you should tapper off slow depending on how much you us. take at least one month to taper off to lessen the withdrawl problems. then shot fore cold turkey and stick to it. you also could do it the easy way, through a doctor, methadone is a great pill for withdrawls and so is serboxin? spelling is bad on that one.its a hard battle no matter how you slice it. good like.

I'm 8 days clean from oxys. what I did was taper off in a weeks time and then went cold turkey. I had the body aches but just got in a hot tub of water about 6 x a day. I am also staying with someone so that I can't get them I felt shitty for about 3 or 4 days. feel great now just can't sleep. I was on these for 3 years and shot them up. If I can do it you can. I also am doing alot of praying and it has gotten me thru. my dr. gave me clonidene for blood pressure and that helps with the withdraw. good luck sweetie life is great streight
Dear Guest and tfurrie,
I am curious as to how things are going for you. I went a week with only one 40 mg total and fell apart. There isn't any number of baths in the world that is going to help this. It must be different for everybody - four days with no oxy and things were getting worse each day for me. If the symptoms would have gotten better, I might have stayed with it. How long can wd last? I've been on them about a yr and a half, anywhere from 40 to 400 mg a day. I know four days is only the tip of the iceberg for me. I think I will need to check into a detox ctr. How long can that last?

This is the first time that ive posted anything. But I read what your going through, and it sounds exsactly the same as my story. Ive been addicted to oxy's for about 6 years. Ive tryed everything to get myself clean. 3 weeks in an inpatient rehab center, detoxing at home over, and over and over, until I hoped and prayed for death.
And then a friend of mine told me about this clinic that opened up in our town, and how it saved his life!! So I gave it a shot. Now I know there are a lot of diffrent feelings on methadone maitenance treatment. But let me tell you, I have been clean for 95days now, and I truley got my life back!! People try saying that using methadone to recover from oxys, is just substituting one drug for another. They are ignorant!! Methadone does not give you a high, it takes away the physical cravings, and withdrawls for the oxy's, and it just plain and simply gives you your life back. I have not felt this good sence before I started with the drugs. My family has not been this happy, in years!! IF you would like to know more about it, just leave me a message, and I can go into more details. I could mabe give you my email address, and we could talk that way. By the way, im 26years old, female, 3little boys, and a husband.

I think my friend is hooked. I found some material around. It was little plastic pouches with blue paper. I didn't actually find the pills, just the packaging. Does oxy's come like this? Any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
thanks,
I believe your frined is using Heroine, this I gathered from the descirption of the little blue pouches. I have snorted Heroine before. I was told that this was a way to detox from the pain medications I am addicted to. I do not use just one I have used Oxy's, Morphine pills and Percocet, as well as Vicodin.
As far as withdrawl...I have had a very hard time. I toke me four days! I have only used regualrly since Feb of this year. I did the bath thing with a product known as Batherapy from Wlamart. It has Lithium slats and amg sulfates in it. This did help. I can say that I DID NOT stay clean because I could not handle the depression. Now I am afraid of withdrawl. I hated feeling so down. I have tried so many anti-dperessant. I am now working on vitamin therapy and I hope that this coupled with my desire to get and stay clean. I need to learn how to cope. I find it hard to deal with all of the emtional issues. I use because I want to feel good. What in life helps you to endure this wicked world???? If it is only attitude then I fail!

Hello I am addicted to Oxycocet and trying hard to get off it, I have artritis in my neck from the base of my skull and in my uper back so far any way. I have tried to get off it but the weather kills me, I live in British Columbia Canada. So it gets fairly cold here. And I am trying to cut back with no luck it seems. I have read some of the postings and I can only say that its great that some of you are getting off the stuff and hope you can give me some sudgstions too.
HI Rich... I too know how horrible neck and back bone pain can be.... I started with chiropractors and then mine spine just seemed to fuse.... I have been going to something called "Network" since 1996 and it has changed my life.... My spine has been slowly repairing itself all this time and beginning to unfuse in the upper portions..... my neck has been cracking ON ITS OWN... not with assistance as it finds "its home" on my spine again..... I have been on OXY for 1 and half years.... my doctor put me on it when my thyroid went "kaput" and I didn't know what was wrong and my pain got really bad.... now I am addicted.... I am going to try and get off of it.... I was just on Darvocet for years and it was enough.... and it is fairly benign and doesn't create addiction... and you can go up or down as you need to.. not as your body tells you you have too..... Good luck my friend and if you need any references for Network let me know.... Blessings Julie R.
This posting was prompted after reading a posting from tigger26. I want to get off Oxys to get my llife back. I have been taking Oxys for about 3 Yrs. I have MS and began taking Oxys for pain and also it helped with overwhelming fatigue. It was like a miracle pill. Its now my worst nightmare and I want off. I'd like to try and get off without going into a rehab clinic, my fear is that my children find out about my addiction. I read your posting about methadone and would like to know more info if your willing to correspond with me.
I've been taking Vicodin for about 2years now. Started just one or two a day, I'm up to about 3-4 now and that's because I'm trying to stop. I can't go into rehab, I'd lose my job. Tried to stop a few times but I can't function and had to leave work. I don't have any time off until Jan 2004.
I have 3 kids and a husband who is also addicted. Is Vicodin like heroin? Methodone treatment? I didn't think it was as bad, I guess I was wrong.
Do they have out-patient treatment? Does anyone think If I can cut down to 1 a day, I could then go cold turkey?

Why don't you try buphrenorphine...see top tool bar of this web site under addiction medications...to find the specially trained doctors who can give it to you.
Good luck

I CALLED ABOUT THAT BUPREORPHINE TODAY INSURANCE DOES NOT COVER THE VISITS IT WILL COVER THE PILLS 1RST VISIT IS $400.00 FOR THE FIRST MONTH IT'LL TAKE 1 TO 2 HOURS THE FIRST TIME THEN 160.00 A MONTH FOR TWO VISITS A MONTH AND IF YOU DONT HAVE INSURANCE LIKE I DON'T IT'S $11.00 A DAY FOR THE MEDICATION SO THERE IS NO EASY WAY TO GET HELP IN THIS LIFE UNLESS YOU GOT PLENTY OF MONEY I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO I CANT AFFORD THAT PLUS ANYBODY WHO IS TAKING VALIUM XANAX OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT CANT USE THIS MEDICINE BECAUSE ITLL CAUSE A BAD REACTION THAT COULD KILL SO THERE IS NO EASY WAY OUT OF THIS GOING TO CALL ABOUT METHADONE TOMORROW MAYBE IT'S CHEAPER
