Kickin a perc addiction??

I've been taking oxycodone's and oxycontin's since my car accident in may 2007 and I NEED to stop. I started out not bad, like 10mg a day. Now i find myself taking anywhere between 100-140mg a day everyday for the past few months.

I'm trying to quit but it's sooooo difficult.

I've tried to get some suboxone but cannot find any.

Any good ways to kick the habit easier??

Thanks All

 

honestly man ill tell u the truth right now...There is no easy way out of opiate addiction...Suboxone is ur best bet, but if u can cold turkey it then go for it..u could make a "taper down plan" and do it that way too...

 

Very true your best bet right now is start cutting down a little every day,If I were you hear is a example of a Detox I would do. I do not know how your body reacts to opiates or how sick you get. So this is just a example not a outline to follow step buy step. If you are going to cheat some days on your detox and get high this is usless and will not work ! you have to want to stop. Detoxing slow willl only keep you straight and not get you high. I am only trying to help you so you don't get that sick alright. Hears an example of what I would do if I were you. Start taking a few less Mg's a day like 5 to 10 mg les. brake the pills up if you have to to figure out the MG ratio. every 2 or 3 days go down about 5 mg's try 10 or 20 even if you thnk you are not to sick and feel alright but in not stick with a low number like 5mg. Going down slow like this you should not get that sick at all and I know how bad us opiate addcits hate to get sick. Keep doing this for as long as it takes and so you feel comfortable. when you get down to a low dose like 5 or 10mgs if you think you can go cold turkey then go for it the withdrawls will be no where as bad as they are on a high dose. When you go cold turkey take alot of Showers, try to get your hands on some Benzo's like Xanex or Valium and take a low dose, this should help the withdrawl, please don't get hooked on the Dam Benzo's though ? LOL. thats another monster in its self. if you can't brake the opiate addictionwhen you are down to a low dose try to get street Methadone, buy like 80mg's to 100mgs and take 10mg's of methadone every day for 7 days. The last 4 or 5 days take only 5 mg's, Then go cold Turkey. short term methadone like a 14 or 21 detox works great for some people. But I will tell you this now do not take the Methadone any longer then that or at a high dose.You do not want to get addicted to Methadone, I . The withdrawls from long term methadone are a bitch They will make your OC withdrwals look like a walk in the park ! But on the other hand Short term methadone at a low dose works great and is very easy to kick. long term Methadone is the worst opiate addcition in the world one could have its take months to kick and the withdrawls are 100 times worse the Herion. This is the best advice I can give you man. You have not even been using for a whole year yet and look how bad the withdrawls are ? And they just keep getting worse and worse and the years will just keep passing buy. Stop Now Bro please !!!! Also Dude If you still use and think you always will maybe you should think about a inpatient rehab that does Suboxone or a short term metadone detox. If you still use after Rehab a long term Methadone program might be the only thing but that should only be the last resort. Good luck man I mean that, I have been hear many of times over the Years, I know how bad it sucks, I really do feel for you !!!!

 

Thanks guys. I went 2 days cold turkey but I had to get some today. The withdrawls were raping my mind. I was breaking out in hot and cold sweats, shaking, getting sick over and over, anxiousness, haven't sleep for days, and just couldn't go 2 seconds without fiending for it,,,, and I never thought I would catch a habit. But I guess taking them allll the time I should have known better

But today I only got 25 mg just to stop the sickness. I really appreciate your advice, slowing down my doses will probably help alot. I mean I would get 12 or 14 10's just to get myself right. And even though I've only take 1/4 of what I would normally use the sickness has stopped

I believe weining myself off will be a whole lot easier because I cannot stand the way I have felt these past days. I just didn't think about that, I was just so focused on just wanting to stop before it got really really bad.

As far as the benzo's, i am on probation and have to piss test, but since I had a perc script from the accident and from the hospital 2 months ago when I cracked my tooth I can legally have it in my urine. But the benzo's stay for week's and I really don't want to go back to jail

And as far as methadone, I would REALLY like to stay away from that. I would only use it as a last resort.

Im in Baltimore MD, Does anyone know a good site with detox clinic info??

good luck to you,i am in the middle of kicking hydro right now,this is my 3rd day clean,i went to a suboxone doc the other day,he put me on those and gave my some anti-depresants to help sleep.for a week or so i tapered down big time and even that was VERY HARD but i think it made a big difference. i have been addicted to them for over 2yrs now,and this is the first time i have gone over a day without a hydro for over 2yrs,trust me if i could do it you can.a month a ago i would have told you i never see myself stoping.

 

Opiate addiction is the hardest thing any human will ever go threw mentally and physically....and to be honest i've never actually seen someone or even heard of someone gettin totally clean...most people that say they beat it and are now "clean" just think they are clean cuz they aren't taking their DOC (Drug of Choice) but they are on buprenorphine or methadone and those are both opiates also....so good luck but u gotta look at the realistic side of things....ur gonna fight this till the day u die...

 

Good luck seriously, I guess your best bet is to try and taper down slowly... I told my self personally that opiates are one drug I will say the fuck away from. My only experience was with oxycodone 20mgs after my knee surgery. I was in severe pain, doc prescribed me only 10 of them, and I would take one, and feel like I was on top of the world, and then fiend for another until the next day when it was time to take another. It was crazy...After my 10 were gone, I couldnt sleep, was sweating, felt nauseous for a week after, talked to my doctor, and he said yep that's opiates for you. That scared the shit out of me as I've never been hooked to something before in my life and I felt hooked to oxycodone for that short period of time. Good luck man, I know im never fucking with that shit again.

 

That sucks man, I feel your pain. Don't stop cold turkey, tapper of they were saying. I could do a day or two but had to go back to it to prevent WDs. Just try to take off as many days(2-3) as you can b/c taking some more. Dont try to take em to nod off or get back to where you use to be, take just enough to make you feel normal and kick the WD symptoms. Find something else to do to get your mind off if it. Working out, running, anything physical will do wonders, I had no idea until I tried it. To my surprise working out actually gave me more endorphins(your bodies natural opiate) than i ever remembered. You really have to want to quit, which unfortunately is beyond hard. You can do it though man, just be persistent its not a overnight thing as you already know.

 

Yeah, it's been a couple weeks since I started this thread and i'm doing a lil bit better, I'm not going overboard like I used to. Like last night, i took 30mg of oxy's and was good. not GOOD good but was good,, ya know?? But i'm tryin to go a day or 2 without taking em, then take a lil bit 30-60mg, then a couple days off, then a lil lessto try and wein myself off of them.

I looked for a detox program and it was waaayyyyy too expensive!!

And the only thing I found was methadone and Fuck methadone man!! My buddy had a dope habit years ago, and then recently got hooked on oxy's. So he went on a long term methadone prgram and now is hooked on that hell....IDK what the fuck is up w these opiates but it's a bitch lol

At least you are being serious about kicking the shit (I hope). That's pretty cool. Are you getting these through a script or you paying out the pocket? 140mg a day is a heavy habit to pay for on the black market..

 

No they won't give me any more scripts (which I can understand) and yes sometimes it does get very very pricey!! But this guy I know gets 120 10mg's and give's me the script for $550 (like $4.50 a pill) which helps out alot, and when I sell half the script to different people for 10 a pop I make my money back and then some, AND have free percs but then other people only have like 20 of em and want 10 a pop and I have to pay it, but normally less than half the retail price.
