Ahh to kick

[Twizted Pain]

What a glorious roller coaster of a ride opiates are... Here I sit kicking again, its odd the only comfort im getting is by reading other peoples stories of kicking and what not. I guess like others have said it brings you comfort to know your not the only one kicking at this very moment. And I know others are kicking from a much higher tolly than I have. Sucks to kick no matter what the tolly I suppose.

This time is much harder than any other kick, I burned through my script in a matter of days...jumped straight to pods using them much more frequently then ever before and they had me feeling GREAT, oh how I love them. The difference with this kick versus any other kick ive done is the fact I have about 40 huge pods on my kitchen counter and a couple of my pills left. I'm kicking because I go to my pain clinic soon and I don't want to drop dirty on the pods. I have the 2 pills left so I can drop dirty for my script. Having these things around while kicking has made this hell for me. Just the urge to go into my kitchen and grind up some good ol pods and feel AMAZING is killing me slowly.

On the lighter side I've got 24 hours left, this time tomorrow night I can take 1 of my remaining pills before bed then I'll take the last one in the morning when I get up before I go to my doc. 24 hours in kicking time is ages... plus I have a full shift to look forward to tomorrow. I guess in a way that is a good thing, it will keep me busy and hopefully make the hours tick by just a little faster than kicking on the couch.

Anyway just wanted to do a bit of talking to ease the pains of the kick. Cheers to everyone and to all those who are kicking with me GOOD LUCK and be safe.

sorry to hear it bro....but if ur apt is in a couple of days and your expecting to have to drop, isnt it a little late to kick the pods? ugh...and im all too familiar with that feeling of knowing that relief is just a few feet away, but knowing you cant touch it.

nothin really to throw in here except hope it passes quickly and as painlessly as possible. but i would suggest if you have just now stopped using pods and have to drop in less than 2 days, looking into some sort of backup plan bc i seriously doubt if thats the case that the pods will clear before then. especially considering the long half life of pods

[tui]

Could you use Lope to help you get by? What does that show up as in a UA?

Good luck buddy, kicking sure does suck.

[Twizted Pain]

I stopped the pod usage days ago. I would think a full 7+ days should leave me enough time to drop clean. Last time I tested after I think roughly 5 days since last pod usage and I dropped clean. This time I had a bit more warning and was able to stop usage sooner, I think I should be ok in that area.

[blinky89]

lope doesnt show up as anything AFIK....ive read a ton on lope and never read about it showing on a UA. and even if it does, i dont see what the problem would be since its a perfectly legal OTC med

--- auto merge ---

gotcha...well thats good to hear. like tui said, i would DEF load up on lope. its never really did a whole lot for me, but def was better than a complete CT kick.

tramadol is what gets me by when i absolutely cant get anything else. ive never heard of drug test testing for trams....i always have had them in my system the past couple of times ive had to drop and never had a problem.

some OTC melatonin helps me with sleep as well....diphenhydramine is great when in not in straight up WD, but i would not recommend using that while in full WD at all bc i did that once and it severely aggravated the already horrible RLS. but the ''lazy cake'' brownies that r sold at gas stations really help me out. you may be really groggy the next day, but to me, being groggy after a full nite of sleep is nowhere near as bad laying in bed thrashing around all nite from WDs

[OpiatedChronically]

Ouch! 7 days already? That's ROUGH. Have you been using ANYTHING to ease the pain or have you just been going balls to the wall CT?

Only one more day, it will be slow and miserable, that's for sure, as you said 24 hours is like a week in W/D time. I'm out of meds until wednesday and have been out for a few days, I've been and will be hurting like hell so I'm right there with ya man.

Here's to time passing with the quickness!!

[upstate_007]

Hope the rest of today goes quickly for you.

In the future:

- Lope. Lots of it.
- Once you get your script filled and have taken it for a few days, piss in a bottle and freeze it. By doing that, you can avoid being sick at the end of the month.
- Lope. Lots of it. Seriously. When I had to give urine for GC/MS testing at pain management there was never any questions raised about the lope in my system. I am not even sure if it was tested for at all.

[Twizted Pain]

For some odd reason I've got a sudden boost of energy and happiness..now I'm in no way complaining but this has never happened at all in the past. I feel like the next few hours will be a breeze. Right now instead of dreading the next few hours I'm actually excited thinking that this tome tomorrow ill have my script in hand. Oh that precious little paper that that makes our eyes light up like a little kid on Xmas morning.

I wish I knew what brought about this bought of energy and happiness so I could spread the joy. The only thing I have been doing is downing loads of water and V8 juice.

[OpiatedChronically]

I think you've actually made it through the major part of that detox and are now starting to feel "normal" emotions and energy flow again. That what it sounds like, IMO.

When I'm out of meds and on Lope, my normal emotions come back and I have stronger feelings of happiness and funny things become like 100x as funny as they would when on my meds, although I can have equally strong feelings of sadness and depression, and I do.

Or it could just be psychological, knowing that relief will be very soon and not feeling as bad, even better, as a result. I know it happens to me as I'm sitting in my doctors office, knowing that relief is so close that just knowing that really does make me feel better....most times, I'm usually on lope though but I don't always take enough to make the W/D go away completely, since lope can keep tolerance from lowering significantly at high enough doses when taken for long enough.

[Twizted Pain]

I was thinking the same thing but I mean I feel 100% right now. I went from feeling just miserable to taking a small nap and waking up feeling amazing. I know what you mean about feeling better when you know relief is so close. Its amazing how a small pill in my case can make a grown man feel horrible when he is without or absolutely on top of the world when he does have it. I know come tomorrow morning when im on the way to my pharmacy script in hand I'll be just as happy as a man could be. Its Sad really I suppose.

[Duckfeet]

Yep, kicking is definitely part of this fucker, tho it's usually not on the junky brochure. Everybody seems to have certain kicking aspects that bug them more than others, and different approaches...I used to just get good and drunk on day two, but looking back, honestly, usually that's when I'd say fuck it, and just give in....well done on hanging in there...I always had to put myself out of physical reach, or, like I said, I'd give in...except for a couple of times when it really mattered, like getting out of the army and stuff...anyway, good luck with it all, should be about over, I imagine...

[Twizted Pain]

Just took 1 of my last 2 pills and ill take the next in the morning so ill be sure to drop pos for my rx'd med. I can't believe I didn't dive into the pod stash or eat my last 2 pills(which I held on to for roughly 2+ weeks) and ruin this whole thing . I suppose the completely unexpected upswing in my mood is why I didn't devour those fuckers heh. Anyways thanks to all for the words and once again to all those kicking hang tough.

[OpiatedChronically]

Did you really do this completely CT or have you been using lope?

If this was CT, and it seems to me that it is, props sir. How big is your habit? I'm much more curious now. I'm such a big whiny baby pussy ass bitch when it comes to W/Ds, I usually can't make it more than 2 days without lope.

Yea it was completely CT. My habit is fairly small compared to most, I can get by pretty well on around 120-160mg of Oxycodone a day. I'm usually a big ol baby about W/D's too so I know what you mean. This time it did suck in the beginning but since I came from pods it took a long time for W/D's to really start getting to me then when things were at their worst it was like I took a nap and everything was lifted... still not sure what happened but very thankful none the less.

Normally in the midst of the worse part of the W/D's I get RLS so bad sleep isnt even remotely an option for me, this time I had the RLS for a night or 2. However, like I said earlier I actually slept without any drugs to knock me out last night. This could in fact be part of the reason I felt so much better the ability to sleep makes things much more bearable.

I'm sure the biggest contributing factor is my relatively smaller habit compared to most, which makes for a much more manageable Withdrawal I would think. I was coming down off of roughly 8-10 pods a day this time not sure where that sits as far as habits go.

[PriceofPills]

Ok I gotta ask. What's the script for?

[OpiatedChronically]

That still sounds like a formidable habit, OxyC is not a weak opioid by any means, and Pods are pretty damn potent from what I hear (I've never tried them, but very much want to)

How long have you been at this daily dosing schedule? I'm curious because if you've only been on these doses for, let's say, a couple of months or so, the W/D wouldn't be balls out horrifying, but would still be fairly uncomfortable. Those pods are wicked expensive from what I've been reading.

[Twizted Pain]

Ok I gotta ask. What's the script for?

Well I broke my back over a year ago and had spinal fusion surgery. Everything was going good after my surgery then all of a sudden I started getting serious pains in my left leg down to my foot. Long story short I now have what is called complex regional pain syndrome in my left leg and that is why I have a script.

And to answer your Q OpiatedChronically ive had a long history with pills. Never took them daily until I broke my back over a year ago so i've been at it daily to some degree for a little over a year. And yea pods are pretty expensive, I'm fairly new to pods myself so I couldn't really compare to how they used to be price wise but regardless they cost good $$

[PriceofPills]

I meant what drug. oxy, morph, fent?

[Twizted Pain]

I meant what drug. oxy, morph, fent?

Oh, my apologies. Oxy for me

[Der Alte Krieger]

I've let the pods run my tolly way the fuck up there. I was once getting a buzz from 10 Norcos that I don't even notice anymore. I don't seem to get really sick as long as I taper off with Lope but I don't ever get used to not being high. Thats a no goer.

[Twizted Pain]

Well I'm off to the doctor, wish me luck.

[Twizted Pain]

I apologize for the double post, I tried editing but it would not let me. I went to my doc this morning and was extremely surprised because I didn't even have to get piss tested... all the withdrawal for nothing, better safe then sorry I suppose. I did get pretty lucky today however, I got my script bumped up a nice bit. Oh and the best part I leave my doc's office script in hand happy as can be only to look down at it and see DO NOT FILL until Nov 2 2011.... I was immediately saddened by this.

On the way to the pharmacy to get my other 2 scripts filled I decided I'm just gonna hand them all 3 scripts and see if I can get lucky. I knew I wouldn't get away with it but I figured what the hell right. I was floored when they called me up and I went to the counter and was handed ALL 3 Scripts HA score one for my junky ass. I don't know how this slipped by them. I suppose it might have helped me a bit that they were extremely busy and my scripts come on a full sheet of paper and it has tons of writing on it so I guess the DO NOT FILL until part was just simply overlooked.

[OpiatedChronically]

Wow no UA, an increased dose AND you got them a day early!! Good karma must have owed you one. Congrats man!

Bet you're feeling much better by now after all that sober time.

Lucky fucker. Glad the junkie gods were smiling on you

[PerpetualKick]

Good karma on my end too. Got my script early as well with no UA (I would have had some problems there), and my doc seemed to forget about the taper he wanted to do and remained at the same dose this month. Cheers all around! Now if only I can have the script last the whole month I'd be sitting pretty...

[Princess Kitty]

Thats good for you. I got struck by the angry dope gods. I was supposed to refill on the 3rd and now it's the 4th. She flat out asked me if I was asking for my Meds early and I said I dont know what u can do for me. She wrote me clonidine and my scripts with a DO NOT FILL TIL 11/4 written on it. I almost wanna ask to fill on Thursday but I think they are not happy with me. So 2.5 more days. I did cry in the car.

Why did your doctor write NO FILL TILL Nov 4th if it was supposed to be on the 3rd? Was she that angry about running out early? Seems kind of pointless for her to do that if you were due on Thurs. anyway....

I'm really sorry PK. Hopefully time will pass as quickly as possible till Friday (fuck that hurts me just thinking about it)

[Princess Kitty]

Yes apparently she was mad that I didn't fish my pills out of my puke and eat them. Instead of 30 day scripts I'm on 28 day. So I just have to show them that I am honest and not abusing or diverting. It's alright. My fault. It's lope time

[Twizted Pain]

Oh yea Karma definitely shined her light down on me today that is for sure. Now I'm just afraid she is fucking with me and getting me good and happy just to take me down heh... sorry Karma usually never does good things for me so I'm a bit skeptical lol.

And yes I'm feeling much much better now If I'm not mistaken you should be feeling the happiness tomorrow right? Hope things go as good for you as they did for me.

Princess Kitty: Hang in there girl I know all too well how long a few days actually feels like in withdrawal time, just keep hanging tough and your relief will come to you as well. I hope time flies for you and all goes well.

I'm always amazed when people tell me about drinking while in WD. While I've never tried it, it seems like it would fuck around with the stomach too much. Then again, I've got a weak gut. Does it help with the nastiness much? I'm intrigued.
