getting off opiates

i have recently gotten into oxy cottin which was not a good idea and im very very dumb for doing this.. does anyone have any info on how to get off of them? besides going to a methadone clinic? i do not wanna do that nor goto a detox, is there anything i should take to ease the sickness of an opiate. i have been doing them everyday for the last couple months and if i dont have it i get sick as fuck. any help would greatly be appreciated! i have been getting sleeping pills to help me sleep but that doesnt help during the day, how long will it take me to finally not be sick anymore?

ouch........ try heroin

Good luck. It ain't easy . . . staying stoned helps.
Methadone is harder to kick than most other substances, so you're smart in avoiding it.
Small doses of Xanax help.

dude come on dont do these drugs what are you thinking fuck

you guys piss off. he's looking for advice not criticism.. although that's unfortunate, you've already met the first couple steps of rehabilitation; 1. you are aware of the problem; 2. you are willing to explore your options. I am no professional however I do believe that it would help to keep in touch with someone who has been through the same experience, or have overcome a physical addiction. Good luck to you.

the first few days are going to rough man, chemical withdrawl is tough. but once you'll get through it, i'll be a bit easier.
so for the aches you can take some advil or smoke some herb. you can also try nice hot bathes with lavender to help relax your body and mind during the toughest parts. you should also keep yourself hydrated, cranberry juice helps. keep some potassium in your system, melon, bananas, citrus fruit, green leafy vegetables and tomatoes. for the sleeping problem i'd be better if you did it naturally. valerian roots helps alot. good luck. you can do it!

I would say try smoking a little to ease the nauseusness. Other than that I would say try and stop cold turkey, but if not keep lowering your dosage everyday.

There's no such thing as a free lunch. I've been on and off opiates for 10 years now. I've gone through rehab, methadone clinic, 3-day detox, ect. If you've only had a habit for under a year, no reputable methadone clinic would accept you. Since you had such a short and sweet habit, your psychological w/ds will be minimal. You should avoid any "maintenance therapy" like the plague. Drink ample amounts of water and stick to a fiber-rich diet to help ward off diarrhea/cramps. This is my detox regimen: Wake-up, brew a pot of ginger tea, eat a bowl of oatmeal/frosted mini wheats (i add a tbls of powdered ginger to either cereal). Them i would take an Adderall and vitamin B Complex.
Lunch consists of a can of coca-cola and 2 bananas to ward off charlie horses.
Dinner usually consisted of either mashed potatos or jasmine rice and a Xanax/Valium, oh yeah- 2-4 more cups of ginger tea.
After 3 days all of the oc will be out of your system and after 10 days your brain should be starting to crank out its' own feel-good chemicals. After you get over the initial dope sickness, the first 2 weeks clean almost feels like you're high on sobriety-no joke. It's called "the pink cloud".

If you decide to use Benzos (Xanax/Valium/Ativan/Clonapin), try to keep use under a week. Benzo withdrawls can last up to 2 months and they make opiate w/ds feel like a day at the circus! Mary Jane may be a better choice for nausea anyways. If you've never dabbled in Benzos, don't start now.
If you think your habit may have deeper roots, try counseling. Also, check out the SMART Recovery website. It's a great program based on science that you actually graduate from. Unlike 12-Step NA/AA which is based on 1930s ideals and propaganda and is life-long. Also, feel free to contact me and i can give you my email if you ever want to talk or have any questions. Also, check out the Heroin Helper site. It's a great resource.

Calicos' Ginger Tea

3.5oz of fresh, peeled & sliced ginger (about the size of your thumb)
3 whole cloves
1 cinnamon stick
1/4 tsp Nutmeg
2 cups Water
Pinch of Sea Salt and Black Pepper
1/4 cup of Sugar/Honey

Bring 2 cups of H2O to a gentle boil with a pinch of sea salt and pepper. Add spices and let water reduce down to half (1 cup). Add sugar/honey and stir to dissolve*.
Strain out the loose spices while pouring the tea into your cup. And cream/milk and squeeze a lemon wedge if desired. Enjoy!

*If you add the sugar/honey at the begining, it can take up to an hour for the water to evaporate and reduce down to 1 cup. Also, fresh ginger is necessary but if you don't have the other whole spices in your cupboard, you can substitute with "Pumpkin Pie Spice" instead.

somes times just sucking it up and doing the withdraw is what you need to do. take your last oxy thursday and do not go to work fri, sat, and sun. i`m not sayin you`ll be fine but after 3 days or so you start to become functional. i had to do it, now looking back i`m i kuicked cold turkey. calico speaks truth you`ll find yourself in a worst situation. its not fun kickin but man you`ll be alive again!!!--good luck

You know T-3's have codeine in them right? It's a weaker opiate, but still one nonetheless. You'll be able to detox faster if you don't take any opiates at all, but it's up to you.

suboxin is a good for detox and it get you high but its like 600 bucks

At some point you are going to have to walk through that tunnel back to sobriety as a norm.
Just remember as you walk back, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. You will feel ill, you will be miserable, but you will not die. Sounds trivial, but just remember that. The tunnel is dark, but you will emerge.

You will emerge from the tunnel. Just like the day you were born. Going through your mothers vagina, just like your being reborn!!!!!!!!! YAY YAY yay.
