Damn oxycodone!

[big_griff]

hey bro's
i am struggling with coming off of the beast of addiction to oxycodone's, and i was just wondering if maybe omega or macro,ulter, etc., could tell me what i'm doing to my body by taking this garbage? its hard bro's, it makes work a lot easier when you feel good all the time, but i know its bad. I don't even know how i'm making gains in the gym, but i'm at the point now where i'm missing workouts cuz i sleep all damn day, and i feel like i'm throwing my potential down the drain. So what i'm asking is if someone knowladgable on the subject could tell me how oxy's limit/affect your gains in the gym? i think that would help me even more to come off and beat this shit. Thanks bro's for being here.

 

[muscleup]

how many you taking per day ?

 

[obey]

the fact that it will kill you should be enough reason to stop dont you think?
I lost my best friend last year to that shit.

 

[big_griff]

been takin 60-75mg/day, spread out every few hours. cutting down to about half that and detoxing now.

 

[medical]

You're not ready yet if you think someone telling you it inhibits your fucking gym gains will help you quit.
We'll save a chair for you.........

 

[dsh89]

Also if you are taking it in a vicodin/lortab form, it has tylenol with it. Tylenol is liver toxic. The acetaminophen content is usually 100 times the hydrocodone content. So if you are taking in 60 mg hydrocodone, you are taking in 6000 mg tylenol. That is a toxic dose.

 

[muscleup]

DAMN THAT WOULD BE 6 10MG VICS PER DAY ?....Shit thats a lot....Good luck my brotha....You can make it.

Jesus fucking Christ, junkie! Cutting down to half IS NOT DETOXING! Some lame ass will more than likely tell you it is great that you are cutting down.....they are wrong. You're a fucking junkie just like I was and you ain't even close to quiting, bro!

 

[muscleup]

well instead of insulting the guy how about we try to be supportive of him trying to get off the shit....LOL

I'm trying to help....you don't help an opiate junkie by telling them that cutting down is a good thing and hoping that if they realize that it hurts their workout gains they will have an epiphany and stop using. What is next in our little fantasy here....along comes the whore with the golden heart and they find tru love and that love helps them both leave behind a life of addiction??? Real life ain't Hollywood, bro! Trust me on this one!

 

[muscleup]

Well then share your addiction story brotha....Maybe it will inspire him to get off....Or at least help.

I will say thing 6-7 vics a day is WAY up there....I can get screwed up all day long on one....I dont see how anyone could take that much,,,,I would be taking a trip to the emergency room.

All I can tell you is man up and quit the shit... if you go to the doc he might put you on some suboxin to help with withdrawals it’s still an opiate but it will make you sick as hell if you take another opiate with it and then you can cut the doses of suboxin week to week until your clean...

Oxycodone are not vicodin bro it is a very strong opiate essentially it is synthetic heroin and it kills alot of people i would say the average user uses between 80-160mg each day it is nasty stuff and extremely addictive...

 

[muscleup]

shows ya what I know....Is this the same as oxycotin ?...I seen a special on that at it seems horribly addictive.

Whats the difference between the 2 ?

[missionpossible]

obey is right, oxy are not vic, it comes in tab form in 5, 10, 20, 40 and I believe a 60 or 80 mg. Believe me, if your not used to oxys one 40 will have you messed up like 4 10mg vics, but all day and you'll feel it the next day too. This is a very addictive drug, fight it bro, you can win but it wont be easy.

 

[medical]

And you won't win by cutting down.

 

[missionpossible]

Also if you are taking it in a vicodin/lortab form, it has tylenol with it. Tylenol is liver toxic. The acetaminophen content is usually 100 times the hydrocodone content. So if you are taking in 60 mg hydrocodone, you are taking in 6000 mg tylenol. That is a toxic dose.

Dude,m there is no acetaminophen in oxycodone, just vics. Most peeps that take large dose of vics use the 10/300 Norcos to reduce severly the amount of acetaminophen being taken.

 

[ItalianMuscle27]

Never had those, but Ive been on Norcos for almost 3 years now.. Im prescribed 3/ED, but I dont take them all the time.. I know the oxys are way stronger, but I dont know how people get addicted to vicoden. My norcos make me sleepy as hell, and I try just to take them at bed time.. But there is a new drug out that is suppose to help people get off the oxys and vicoden. I think its called Suboxon.. Maybe inquire with your doctor about that..

 

[ninesecz]

Careful with the detox Bro I have taken those things on and off for 11 years. I get prescribed 6 30mg oxycodones a day but dont take them unless I have to. The only way to get off them quickly is to go have your doctor give you suboxone. If not you will need to take a good month or two to completely stop taking them ,otherwise you will always be craving them!! drop down 5-15mg per week for instance 6 a day if thats whats your on in 3 days drop to 5 1/2 then in 3-4 days drop down to 5 then 4.5 then 4 etc. etc. your body should not notice the slow decline. most important make those dose before bedtime the last one to go otherwise mount your tv on the ceiling because you will be staring at the ceiling all night wondering why you cant sleep. Lack of sleep will hinder your traing more than anything besides diet!! GOOD LUCK

daym griff, I thought a couple of weeks ago you said you were on day 10 of being clean of this shit. Come on bro, you gotta wake up.... i know everyone on this board can tell you to quit the shit and all that, but the only person thats gonna beat it is YOU. Just think of what is most important to you in your life and think about not having that person or thing. Is it worth risking your life???? IF you want something bad enough, you will make things change. If you wake up everyday wanting to quit and go to bed everyday wanting to quit, then you have the "want" you just got to put the "will" into effect. If you just "sorta" wanna quit, it wont ever happen. gluck bro

 

[big_griff]

thank you all for your words and for the tough love. you guys are my brothers here and i take everything you say in, and i'm feeling better now. I actually have come to the point where i want to quit. thanks guys, i feel like i had an epiphany, to quote an earlier post! LoL. i know what i want in life, and this aint it. Thanks again, honestly, i love all you guys. (no i'm not on clomid currently) LMAO. thanks again bro's.
Your friend and brother
griff

 

[8800gtx]

well simply put....The only way your coming off it 100% is through rehab and medical help....and evn then your chances of relapse are high...Chances of you quitting by cutting down about .000009% seriously bro, no matter how tough you may think you are drug dependency is stronger.......Take care of yourself, be humble, be strong, and ask for help...ask a friend, a brother, or family member...Youll be surprise how well most people receive the news...When I went down my family and friends received me with open arms....good luck

Hey there biggriff,
If anyone can offer you help or answer any questions on this topic of addiction , it's me. Let me start by saying you've made a big step forward by admitting you have a problem. As far as getting off the oxycodone, you can slowly decrease your daily dosage over a week or two ( depending on how your body reacts to the mild withdrawals) and when you get down to 1 or two pills/day; then you're going to have to stop , cold turkey. IF you have any pills left by this point; give them to a friend, girlfriend, someone you can trust not to give them back. I don't know how long you've had this problem, the longer your body is on opiates, the worse the withdrawal will be. You can expect to feel really uncomfotalbe for about 3 days. trouble sleeping, sweating, no appetite, no energy, cravings for the drug, anxiety, irritability. You can do this, after 3 days, the drug is out of your system, and you will have won the battle. I started shooting heroin when I was 19, and by the time I was 20 I had a bad habit, I was physically addicted to opiates, I've fought this addiction my whole life, I'm 34 now. The 90's were really rough for me, I finally had to get on methadone in order to stop my illegal opiate use. Ive been on methadone maintenence therapy since 99, and am currently detoxing myself off this drug. And it's 2 to 3 times as phsically addictive as heroin. I started at 160 mg/day and am down to 85/mg a day, dropping down 5 mg/every week. I've tried detoxing in the past ( 3 times) and always relapsed, so this time I'm taking it slow. I also joined NA, and believe it or not, this has helped tremendously. You have to make sure you're ready to to do this for yourself, but once you make up your mind, you can do anything. You can email me if you have any quesitons. I'm willing to do anything I can to hellp you. Good luck bro.

 

[almost-pro]

I am still battling a hydrocodone withdrawal. I am about over it now. I decided to quit cold turkey. On some days I would use 100mg of hydro, some days less... I can tell you the first 1-2 weeks was pure hell. After that it got alot easier. I am not condoning this in any way, but it helped me to have some klonopen and/or xanax around to help with the anxiety. (Don't get addicted to these in the process). That is just what worked for ME and may not be a good idea for anyone else.

 

[8800gtx]

Bump that last post....Yes I definately advise and recommend NA (Narcotics Anonymous)

 

[solidspine]

AA or NA They are everywhere

Just walk in, then the journey begins

 

[AhMadKooL]

One word: Rehab

 

[Mr.Pumped]

If you don't have any support from freinds or familly, it's going to be a difficult road to recovery. If that is the case you should check yourself into detox and stop kidding yourself. I was on heroin for years and tried to stop on my own, but I just kept using again. It wasn't until I went to a detox that I got the help I needed like; counseling, NA meetings. That's what helped me put things back into perspective. I knew- just like you do- that I was ruining everything, familly, freinds, job etc.. You have to get tough with yourself and do the dam thing. You allready took the first step in admitting you have a problem. Now it's up to you to take the second step. You can do it; you have to establish a network and work it. Hope the best to you.
