Percocet withdrawel

[chefb377]

I was really bad for a while getting anything I can get my hanRAB on. Oxys, percs, rock 30's. But the last two months I really gave a serious effort into tapering down. I went 3 weeks in only taking 4 or 5 perc 5's a day. Then I had a 2 week stint taking 2mg of subs a day. I ran out of them and couldnt deal with the pain and am back to 4 or 5 perc 5's a day. I just cant get to zero. The torture of dealing with the insomnia and mild convulsions are killing me. What am I looking at if I just suck it up and go cold turkey? I will do it, but cant do it if its too long. Is there at least something I can take or do to dull the withdrawel?

Welcome to the group chefb - I was on Oxy also for a neck injury and I found out the hard way that the only way to detox is to taper down slowly. I had all of the w/d's also, even when I tapered (I tapered too fast in reality), so you need to taper down and not go cold turkey until you are down to much lower amounts. What dose of Percs are you taking? 5's, 10's? I tapered over a month and a half from 60 mg/day down to 2.5 mg/day before finally going cold turkey. When I finally went cold turkey I found that Valium helped with the last of the w/d's and I was able to sleep with some help using Unisom.

Make out a plan and follow it. It will be tough going, but you have to put your mind to it that you will detox and become clean. Then a whole new journey of staying clean will start. We'll help you along the way.

Good Luck and keep us informed.

like deon said valium, or just about any benzo will help , ask you doctor what they think , an to only give you enough for detox, i went from 5 5s a day to 4to 3 to 2 to 1 , it was 6 or 7 day taper , the worst was over after the first few days , i took the benzo my first night an every night for 7 days ya there is some disscomfort at lower amounts , just be glad your not tapering off 300mgs a day ,wich they say is alot tougher
