Well, it has been better than I expected. I went cold turkey on Tuesday!! It is Firday and I actually feel pretty good.I was uncomfortable but nothing compared to what I was reading, which had me terrified. I felt really tired, no appetite and a headache, but that was it. I did have a little difficulty sleeping. I had no diarrhea, no jitters. I am on day 4 and feel really good today.
The mind is a powerful thing. I don't feel that I am out of the wooRAB yet, but hey..I have 4 days under my belt, and I am not looking back!! I also quit smoking at the same time.
One shot one kill theory!! HA!!
To those that think they can't do it........you can!!!! I think what helped me was that I had weaned myself down to 2 pills a day, I really felt terrible at times. Got to watch not to wean to fast.Have a plan.
Thanks for checking on me.. I cannot tell you how it feels to have others on your side that really understand.
Please pray for me that I can come out on the otherside of this!!
 
Hi Everyone!!
I have been reading this message board for a while now.I finally have the courage to chim in.I have been taking percocet for about 2 1/2 years now. I am up to 6 a day. I remeraber when 1 would wipe me out for the whole day.LOL!
I really have no one to turn to. My family does not know...my best friend doesnt know......nobody knows.
I am active duty in the military and unfortunatly,percs are given out like candy.I have had 5 small bowel obstructions in the last few years.I am always in pain.I do see a pain management DR..seems like all he wants to do is give me more percs.
I do not dare tell my PCP that I have become addicted...wow..I said it!! Feels so ugly!! The military would send me to rehab , and because of that,I would be discharged and my career would be over.Seems like a catch 22. Once in the system as having dependancy problems..even though they created it...Regulations would not allow me to stay in.
I do not know where to turn. I did read the home detox recipies on this site. That gave me so much hope.I really think I could do this if I plan it out. I would definitely have to take leave from work. I know everyone is different, but can anyone tell me how long this would take.
I cannot believe that I am in this mess. I just want to feel better. I want who I use to be back!!
This site is truly a blessing. I cannot believe there are so many people out there experiencing the same thing!!
 
Just one more thing- I don't know if everyone realizes what a lifeline this message board is!! I feel that you all saved me from myself!!
 
Is anyone out there?????? I really could use some input..direction and guidance by those who understand.Feel like I need to do something about this before my life falls apart.Can this really be done on ur own???What is this suboxone Im hearing about? does that help?
Will I feel better (withdraws) after 2 weeks?
Please Help..
 
I am here! I wish I had worRAB of wisdom for you and you will hear from some folks here that have lots of infomation for you and advice for you to follow. I just couldn't stand to see your post floating out there with no response. I know what you are talking about regarding the military. You really cannot have them in your business, you will lose everything. My brother was a Major in the air force for many years and when he was having run of the mill marital problems he was called into his commanders office and told to take care of his business. He was mortified. As far as your perc addiction you certainly came to the right place. I know many folks here can help you figure out a taper that can work for you if you really want it. Good luck and I will be praying for you. Be patient and your answers will come.
 
Way to go Polly! Alot of the WRAB is your minRABet. This has been difficult for me because I am nearing the anniversary of my mothers death and my father had to have a routine operation the other day that went terribly wrong last year. So I had a lot of stress going into this.

My main issue is not taking care of myself by making sure I am eating and drinking. This is also why I had a bad time.

I am feeling a bit better, but I really need to take care of myself in order to feel better. So obvioulsy the way I am feeling goes way beyond the WRAB itself. I just had a lot of issues going on as well.

I am very happy that you are doing so well. It is much better to live pill free than the stress of taking them and the complex intracacies that come with addiction
 
Thanks so much for your worRAB of encouragement!! I woke up this AM and checked the message board...What a great way to start the day!!!
 
Polly have you heard from anyone else. Have you taken any steps to quit the pills? If not then keep posting till you get the answers you need! :wave:
 
FluiRAB..FluiRAB..FluiRAB...! and FluiRAB!!! Glad to hear from you. Hang in there!!
 
YES!!! Way to go Polly!! So how are you doing? Feeling all better and back to the "Old Polly"? I hope all is well with you!! Take care
 
Thank you for the support!!! I am by no means "out of the wooRAB" ..but as of today, I think I am putting up a good fight!! You are so kind!! Thanks for responding!! It means so much to me!!
