ha! looks like it just me talking to myself on my own thread! but that's ok... i guess it's like a diary then.
so it's evening of day 2. my stomach hurts but i think all the excitement will be tomorrow when i have a bunch of things i cannot put off. so that will be exciting.
i did however, go to the gym. i ran half a mile and then walked the other half (actually 1.08 miles). Felt good to move my body, although at first my legs felt like glue. i just tried to think of getting those toxins out. not sure how i had the energy to make it to the gym, but somehow, i did. i now feel kind of ok. very tired now that im back home. excited to shower and go to bed. I slept 13 hours last night. 9pm-12am. then 3am-3pm.
hope everyone is doing well on their quest. been reading a lot of uplifting stories on this board. lots of brave people, regardless of long term success or relapses... it takes a lot just to try.

hi...
so today is my day 1, trying to come off percocet. i do need them for legit reasons, migraines and back issues, but like so many, ive gone from legit using of them, to fun, to needing them everyday. when my script is done, i can get them other ways. i suppose the every day has gone on for 2 years? not sure. abusing them for at least 4. my fiance has severe migraines and takes roxys as has the same issues as me. he actually does need them, but again, has fallen into the same trap as me. we are quitting together and wont get married til this is under control.
i've gone off before for a few days/ a week or so here and there.... the bathroom issues i hate. can i really take 4 immodiums at a time? cause my fiance took 2 and they did nothing last time we went off. we didnt know u could double the dose. is that safe?
i know im in for a shitty few days/ week... depression etc... i can feel it even maybe starting now. what can help with the restless legs? those also drive me crazy! i do not have a problem with soma or valium (i have those for my back too and they just sit around the house... like i have valium from 2008). Can i take either of those drugs to help me during this time since my issues arent with them?
any suggestions at all or support will help. i know i have several weeks til i can get my script again, and i do not want to use during this time so i can delay picking up that script. unfortunately this med is one of the only ones that can keep my migraines under control.... but i need to get under control first before i can have them in my life...
thanks all.

Hey Wendy!
I am so proud of you for being able to get out to the gym. That is probably the best thing you could have done for yourself!!!
I know this is not easy and worRAB truly can't describe what it's "really" like detoxing but I just wanted to let you know I am here for you!
Keep going!!! It is worth it. I know the cravings suck, the withdrawals suck and the emotional roller coaster is also on the "things that suck" list!!!
Just know with time it does get better day by day after this first initial week. Please keep us posted and be strong honey!
You will be in my thoughts and prayers!

Quitting is really tough and takes alot of self control but can be done. I am now on day 18 of being off vicodin cold turkey and I feel like a brand new person. The restless aching legs were the absolute worse for me. I went for about 5 nights of almost no sleep due to them and 5-7 hot baths a day. The best thing I personally found to deal with the legs was hot baths, alternating Ibuprofen and Tylenol and Alieve, and the best thing was HylanRAB Restless Legs and HylanRAB Leg Cramps, both sold almost anywhere. I got mine at Walmart and Walgreens. The leg cramp ones actually have Quinine which helped amazingly.
It's a rough few days but so worth it in the end when the pills no longer control you.
Best of luck to you and your fiance.

end of day 3. i had to be out of the house all day long and ate immodiums like candy. i feel so ill now that im home... ate a salad 4 dinner, lord knows why, and now feel so sick. gonna try to not take immodiums for the night so my body can do what it wants and then take them tomorrow if i need to, but i think tomorrow i have nothing to do, so maybe i wont take them. i dont know what's better.
i know my sleep tonight will be awful... big trigger running my erranRAB earlier as it leaRAB me right into where i can obtain pills... but i didn't. so, that's a little victory.
besides that, i wish i wasn't so tired and so sick feeling. i almost feel like i could throw up. hopefully that doesnt make it on the list of things "to do" over the next few days.
off 2 watch tv.

thank you so much for getting back to me. thanks for the med tips. and congrats on the 18 days. that's so great! do you still get cravings? im sure you must... but the bad body feeling are gone, right? it's just in the mind now?
im really erabarrassed to say i already slipped. we found a few of my fiances percocets... we thought they were done but he had a few left in a different med bottle. so i took 2 10/325. my daily dose is usually 8 to 10 a day... sometimes more, rarely less. anyhow - i just couldnt pass it up after the day before doing over 10 and pulling an all nighter mixing them with coke. bad i know... dangerous corabo but once i was high on pills, i had no willpower. what a mess.
so i have to start my day 1 tomorrow. i searched the house and i know there are no drugs here officially, besides pot, which i probably smoke 1x a month or two. I use to be a big pot head in college, but i'm totally over it now. funny how things change, and not always for the better.
so, off to start day 1 tomorrow. gosh what a bad impression to leave on a bunch of new people im asking for support from. i hope you guys will still give me suggestions and support. i will still continue to post my progress. thanks so much everyone.

hi all:wave:
so today is my day 1 AGAIN , after ruining my Day 1 yesterday, im erabarrassed to say. doing ok so far.... very tired. but i feel strong today. had good energy when i woke up, i guess cause i only took like 1/5 of my normal dose last night.
not really craving it.... but i do feel bored. however, i rented a movie for us to watch "Food, Inc" and American Idol is tonight!
so, that should keep me busy. gotta few other shows that are on tonight that should keep me going til i fall asleep.
could someone please confirm that it really is OK to take 4 or 5 immodiums at once. And then when can u re-dose? I read the sticky, but i get nervous taking meRAB i dont usually take (funny isn't that)... with w/d? i have no problems with these drugs. i think i read somewhere that some rehab places will give Soma to people detoxing from percocets etc. if i dont hear back, i may take the soma tonight, just to see (i dont have the energy to go and get the products debdeb listed, but will try i hope tomorrow.
thanks for reading.

gee i felt pretty strong until like 15 min ago. sun's going down, which is, besides the mornings, my favorite time to use. but this time of day forward is always the hardest to resist.
i hate this and it's only day 1 and i know i have so many bad days ahead of me. i just have to keep my eyes on the prize. i just feel that craving in my chest and down my arms. ugh. awful. what a mess i've gotten myself into. and to top it off, im recently unemployed (nothing to do with drugs, purely company closing due to economy) so i have so much free time on my hanRAB....
blah. gonna try and go to bed early to help sleep some of this off. i keep really crazy hours (up until VERY late at night) and that's not going to do me any good for the next week.
