I have cancer and started taking these mess two years ago for my headaches. I went from taking 1 or 2 at a time to 20-30 a day. My doctor cut me off about 6 months ago bc he thought i was becoming addicted. So I began hospital shopping and buying them off the street. 4 days ago I took a total of 37 hydros in 10hrs and decided to quit. It was ruining my life. So now that I'm on day 4 it seems a little better. I'm still sweating, not sleeping, screaming at everyone, crying for no reason and at times durin the day I can't even move. I'm 25 and my parents want to put me in rehab... But I feel like I made it to day 4 and it can only get better right? Please help!:confused: I had an old script for Xanax and ive been taking them to help the anxiety.
 
in my opinion you should listen to your parents and enter a rehab center. Your doctor should have helped you through this instead of just refusing to renew your prescription and leaving you to suffer through the withdrawal alone. The staff at rehab centers have had special training in dealing with your kind of addiction in a way that will gradually get your body back to normal without having to go through the stress of "cold turkey" withdrawal. Please take advantage of these services! Best of luck! Mabent
 
I agree with mabent. Rehab is being offered to you and can certainly help with your recovery. Getting clean is only 15% of recovery. Staying clean is 85%. Believe me, the withdrawals is the easy part.
 
I could not agree more with everyone plz enter a rehab or at least consult with another doctor!! You may not believe this but the 6,7,or even 8th day could get a lot worse, you could even have a psychotic episode that's why you need to be around trained professionals.
 
Yep, if you are being given the opportunity to go to rehab, you are lucky and should def go!!!
 
I woud agree go seek professional help. However i detoxed on my own reading up on lots of threaRAB, and flushing my system with tons of vitamins, proteins, and gatorade every 4 hours, and l-tyrosine for energy. It can be done alone, but I would always say go to a doc over trying it yourself.

and yeah day 6, 7, 8, 9 might have some surprises for you.

I too am scared of doctors and rehab tho too, me personally because of finances, and taking time off work seems impossible (i have a mortgage to pay, I cant just up and go to a rehab centre, although ive always been curious about it and wish that i could go). im 35 by the way, and haha yeah, still afraid of docs.

its true, the post withdrawal stages of staying off are the hardest...I couldnt stay off, I lasted about 2 months, then I said "oh i feel fine ill try an oxy for old time sake, as a reward for getting clean" How stupid, now im going through it allover again. Id Take ur parents help

edit: i just re-read your post "37 hydros in 10 hrs, to nothing"! what a drop, thats dangerous if not monitored by a professional. pat on the back tho for makin it to day 4, OHHHH I hated day 4!!!!!!
 
Day 4 sucked way bad. Day 6..... I wanted to shoot myself. So I got some more vics. Only 20 of them and I've been taking like 2-4 a day. Everyone said I just fucked it up and started my hell over again. My parents aren't offering to put me in a place... They are telling me to go. I can't afford it and I have a little girl. Ugh!!! I remeraber a recovery pill addict telling me early on, that these little pills would steal my soul and I'd never be free... Even when I'm clean. Fuck. And the thing that sucks is I have cancer but it's not deadly yet... And may not be for a few years.... Why did I get addicted??? I'm bawling now!
 
yea man, its a tough go. Theres many more stories like ours coming, because oxys/hydros etc, are the popular drugs now in highschools!!! Its sad! there will be many kiRAB soon reaching their tolerances, and having to withdraw.

I feel ya on 'the addict telling ya how theyd get ya...." Iwas taking oxys, and my frienRAB who knew about them said to me when you gonna get off them? I laughed and said dudes I found my miracle drug! what do u mean get off?...they said bro, It creeps up on you, and grabs you when you dont expect, then youre hooked. I replied, "well I can quit now or in a month from now, Im choosing a month from now". But that made the drugs grip that much tighter, over time.

hmmmm... so you got some vicodins? those wont last forever eh...have you talked with a doc about suboxone treatment? Im not saying its good or not (i dont know never been on it) But your going to need something right so what r the options.

Youre not alone, there must be millions of people addicted to opiates in the world right now.. Just keep your head up and keep us posted...
