You CANNOT, I repeat CANNOT die from opiate withdrawal. You'll feel like your dying and you'll wish you were dead, but you can't die.

I am in a very similar situation at the moment! I have had 5 surgeries over the last few months; and before that I had multiple surgeries In the last year; total of 8 in 12 months. I have been on Percocet every time, and with having to have wounds packed with gauze on a daily basis I found myself using Percocet more and more. I have gone through over 450 in the last seven weeks; all prescribed. I am down to my last 4 tablets now, and there is no way that the doctor is going to give me more(I have no family doctor, it's always through the emergency room) just in the last 4 days I have gone through 50 tablets. I am in a panic now, because I know what is going to happen when I stop.... I don't even know how I am going to be able to do this, so I am very grateful for this site with support! I have come off percpcet many times In the past, but this time is soo much worse! They really have a good grip on me. I'm worried about the withdrawal, and what may happen when I run out which in all honesty will probably be tomorrow morning! Any support would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
S

I'm curious if you have managed to succeed. Your story is so similar to mine. I am allergic to Lyrica so I started on liquid morphine to OxyContin. I am currently taking oxycodone 15mg. I want to stop taking it. I know I am dependent on it. I started having irritability and paranoia. I decided to try on my own so I started just taking one a day and just this past week I am cutting them in half. How long will it take me to get off this way?

I am so sorry for you. I hope you are still with us. I see my pain doctor tomorrow. All they do is fill out a prescription and you are on your way. I am going to tell them I want off this c**p. My husband is just about as sick of as I am. Please keep trying and stay alive.

bambi27.....We all start using these drugs because of uncontrollable pain. So how is your pain after weaning off the opiates?

Reply to Stevens -- I just read your message (Dec. 16, 2014). Since it was written 4 months ago, it's obvious the immediate problem when you wrote (down to your last 4 pills and had an addiction requirement of about 10 or more per day, with no idea how to get a refill) was a huge one.
Man, I hope what my first thought was wasn't the way you wound up going. The desperation in your writing had me thinking you would attempt to turn to heroin at least for the short haul.
Either way, I'm really interested in knowing how you are now and if you are on a plan for recovery of some sort. I hope you were able to find a path out in what read as a very desperate moment in your life.

Hi guys and girls, I really need your thoughts!!! I started OxyContin and oxycodone about s year ago now, but I really am very angry as the pain management consultant who put me on this did NOT EXPLAIN these horrendous drugs very well! I too want to find if my back pain has decreased. I have a really high tolerance to drugs where morpihine does not help me at all until IT knocks me out completely. I HATE, HATE, HATE the side effects, the sweats, the runny eyes, the nightmare it created if you miss a tablet, sleep disturbances, tiredness and horrendous mood swings! I HATE with a passion these bloody drugs but I'm scared of the withdrawal symptoms. I don't feel like I'm addicted but how would I know??? I just take what I'm prescribed! I know having missed a few of the long acting ones in the past having fallen asleep before my dose was due but woken up in a restless sweaty mess! And I want off of this rollercoaster and my life back!!! The worst thing for me is not being able to enjoy a drink!!! I'm violently sick for 3 days after with a side helping of the poops. I'm sick of it. I don't want to be branded an addict!
Clare.
