Getting off painkillers part 2

How I beat my addiction to pain killers. One thing I did not mention was that towards the end of my tapering, those tiny pieces of vicodin would make me feel so incredibly good. This, I believe, is most likely a primary cause of relapse.

@ItsNOYFB thanx for the concern mudflap. Maybe someday you'll be able to spell. I understand feeling happy is most important though. Satisfy your most immediate needs and have fun playboy.

hey so i have a question i have been using subutex...a very strong opiate... for a few months and i have three left... if i break them into small pieces and taper down with that woul that work?

[alcoholic714]

I don't think so. I don't know what that is. My guess would be you can't taper a very strong opiate. It has to be weaker like vic 5s

I just made it thrugh my first night with out any Vicodin...I was on Methadone and oxycodone for a year and a half for pain. I have no outlet but I want to quit. I have heart disease and I weaned my self from 30 mg methadone to 60 vicodin in a week. I tapered down to one vicodin a day.How long can I expect the poops and the jumping out of my skin to last?

Once you're down to one vic a day you have to start breaking them into pieces. Subtracting a 16th every 3 to 4 days. Withdrawals have no set time period. They will come and go in a very fickle manner. Your body will throw temper tantrums to get you to go back up in dose. You must resist the temptation, otherwise you will relapse. Unfortunately with a heart condition you are walking a very thin tight rope. Be very careful. You may have to consult a doctor.

@caddy1010 Yeah, ever see that BBC video of the American soldier in the middle of a poppy field in Afgh. explaining how they help grow and transport the opium?

coming from sum1 who has gone thru overcoming withdrawls from opiates & having 2 do it multiple times due 2 relapses after i got better & thought i could use again without getting sick or strung out again, My best advice is try 2 find something weak like tramadol & take 4 awhile when u stop oxy or whatever ur on, & take only a small amount so u dont feel so restless & do it until u start feelin better, then stop taking those as well. & most important SMOKE LOTS OF WEED!!!

@bonghitsandbigtits No, you need months to taper. I'd be interested to know what you did a year ago after you posted this

[Stillwater900]

You're right, its a huge misconception that detox is about cleansing "toxins", when its about reregulating your endogenous opioid system, your body's own natural opioids. If the toxins made you feel bad, how come it only makes you sick when you STOP taking them?? Opioids are actually non toxic in the first place, theres no organ damage from them. The ONLY thing that truly helps is excercise, eg Runners High. Thats why you feel good after jogging
