24 hours Into W/C CT and nothing yet .. is this the Calm before the Storm??

[VonB]

It is exactly 24 hours since I took my last OxyContin ... I was taking 40mg 3x day and Percocet 10/325 3x day ...I took and abiem to sleep last night ... and this morning I am in pain ... not withdrawal pain ....But the Pain that got me taking these Meds in the first place.  Is this the calm before the storm... I mean ,,,, I crushed the OxyContins....so shouldn't I be in withdrawal already??

Patients my friend, it will come soon enough

With that amount.  It's on it's way.  It may be on a small detour or pitstop.  If you were to evade withdrawal from all that.   We will need your body for science, bottle you, and sell you.  Hold on to your britches, and keep us posted.

yes...........it will soon come. best to study your enemy and have a game plan set.

Actually, just so I'm clear - you mentioned that you crushed them - did you take them orally that way or did you snort them. Orally would have a longer half-life. If you took them IV you'd be sitting in a corner shivering by now, so I'm assuming that's not the case.

[bkwrm679]

Typically I think the half-life is 12 hours if insufflated, so you should be feeling something by now. Not sure why you're not. The Ambien and Zanaflex won't postpone the opiate withdrawals. The Ambien can cause problems when you're coming off of benzo's because they mimic them and sort of leave the receptors in a bad position, not sure if you have issues with those or not.

I did not take any Vicodin ... I took an ambien and a zanaflex ( short acting Muscle relaxer) last night to sleep.   I just thought in 24 hours I would see something... and like I said ... I am in pain ... but its the exact pain I always have.  So you think that my w/d is just going to take longer to start ... why ?  can you explain...Thanks

[troubleinohio]

are you the one who i responded to a lil bit ago in a different thread that was considering taking your mom's vicodin to help WD? if so, did you do that? That would slow/delay the WD (but you should NOT try this, you'll just get hoooked on hydro!!!) ... but if not,  you still may just have had so much oxy in your system still that its taking longer to get out before WD starts.  are you on any other meds besides ambien?
