Hi Greg
Just checking to see how you are doing please let us know and keep up the fight you can do this.

I am so glad I found this site. I need some advice rather help, desperately. I've lived in south Florida for over 2 yrs now and have been addicted to Roxys oxys percs. Whatever for over 2 yrs now. I've taken as much as 300 mgs 10 30 mgs daily and as little as 100 mgs daily. 10 percs. Recently I've been on about 4 slow release 80mg Roxys daily. I know when I'm withdrawing. I start to panic when I get low hoping I find someone with enough to get me through until someone has enough to last . As you can tell I don't get my own scripts. The aches and pains I have now come from my addiction. My addiction started legally. My shoulder dislocated and for whatever reason the emergency room prescribed 10 mg perc. About 30. My shoulder always used to dislocate so after the first day I was fine . Then one weekend a headache caused me to take one of the pills. Wow. That's all I can say. I felt GREAT. A few more and I was at the toilet vomitting. This should have been the end but the next day it was like I had a pill hangover or something. I took another when I got better and another. If anyone knows south Florida ,you know that pills are readily available so getting more was as easy as getting liqor when your underage . 2 years later here I am begging to get off. There's no way I can do this by calling and getting more from my "connects" , I need to go the legal route. Keeping thse people in my life will only have me calling them again next week. I want something that will keep me off these forever Im tired of waking up needing them I don't have insurance so I dont have a doctor of my own to prescribe subs. I tried rehab once and theres no way I'm going there with all those drug addicts in that neighborhood. Does anyone have any advice? What should I do. No I'm not just trying to score. Getting pills is easy. I want off them
hello help
the only thing i can even tell you is what i have been doing and as you can tell my doseage is not as high as some. I have been taprying for about 4 weeks and its slow and hard but its the only way i know how to do it if you can take as little as 100mg aday start there and start to taper each week. keep posting and iam sure others will have some help to give you. If possible get yourself a painman/Doctor to help you

Your story is very insprational. I am a mom 43 yrs of age trying to help my daughter. She is a beautiful, intelligent 22 yr old who was hooked on oxycodone 30 mg about 6x per day, she has been off of them for about 2 mths, now the Dr has got her on saboxin. We cannot seem to get the dosage right,she has night terrors,cold sweats,depression, high intense anxiety and is really scared. She now says she needs something for her RLS and axiety I feel as if we are on a merry-go round 'any advice would be greatly appreciated,fyi my funds are very tight i cannot afford to send her to one of those hotsy totsy in house detox centers.' HELP
I just wanted to drop a line of input as I have/am going through this process myself just shy of being a month clean. Man what a a f'ed up month it has been too.. W/d's are horrible but they do get better. The first week is the absolute worst of it, regardless of what you were taking/how much; I was taking like at least 150mg for almost 2yrs and although I think that the amount has a direct effect on the intensity of your w/d I don't think it plays much part in the longevity of it. I've never been much of a fan of benzos but in this case they will be your best friend. I also smoke marijuana pretty regularly and it helped me to ease the mental insanity for a few hours, and when combined with benzo your looking at a good 4hour sleep and in w/d that is gold. Don't replace your opiate habit for a benzo habit though, trust me on that one. Only use benzo for first 4-5 days then just man up and take the ride you bought the ticket for. Take as many hot baths as you can (showers as well), the hot water and air will make your muscles feel at ease and help your runny nose. I found netflix to be good company during this time as well, watching shows like 'Lost' will concentrate your mind on things other than killing your neighbor and selling their kidneys for oxys. The thing is, you need to enter the experience with a positive 'can do' attitude or you will fail. Tapering works for some but wasn't for me because it makes you w/d a little bit for a long period, cold turkey may be intense but every second your not ingesting an opiate is a step towards the goal. I lost too much in my life because of those little pills, don't want to see anyone suffer like I did. If you somehow step on this thread and read my post because you know things aren't good anymore, the daily grind of finding something is getting more desperate, you know what its like.. If you want it in your heart, go for it. The human body can handle opiate withdrawal without real danger, generally (see your doc if you have serious medical conditions). Looking back on what I call "My week visit with satan", Fear was what got to me the most, the unknowing of when or what will stop and when, the delirium from being awake 24+ hrs get to you, and believe me your brain will be constantly reminding you that if you go and score another this will all stop and go away within seconds. Suboxone and methadone, just like stopping whiskey and picking up vodka. DONT GIVE UP! YOU CAN AND WILL DO IT! You just need to believe in yourself and get through it, it's almost like a spiritual journey that you'll never want to revisit. If you get through the w/d's dont jump right back on the wagon because your going back to square 1. Dealing with PAWS is a little shifty but as long as you have any real willpower you control your own destiny It's like an exponential graph, your progress will be slow and unnoticeable at first and that's why most people give up but if you can manage to hold on you'll see... everyone is different and I have heard the horror stories about 2 month withdrawals but dont let the fear of what could be hold you back. If I can do it, believe me when I say anyone can.. You just have to want it.

Wow Billy......I hope ya read this because you give me HOPE!!! I too was addicted to lortabs and also a 6yr xanax problem.....I came off those cold turkey and am now trying to detox off of the pain pills.....I'm happier now w/my life and it seems somewhat easier.....however the chills and flu symptoms have already hit me and I'm barely thru 2 days. It SUCKS and I would not wish it on ANYONE!!! It robs you of everything before ya know it....I've been through hell and back and it's terrible that a pill can control your life. I'm gonna get on Benadryl, drink water, Immodium and Prilosec for my stomach, and I'm on a growth hormone injection which has helped me OFF the xanax calms me down SO much. I'm ADD and was running wide open w/no sleep....if I can kick the xanax I CAN kick these too. I have Lupus and Fibro which is how it ALL began.....UGGGH!! Thanks for your post!! :)
