Is there any tips for quiting Ocy cotin?!
Question: I've been addicted to OC for about 3 years. And at 70$ for 80milligram it is starting to affect my life and my relationships with others and I have to do more and more to feel "normal". Does anyone have anything they have found to work for getting of this without dieing of withdrawls? Thanks!

Getting arrested for buying or possesion is an effective ticket to involuntary detox in a cell, although it's not the most pleasant experience. As an alternative, there are outpatient programs using suboxone or other drug to lessen detox symptoms. They're offered through doctors offices and other clinics. If you do a search online, I'm sure you'll find a facility in your area. You'll be able to kick without having the expense or unexplained absence that goes along with inpatient rehab.
Yeah, My uncle died 2 weeks ago because of an OD on oxycontin. Keep that in mind. He was 46 years old and was actually taking it for pain, but ended up getting way too into it and started injecting it. He died with a needle in his arm. How embarrasing is that when your family finds you like that? How embarrassing would it be period if your family and friends found out you died because of abusing drugs?
isnt methadone for that too? (besides heroin)
Yeah you need to get off it. You can't even spell Oxycontin right.
Anyway, since you have been taking so many and built up such a tolerance, it seems very unlikely that you will be able to stop without withdraw symptoms. You could try to ween your way off slowly, but that will probably make you feel really bad as well. I think you're just going to have to suck it up and live through the withdraws. If you go to rehab, you will have to go through the same withdraws, you'll just have to pay a lot of money for them.
Methadone shouldn't be used to treat opium addiction. Methadone is an opiate, heroin is actually metabolized into methadone by the body, so you might become addicted to methadone. It seems really stupid that we treat an addiction with an addictive substance. We really have to stop it, I don't know how well its working, but it doen't seem worth it.
you have an addiction, please read this article i wrote, it fits you like a glove.
rush limbaugh, oxycontin and addiction
;
when rush Limbaugh had to disclose his addiction to the pain medication Oxycontin, it came as a huge surprise to many. actually, a few months before he disclosed his addiction, the national enquire was running headline stories about it. so he had not much of a choice but to disclose it. when i had heard about his addiction i was not at all surprised, saddened maybe, but not surprised. i am always saddened when i see someone suffering from alcohol or drug addiction. you see rush limbaugh clearly exhibits all the traits of addiction and addictive personalities. on air he is always talking about his "formerly nicotine stained fingers". a reference to his former smoking days. and of course smoking is an addiction. rush has also spoken many, many times about his up and down battle with weight. so through his own admission and through the various photos of him it is clear that he has often suffered from food addiction. when he went into rehab a few years ago to break his addiction to the pain medication Oxycontin, several tabloid newspapers had reported that he had taken up smoking again while in rehab. so he quits the Oxycontin and takes up smoking to cope with his anxieties that are no longer being coped with through his taking of pain medication. rush Limbaugh was extremely over weight about 10 or 15 years ago. he finally slimmed down about 12 years ago. right about the time when he has admitted that his addiction to Oxycontin began. so his food addiction ends when his addiction to the calming pain medication begins. and rush remained thin for the 10 years he was addicted to the Oxycontin. so now, a couple of years after his addiction to pain medication ended, rush has again developed a problem with weight. so his food addiction is back. what you should understand about addiction, all types of addiction is this, it is all rooted in the same general causes. addiction is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. this chemical imbalance is triggered in a few ways. a psychological disorder will cause a chemical imbalance and so will extreme fear, or emotionally traumatic situations. also stress and social pressures will cause a chemical imbalance. to end your addictions you need to treat the underlying root causes of your chemical imbalance. if you don't, then you will shuffle from one addiction to another in an effort to deal with an unquiet mind brought on by your chemical imbalance. i remember how my auntie Connie used to shake when she went without her cigarettes for more than one or two hours. hence, the anxiety she suffered from a chemical imbalance. look at what usually happens to most smokers who quit smoking. they gain weight. and most of them say that they have gained weight because they now have clean taste buds and can really enjoy the taste of food. wrong! the reason they gain weight is because they have replaced one addiction with another. that's called trading addictions. they can greatly end their addiction if they would just treat the root causes of their chemical imbalance that is bringing on anxieties in their unquiet mind. when i quit my heavy drinking i had found myself addicted to over the counter sleeping pills for over a year. then when i quit taking the sleeping pills to calm down i found myself drinking herbal tea with the calming ingredients of cava cava or Valerian. both natural sedatives. i also found myself walking 3 or 4 miles a day. i did not really decide i was going for a walk, i just could not keep still and before i knew it, i found myself walking. so having an addiction does not make someone a bad person, you really have to sympathize with the anxious feelings an addict feels. and what the addict needs to do is treat their chemical imbalance and then their need to engage in addictive substances and behaviors will greatly diminish. the fact is that at least 1 in 3 suffer from an addiction, half don't know it or won't recognize it, but the facts are clear that addictive disorders are much more common than most people have imagined.
