My name is Jessica, I'm a 21 year old college student(doing it online at the moment). When I was 18 years old I was diagnosed with several budging and herniated discs in my lower back and neck as a result of cheerleading.I've been dropped on my head more times than I can count. I also have been diagnosed with Arnold Chiari Malformation, which is a downward displacement of my cerebellum, my brain stem is herniated into my spinal cord making the simplest moves feel bone-breaking(Only when it decides to act up) I was put on 240 Percocet 10's at age 18 to manage my pain. Thinking nothing about getting addicted to them, I took them as prescribed for a period of about 2 years.Then when I was 20, my doctor put me on 240 Oxycodone 30mg which ended up being my "miracle" pill (also ended up ruining my life). It took away ALL my pain and I was able to go on with my day like a normal human being. Up until about last week, I noticed even when I take my pill, I'm still feeling pain, so I took it into my own hands of taking more than directed(oops) Well now when I wake up in the mornings, I feel like someone ran me over with a mac truck. So I've made the decision to stop the pills altogether and get healthy like I used to. I'm looking at the Thomas's Recipe for withdraw.**~ I bought the L-Tyrosine(and the B6 for proper absorption) I also bought L-Glutamine(don't know much about) Zinc,Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium(for Restless Leg Syndrome) Copper, Imodium(for stomach pains), Melatonin(to help sleep) Omega 3-6-9, B-Complex with Folic Acid, St.John's Wort(for the mental withdraws)...I also have some peach Xanax & some Ativan to help sleep... Does anyone have any suggestions on HOW AND WHEN to take these medications? Maybe someone whose been through it and could give me some advice. Now that I went to the Health food store, I'm unsure when to take these, & if it's safe to take them all together? I'll be starting the detox tomorrow(January 23rd) Anything will be helpful... Just trying to get back to the healthy girl I once was. Any suggestions or tips and hints will be greatly appreciated it. Thank you so much!! I'm just scared to go through it, just want to make it as comfortable as possible. Thanks to those of you willing to help.

P.S-It's me AND my fiance going through it so we do have each others support, just need to know when to take these medications and any other tips about DT'ing from opioids would be awesome! Thank you so,so much...any answers are greatly appreciated :)


My question would be "How and when do I take these medications" and any suggestions are welcomed, thank you.

Sincerely,
