Hi Everyone,
Well tomorrow is the big day! I am going to go cold turkey and be done with this addiction once and for all. I think I got all the meds that I need, to help me get through this nightmare.
I got very lucky and didn't have to go through my doctor to get the medication, so I didn't have to tell him anything about my addiction. I was reading a post that DVC had written to someone, and in his post he had mentioned that he went to several people for help, including, his Psychiatrist. So, I decided to go that route because my Psychiatrist is already aware of my addiction, and I know he would be willing to help me. He insist that my addiction is contributing to my depression and has told me on several occasions that he would like to see me get off the percocets so the antidepressents can do thier job. So, in the end, he wrote me 6 prescriptions to help with the withdrawls.
These are the prescriptions that he gave me:
Motrin 800 mg for pain,
Clonidine HCL 0.1 mg for blood pressure,
Bentyl 20mg for abdominal cramps,
Tigan for nausea & vomiting
Trazodone 50 mg for sleep.
Hey gang, please tell me if these are going to help me with the withdrawls and if anyone has any other suggestions, please let me know. Oh one more thing, I called and asked my regular doctor to call me in a refill for my Soma and Ambien, so that can be added to my list. If you guys can think of anything that helped you or I didn't list, I am open for suggestions.
This has been a long trying road for me, and hopefully I will finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. This is going to be the hardest and scariest thing I have ever faced and I need all the support I can get right now. The funny thing about all of this is, I don't know why I am so scared. Maybe its this crazy thought in the back of my mind, that the withdrawls are going to kill me. Does anyone know if this can happen? Can anyone described what day 1, day 2,
day 3 and day 4 is going to be like? Maybe I would feel better if I knew what I was going to go through.
I would appreciate any input that you guys could give me. I would also like to thank you for all the support that you guys have shown me. I have never needed the support like I need now, and you guys already got me through one hurdle, can you help me get through this one?
God Bless & Thank You,
