I just went in here thinking I would find some weird stuff and hopefully a relief and answers, I am going on day one and a half of being off 120 mg (cut up into 10mg each and chewed them) of oxy a day and when perks are here 1 an hour for like 5 hours at night for the past 18 months..Its amazing how quickly these can become so dependent on you the world is wonderful when you are on them when really it isnt.... I got to the point of taking them to work and only getting throu the day with them.. well the past 2 days there is none around so I am going throu my w.d pains.. I am having the cold/hotsweats bad!! thats my biggest symptom and alittle anxiety.. it was nice and reasuring to read some of these posting knowing I will get there.. I have 4 kids that need me and a full time job and I want to be a "normal" person again terribly.. I see people out and about and doing things and think how can they do things with out pills.. well I will take some advice and fly to the store and get the stuff that was listed as soon as I can.. I need anything I can get to help.. I cant just sleep it off, my kids need me soo I am just going to go on hoping I can stick it out and not get an urge. Any suggestions for the hot./cold sweats?

the beginning is extremely difficult and you feel like is there light at the end of the tunnel. Isn't there someone who can help you with the children because you are going to need more than a weekend to shake this. Did you tell anybody else about your addiction?

amb,
I know the concentration is pretty difficult. I'm not sure what you do for a living but maybe going back to soon might make you start all over again just to get through the day.

I actually have to call dr offices all day so I have to nice, its so hard to get my motivation to even pick up my phone.. im not depressed though i just dont feel like talking to any one.. but some people have been over today told my sister and one of my friends too so I feel alittle better that someone knows.. I guess my w/d isnt as bad as some peoples!:? I may just take a day off to relax and try to rest while my kids are in school tomorrow..

It sounds like your going to be okay. I'd definetly take that second day off. I'd hate to be on the other end of that phone if I caught you at the wrong moment. Take care and best of luck. It's alot better seeing your children through a whole new set of eyes. Trust me!
