High Dose Long Term 600MG A Day Opiod Withdrawal, With Xanax, Soma & Ambian.

[Pioneerhs]

Sorry if this is in the wrong place. If I read the whole book of rules and followed the whole site that alone may have taken long enough to have felt better! I need Help faster than that. Confusing for a newbie!)

I was taking 600 MG Of Oxycodone a day for 8 years! Along With 2,100 MG Of Soma To Bump The Power Of The Oxy, 4 MG Of Xanax (Sleep), 8Mg Long Lasting Ambian (Sleep).

My Question is its been two weeks since I have had any Oxycodone. Using a program somewhere on a forum about taking VERY Small amounts of Suboxone. I Haven’t taken any Oxy But I’m still taking the Xanax & Ambian (But Short Term). Does anyone have any advice on this high of dose?

I Stopped taking the Suboxone but just since Saturday. I Feel better but not good if you know what I mean?

I Have No Energy! I feel Like I Weigh 300 Pounds more that I do. I Just can’t seem to want to pick my body up ! Is this normal after 2 weeks?

I know this goes against everything I have every read on these boards, BUT I really think its a great physical addiction rather than a mental one. I have full bottles of oxy 30mgs (320) & OxyContin 60mgs (120) Sitting right next to me as a reminder that its there, Trying to verify that its just physical.

I have no urge to take any oxy but I would love to find something that would take the misery away.

Has anyone dealt with these high of doses for this long a period with multiple drugs? When can I Start to stop the Xanax & ambian without going crazy? I have heard its bad to quit everything together.

So I’m trying to get the oxy knocked out so I know what is causing what problems. Does anyone know how long Before I should expect to feel better from just the oxy/Suboxone?

I was taking only .5 mg of Suboxone 2 X Per day until Saturday. It helped but I want to be DONE With opiods!
……. Well all of it really.

If anyone has dealt with coming off multiple meds Please tell me what I should expect to feel like. Times frames & When I should start quitting the Xanax?

I’m already 15 days into no Oxy No Soma 2 days off Suboxone (Which helped a lot BTW) But I Don’t want to be physically addicted to ANYTHING ANYMORE!!!

Actually I’m pretty pissed at how long I allowed myself to be addicted to this shit!!

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Pioneerhs,
Sorry that you are feeling so awful, I don't have personal experience with all your questions but I can tell you what I have experienced with my oxy withdrawl, I took 240 oxy a day for over 10 yrs. I am just over a month of going CT and I still struggle for energy but I do find if I just get up and do what I need to it generally gives me energy. I know exactly what you mean when you say you feel like 300lbs it does get better give your self another week or two and honestly each week gets slightly better. Two weeks is a great accomplishment and I imagine you are through the worst of the symptoms. May I suggest you get rid of your extra oxy laying around, with lack of sleep, fatigue and generally not feeling good for weeks it really wears the body and mind down. Even if you have the best of intentions. I also was mad at myself for being on it for so long I had a real determination to get off but I have to admit there were a couple days I just wanted energy and feel good that if I had any it would have been a big struggle not to take some. I hope this helps some. I'm sure others will reply that have more knowledge than myself. Take care you are doing awesome

Thank you Very much for your replyThats a pretty high dose and a long time. Good job CT I am still taking xanax nightly for sleep. (Which is getting shorter & shorter). It’s probably is a good idea to get rid of the easy fix. I’m surprised their isn’t a medication thats not an opiod med (Suboxone) that gives energy. Vitamins & OR Red Bull type things seem to give energy but increase the restless leg. How long before the restless leg goes away do you think? Do you still have it after a month?

Thanks In Advance

Hey Pioneerhs,
I also really struggled with the rls it was so bad I kicked my bed for hours straight. I stayed away from stimulants like caffeine and sugar completely and right around 3 weeks it just kinda stopped. I also read online if you wear compression socks (like for running) it can help with the rls. Tbh I did try them one night and it did work and my rls kinda got better from that night onwards but who knows if it was the timing or the socks? It's up to you about your Xanax do what works for you. I decided when I started this I really didn't want to add anymore meds to my system for sleep etc and I am sleeping pretty good now about 8 hrs a night. I would just try to stick with your vitamins and c how that works for you. You are doing awesome!! I know this sucks and it's tough but you r strong and can do this!! Hang in there it only gets better

It’s getting better in the day time its the nights that are so bad I have to take a VERY HOT Bath or soak them in the Jaccuzi. That helps long enough to get to sleep. I just then kick my wife all night! She’s login that!

Are you taking any special vitamins?

Hey Pioneerhs
That is great it's getting better! I too had the worst time at night for the first 3 weeks or so I suggest u do as much movement during the day (eventually do some exercising) really try n push yourself (I know it's probably the last thing u want to do) but it will help tons with your sleep n rls (try n go for some walks outside) our jacuzzi tub really helped me too. My husband slept in the spare bedroom through the worst of it too lol I am just taking a complex B vitamin and a multi vitamin but I know there are suggestions of other vitamins in other oxy threads. Keep on pushing through u r doing such a great job!!

First I'd get off the opiates as slowly as possible as not to set you back into using. When I quit suboxone I kept getting stomach aches that just made me say fuck it and use them again, it was very hard to eat. I was also on benzos but I took care of the benzo issue after the suboxone. I kept cutting back on the klonopin (1mg 3x a day) to 1mg klonopin and .25mg of xanax. Then I started switching it up daily between the two, and eventually I'm left with a .25mg xanax habit that is easy enough to stop. You need to look at your issues separately (each addiction) and then follow a course of action for both. Your main concern should be understanding the benzos will do you some help after quitting the opiates (with the stomach and muscle pains) so it's best to do that second. After this you simply find a weening plain you're comfortable with. If you need any pointers please PM me I'd be glad to help.

Good luck OP

Thanks Sosick!
You keep pushing through Too! I need energy but the red bull is supposed to be really bad on symptoms. I have been taking small sips anyway. I tried the exercise. Not much for that but even getting outside helps. Really doing anything but siting/Standing around. BUT I find that every Movement has to be a deliberate mental decision to do it!

My sleep went from up at 10:30Am to up at the best 6:am sometimes asleep at 11m up at 2:30 for THE DAY! How has your sleep been?

I See why it’s hard now but I am Never Going Back! Did I Sign A Waiver For This Shit I Wonder? I know for sure that the treatment was worse than the original pain.

Stay Strong! Stay Clean! & Let me know when you feel Normal again!

Thanks!

stay strong pioneerhs,the rls was the last thing to go for me when i quite befor. im currently kicking a 350mg oxy habbit in a single dose once a day as we speak. i have been using loperimide and it helps my rls a lot not just stomach issues along with benadryl and xanax combined for sleep (not sayin its the best course of action) but just know that it gets better. your energy will come back but i have found it can come back with a vengence and it can make you feel like you are ADHD or somthing it took me a month befor i could just sit still i had to be moving all the time so dont be supprised if you start to feel overstimulated at times. just know u r doing great!

I noticed the two times I have quit for appreciable amounts of time, when the acute withdrawal was first gone I had all this body energy, which I was associating with the RLS of withdrawal. But in reality it was just the normal energy I have that had been blocked, and I just needed to channel it. Then soon I grew to love how it felt again, like I always did before.

Hey Pioneerhs
That's so great u r hanging in there!!! Honestly it gets better!! I found at around 3-4 weeks I really had to push myself to do things, wheather I wanted to or not, but the more I did the more energy I got and the more enjoyable the task became. Even now if my back is sore and I don't do much during day my sleep is very broken up and I tend to watch the clock. I also had many days of no sleep or 1-3 hours and if I was woken to anything forget going back to sleep. My turning point for sleep was when I became more active during the day and I wouldn't allow for any daytime napping. . Were you taking oxy for pain management ? If so do u still have pain? You are doing amazing only your future to look forward to ?
