Good for you man! Went through something similar not so long ago. I stopped cold turkey and it was a bitch but I made it through. Hope you continue to stay away from them!

How long did you use them? And like what actual medication and strength? Just out of curiosity.

Yeah, as someone who has now experienced REAL addiction, anyone who says marijuana is addicting doesn't know what they're talking about. I saw a Bill O'Reilly segment where he claimed marijuana was as addictive as cigarettes. ROFL I guess it's as "addicting" as an egg mcmuffin or anything else that's fun or enjoyable. But addicting physically? No way.

Awesome man. How much were you taking? What is it straight Oxy or Percocet?

130mg of oxycodone per day. Sometimes more, sometimes less. And I honestly don't even remember when I started taking them full-time. It's been several years though.

Straight oxy. 15mg little green round pills. 6 of them a day. And one 40mg time release oxycontin at bedtime. A lot of times I ended up taking more than I was prescribed. It was a problem. So I said enough of this shit and fought tooth and nail to stop taking them. I weened down bit after bit.

As someone who has their dick knocked in the dirt by 10mgs, it blows my mind the levels of tolerance that go along with opiate addiction.

That's crazy. As someone with nagging back issues I find the sweet spot for me is about 3.5MG of Percs 3 times a day.

Congrats.

I've had this Vicodin sitting here for about a month now....I see it everyday and think to myself...."Should I take it for shits & giggles?"

Honestly, i don't like the way they make me feel.

At the highest point of my dependence, I'd have to take at least 3 or 4 10mg percs at one time just to get any type of relief. At first it was about pain relief then it became about relief from withdrawals. It was a vicious cycle. I would get close to running out of them early, because some days I would take more, and I'd panic. I had some stolen on a couple occasions, and it was a nightmare panic like nothing else. Finally I realized just what a horrible vicious cycle it all was and remembered a time when I didn't have these things controlling my life.

Needless to say, I'm so happy to be through with them.

God damn ****a.

I used to love the way I felt on them. Pain was an afterthought, everything was interesting. Then after time passed, I had to take them just to feel like...normal. It's no fun when you get deep into them.

Sounds like Meth. Gotta love that endorphin bounce.

It's crazy. Perfectly legal for any ol quack doctor to write a script for the shit, and your local Walgreens will hand you a bottle with a smile on their face. But pot...POT IS THE DEVIL!!!!
