I want to let myself go into withdrawal over the weekend so my question is will I be able to do this and go to work on Monday. I will be coming off of 40mg oxycodone 5 tabs a day,,,its time to stop. I've been doing this for about 3years.
 
withdrawals tend to last 4 -5 days with the worst being day 3 imo
i doubt you'll be in any shape for work monday, but all the best to you
 
How did you do today?
Don't give up on the idea - you're right - if you know it's about time to stop - it's probably time to stop
It might help to look at other people's experiences and weaning yourself off the drugs - if you are too afraid to ask for help from someone you know and trust
From experience I have learned that cold turkey might be harder than you might have imagined -
Please be careful - hope you are ok
 
Thanx you guys for your responses,,,I was thinking that maybe a taper like bumbee would be the best route to take I was at 5 a day of the 40mg oxycodone I'm now doing about 12 - 14 tabs of 10mg percs. Its so f****n hard but I'm determined these shits have ruined my life,,,or I should say I ruined my life. Bumbee how are u feeling today and thank you again Keeping for your help I need all of what anyone can offer me.
 
doing ok
brain fog
mild anxiety
depression
NOTHING like what you are going through - but I've been there and baby you gotta hang in there

When I went through a withdrawal like you are going through I had to take time off of work and have someone watch the kids for a few days
Believe me - kids are a huge factor - HUGE -

I interventioned myself with (believe it or not) alcohol. I thought I was going to be sick as a dog either way so I got a bottle of vodka and got smashed and got a hangover and I kept it up until I couldn't anymore and tapered off with beer

Not everyone has an iron clad constitution like I have but I did it the only way I knew how without going into rehab, having the kids taken away from me, or both, or the hospital
and god forbid the EX found out what I was up to or he would have had me never see the kids again

yes, I was that desperate. It was sad - and I cried a lot - but I thought about the kids - and I did what I had to.

Xanax or Valium helps coming off the painkillers and or hangover.. I needed an arsenal of things to counter the opioids - so maybe try to focus on that when you get your pills IDK
 
Omg,,Bumbee ,you are the best because I was just thinking about that,,,I was think that once I get down to a low with the taper and I will soon cuz I'm running out of pills that I would go pick up my all time favorite kettleone and let the Chips fall where they may. You hit the nail on the head about the ex the kids are going away with him this weekend so this is my chance to try to get on a better path in life,,,I've gotta do better.

You hang in there too. The depression and anxiety are the absolute worst but I'm thinking after a month you and I will be swapping recipes and saying how much better we feel.
Your a trooper I just know it.
 
Hoping the best for you -
Save 1 10mg (if you can - I know that's like next to impossible, but try.)
smash that up into little pieces - put it in a baggie - put that baggie in the most OUT OF THE WAY - hard to get - place in the house
This entire thing is not only an addiction but an excersize in self-control -

WARNING - if you start drinking your inhibitions will go low - and you might start phoning in your problems and needs to other people (this is a VERY BAD idea)
Hide your phone and just stay on the laptop - IDK what your situation is but write on your arms all the warnings you need to see so you don't forget if you only own a phone

Do I sound insane yet?
When you get down to your next to last pill you will feel insane.
So what I did - was I purchased everything I needed ahead of time. FOOD - CIGGS - ALCOHOL - DVDS - BEER - VALIUM - BENADRYL - PEPTO BISMOL - ADVIL - ETC
Trying to fend for yourself while you are going through hell is hard - don't make it worse by trying to drive after you're coming down.
Be careful if you think your going to mix pills and alcohol - use alcohol as the last resort and don't be surprised if you are violently ill.

Once you make it through the first night - which I know you can do that - you can have 1 tiny piece of that last pain killer mixed with some advil because the headache is going to be a doozey

Then immerse yourself in Netflix or DVDs and just divert your attention while the hours pass. Day 3 is the worst and if you can do that you made it - and all of that last painkiller will be gone.
I'm not saying that it works for you - but it's how I did it. It's not as bad as heroin - not even as bad as severe benzo withdrawal - but it does suck.
You're tough - you can figure out what will work for you - I have faith
 
I'm telling you your the best,, im gonna do it ,I'm so glad I ran into you.,,,and yes you sound totally insane but I too have faith and you know your shit so I'm gonna follow this recipe to tge end I feel like what u said is exactly right after day three I should be okay,,, not the best but okay,,, I'm hoping by day 5 to be able to be around my kids at that point without wanting to yell at them,,,you know what I mean.
I have my list and am going to Walmart tomorrow,, I will keep u posted. I just wish that it was easy to get off of them like it was easy to fall in love with them.
