lets not use that word so I don't a offend anyone let's say someone reliant on pain meds unless you are in an absolute controlled setting , forget about it. They are absolutely hell, the devil in a bottle. How do I know I know from 15 years of being on them. Somebody with a reliance on pain meds does not possess the will too taper dose dealing with daily stresses of work, bills, family, husbands, wife's etc. so forth and so on. That is why we , me need that escape. Trust me I speak from experience. I came out of the hospital addicted to OxyContin after a 39 day vacation there from a streetbike accident. I can't tell you what will work for you but I can tell you what worked for me. First was coming out to my family and wife that I thought I hid so good for so many years. Second, was doing the anesthesia detox. IM TELLING YOU IT WORKS !! I tried several times to do it on my own . All failed attempts. It has a funny way of destroying a strong mans will. If I could even convey the pain I was in from my accident, 4 broken and dislocated vertebrates ,broken neck, both wrist broke, right femur, ring finger ripped completely off from the clutch lever , collar bone, fractured cheek bone and nose. Anyways guys I can go on I endured 17 surgeries. I get nothing from this other then sharing my story. The only reason I felt to post is because it seems like the only info I ever see on the net is more advertising for this then true testimony. For what took me 2 1/2 of withdrawl hell took me 7 days. If you can afford it guys it is a miracle beleive me. I'm not gonna endorse the place cause like I said I'm giving an honest opinion of my experience. Good luck !!
Extended use of opiates changes the structure of nerve cells in your brain. These cells will begin to need the drug just to function properly. But when you stop using opiates abruptly, your body will react, leading to symptoms of withdrawal.
A couple of years ago my boyfriend got me hooked. We were doing anything and everything...somas....15's...13's....x....I can remember waking up in places where I had never been ...don't know how I got there...wake up 6 hours later and not remember a thing...one time I caught him cheating on me and we were on vaca for our 1 year. I apparently ran upstairs and took the entire bag which was about 30 of a bunch of mixed percs...I don't even remember doing this but i remember waking up with my head on his lap and feeling really high, tierd,and sick to my stomach...He said I was breathing funny he couldn't get me to wake up he almost called 911 a few times....This was 3 years ago and he kept them from me so I woiuld get clean...he never got clean...But the withdrawls were terrible.....I still get temptations like crazy and if I can get ahold of them I still do...I know it sounds terrible but I miss them and it's not like I hated myself being on them I wasn't mean...I wish I could afford them...
Hello Everyone My Name Is Shane I Live In Upstate New York And I Have Been On Percocet 10's for about 6 years and every month at the end of the month like the last 2 weeks of the month I go through serious bad withdrawals, I was put on the meds due to a serious left hip surgery due to having a fracture in my femur bone that I had walked on for at least 2 years until one day when I moved up North in Malone NY where after my partner and I moved into our new home the pain just became so unbelievably BAD! I couldn't take it anymore and my partner couldn't bare to see me in that much pain anymore, So we decided that it was time to look into a doctor and find the reason to my pain. So I was referred to an Orthopedic Surgeon where they did at least 6 MRI's and a few X-rays until one day they called me to discuss what they have found, And then at that point that's when they where going to prescribe me meds that I would get every month until they find what they could do to fix my problem. The meds they put me on was Lyrica's that I would take up to 6 times a day then I would take the Percocet's 4 times a day and at night I would take a muscle relaxer as well to help me sleep because sleep at that point in time was impossible to have. After my surgery I have been going to a Pain Management Program still getting my meds till this day every month and they I have had 8 rounds of Injections of 3 different kinds of nerve blockers and none of them have worked so I stop doing them. I am at the point in my life that being 25 and on these kinds of meds I don't want to live this way anymore I want help but I don't want to go into a rehab of any kind because I love my job and I need the money to pay my bills and take care of my partner and I so all I'm asking is if there are other ways to heal and home remedies that ACTUALLY work at home and if so what are they, so if anyone knows of any please let me know thanks to everyone and anyone that can help
