REPORT

I need help. I need to be off of percs completely. I am so ashamed of myself and where I am with addiction at this point in my life. I use 20 mg daily. Never even knew about this until about a year ago. I will readily accept any suggestions. I'm ruining the body God gave me. I have to be clean, healthy and strong for the two terminally ill family members I care for. I'm scared and always fail during withdrawal. I HAVE to work every day as well. God bless everyone fighting this awful fight.

Hello, my name is Andrew.
I was recently taking percocets for 1 year. 30mg everyday

I made a bad move and 1 day just said I'm done no more.

I stopped cold turkey. Was the worst feeling in my life.

This is hard to explain but the main problem was the pressure/tension that was in my arms.

Mainly in the upper bicep area and forearm.

I felt like I just wanted to grab something tight and squeeze and scream.

It stresses me out so much and keeps me up night after night.

Anyway I went to the doctors, he gave me butrans patch 20mg every hour.

Also gave me clonodine and trazadone to help me sleep.

Things felt good and getting better.

2 weeks on the patch I decided I want to take this off so I don't get hooked to this.

Next thing I know I'm having withdrawls from the butrans patch now.

Back to the doctors again he gave me higher dosage of clonodine and trazadone as well as he gave me baclofen for the pressure tension in my arms. First day I took the baclofen I slept good but the pain and achy ness in arms etc was a lot.

When I took it I felt paralyzed.

I have been on baclofen trazadone and clonodine for 1 week now.

I have been off percocets for around 25 'days now and off butrans patch for around 7 days.

My question is, when I stop taking clonodine trazadone and baclofin will I be having withdrawls from these also?

Also, does anyone know what and how to cure this pressure tension in my arms

It is untolerable and I only get it while laying down I'n the night. Keeps me up I cannot sleep.

Please any help is appreciated.

How Long will this butrans withdrawl last?

Thank you

Hey everyone, it gets better I promise! I'm doing it old fashioned and weaning. Yesterday was worse day thus far, and I realized (percs make u forgetful) that I hadn't taken any!!! I'm down to 5mg's a day. Keeping busy, already on clonidine for htn, so it's not too bad. From upto 50+mg aday for over 5 years to this is almost sucess. I AM doing this, and suceeding. YOU CAN TOO!!!! Keep up the good fight people, as I'm praying for you. ;)

Wow this actually made me cry!! I am on day 15 of perk withdraw and I can relate to you so much. I used to feel the same way had to have pills to get up in the morning they made me so happy but when they started not working on the pain I decided to stop cold turkey! Today I am so tired I'm on the couch. I feel for you I just know that getting off percs is your only chance at freedom. That's what is keeping me going today.

What should I do? I have no idea if people still read this, or give advice. I want you all to know what I'm goin' through and maybe I help someone out. I've been livin' reckless since I was 15. I'm now 21bro and I realize I'm not a kid anymore. I started off smokin' alot of cannabis. Maxin' out at 15 blunts a day for 3 years straight. :/ at age 19 my and my girlfriend of 4 years, broke up. That's when I was introduced to other drugs. I would spend 4,000 a week on coke. I'm not bulls***tin'. I don't come from a wealthy family, I'm Hispanic. I can't explain how I was gettin' that kind of money, because at the time I was facin' prison time. This went on for about 3 months. From 10/11 to 1/12. Around 4/12 I started usin' percocet 30. Boy did they make me feel complete. Since then I have been addicted. I know I have a problem, I just cant seem to beat it! My mother is a Christian, and I feel as though she's slowly losin' faith in me. That my friends is the lowest feeling possible, thats at least what I thought. I'm just 21 guys, and I've already let my mother down. I've gone from usin' 15 30s a day from 6/12 to 12/12. That was my last straw, well thats what I thought. Secretely, I was still hooked. I was usin' "only" 6 30s a day. What I'm tryin' to tell you guys is that this lifestyle is no joke. I dont wish this on nobody. This past September 9/2013. I lost my grandma, and my bestfriend. My grandma had 2 strokes while recoverin' from surgery, and my bestfriend? He overdosed on H. :( he was 22 years old. A year older than me. I felt this was a wake up call. Losin' 2 people that mean the world to you, it has to be. Guess what, at both of their funerals I was so numb, high as hell of percocet. I'm cryin' right now typin' this. Im so lost. Im sorry I typed so much, I've just never let it out.

Jo, if you are seriously looking to get off the percs, my advice is see a Dr and say be honest with what u take and they will give you meds that will make it easier cause at that amount you take I know the withdrawals will be very painful any Dr will help you, if you dont get the help now the path gets worse youre life will end from the evil of addiction. Good luck to you, Jmari

I've read a lot of comments on here and haven't seen anyone taking as much as I do. I was wondering if anyone had any information on an estimate on how long it would be until I get my energy back. My habit hasn't been very long but it has been about a year. On a typical day I do anywhere from 10 to 15 perc 30's a day. Its consuming all of my time and my money and really want to get off of them. I've quit before for 4 days but had absolutely no energy still so I went back on them. I'm only 19 years old and haven't told my parents anything about it and want to get clean before they find out. If anyone has any idea how long it would take for me to get some energy back after I quit cold turkey would be greatly appreciated because the big unknown factor and terror of my parents finding out if keeping me from stopping. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

You are addicted and you need to stop taking them. I have a family member that was addicted to them for more than 12 years. If she was reading your post she would beg you to quit and tell you the hell she went through and what addiction cost her .. her jobs, her home, her belongings, her car, her children and for quite some time .. her mother. PLEASE, stop taking them before you lose all these things.

It depends on each person. Please I am a 42 yr old who does not even do nearly as much but as a mother I want to be able to raise my son sober... You may need medical help with the amount you have taken and then try quitting cold turkey ... Do u have the will power to taper??? Cut dosage down little by little...please don't be like me... U are a young kid who will lose everything to this demon... You really need to want it...

Can u share how you were able to taper to such a low level so quickly? Did you have any withdrawals? If so, how and what did you feel like? I am a mother of a 3 year old and am looking to stop but tapering is the way I need to go as no one knows of my problem plus I need to be there for my son... Thank you for your help.

This is Jo again, I have been clean for 5 days. I know some might roll their eyes at this, but to me its a huuuuge steo forward. To that girl that asked how it felt from 100 mg to 20mg I cant answer that cuz I went from over 300mg down to 120mg. But I will say its a difficult process! These last two weeks I cut down to 15mg a day. Until about last Wednesday. Since then I havent touched one. It will get better friends. Im tryin' to get clean for good!! So when I make it a month I will re post. And if I f*** up along tha way I will let yall know. To tha 19 year old guy askin' for advice, my email is {edited for privacy}

Bro bro, you may think you're alone but your not. I came into this message board seekin' advice, and I realized how badd and evil this lil blue thing is! If you had read my comment you will see I was doin' basically what you're doin' right now. What gets to me is that you're 2 years younger than me bro!! Its easy right now, because we feel as though our whole life us ahead of us. We have no kids or no worries. But slowly time creeps up on you. When I was your age, I'd think Oo this isnt gonna hurt me. Im just gonna do it for a couple weeks and then im done. Thats not how it works though. Slowly you lise everyone you care about, you start doin' stuff you never would do growin' up. Like when I was in my teens, I'd tell myself. Im never gonna put nothin' up my nose. And guess what brah, I did. Now its im never gonna IV anythin'!! But after pills its H cuz and you will realize thats too late to change. I wish I could leave my number, but thats a lil weird. Hit me up tho, we can do this together.

Hey jo congrats on doing as well as you are keep it up man. I've been reading as your updating looking for advice and trying to find answers. The post with your email for me to respond to got blocked for privacy so I can't see the email. But on my bad days I do up to 450mg and on good days about 240mg. Everything I get is black market so you know how exspensive its getting. Somehow I've managed to keep my parents from finding out so far but its only a matter of time and want to stop before that happends. Everytime I stop cold turkey for two sometimes three days they always bombard me with multiple jobs and I have no energy and feel like s*** so I end up starting again. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm not a bad kid I've just always liked getting f***ed up and before my habit got this bad I was an electrician for 5 years working sometimes up 100 hours a week.
