Percocet help

Hey @ stuckinaloop i just read your post....and i think thats really good advice...and your absolutley right....just smoke my bud and chill....im just really scared of withdrawls...like i have posted before....i withdrew from xanax....scary shit man really scary shit...i just dont want to experience even 10 percent of that...i know they are two different drugs benzo and opiate...but just hearing that word "withdrawl" creeps me out....lyrica might be an extreme measure...Thanx again.....
 
Dude 3 weeks....... no offence but you can stop it with nothing but your brain. Smoke, get some valium or requip if you get RLS but i cant see any WD's or RLS for more than 2 Days max if any from a 3 week binge..... plus those dosages are stupid low.

I got off OXY's (200MG a day for a year) without suboxone..... it BLOWS but u can do it.

I used

Requip
Valium
Bud
and sleeping pills but i doubt youll need any bu the first 3... (once again if any)

I'd imagine the Lyrica will help a little bit.. You might need a larger dose than 100mg though. I think they even come in 250mg capsules actually.
I can imagine after going through Benzo withdrawal that the concept of any form of withdrawal will be very daunting, but try not to worry too much.
3 weeks of Opiate use won't be a walk in the park, but it won't be that bad at all :)
You'll likely experience aches, flu-like symptoms (sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes etc.) insomnia, maybe a bit of restless limb syndrome (personally, this is the worst part for me), hot/cold flushes and a bit of anxiety.

To be honest I think the fear of withdrawal will be making things worse than they actually are, so if you can, try and lose that fear (easier said than done ofcourse) and things will get much better after around a week or so :)
 
Opioid dependancy takes awhile to set in. Other than psychological distress (restlesness, anxiety, insomnia, depression) and their related physiological symptoms (high BP/pulse, fatigue, weak appetite, etc) you probably won't experience the full spectrum of opioid withdrawal syndrome symptoms.

Trying to taper would simply add more time that you have used Oxycodone daily. The low doses combined with the short time frame mean a very low chance of dependancy.

why do people post shit like this, do you not do opiates or something and just wanted to chime in and up your post count? it baffles me. The dude has taken a TOTAL OF 50 PILLS and you are telling him to get ON another opiate...a much more powerful opiate. Doesn't make too much sense does it?

Now to the OP....you will not have any side effects from going cold turkey besides the usual withdrawal symptoms which will be very minimal.

For the amount of time and dose you've been using, hands down you will feel good in 3-4 days and GREAT in a week and pretty much 100% in two weeks.

Honestly since you werent using too much and not long you will probably just loose some sleep / be shitting watery / no appetite / fucked up body temp for like 3 days then everything will just fade away over the next few days

This and Tessa's post (and others, all respect.) Just go about your day and deal with the minor chills, depression and stomach upset. The stomach upset can be cured with immodium.

One of the negative things about the internet is that we all have access to horror stories. I don't want to sound disrespectful or to minimize your symptoms, but the duration and dosage of your Perc use shouldn't even be a concern. I know you did a Xanax kick and that is serious-ass shit. Much respect. But your current kick is like a tiny flyspeck next to the immensity of what you went through with Xanax.

I've kicked a habit similar or worse to yours over and over again, at least 20 times (I'm probably older than you and my opiate career is 20+ years.) After a few kicks, from experience, I knew that I would feel cold as shit, have a runny nose, diarrhea and trouble sleeping for a few days. And a week or two to escape post-run depression.

At least 50% of a kick is psychological. And with your experience with Xanax & your access to tons of stories of hellacious opiate kicks, your mind could be magnifying your symptoms. Shit, I have an opiate career that stretches back to the 80s but reading BL and the like has made my kicks more difficult.

I don't want to sound condescending. I hope I don't. What I'm trying to say is that if you shrug it off and get exercise, sun, eat good food, and just go about your life, you'll be through the physical symptoms in a few days. Give the depression another 1 or 2 weeks to resolve, and you're done.

But do not rinse and repeat unless you want to get to know opiate w/d intimately.
 
If you managed to kick Xanax (I don't know how long you were on it), kicking these Percocets after 3 weeks at a moderate dosage should be easy. In my opinion Benzo withdrawal is much more difficult and dangerous than your current habit. I wouldn't sweat it. There is a lot of good advice in the above posts.

Just stop cold turkey if you have the will power not to buy anymore. (that's where I would have trouble, just knowing they're available makes it much harder to stop.)
 
Yes there is alot of good advice.....all you guys are awesome...thank u all for replies....actually u guys are correct these withdrawls arent nearly as bad as i thought......i slept through the whole afternoon....it feels so good to be able to sleep....i popped a lyrica...got me feeling nice...but after a while i started feeling funny....not bad but funny.....anyhow im pretty sure the lyrica has worn off and i feel good.....shit i feel great....a little hungry.....tomorrow is another day.... Idont know wheather or not to continue to take the lyrica maybe for one more day.....anyways bluelight is a life saver....u guys really put my mind at ease...moral support is very important at a time like this...and u guys have really should me love....instead of making fun of me.....for being scared of withdrawl on such small opiate intake.....
 
@ unsettled u are absolutley right.....it is tough knowin that these drugs are available with a phone call.....very tough.....actually i called my connect earlier his afternoon....and throuh some miracle he ran out of percs......i was upset and very anxious....he only had these lyricas.....so i did my research and found out that lyrica might b very helpfull in help sith opiate withdrawl....but on the othe hand i found alot of horror stories on lyrica side effects....so my mind started racing... Didnt know how to handle the possible side effects....i need to cut my connect off delete his number from my phone......thats a pretty good start....
 
Oh yeah.....i was using xanax for three weeks also about 1 to 2 milligrams a day.....but it caught up to me pretty quick.....i was going through nasty withdrawls for a month......the worst of he xanax withdrawls wAs paranoia....and i couldnt even smoke my bud...that would intensify my paranoia 100 percent....so basically i went cold turkey with my bud also for about 1 week.....keep in mind ive been smokin bud for 18 years.....so i was going through double withdrawl....it was really bAd......i guess just thinking of my past experience with wihdrawl really freaked me out.....
 
Please dont take my post as not caring or understanding. I was simply saying that you can do it and for the time and dosage the WD's should be very minimal....

As always GL and stay strong..... DONT TAPER all youll do is be like one last time one last time.... i treid to taper OXY and it went from 100mg at day to 200mg a day... HAHAHAH greats times but bad times.....

What horror stories did you read about Lyrica side effects? Most commonly its just sedation, dizziness, drowsiness, lightheaded and euphoria. I'm on Lyrica and its great for my nerve and muscle pain, insomnia and restless leg. It has helped me through benzodiazepine tapering. It does help for opiate withdrawal. I'd recommend 300mg every 8 hours. Remember it takes 1.5-2 hours to kick in. That dose may knock you out which is a good thing. It should also help for the pain in general as well muscle pain and restless leg. Also the anxiety. You don't need to worry about withdrawal from Lyrica, especially if only taken in such a short period. Good luck.
