Hi all, Newbie here 8) Been on a few times reading posts, advise, etc & finally now decided to join. This is the only place I feel like I'll even have the opportunity to talk about what's goin on w/ me, and possibly get some help...
 
Hi Shell34,
Welcome aboard!
I came here for help a year ago and am grateful. There is a plethora of experience and knowledge available on Bluelight! Great to have you here. Please feel free to ask me any questions :)
 
Thank you so much for the warm welcome. - I'm trying to find answers on how to stop taking Oxy. I've read hundreds of threads, several different web sites, etc. trying to gain as much knowledge as possible. I've tried weaning myself off alone 4+ times w/ no success. I get violently ill and can't function at all. I'm a single mom of two great kids and have a full time job. Have no support system, family, or otherwise, to help me, so pausing my life (work & parenting) to pull through the sickness isn't an option for me unfortunately. I've read that the sickness lasts about 10 days, but I've also read it lasts a couple/few months? I've only been able to make it 5 days before I've caved an went back to the pills so I could function, get back to work an my life. I'm scared an frustrated right now.. Been contemplating telling my dr but I absolutely don't want to be red flagged. Any thoughts, ideas, or help would be very greatly appreciated.
 
Hi, Thank you for sharing. I went through it myself. How much oxy are you taking a day and for how long?

Here is the The Opioid Withdrawal Megathread and FAQ. There are ways to withdraw using OTC remedies, or doing a medical detox. I did a bit of both for the best chances for recovery. For me when I got to the 6th 7th day I knew I was going to be okay.

Of course post acute withdrawal lasts a while, and everyone is different depending on a few factors. :)
 
I know exactly what you're going through. I started on oxycontins years ago, then roxies, and finally now banging heroin. Opiates are so hard to get off, but you can if you really want to. But you have to really want it.

One thing that can help is Kratom. It can help some with the withdrawals. Look into it. Online is the best way to purchase it but you can also get it at headshops.
 
That's very encouraging thank you. Everyday of detox was getting worse and the 5th day was no exception. If I'd had any glimmer of hope that things would've improved.. I would've tried harder to hang in there, but quite frankly I was on the edge of losing my job and much more. It's been 4 years now using, up to ten, 10 mg oxy per day, or six-ten 15 mg's depending what I can get my hot lil hands on. I really do wanna get off these damn things because I hate how they consume my life now, mentally, physically & financially. I've tried lots of OTC remedies (to no avail) but my fear w/ any medical detox is being flagged. - You're right bout the longer term withdrawal effects if/when I can get past the horrible sickness at first. I'm the classic story of a friend handing me just one 7.5-10mg vic or perc once when was having crap day/week, an chilled me out. I'd be good all day! Seems crazy now that only a few years later I have to take 30 mg of oxy to feel anything!! I hate myself for that ;/ an my bank acct does too! THEN of course a snowboard accident & 2 surgeries, THEN, life started spiraling down when my brother died in a tragic accident, lost my job, my fiancé, etc. etc all in the same year, SO.. of course I just kept popping more of those lil oxy's like candy so I didn't feel the pain. Have not had good luck w/ any counselors unfortunately. - Anyway!.. thanks again for the tip an the thread to check out, I'm not goin to give up on my efforts. I'll stop eating these Skittles someday, soon I hope! I think the hardest part right now, is remembering what I felt like, or was like, without em?.. Sry for the novel, this is my only outlet atm. Thanks everyone & good luck on all your individual paths as well!
