Withdrawals are like the worse case of the flu you have ever had.

Running out early, buying them, those are red flags which show have a severe addiction which may be difficult to quit without help.

The best way to do it is to gradually wean from those but most addicts can't do it that way and have to go through a hospital detox for a few days to help them out so they can be monitored.

Stopping cold turkey can be dangerous. You could get seizures. It is best to stop those, only under a doctor's supervision.

I had a addiction over a 3 years period. I had to keep increasing the amount to continue to get that high. I thought I needed it to get me through the day at work which was a high stressed job.

Eventually my body couldn't tolerate the amount I was taking which was 5 at 10 miligrams each, 3 times a day, and I ended up in the hospital with renal failure. I almost died!

I hope you quit now because the longer you are on those, the more difficult it will be to get off them. Your problem will continue to esculate out of control until you put the brakes on!

It will do to you, what it does to everybody over time and I hope you don't do that to your kids! They will be devastated!

We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers!

God Bless!

I have said this many, many times. I would rather have a broke limb along with menstrual cramps and a headache than to have pill sickness or withdrawals. It is the worst imaginable feeling or it is to me however. I am not trying to have a pissing contest but with what you are taking, it wouldn't have even took my pill sickness away.
The day that I came clean and told my husband that I am a addict, I was up to 15 pills a day. I am not saying that you should take more because I took so many and I am fine now. I am fine now, because i STOPPED taking all of that mess.

Suboxone saved my life. Period. Did you take 500mg of Oxy because as far as I know they only go up to 80mg a piece? Unless they have came out with something new and since I have been off the pill market for 2 years and 5 months now, I don't keep up with it. I would definitely look into some type of addiction treatment.
The Suboxone treatment is expensive but with the amount of money you are spending on doctor for the ones you are prescribed and then the ones you are buying, you will just about even out.
Just the mg of Oxy alone would take care of the monthly and part of the medication. I know around here they used to be a 1.00 a mg.
There is also a difference between dependence and addiction. Sit down and figure out if it is actually addiction or if you are dependent on the drugs.
Addiction causes destructive behavior. I stole, sold whatever I could, lied my ass off and ER hopped four times a week to get whatever I could find out there.
I abused them all from Tramadol to Perocet. My drug of choice was a few Tramadol mixed with SOMA. This is a deadly combination but at the time I didn't care.
The line that you typed about being new to addiction and don't know what to expect leads me to believe that you have a dependance. People that are addicted know they are but don't want to admit it. I didn't want to come out and say that I was addicted until I was ready. I did it on my own, no interventions here. I seen that the 15 pills I was taking everyday was headed towards heroin and it scared me.
I knew once I started IV drugs my life would take a dark change. Dependency on drugs is easier to deal with because you can just taper off, you will have mild withdrawals and some have none. My husband can have no withdrawals at all if he had pills every day of the week. Addiction is another monster altogether. Do some research on Google on the difference between the two first. If you come to the conclusion that it is definitely Addiction, find either a Suboxone doctor or Methadone clinic. I don't recommend Methadone because some have alot of trouble getting off of it.
There is a really good documentary called Methadonia you can find that talks about it. HBO has a good one as well you can watch online. You will have to Google it, I dont have the address handy.

Find some help somewhere, find someone close by to talk to and get this out in the open and deal with it. It will never get better if you don't get this out.

sounds like a ton of tylenol to me. the 3 vicodin have 975mg of tylenol. plus the percocet has 325. thats 1300mg of tylenol. 500 oxycodone i found was 5/500. that means another 500mg of tylenol. thats 1800mg of tylenol. i have liver issues and i would never take that much tylenol. the actual amount of narcotic would b. vicodin,15mg of hydrocodone, percocet is oxycodone so u have 15mg of oxycodone. both opioids. i weigh 170 and have a high tolerance. 30-35 mg of opioids will fuck me up. about once. the next day i would need more for the same result. a yr ago i had my last extravaganza. 15mg morphines. i ate them like candy and realized "no more". i would eat 45mg and forget how many i took. my stash didnt last long. clean since. pissed me off that i fell into that trap. i bought a bunch of oxycodones earlier in the yr and even though i refrained as much as i could because they contain tylenol. they got ate like candy too. opioids will grab u by the throat and own u
