What i'v heard is that between steroids and my pill promblem my liver and kidneys wont last very long and i could be really killing my self. Is this true or am i worring about nothing? Any wise words would be motivating
bro, let me be the first to talk to you about this. this is something I know about, seeing as though I've been addicted to opiates for 17+yrs. I've been clean since april 06, and it was the best decision I ever made for myself. Although i still take pain medication sometimes, due to 8 surgeries during the past 1 1/2 yrs. , I am not addicted to them anymore. Percocets are just as hard to come off of as heroin, IMO pain pills are harder then heroin, been there done that. what you don't realize is that opiates are hard on the liver, not so much the kidneys though. If your taking an oral with the percs, then your doing double the damage. How long will you last? that's different for each person, everyone is different. you'd have to get your liver enzymes checked to see where you are at. If you want some advice on how to stop taking the percs, the best way is to taper down, SLOWLY, over a couple of weeks, and then when you get down to having to take just 1 or 2 pills, you gotta just suck it up. The way I did it many times, was to find a medical detox unit, where they keep you medicated to prevent withdrawals, like they give you meds for your anxiety, blood pressure, and other things. You need to get a support system to help you also. If you've got a close friend that is aware of your problem, taper down, and then both of you get out of town for 3 days, and have him take care of you while you go through the mild withdrawals. It's not going to be fun, but if its' affecting your life negatively, then why not just go for it? It's not fun being strung out on anything. There are also drugs out there, that your family doctor can prescribe that will help and also prevent you from going into withdrawals when you come off the percs. man, I feel for you, I've gone throught this same shit countless times. You gotta make your mind up to do it for yourself, becuase if you are doing it for someone else, it will not work. Maybe check out some NA meetings, they really helped me when I finally decided that enough was enough. Good luck, PM me if you have any questions or I can help you in any way.
