New to forums, struggling with percocet withdrawl

[mermaidxo]

Hey everyone! I really love these forums and they've been really helpful to me. I've been lurking for awhile, but I've finally actually made an account. I'm 16 and from Birmingham, Alabama. I love meeting new people, so don't be shy! If you start a conversation about Weeds or Nurse Jackie, I'll love you. My music taste is very broad. I love everything from Lil' Wayne to The Ramones. I would like to move by the beach for college, it's so calming. That's about all I can think of, but don't be shy, introduce yourself!


Unfortunately, I'm going through horrible withdrawls from Percocet and have no idea what to do to get some relief. I'm not abusing it, although I do really enjoy the euphoric feeling I get from them. I have a bone condition where I break bones very easily (I've broken my femurs about 40 times) and have extreme bursitis and joint issues. I can't get my script filled til' Sunday because of insurance complications. If anyone can help with suggestions to ease the insomnia, fever/chills, restlessness, etc. I would be so grateful if you would message me. I've gone through withdrawls from Lortab, Codine and Morphine(very short term use in the hospital after surgery), but they've never been like this.

Welcome to Bluelight! You cannot Private Message yet (except for with moderators) so you are going to have to post about it in threads.

The Other Drugs forum has a lot of information about withdrawal coping techniques. It also has The Opiate Withdrawal Megathread and FAQ.

The Dark Side is a great forum if you are looking for support while quitting.

Hope that helps!

Yeah I love how Nurse Jackie shows another side of opiate addiction, the side where we work good jobs and do our jobs better while under the influence.

Anyways good to have you as a new member!

You can take Immodium for the physical symptoms and let an on-call doctor know that you ran out a few days early and have them call you in some Catapress (clonidine) for better relief of the physical symptoms.

Alot of addicts use Kratom or Poppy Pod tea as a bridge when they don't have anything else (not that you are an addict, just dependent)

Also, many states still sell Robitussin A.C. over the counter,so you could conceivably hit up several drugstores for like 4-6 bottles (don't drink it all at once, the other ingredients will make you sick)


I can usually fill my script up to 3 days early, as long as i don't do it a bunch of months in a row. If your refill day is Sunday you will certainly be able to get it tomorrow (Saturday)
