Today is my first day of try to get off pain meds. Im hooked on just about any pai med i can get my hands on. Really just hydrcodone, percocet, and roxycodones. It started as a perscriptuin for a sports injury but I continued use afer the pain was gone and eventually started abusing them. It started with 10 mg lortabs and was like that for 6 months everyday and eventually moved to 30 mg oxycodon which was about 150mg a day for the last 2 or 3 months. I am to the point now that I have to and want to quit but the withdrawals are hard ad its only been 16. Hrs. Im losig y life and everyone around me a I cant take that. Ive tried the past couple days and gave in to a smaller dose of about 50 mg, but i cant do it anymore. Im relyig on God for help but its still hard. I AM going to do it, I just want to know if theres an easier way to do it on your own. I can get professional help because it will cost me my career. Any advice? And how long will it last? And is it better that ive only been doing it for 8 or 9 months rather than a year.

I think that you should got to you GP and speak of this with them. Physicians are not allowed to give any medical information about you. Its against the law. I understand that you do not want to lose your family, friends, career, life..... Getting professional help might be necessary.

The folks at your local NA meeting will be able to help. They have been where you are.

I met my doctor at an NA meeting.

All the best.
