I've lurked on this board for almost a year. During that year I've been in withdrawal at least a dozen times.
Back Story:
I tried percs a few times in my 20's for fun. No big deal. Loved them tho.
Got married, had 4 kids, bought a house, great career....the dream right? Life should be perfect.
At 31 I ended up with a pretty severe back problem so when they offered me percs I was SO happy.
Fast forward a year. I'm now 91 pounds....eating takes away from my high. I ran out of my prescription (of course) 10 days early. After they bump me up an extra 30 pills per 2 weeks. Anyway I tried to do a quick taper. Tried. Haha. I took 60mg of oxy yesterday. Now I have nothing. I'm sweating, diarrhea, anxiety....you know the dance. My tolerance was high. It was HIGH. I'm 5'1" and 91 pounds and can crush 250 mg of oxy like it's nothing. So tapering to 60 was impressive AND hard. I knew I'd run out :( I can't help myself. But I want to be done. Please. I'm asking for support. I'm asking for help on making this easier.....4 kids and a demanding job. Words of kindness. I'm 28 hours in. This is HELL.
 
Oh a bit more background info. From percs I jumped up to oxy 20's then 40's. My habit has been about 15 months. My detoxes have never lasted more than 2 days....but this time it's going to be at least 10 days.
 
Just sweat it out WithdrawalQueen. I know easier said than done but if you're 24 hours into detox you have made it 24 hours closer to the pain and sickness disappearing.

You may find it impossible to sleep now but given time if you hang out without using again you will eventually fall asleep and wake up all the better for it.

Good luck WithdrawalQueen and try to stay strong. .
 
Well done girl! You're at the hardest part now, stay strong :) have you discussed the use of benzo's with your Doctor to ease the transition?

Great job, know it gets better.... don't let your mind get the better of you (I know easier said than done) . We always make the worse out of any situation during wd, usally because of our mind... just think of it like this... it's like looking at the sun with binoculars, either way it's gonna suck but what do you think will suck worse....... Also it can be better to look back down the mountain at the path you already conqured than to look at what may lie ahead. Either way you wanna look at this, your feet only touch the ground in one place, and as long as the destination is the same than who cares where you may be at that particular instant. Just be proud of where you are and know you will make it to the top. And the farther up you make it the more you realise than it wasn't as steep as you made it out to be and it's totally doable. Every step is a step closer to the goal. Remember that if you fall it's much more painful going back down than what it took to get to where you are. Be proud of where you made it and where you are going...

Good luck
 
get lyricas and beznsos and you dont feel anything, use as long as you need to, but no over 1 month, I used dextroamphetamine and GHB, and it was fly I was feeling very good no wds at all, and stopped after 1 month use.
 
Hi guys. Well I've made it to 7 days. Pretty proud of myself. The only thing I'm having a major problem with is horrible anxiety. Like paralyzingly, uncontrollable anxiety. I also have zero interest or motivation to do anything. Lol and by anything I mean I couldn't even find the energy to do a sink load of dishes for 3 days straight. Does this pass? Or is this my new normal? I know there are pills to help but I'm not switching one pill for another. Nothing but vitamins in my system.

I will admit tho, I have drank a bit more than usual this past week. To calm my nerves. :(
 
Welcome to the site,

Sober living (support on it) is here. I'm sure you will find some information in there useful to you.

Good luck
 
"This too shall pass"
