I was on oxy contin, morphine, and methadone for a lil over 2 years and I remember having to take hydros when I couldn't get anything else. It would take me 15-20 10mg hydros to keep me from being sick and it only last 6-8 hours. I finally quit, and it was the hardest thing i've ever had to do. I stayed in bed for 2 weeks, it hurt to move. I had the shakes, couldn't sleep, and was on the toilet constantly. Even after I stopped being sick it took me 3 months to get my energy back up. Xanax can help, but remember that xanax is another controlled substance and they are also addictive. Trust me I know, I got them prescribed for 4 years. A lot of people will detox under a doctor's care and that is a gread idea!! You can take unisom for sleep, and ibuprophen for the aches and pains. Stay in bed and drink plenty of water. Also,Vitaman C and B12 dots helped me alot, you can get them at a vitamin store like vitamin world or GNC, maybe even WalMart, but I'm not sure about the B12 dots there. Also, if you are under a doctors care, ask your doctor about suboxin. It works great. I know it's hard but you can do it! Good luck and God Bless. You are in my prayers.
