Answer 1

I don't think you're going to go through nightmare withdrawals because you slowly cut back on the medication. Also you were not taking this medication for years.

if you feel uncomfortable here's 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 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,

Answer 2

Lorcet with-drawls aren't as bad as Oxy. And you did the right thing by weening yourself off of them. Since it's been three days and you haven't had any symptoms yet, you may not have any at all. Good luck, and good job. When I went off of Percocets after 2 years, I didn't have any with-drawl symptoms at all. I guess I was real lucky or strong willed. There is one thing you can do to flush it from you system, drink a lot of water.

Answer 3

If you havent taken any in 2 or 3 days, you're not addicted and are not going to go through any withdrawal. You've already stopped. Taking a pain pill every so often when you hurt is no big deal. In any case, you never really took that much anyway. Two a day isn't a lot, although you took it for a long time. You're fine.
