Being addicted to this narcotic is dangerous. She can't quit by herself because the withdrawal is quite severe. She has to do what is called a medically supervised detox. Look in the phone book under "de-tox" and make some calls. You will need to know what her insurance coverage is, they may even ask for this over the phone, but will def. need it for doing the intake.



I understand your anger at her ex- for getting her started on this, but you've got to let that go for right now and focus on your girlfriend and her health.



If you can't get her into a detox, then take her to the ER the next time she starts going through withdrawal. Tell them EVERYTHING and they will be able to get her into some type of medically supervised detox.



Stay by her, this is going to be a long, hard battle for her and she'll need your support. You'll be saving her life.

Roxy (or oxy) is heavy stuff. Equal to heroin (aka hillbilly heroin). I would suggest NA (Nacrotics Anonymous) and/or addictions counselling/medical help - probably all three. Na is really good - addicts helping addicts.

She cannot do it on her own - your love and concern will help but she needs professional help (and NA) to get through the withdrawal. I know it hard but her parents should be told - they probably know somethings going on. Admitting addiction and reaching out is the first step.

Check the web or your phone book for NA, a doctor and addictions counselling. You can do the leg work but in the end it's her decision.

That stuff is nothing to take lightly.First you have to really show her that you love her and that you are going to stand beside her no matter what.Second then it is time to get her some serious help.Rather it be through a hospital or a clinic she is not going to be able to do it be herself.She is going to really need the love of her friends family and mostly the person that matters to her most and that is you.Don't ever let her see you sweat.You have to really keep your head up and and always let her know that you care about her becauase if she can't trust you than who can she trust.Let her know that you care and and eventually you will have the one that you love and care for for so much.GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS.

these withdrawals are seldom fatal in addictions to opiate, but are very painful. the maximum intensity of withdrawal is 36 to 72 hours and last about a week. these widrawals include yawning, rhinorrhea, sweating, chills, piloerection or goose bumps, tremor, restlessness, irritability, leg spasms, bone pain, diarhea, and vomiting. if you were to come clean with your parent, you could do this with medical help. there are drugs they give to you to help with the withdrawal symptoms. i, as a parent, would want to help my daughter. i would be proud of her for coming to me. i do not know how t her parents would react, but i think this is the best, safest way, to go about this. everyone withdraws different and it plays on the mind. it is impossible to hide wothdrawal from other people as you have no control over what is happening. it just happens. she will be very sick and this is impossible to hide, as well. i would really want to help my daughter through this. i would hope her mother would feel the same. the thought of her going through this and me not being aware, makes me cringe. your girlfriend needs to concentrate on being proud of herself for stopping this before she ends up dying from it. this is what needs to matter more than anything else.

Woo talk about troubles

Taking the 2nd cousin to morphine

.. .. ..

It is kind of like taking your pet horse out for a walk on a dog leash

.. .. ..

Impossible to do

and I do mean impossible to do

By your self

.. .. ..

When someones body and mind sees the excape from all the worlds nasties taking this drug

.. .. ..

Good by real world --

when the real place I live in becomes too real to them

.. .. ..

So you have a girlfriend that has two places she lives in

.. .. ..

The one you see all the time and the one only she knows where it is

.. .. ..

And for you to want to help her is kind of like trying to save a person at sea in a life raft during a typhoon and you are in a Canoe

.. .. ..

Yes it is IMPOSIBLE to do with out determination of her

.. .. ..

And the only way that will happen is if she is shown something else more important

.. .. ..

And only God knows what that could be

.. .. ..

In closing use your girl friend as a lesson as to how it looks from the outside trying to look inside her worlds she lives in

.. .. ..

Life SUCKS and so does it when you see a love one go bad

.. .. ..

im pretty sure you dont mean "roxy"

lolol

i think you mean "oxycodone" or "oxy" or "oxycotton" for short.

what she needs to do is go to rehab

oxycotton is(thought extremely extremely fun....:]) addictive, and even if she feels she needs a pill so bad, shes going to feel that the rest of her life if she really is addicted. its called being an addict, lol.

she needs to go through the detox

and start treatment/therapy.

She needs help ASAP. Addictions can get pretty serious and ruin any relationship. Explain that to her. Tell her you love her, you are worried about her, and that it needs to stop in order for your relationship to be healthy.



If it gets too bad, she may need rehab. She may not like the idea, but suggest it anyway, especially if she herself wants to stop. Rehab can help and give her the extra encouragement and support without criticizing her.

sorry, but this is a physical addiction, and she will probably need professional help. . . is there an adult you can ask for help? otherwise, there is probably a "hot line" local to you. ..it's really not something you want to try on your own, alone. . .
