Wow this actually made me cry!! I am on day 15 of perk withdraw and I can relate to you so much. I used to feel the same way had to have pills to get up in the morning they made me so happy but when they started not working on the pain I decided to stop cold turkey! Today I am so tired I'm on the couch. I feel for you I just know that getting off percs is your only chance at freedom. That's what is keeping me going today.

I kno exactly wha you mean Jordan. But you can't go cold turkey. Its for your own health. Look for help bro. Don't be scared or ashamed. It gets the best of us. Johnny Cash was hooked on H. I just don't want you to end up in that cuz. Email is {edited for privacy}

Wow besides the great job you just told my story! I'm 4 hours into day 3 of my st home detox. Yesterday I managed to do light housework and took 3 baths. I used to go to Florida for scripts too.. That's was the beginning of the end for me. I'm on the verge of losing my husband- my mood swings are so bad- everything I do revolves around if I have a pill...and A pill doesn't cut it anyway.. I need at least 2 30s preferably 3 30s to even get off. I'm 31, attractive, healthy otherwise- this is no way to live! I see everyone else living life- getting outta bed- accomplishing things- and I'm a slave to a little blue pill.

My detox is going ok. I'll be honest it started w not having the $ to make myself feel high- and my husband made sure of that- so the process started with me kicking and screaming and going into DTs involuntarily. But I've been wanting to detox seriously for a couple weeks so I quickly decided the time had to be now. Day 2 I begged at 3 friends to bring me anything- suboxone- pills.. Anything to knock me out? But nothing.. No one came. It's sleep I want... I just got about 4 hours straight tonight which I was happy about. My mind feels clearer already.. I'm so excited to feel normal again- be healthy- being a slave to nothing- salvaging my relationships. Another awful awfullll part of this detox is my damn legs! Restless leg.. Or whatever is going on is god awful- can't get comfortable- I'm just rocking my self back and forth like a psycho! Ugh.. But I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel... Hope it's not a train...if it is better be loaded w Percs! How can I love something that is ruining my life? I'll never get it. Daddy issues maybe- idk lol but listen I just keep telling myself I'm strong. This is temporary. I wish you strength to get thru this as well. I'm thinking I'm going to feel good enough to actually go out this weekend?!

Thanks, today is day 7 and I am feeling a little better. Old habits die hard. I quit because I have a problem, and I know it. The fact that I am craving is evidence of the problem. I turned down the chance to get a few today Percs today. What would that do for me? Extend the inevitable? Go backwards a few days? I have to do this...just wish it didn't suck so much.

Please don't give false or misleading info. An opiate is an opiate! Doesn't matter which kind of percocet it is, it's still an opiate just the same. Also withdrawal can last in the extreme physical aspects aka dope sick for only 3 days and then that's over but you will still feel a longing and discomfort following that that could last weeks or months or even years.
Many think they can tamper but for an addict that's pretty impossible and IMO prolongs the withdrawal because all that time you are tapering you are withdrawing and when u jump off you will still withdrawal!

Many are scared because they don't think they can enjoy or feel good without them that's the biggest lie from the devil! You will feel good without them and as your dope amine repairs itself, you will feel natural highs.

Each withdrawal you have will get worse and the longer u are using the worse it gets each time even if u were using less than previous time!

Many suggest prescription meds but for us that don't have access I have created a help kit that has diminished about 95 percent of withdrawal symptoms that I can gladly share with anyone interested that also shortened my withdrawals to only 2 days!!!!! Just reply to this post

I need help. I need to be off of percs completely. I am so ashamed of myself and where I am with addiction at this point in my life. I use 20 mg daily. Never even knew about this until about a year ago. I will readily accept any suggestions. I'm ruining the body God gave me. I have to be clean, healthy and strong for the two terminally ill family members I care for. I'm scared and always fail during withdrawal. I HAVE to work every day as well. God bless everyone fighting this awful fight.

You are addicted and you need to stop taking them. I have a family member that was addicted to them for more than 12 years. If she was reading your post she would beg you to quit and tell you the hell she went through and what addiction cost her .. her jobs, her home, her belongings, her car, her children and for quite some time .. her mother. PLEASE, stop taking them before you lose all these things.

This is Jo again, I have been clean for 5 days. I know some might roll their eyes at this, but to me its a huuuuge steo forward. To that girl that asked how it felt from 100 mg to 20mg I cant answer that cuz I went from over 300mg down to 120mg. But I will say its a difficult process! These last two weeks I cut down to 15mg a day. Until about last Wednesday. Since then I havent touched one. It will get better friends. Im tryin' to get clean for good!! So when I make it a month I will re post. And if I f*** up along tha way I will let yall know. To tha 19 year old guy askin' for advice, my email is {edited for privacy}

Bro bro, you may think you're alone but your not. I came into this message board seekin' advice, and I realized how badd and evil this lil blue thing is! If you had read my comment you will see I was doin' basically what you're doin' right now. What gets to me is that you're 2 years younger than me bro!! Its easy right now, because we feel as though our whole life us ahead of us. We have no kids or no worries. But slowly time creeps up on you. When I was your age, I'd think Oo this isnt gonna hurt me. Im just gonna do it for a couple weeks and then im done. Thats not how it works though. Slowly you lise everyone you care about, you start doin' stuff you never would do growin' up. Like when I was in my teens, I'd tell myself. Im never gonna put nothin' up my nose. And guess what brah, I did. Now its im never gonna IV anythin'!! But after pills its H cuz and you will realize thats too late to change. I wish I could leave my number, but thats a lil weird. Hit me up tho, we can do this together.

Hey jo congrats on doing as well as you are keep it up man. I've been reading as your updating looking for advice and trying to find answers. The post with your email for me to respond to got blocked for privacy so I can't see the email. But on my bad days I do up to 450mg and on good days about 240mg. Everything I get is black market so you know how exspensive its getting. Somehow I've managed to keep my parents from finding out so far but its only a matter of time and want to stop before that happends. Everytime I stop cold turkey for two sometimes three days they always bombard me with multiple jobs and I have no energy and feel like s*** so I end up starting again. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm not a bad kid I've just always liked getting f***ed up and before my habit got this bad I was an electrician for 5 years working sometimes up 100 hours a week.

Jordan, go to turntohelp on the internet and you will find information on how to detox. Also google rehabs in Southern MD and you'll find a list of them or at least a way to find them. As I've told you, your parent will be so much more disappointed if the lose you to addiction than if you tell them what your problem is. Yes they will be upset, but they will get over it. It's a long road for both of you, but at least you're asking for help. I'm praying for you and here when you need me. Ce Ce

I was using about 160 mg day. Four 20 mg oxycontin and 8 10/325 percs.
It took about 8 days before I could sleep normally and my body did not really have a great craving for the drug. However after 11 days I will go back on the meds. I have chronic pain jssues. I have bad Osteoarthritis in the upper part of my neck. Vertabrae 3-7. A;so have in both hands, knees and my right hip. I also have tears in my knees. Also both rotator cuffs are going out. I have been a brittle type 1 diabetic for 44 of my 50 years and it is accelerating the problems. Luckily my weight is good and I do not have any kidney issues yet.

Hi there..
I will stand in for you with intercessory prayer as I too am going through the same situation. I had back surgery last year and have been in pain ever since. been taking Vics and percs but so want to get off ALL of this medicine! I have been praying for a week and not thinking about taking them as much altho the withdrawals draw me back in:( If we Believe and Trust in The Power Love Mercy and Grace of Our Lord HE will bring us through anything.

so many ppl in my town and state are doing that to its crazy, i suggest a detox program and they can set her up with after care program, shooting 20 times a day she needs months of treatment, if she touches the drug even once after she is clean its 100% chance of relapse

Sorry, but she is definetly lying to you and you should be worried about the amount she is taking. It's huge. I was taking half of that and I had to go through Suboxone Detox to stop taking oxycodone. There is no way in hell she just stopped liked that and now is cured. Withdrawals in itself are so hard and at the amount she is taking, your daughter, she would show signs of withdrawals within 5-6 hours after her last dose.
Don't believe an addict unless you saw it with your own eyes. That's the best advice I can give you.
