Just kidding. I took half a 45mg pill at midnight. I read a for awhile and waited to get sleepy. About an hour later, I went to sleep. At around 4AM I woke up with a mild case of dts. I am home detoxing with the help of my paindoc. I am on the tail end of my detox going from 8 20mg tabs to 3 tabs, taking codeine#3 in place of Oxy. When I awoke, I had a mild headache and the worst part of it was the mild dts in the form of inability to lie still and the skin crawling feeling. I immediately took an Oxy tab and in about 30 mins, the dts were gone, however, I was still unable to go back to sleep until about an hour later, then I woke up again. By this time it was nearly 7am so I got up and took my morning walk. Right now I feel ypretty good, good enough that I did a litle yard work mostly sweeping up leaves. I think I will wait until I have completed my home detox before I continue with the Remeron as I don't want anything to sabotage my detox from Oxy. I have taken Codeine for over 5 years prior to Oxy and had no dts whatsoever. I could go for days without taking it or even weeks and months, but eventually I had to take it as my chronic pain would get so bad that I would be practically bedridden and unable to function even in my limited capacity as a result of low back injury from being struck by a truck while riding a 10 speed bike way back in the 80's. Wish me luck on the home detox, because I think I will need it as I am starting to feel the dts and may have to stay at 3 Oxy tabs for 3 or 4 weeks instead of the agreed upon 2 weeks with my detox plan setup by my paindoc. Later.FST
