Ok so Ive been taking one drug or another basically since about 12yrs of age so around 25 yrs but for the past 11 yrs or so I have been taking ALOT of painkillers..I take about 1500-2000mg pr day of perks...I dont want to go to anything stronger because it actually scares the hell outta me..the WD anyways...So my question is what can I do to ease the Wd..Is there anything OTC...I do take hot baths but I just dont know whats crap online and whats not...I have never had WD this bad from anything else....:(
 
Unfortunately there is not much over the counter that is going to make a huge difference but things I've used are: 1)Kava kava, it's an all natural herb that helps with anxiety and calms ur body. U can get it in capsules at the health store or pharmacy or in a power form that u can drink. 2) Valerian root, it is also a natural root that comes in tablets (really stinky) that helps with sleep. 3) Melatonin, this works pretty well for sleep and is also all natural. 4) Bengay, muscle rub for ur aching legs. 5) Benedryl, can help with sleep but be careful bc it affects some people with a reverse affect. 6) sleepy time tea (chamomile tea) has a calming affect. 7) Imodium, helps with diarrhea. 8) tums, stomach issues. If u can get into a doctor suboxone works wonders! Good luck.
 
I'm not sure how much you are taking when you say 1500-2000mg perks a day. Are you saying you’re taking 150-200 10/325mg pills a day? (The 10mg = Oxycodone - the 325 = APAP in the pill.) That's the only way you could be taking 1500-2000mg a day of Oxycodone. Or are you adding in the APAP to equal the mg's taken a day?

You're using a whole lot of tylenol besides the oxy - I was prescribed the 10/325 but you didn't state your dosage. Ask your doctor to give you suboxone instead and you can get a new start. Get to the store now and buy some immodium. This alone will help tremendously with withdrawals. You're going to feel unsteady for some time if you've taken them 10+ years. Call your doctor for an appointment.
 
I don't even know what perks are but I know sure as shit that after abusing a drug for 11 years a fucking hot bath isn't going to get rid of the WD's!!!!
 
wait if your taking 1500 to 2000mg of tylenol a day thats not bad but if your taking that much oxycodone not only is that a dangerous amount of oxycodone you'd be taking but thats also an extremely high dose of tylenol
