I dont know who to turn to or who to ask. She has never lied to me before. Damnit i am so furious! She has been sick for the past 3 days, very cold, shaking, hurting.....hell i thought it was the flu or something. She was in bed crying.....i didnt know a thing was going on. Come to find out, she hasnt had an oxycotin in 4 days, and that is why she felt that way. She had to leave work on Monday because she didnt have one, and couldnt stand up. She snorts the damn things guys! So, she comes to my work and tells me she has been lying to me.......I DIDNT HAVE A CLUE that she was taking them every day for the past 3 months! NO FUCKING CLUE! 40mg every day. That is a lot if you ask me. So guys, what do i do to help her? I only know to stand by her and try to help......but is there something i need to do for her imparticularly? I guess the reason i posted this is because i wanted to talk to somebody about it, and you guys are the only people i can say anything to. Im down guys, very down. I love her to death, but i want her to get better. She used to be involved in bodybuilding like myself, but i guess this is the reason she quit, and i just thought it was because she was burnt out or something.  I dont know.....im just depressed and needed somebody to talk to. ------------------ [This message has been edited by Hardcore4Evr (edited December 21, 2000).]     | ||

Sorry about your situation brother. I can't recommend anything to do specifically, but until one of the more knowledgable brothers helps you with that, as long as you're with her bro. I had a girl somehow get tangled up in meth, and no matter how big or badass I trained to be, I felt totally helpless. After everything was over, she told me I was the biggest part of her recovery simply because I was always there. I don't know if that helps any, but just know that as long as you're with her, you're doing the most important thing bro. ------------------ | ||

Man this sucks so bad. I swear i feel like ripping the heads off the bastards that keep selling it to her. I think i should just beat them to a pulp, cause it would definitly make me feel better.......BUT, it will not help the situation, but only make it worse. Damnit. She is a strong girl, guys. I know she can do it. Its been 4 days she said. Pray for her. Thanks. ------------------ | ||

well you can take her to the doctor and tell him that she has been hooked on oxy's. THen ask for a drug called ultram. Take 4 a day for the first week, 3/day second week, 2/ 3rd, and 1 for the 4th, then she'll eventually not need it. I had the same problem with nubain. THis ultram helps but mostly it's all in the head. So encourage her and tell her you have a friend who said it works. Don't be so hard on her though. she's going through a rough time. She could have been into a lot worse drugs, so lighten up and have some sympathy. | ||

I may be naive, but what the hell is Oxy? I had a girlfriend really into weed and starting to do speed etc. we split up cause I could not deal with it. I don't regret it either. But if you really love her and think she may be the one then ride it out if she is willing to stop, if not hit the high road, it gets ugly. ------------------ | ||

If she really want to quite I'll tell you how bu tif she is only stopping because she is out she'll go right back on this has to be her chioce. I know because I dealt with it with alot of close people. I very good way to do it is go to mexico get ultram and a strip of temgesic sublingual tabs. Dan duchaine has the exact way of doing it. Under www.qfac.com go to dan under junkie bb and how to get of nubain. This works unbelieveable but she has too wan t to quite with these to drugs and the way dan tells you how to tkae she will come off fine and with out any discomferit | ||

My advice would be to grab a phone book and look for those 1-800 hotlines for people with drug problems. You can even call Alcoholics Anonymous, they are very helpful and will definitely point you in the right direction of who to call. Don't be afraid to call because all those people want to do is help. Just tell the people the situation, what she uses, how much and they will give you advice on how serious the problem is. I got faith in you bro, you can get her better. It's like liftin' you gotta work hard. Good Luck. ------------------ IRISH PSYCHO BAS NO AN BUA | ||

Guys i want you to know how appreciative i am of you all. Thanks for being here in a time where i needed you all most. I will stand by her because we have been together for almost 4 years, and i am still very much in love with her. We are getting married next summer, and our house is getting built as i speak! So, this is not something im backing out on. I love her so much, and i hope that she is done with this. She said today when we were on our way to work, that she feels so much better, and that she hasnt felt this good in a long time. I was so happy to hear that! The last time she did one was on Sunday, so she is doing so far so good! She is really positive about this now, and doesnt have a doubt in her mind that she will quit for good. Thanks again guys, and i will keep you all posted. Today is definitly a better day then yesterday. Your all my brothers away from home. Thanks for being here. ------------------ | ||

Sounds good Bro, but consider this- this problem didn't just appear spontaneously. Something most likely caused it. Now it's true that some people are predisposed to addiction (for reasons yet unknown), but please don't just forget about this when it appears to be over and pretend it never happened. It can happen again unless she learns for herself why she found herself in this spot and how to avoid it again. She may want to consider seeing a shrink or a councelor of some type to get to the root of the problem. Addiction has destroyed many a marriage and NOW is the time to make sure yours isn't going to be one of them. Email me if you need more help. | ||

I know more than a few people who have had great success kicking Oxy's by using Methadone. I have a good friend wo was taking 6 40's a day and is still clean to this day after methadone treatmaent. But keep in mind people can also become addicted to Methadone. | ||

My brother and his girlfriend were addicted to oxy's. They just kicked it about a month or so ago. It was just like you said. Sick, shaking. The physical sickness goes away, but it's easy to fall back into it. My brother tried to kick twice...this time he's done with it. I don't think he knew it would be so hard the first time. Keep a close eye on her. I don't mean you shouldn't trust her, just look out for her. Now you know what to look for. Try to get her into working out again. When she feels up to it. You might have to push her a little, though. Someone said something about Ultram up there in the thread. I thought they were mostly for back pain. I have a bunch of those, but never take them. My doc gave me a shitload of samples. I took one once but I don't remember if it really worked or not. I try to stay away from that stuff. Stand by her, bro. Your fiance would appreciate the way you came on this board and asked for help. Best of luck and God bless. Keep us posted. | ||

Yo dude, Whatever you do, do not bring up negative stuff right now(lies, addiction, trust), but just focus on the goal of achieving her complete non-usage of this drug. Take her to your most trusted doctor and listen to him/her. Dont be angry! Let her know that if you are going to help her, she must listen to every word you say. good luck. | ||

The good thing is that she's strong and have the will to fight on, and with u standing by her 24 hours is going to be the added strength she needs. I'm absoulutely certain every bro on this board is with u. She and u are going to make it through together. | ||

This may sound cold, but I was curious. Is/was she a dancer? I have run across several "dancers" that abuse this same pain reliever. | ||
