oxy withdrawal
by steve, Jun 03, 2000 12:00AM
Man am I tired of this! It's been 8 weeks now, since I have used any narcotics. I still feel like **** everyday. I try to exercise and it just makes everything hurt more. I jog and just get more tired, unlike before you gain endurance, not now.
Everyday is just like I'm exhausted, still have sweats occasionally, always tired, heart papitations, joints and muscles hurt all the time. Has anyone had symtoms this long.
I saw an addiction doctor and he didn't know what he was talking about. He said my withdrawals would end after the first 5 days. Yea maybe the first time I did this. I'm alot better than the first four weeks , but God this is taking so long. I need to get back to life.

from my own experience with my wife, the intense physical withdrawals are over in a few days, but depending on the degree of your addiction, complete withdrawals could take at least a year. Go to meetings and share what you are feeling. They will help you more than you can imagine.
non continued use. I have only been using it for severe
back pain for 2 months. Should I expect such serious
withdrawl symptoms? I'm experiencing then currently with
just a drop in dossage. It's aweful. Creepy crawlys,
no sleep, hot flashes, aches and pains worse then before.
Luckily I have a friend I can talk to about alot of this
as he's gone through it but a little more feedback about
this would be helpful.
Thanks!
I have been on 40mg of oxy every eight hours, and this past week decided to quit cold turkey. BIG MISTAKE!!!! I have never felt so horrible in all my life.... This drug is highly addictive and you should come of this drug very slowly. I couldn't sleep hot and cold flahes my hole body aches a lot of vomiting. And of course deppersion. I regret ever getting hooked on these pills. They may help with the pain but the long term effects are definetly not worth it. So any one out there just starting out take my advice don't even take them there not worth going through what you will go through when you come down. Thanks for listing.
