Okay, I wrote my first post yesterday concerning my situation. Its almost 7:00 a full 36 hours since my last 3 vics. (I was eating up to 7.5's a day for about 6 months, but Ive been taking them for about 2 years--finally getting to the 20 a day the last six months) Here's my question... Today hasnt been HORRIBLE. In fact I've been up and out of the house. (I don't work) Doing normal things....like having my SUV detailed, picking up my daughter and running her around after school....being able to tolerate the LOUD music....actually eating some....okay yall get it. Well, trust me, its not good but its tolerable. NOw, when is it gonna hit full force? I know that this isnt the worst! NO way shape or form could it be. I've been out for a day or two in the past due to pharmacy's and I remember the pain....so what has happened? I will say that leading up to the pharmacy finding out I have been off the vics since the first of the month, see I ran thru 80,60,60,90 in a matter of a week or so, ya know 20+ a day goes fast...so then I started using Ultram to get me thru till I could get more vics...then I'd get like 30 which would last me like 1 day and 1/2....yall get the picture....could this be causing my body to not be in such shock (i.e. no real horrible w/d's yet" )? I almost called the sub doc in my area today but after reading all about the sub I just NEED to do this on my own. God Willing anway...so there is a NA meeting here in town at 8:00 and Im going to try and go. Anyway....thanks for anybody that responds and this board is wonderful, I never knew so many of us were around.
S, I have the same problem until I came on board. - Check out my posts. I taken only 2 so far today – I get up at 5:00am. –that is pretty good considering I was taking them like you. I made so many contacts that it was no problem for me to get my hands on them for a BIG price. If you are doing good on 3 that is great. There is one person on here that has helped immensely as well as others.
You have to want it. Or else you’re FIRED –sorry I watch too much TV.
I don't post a lot, but I saw yours and had to touch base with you. The same thing happened to me. I just take 5-6 a day, but have had withdrawal before. I felt wretched for days and days. Two weeks ago i ran out from just being greedy and stupid. I braced for a ride... but nothing much happened. Kind of like a headcold. Maybe it was a headcold. Then after 4 days I got a refill. I could kick myself. I want to stop taking these. Let me know how you are doing. I am just about out again and know I have to quit before I fall completely into the dark pit. Your post is an encouragement to me. I hope all is going well for you and that we both can stop this wicked little pill.
Hey Guys~Okay--HOw somebody would get encouragement from me is mindblowing....but you both have NO idea how much your posts mean to me. I read each post with horror...thinking okay, im gonna get to the part where they tell me the hell they paid at day 4 or 5....this is the FIRST time I have been completely out for longer than say 12 hours. I mean, Ive been out of the vics but I had something to throw down my throat like darvs, or butalbital, ultram, ultracet...yall know what I mean and Im still waiting....I keep telling myself I know this isnt the worst of it, I've had the horrible leg cramps and aching head and the runs from hell before....but ALWAYS had a doc's appt. that got me thru. Man, the pharmacist was BRUTAL. It was everything I always envisioned it would be. I knew it was coming, I mean you cant NOT get caught when you are seeing at least 10 docs and using every freakin drug store in town and within a 50 mile radius. Jeezzz, Im lucky Im not in jail. Its 7:25 and the meeting is at 8:00....it feels good to talk about this even here....NOBODY here at home has a clue of whats been going on. Thanks so much everybody~
S, we are here for you. Go to the meeting - I would like to hit one down the road. To be able to talk with people in person. You could say I am one of those people persons. Let us know how the meeting went. t
