Kasey!

I am very concerned..... When a pill user finRAB out they are pregnant they are NOT supposed to quit cold turkey as that can lead to miscarriage. I can't express to you more that you should be seeking medical attention right now. Take this from someone who desperatly wants to have a baby and has gone thru a couple of loses while trying.... Get some help on this! Can you imagine the guilt you would feel if you lost this baby because of your drug addiction. Is that something you can handle? I don't mean to scare you, I just want to let you know the seriousness of this situation.

Please keep us posted!!!!! I wish you nothing but the best and you will be in my prayers!
Blessings and hang in there.
 
Hi Kasey,

I agree profusely with Secrets. Going cold turkey while you're pregnant is a very bad idea. You unborn baby could go through withdrawals as well and that may cause you to miscarry.

You need to seek a doctors advice here, Kasey. You are doing the right thing by getting off the pills - however, you need to do a slow, gradual taper, of course with time being of the essence. Your doctor will give you a safe taper, for both you and your baby.

Good luck! My daughters and I will add you to our prayers tonight.

Sincerely,
emsmom
 
hi kacey, i to am and was a percocet lover for 7yrs and went to rehab and relapshed that was 3yrs ago, then i went to the rapid detox in florida and wow it was almost painless to say the least but expensive but unfortunately i relapsed again 3mth later and after awhile i was introduced to oxys..(1st of all i was taking between 25-30 perc a day back then)oxys became my best friend for a yr then last week i decided to end it all and stop, i was ready, i dont think i was ready before but something is different this time, i am so ready, so what i did was i did a "at home detox", i stoped the oxys completely and took percocet when if felt withdrawals then i decided to change my choice of drug cause percs got me in trouble in the first place so a friend gave me some morphine which i do not like to get me through last wk and slowly reducing is working for me..my life doesnt centre around drugs anymore, i have no cravings nor do i even want to take anything but i know that withdrawing is not fun, i did it once cold turkey and i would die first before i would do that again, but for me this tapering is working for me, i am almost done and feeling very excited but also very aware of that little devil on my shoulder as well , but u have to want to quit to be successful for you and you only and your body will tell u when u r ready, well aleast mine did, one morning i woke up and thought thats it i am so done with drugs, it consumed my life everyday, everyminute, horriable, but i dont get that anymore, i kinda feel free now already, what a feeling of joy but i know enough that relpase is also very easy and can happen so fast, but being aware and having a good support is all up to u kacey, hey if i can do it anyone in the world can do it...wishing the best of luck and will be thinking of u..let me know how your doing...
 
Hello everyone...my name is kasey and i've been searching around online for people who have gone threw percocet addiction and quitting cold turkey. I've been taking them for 4 yrs and It started by 3 or 4 10mgs a day and now i take 6 or 7 30mg roxys..I want to quit cold turkey and Im not sure what to expect. I feel like I might not be strong enough to go with it. Tried once before and I made it to the second day and couldn't take it anymore. I relapsed. Please can someone give me advice and help me get threw this. I do have my boyfriend who's gonna stand by my side threw all of this but hes never experienced any drug problems before.
 
take what pills if any you have left and give them to your boyfriend. When you can't take the sweats, the crawling skin or other feelings of withdrawal, have him give you one. Also have on hand Immodium because the runs will start. Dramamine helps with the nasaea but CHECK WITH YOUR DOC if you are preg
 
Well......going cold turkey from that amount will definitely be hard!! 180 - 210 mgs of Oxy is nothing to sneeze at! Is there any way you can taper yourself off of them?? I don't know how to correctly taper.....but to do it with the least amount of withdrawal I'd say cut back by 10mgs or so every 5 days...if you have the pills to do it. Otherwise it's tough, but do-able---I wish you the best of luck!! Even if you can taper to less of an amount first before going cold turkey, I'd do it---the less amount taken daily will lessen the WD's by that much more.

Keep posting here-----writing does help!!

Hello Kasey

That is a pretty high amount of opaite to come off of cold turkey in any circumstances. The withdrawal will be overwhelming, in all honesty.

I think before any plan is made, it must first be ascertained whether or not you are pregnant. What we can withstand as adults is far different than what a fetus can withstand.

I always advise coming clean with a doctor and setting up a program of withdrawal with him. If a pregnancy is involved, then there are just no questions about it... you must withdraw under a doctor's care. Doctors don't have us arrested or anything like that. They have heard the same story lots of times. We tell our story with full honesty and we get the best help possible in geting off the drugs.

Get that pregnancy test done and then your options will be clearer.

Best wishes

Hey Kasey!

Welcome to the board! I agree with the PP. Is there any way you can taper versus quitting Cold Turkey? That is a high dose to drop off of and I think the w/d would be pretty intense and therefor the odRAB of relapsing could be higher. HOWEVER, there are some people who have pulled this off and I COMMEND THEM! I personally have always tried to taper. However, I have gone thru Cold Turkey a few times but not by choice. For me, tapering works much better because the memories of cold turkey w/d are ones I hold close to keep me sober.

Sometimes I think that memory is the most helpful and that is why a lot of people will say GO FOR the CT because it kind of teaches you a lesson of what not to do again. So........ really, the choice is yours and I am so glad to hear your boyfriend will be right by your side along the way. Support is KEY! I have been thru w/d a few times where I had to hide it and it was horrible pretending I had the worst flu in the world and I would have killed to have had some support! So good for you. That is great.

Please update us and know we are here for you. YOU CAN DO THIS. ONE WAY OR ANOTHER!

Blessings!
