Question by : I really need help. Anyone know home remedies for a Suboxone Withdrawal?
My husband is on day 4 of almost a complete “cold turkey” detox. He was taking Suboxone 8mg film strips once a day for 4 months to fill the need of the Heroin he was shooting for the 6 months prior.
The first day wasnt so bad for him, he took nothing and was able to sleep almost 6 hours. Day 2, not so good. He took 2 150mg pills of Trazadone I think its spelled. That knocked him out for a few hours and had all anxiety and depression at ease. Last night he took 1 Trazadone pill and it had the opposite effect on him for some reason. He was very restless very tired but unable to sleep. We’re on day 4 now and Im very nervous for him. He’s having anxiety and feels very sluggish. His body feels very tired and hes feelings all around like shit. If ANYONE has ANY home remedies to help, please let me know.    Read more...

Question by Kodycat: Oxycodone cold turkey questions?
Hi. I was wondering how long do these symptoms last? And how is the best way to go cold turkey? When will you start to feel better? How bad are the cravings for pills when you are completly off of them? Anybody have any stories about when you did it? Been off of them for 3 days…would tapering down still be a good idea when you had 0 now in 3 days? If so how many could a person have to start out with so that it doesn’t become a problem again? Any advice/help would be appericated. Thanks.
So it is safe to just suffer right? One thing is that if you are really dang sick and you got more pills and tapered off would u still have to go through all this again or would it be milder? I most likey agree since it has been 3 days it is probally better to keep going with the sick right? I think the docs should warn people about these pills b4 they give it to you. Does anybody agree with that too or is it just me?
And btw we went to the doc and they said that they were not going to do anything just gave clozampam drug. I know everybody says just see your reg doc…but he was out and then went to see other doc in office and then said he talked to him and he wasn’t going to do anything either! I just donno it is just causing me alot of stress. btw this is not me that is going through the withdrawls, it is my hubby. He also went to detox place and they told him that they probally wouldn;t give him the subtex because he wasn;t getting sick enough. He went to an assiment and they lied. I just don’t understand all of this. Anybody else gone through anything of the sort like this in thier lives???    Read more...

Question by rileymorgan: I’m trying to stop smoking, will it get easier?
I’m on day one of my attempt to quit smoking, it’s been about 12 hours since I had a cigarette. It sucks, but the worst thing was that I was mean most of the evening. I am keeping busy, but feel like I stop and think “I’m going to get up and get a cigarette”..then I remember I can’t. This happens about 10 times every 5 minutes.

Will this go away, or even lighten up? Seems like the mean/grumpiness and the mistaken thoughts that its time to smoke are all that are getting to me, but it’s really irritating.

Question by Cricket: In a few weeks I’m going to detox from opiates at home. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated. HELP!?
I have been battling this addiction for over 4 years now. I started out taking a 1/2 of a 500mg vicodin once a week, just when I got a really bad tension headache. I quickly realized I felt “good” when I took them, so gradually started taking more often. That continued for about a year & a 1/2. Then I got pregnant. I was able to stop cold turkey, however I did take a total of about 5 pills throughout my whole pregnancy when aches & pains were really bad. I have always had a high tolerance for pain medications, so otc tylenol DOES NOT help me. So the minute you deliver a baby, guess what, they prescribed me a shiny new rx for darvocet. So since the day my baby was born in Aug. of ’07, I have not had 1 clean day. I have extreme depression, & little to no help or support from my husband. The pills make me feel not so sad, & gave me the energy I needed to “handle my business”. Over time my habit has increased tremendously..& I’m now taking at least 20 10/325mg Norco daily. I do have my own rx, but that lasts me all of 4 or 5 days, so then I start my “hunt” for a score. I buy 4 different peoples rx’s & am spending over $ 700 monthly on just the pills. Not to mention that while I’m on pills I smoke a pack a day, drink red bull & Starbucks like there’s no tomorrow, & have manic shopping habits. I have NO self control. My habit is costing my family everything we have. We can longer pay our bills, & my kids don’t have a mommy. The energy the pills used to give me went away a long time ago, now I barely have the motivation to shower. I can’t live like this anymore.
I have hit my bottom, & I HAVE to quit.
We can’t afford rehab, & my husband makes to much $ $ to qualify for any special “scholarships”…so basically I’m screwed. The other night I decided to talk to my G’pa about helping us to pay for a detox program. It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. My G’pa thinks so highly of me, & to tell him that I’m a drug addict was so painful. He has bailed us out sooooo many times financially in the past, he just can’t afford to pay for it. I should’ve asked him for help a long time ago…but…woulda, coulda, shoulda isn’t going to help now.
So I basically “told on myself” so now I have no other option BUT to quit. Since I can’t afford to pay for rehab, I have to do this at home. The plan is, my mom & husband are going to take a week off work & basically nurse me back to health…but I’m SCARED!!! I’ve heard so many horror stories.
I’m writing this in hopes that someone out there has some advice for me. I’m terified of the pain, diahrrea, nausea, bone aches, insomnia…all of it. I’ve read all these “recipes” that are supposed to help with wd symptoms, but believe it or not, I’m scared of taking drugs…I know funny right. I would like to be able to do this with ibuprofen, tylenol pm, immodium, & hot baths….but is that just ridiculous for me to even think that possible?? I don’t want to use suboxyn, or valium or any other substance to wd because my addictive personality will become addicted to them..I just know it.
If anyone out there has any advice for me..PLEASE help. I’m planning to do this the week after Thanksgiving, I would like to be back to my normal self by Christmas.    Read more...
