help please

Hey I am starting day one of being off opiates and would like to know what I should expect and what I can do to make this alittle easier. I am doing this cold turkey. I have been oxy for over a year about 40 to 50 mg a day around average. Please any advice would help. Thank you...

Hi John

I have no experience with oxys myself, but I'm sure others will chime in soon
We also have a substance abuse forum you may like to look at

Substance Abuse - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

You'll find a lot of support here

Hi John and welcome to SR....

Do check out the Substance Abuse section - a lot of people have been where you are and turned things around.

Getting through withdrawal isn't easy, but it's better than a life of addiction. Congratulations on your decision, and get medical help if you need it....

I'd be careful of using benadryl myself...
