ive been reading this board for a few days now and finally decided to post something. my problem is no way near what ive read on here, but to me its still bad! i have so much respect for all of you and the things you are going/have went through.

im 25 years old and living on my own in NJ. ive been taking !!at the most!! 60mg of oxycontin OR 60mg of rocacete a day( please excuse my spelling, as i dont know the real names of pills, basically just the street name)

i started about a year ago simply because that warm fuzzy feeling was amazing! my tolerance wasnt really built up and my condition wasnt really that bad. i could take 2 yellow 10mg percs and be fine for most of the day. lately ive been taking between 1-2 30mg rocacets or sometimes 3/4 of a 80mg oxycontin when the percs arent available.

ive gone days without taking anything even a week at the most, but i would always come back simply because i thought i wasnt addicted. well last week i tried to quit everything and after the 3rd day i was VERY angry, restless, couldnt sleep, and had very bad diarreah. i became VERY scared and ran back to the drugs.

now i am ready to quit cold turkey this week. again, i almost feel bad because my problem isnt nearly has bad others, but i still feel that i need some help and encouragement. i had 15 mg of rocacet yesterday and the day before. this morning i took the same. i plan on taking 1 yellow 10mg perc tomorrow morning and then tuesday being my first day on nothing.

again my problem isnt as serious, but im tired of being dependant on these damn pills. parents friends and coworkers have no idea. i want to be clean and start to become more heathy.

can anyone give me any feedback on foods or maybe vitamins to keep me energized and maybe not depressed? i really do think most of it is in my head, but last week i really felt like i had serious physical W/D symptoms.

any type of help encouragement or feedback would be GREATLY appreciated.

Hey, I am on my 7th day w/o OC. - The first 3-4 days, are NOT very nice to be sure. I would suggest, (if you can) tapering off a bit before going COLD.
I went from taking 4-5 40mgs a day, then, for two weeks, I went down to 1 20mgs 2x`s a day, until last Sunday, I stopped it all. Plse note, that everyone responds to OC WD differently. and yes, after the enitial few days, it really is a head trip. your brain is used to having the OC everyday, and it will do ANYTHING to make YOU think you need it. ie, make you sore, and sick. you need to fight, and stop the receptors from doing that to you, try and eat as well as you can, stay off the caffeen if possiable, drink electrolite enriched drinks Power aid and the like (blue Gateraid has the most electrolites)
you will find that hot showers help, excersise if you can, (keep yourself busy)
I found that if I tired myself out during the day with activity, It was a little easier for me to get SOME rest. not much, but some.
Imodiam for diarreea is best. - try not to eat acidy foods, tomatoe sauce etc.
Good luck, and Im going thru this with ya, just a few days ahead is all.. keep posting here, and you take the ball and YOU can do it!!!

thanks for the reply, the advice, and even just your time. ive been keeping myself busy tonight doing some possitive and very optimistic thinking. just thinking about the money ill save, the better health i will have, and the all- around good feeling. im so totally ready to do this. i know if i dont do it now, its gonna start to get out of control. might as well kick the habit now while i can. and hopefully soon (but not too soon) afterwards im gonna start taking my chantex and get them marlboros out of my life as well!

Looks like there is more like me in our great state. Hows that detox going, are you winning the battle? You should improve in 3-5 days.

Jersey,

It seems like you did a kinda tapper down. The first week is going to be rough. Phenergan is a presciption med that will help with the stomach cramping and diarrhea. Immodium works well also. Hot showers or hot tub for body aches. L-Tryptophan for sleep. Plenty of water with electrolytes. Valarian tea to help you relax. Apples are good for the stomach because of the pectin in the skin.

Make it through the first week and you should be back on your feet in anothr week. In about a month you should bounce back. I have been off the opiates for over 8 months and I feel great. And I was a hard core user for a decade. Every prescribed opiate imaginable. 3,500 mg a day in pills and 30 to 40 cc's of Dilaudid and Hydromorphine. 40 to 50 mg a day of Xanax. My dopesickness lasted months and months. You can do it. The pain is temporary, but freedom is in your hands. Get a good support system. Friends and family. Go to a few NA meetings. For some people it is very helpful. For me I depend on God for my strength. God Bless.
