HOW LONG to PERCOCET/OXY WITHDRAWALS LAST FOR?
Question by KJ22: HOW LONG TO PERCOCET/OXY WITHDRAWALS LAST FOR?
I have done my research on opiate addiction and when pain killers become dangerous. I have read everything from books to magazines to internet research. I went to whole foods and did a huge shopping for things such as:
Fresh fruits, smoothie drinks, spinach, FIJI water (def helps more than regular water), electrolyte powder to add to water, green tea, apple cider vinegar, yogurt, nyquil, benedryl, Epsom salts, b-complex vitamin, multi vitamin, fish oil supplements, soap with ph balance in it, emergen-c and easy to make meals.
Day 1 wasn’t so bad I started getting the chills and out of body feeling. I already suffer from anxiety, this is just making it 100x worse. I took a valium with a bowl of cereal and smoothie at breakfast along with my other vitamins. It definitely helped somewhat.
Day 2 I did the same. I forced myself to go to the market and out for ice cream with a friend even though I really didn’t want to. I feel absolutely EXHAUSTED. I am keeping the fluids going. I am having horrible cravings but keep telling myself I have made it this far- do not turn back!
I believe support systems are important, I really only have 2 good friends who understand but they have crazy work schedules so it is difficult for them to be here for me. My family just sucks no other way to put it. They make me want to cave it and do just one more pill but I am trying my absolute best to not give in!
-I am also keeping a daily journal to keep track of my feelings and what I am taking and doing. Hopefully this helps for whenever I think about getting another pill. Suboxone is offered at many places which I have taken once before but had an allergic reaction to. I think the doctor honestly gave me too much BUT if this gets worse and not better I may try to give it another shot but a quarter of a strip. I would really like to do this naturally and cold turkey but it is the hardest thing I have EVER been through. It is mental and physical. It is hell. I’m trying to see the light at the end of the tunnel but I can’t. I am truly giving it my all I really really am….

Will I Become Addicted to Methadone?
Question by MarciKent: Will I become addicted to methadone?
I want to get clean, but am scared of the detox pain. I have been doing enough heroin to become sick if i don’t do any; everyday for about two months now. I want to use methadone to ease the dope sick but I do not want to replace the heroin addiction with methadone addiction. How many doses of methadone can i take before becoming addicted and needing the methadone everyday? I know the withdraw symptoms from heroin will last 3 to 5 days tops. I’m thinking of taking a small dose of methadone for only 4 days then stopping. That way I will not feel the dope sick but will not become addicted again, right? Please only informed experienced answers. I already hate myself for putting myself in this position. I don’t need any judgmental or hateful comments.
