Thought it was over.

  Thought I had the withdrawal beat but it seems not yet. Had two good days and then a sudden change. Cold sweats, chills, muscle aches, no sleep, dry mouth etc. Looks like I'm in it for a few more days. When my doctor prescribed Oxycontin I had no idea what getting off it was like, nor did he tell me. I guess it's like Yogi Berra (who could destroy the english language said) 'It ain't over 'til it's over." Anyway, here I am.

Sorry to hear you are feeling like this. I just went through the same thing myself minus the dry mouth. (mine was from abusing valium)
It's not fun but hang in there as mentioned.

I wish I had more to offer but all I can give is verbal support.  Think positve and try not to do it alone. I shut everyone off from me which I now know was not helping matters.

Take care.
