Wow today is going to be the longest day of my life!?

DON"T flush them, bad for the ground water and environment. Pharmacy will take care of them, if you have no idea what to do. Uppy, I know you may be dreading this, but try to focus on something else. Dr. Junig says the reason a person thinks their last withdrawal is the worst is because it is the most reason and easiest to recall. You can take imodium and advil or tylenol, you really should call the induction doc for anything else you can or should take. They might call you in some clonidine, it depends on the doctor. I know you are scared and worried, but you really should be ok, my friend. It will seem like you have the flu and the stomach flu maybe, but just try to not focus on it. It actually will make it worse for you to dwell on it. I am not fussing at you, I am trying to make it a bit easier on you. Can your friend that has your opiate bring over some comedy dvds, or find some on youtube or cable. Laughter will help some. I am praying for you. Pattishan.

Ps, you would be out of misery between 20 minutes and 45 minutes after your 1rst dose, it works really quickly, and you will feel fabulous 2 hours after the first dose. Pattishan

Don't forget I won't fail to help in any way possible, Today is not the best day for me, so We're going to get through this day together, You have come too far, you are worth all the effort it take, do whatever you would normally enjoy I have a tape in and a book on the chair, I am determined this too shall pass, and I just know it will for you, I can't hit meds today either, my system had it yesterday I got out and the rain wet me top to bottom, with the fall I caught my joints in those fractured vertrebraes are knawing at me, and the disk but I am determined and you are worth all it takes, I am going to check on you throughout the day, You are one of the most worthwhile projects to enrich my life, where I live it's a central time zone 12:45 PM just think the time is passing, You are in my thoughts and prayers, I remember reading that frequent showers or a bath help with those resless legs, don't forget Patti told you although it depends on the doctor yu have he might actually call some Clonidine in, as she said that depends on the doctor! Find whatever to think about other things, the more distracted you are the more time will go by and just know that we're here!

Go for it! Don't think so much. Just tell your friend to flush them and not in front of you. When I tried to take the Suboxone I had back to the pharmacy, they told me it would be illegal for them to take them back because Suboxone is a controlled substance. They told me to open each foil pack and let each filmstrip dissolve in water and toss it down the drain or flush them down the toilet. If that rule applies to Oxys, then you don't have much choice. I guarantee you the runoff from the farmers' chemicals will pollute the water system to a greater degree than your one supply of narcotics. The fish will be smiling. If you give in to the cravings all you will do is delay the beginning of your Suboxone. Remember, you must be in withdrawal or you will have a worse situation than you already do have.

The first question they will ask is when you took your last narco.You are going to lose a lot of fluid, so you have to replace them --- not with plain water, and not coffee, but fruit juices, V-8 juice, warm milk with honey tastes good and helps you relax. I don't know how withdrawal from Oxycodone alone compares with it when you are also coming off the benzos as I did 4 months ago. Talk about jonesing; whew! It was the muscle cramps and sweating that were awful. Ice packs at the base of my skull seemed to help. I love Pattishan's suggestion; laughter really is the best medicine and studies support that theory. It helps to pass the time. Life seems sucky right now, but it will get better. Forget about sleep for a while. If you can soak in a hot tub that helps relax those sore muscles. Isn't it just like us addicts to look for something "to take" to feel better. We addicts all have to learn to sit with whatever pain, physical, emotional or spiritual until it passes... and it will. My prayers are with you too. Just think, less than 24 hours from now you will feel like a new person, and be writing to let us know it. It's a little like childbirth; labor feels like it will never end, and when that baby pops out you forget all about the pain. Withdrawal makes childbirth look like a walk on the beach.

That's the bitch about stoping,fuck I've been just taking small amounts of methadone & I mean small less than 20 mgs a day & not by choice but I feel fine physically & have been able to sleep & all that good crap but now it's the bordom that is getting me & I'd love a sack or some benzos,but I get it that's not the direction you want to go,guess I'm playing devils advocate but get ready to deal with that. After doing dope all those years make you get so used to it that when it's gone it's strange. I'll tell you one thing that I experienced with sobo's is unless it's methadone you've been taking 18 or so hrs is all I waited b4 taking 8mg of sub & it was like a fever & then it broke & I felt fine so I know what peeps have said bout how long you have to wait to take them but I guess in your case you don't have any yet so I guess u have to do the "sick" thing.

Weed really helps though,it's the ONLY thing besides more opiates that I have found that works"just saying" for anyone that wants to rip on me for saying it,that's all I'm doing is saying u or anyone doesn't have to act on anything anyone says. Good luck,and find a hobby cuz dope is a hobby a bad one but if that's what u know it's what u know so find some things to do in my case I'm waiting to fill my scrip,& that's me & what I do,now,it will change one way or another.

Uppy1977, I don't really think it is going to be as bad as you are anticipating. You've been on narcotics up until today, they are not out of your system yet. I have found that it is usually day three of withdrawal when the really bad stuff hits me, like the cramping and uncontrollable loose stools, nausea and vomiting etc... you get the picture. it never hit me until day three. Since there won't be a day three for you because you will have the Suboxone, try not to stress about it, it really isn't going to bad at all. I wouldn't say that if I hadn't experienced it myself once or three or ten times Ha!Ha! You have built this up so much in your mind that you think it is inevitable, but you just aren't going to experience all that on day one of a withdrawal. You may have a little restless sleep, but that too is from the huge build up in your mind of what you think is going to happen. Your also anxious about your appointment.

I think the best thing you could do is try and not dwell on all this stuff so much. Find something to occupy your time, it's only one day away. And like everybody has told you, after your first dose of Suboxone, you will start to feel better already. Good luck kiddo, you made the right choice. Tomorrow really is another day, the first day of your new and improved you! be proud, you've earned it!! NIK
