oxycodone detox no christians or brochure writers day 3?

Question

I'm on day three of cutting down to one in the morning and i swear to god it hurts like a mother. It is 5am and i am wide awake because I'm so restless. I was going to try cutting down to zero, i'd like to, but i don't want to feel like this even one more day. I am strong enough to continue one in the morning indefinitely unless i'm feeling like this during an important event like band practice or meeting my parents. my legs hurt even though i'm eating bananas. the valiums help me rest but i can't drive. i have the runs. I have a headache. i'm very lazy half the time. I have to go back to work now and that means a trip to the doctor first which I was going to put off for an extra week. my girlfriend is very anti drug and she's been putting up with my *** leaving messes everywhere and eating everything in sight and yelling at her. she thinks i've been taking none because every day i have to lie to myself to even just take one. I know in my mind I have more in the cabinet.

Answer 1

maybe slow down the rate you cut down - can you get into a methadone program?

because opioids slow down the digestive system the body tries to compensate when opioids are taken for a period of time. maybe some immodium/loperamide would help with the runs.

regular tylenol or advil might help with the pain - a bit at least

dude best of luck, it sucks now but you will be able to look back and know that this was the best decision you have made.

God bless

Answer 2

First let me state that I have been through withdrawal from both Valium and Hydrocodone so I know how terrible you are feeling. You have my empathy.

Keep tapering slowly, as you are. If you have enough to see you through for a while, try tapering very slowly. It takes months and probably years working it 'into' or bodies, our fatty tissues which build up in our bodies and it takes months for these chemicals to work out of our bodies as well.

Try taking Imodium which is over-the- counter in USA. It is actually a synthetic opiate - not very active psychically, but will ease you discomfort quite a bit as well as stop the runs. Be careful about how many Imodium you take. It's possible but unlikely you'll get addicted to these. Just don't keep using these forever. Tapering off of Imodim should be much easier but must be done as well.

Drink as much water or other liquids as you can and then drink a little more. Drink water more than what you feel you want it. Water content of the human body is about 75% so you need to flush it out continually.

Good Luck!

Answer 3

Here is what I suggest to get you over the worst part of the withdrawals.

To help with the withdrawals take hot bathes with 2c. of dissolved Epsom salts and soak for 30 minutes. The skin is the biggest organ of elimination and this will help pull out the drugs. Use a loofa to clean the pores and this will help pull the drugs out even faster.

I recommend you drink purified water mixed with mineral water 50/50. This will replace the minerals that are exiting your body continuously.

I suggest that adults and children drink 40 ounces of water per 100 pounds of body weight every day and 2c. a day of fresh carrot juice, to flush the medicine out of your liver. Taking 500mg of calcium and magnesium twice a day will help you to relax.

Drink chamomile tea throughout the day and evening to help you stay relaxed.

Use a powdered fiber supplement twice daily to pull the drugs out of your intestines where they can store.

Two of the questionnaires in this forum did follow this program to withdraw from drugs and it did help. I've enclosed a link where you can read their response to this program.

If you have any further questions please let me know,
