How long are withdrawals after taking 1 Roxy 30

[prophatcy]

Hi everyone. I recently got off 30mg of methadone. Well I was on 30mg for about 4 mths and started tapering off. When I got to 15mg I decided to quit. I lasted a few days when I started having severe restless leg, loss of appetite, anxiety, hot and cold flashes, and insomnia. I didn't want to get back on methadone because of how long the withdraw is. Tried to quit 30mg of methadone for 6 days and thought after day 3 it would get better but by day  6 I felt worse than on day 3 and didn't see a window of when I'd feel better so got back on. It stays in your system longer therefore making withdraws longer. So I had a friend who had suboxone so I spent a week breaking off small tiny pieces of it until I ran out then started taking tabs for a week. Remember I use to break loritab habits like it was no big deal. Feel like crap and tired a few days then I would feel better. Well after that week I lucked out and got another suboxone. That lasted 2 weeks cause I still was able to get tabs. So on days I didn't have tabs I'd break off a tiny piece of suboxone. When I say tiny I mean less than a quarter piece. Like a 1/8 piece, and when I had tabs I take those instead of suboxone. Well I wanted last week to be my last week. Had 5 tabs left on Wed and finished them off on Thu night. Took 2 Wed and 3 Thu. Woke up Fri and took a small subox felt fine till that night I started feeling sore in my ankles and legs but slept fine. Woke up Sat and took my last piece of subox. Same thing fine then leg and ankle soreness. Woke up Sun with withdraw. Low energy and aches. Was bad but wasn't that bad. Sun night I couldn't sleep. Kept waking up every couple hours with bodyaches and totally uncomfortable. When I got up today I was feeling like crap. Stayed in bed just moaning over my pain and aches and discomfort. Stand up sit down and lay down was discomforting, and had full on restless legs. I tried to get some tabs but with no luck. By 2pm I couldn't take it anymore and got 2 roxy 30s. I took a half and felt so ashamed but at the same time relieved cause my withdraws went away. The thing is I know I want to quit. In my head I want to break this chain, but I can't seem to handle the withdraw. If I knew a time table as to when it got better I can make myself wait, but I don't know when it gets better. I feel so helpless. I just want my life back! It's starting to make me depressed cause I never have any money, have to rely on a drug to get out of bed, and no matter what I do I can't break this curse. Which is what it is a curse. Drug dealers get richer and I get poorer. I never hated my life more than I do now. Anyways so I took this 30 today. Didn't snort just swallowed pieces of it. Now I feel fine. Guilty but fine. I wasn't sure what withdraw I was dealing with Sun and today. If it was the suboxone, the tabs or even the methadone that I haven't touched for a month. That's the thing I don't know how long withdraw is from the different drugs. I know when I'd withdraw from tabs it be 3 or 4 days then I'd feel 100% better, but if I took my last tab Thu and took a tiny subox Fri and Sat then I'd think my tab withdraw would be minor by Sun and Mon. Instead it wasn't, so was it the suboxone I was withdrawing from or a combination of both or everything even the methadone I haven't touched in over a month? Also I want to know if I was in full withdraw today and took 1 Roxy 30 how long will I need to withdraw before I can feel better. Will I just be withdrawing from the roxy or will it be a combination of 4 drugs this week. Methadone I haven't touched in over a month, tabs I haven't taken since Thu, tiny suboxone piece I haven't taken since Sat, and the Roxy 30 I took today. It's confusing I know but I just feel so helpless that I'm trying to educate myself as to why I can't get better.

HI ...you got quite a cocktail going there it really hard to say whats giving you the hard withdrawals but like Vicki said give it some time...usually it takes a week to run its course
instead of taking another pill jump in a hot tub and try soaking away the symptoms
theres some stuff out there called highlands restful legs you can get it at walgreens or walmart its homeopathic so  you cant od on the stuff I took 2 every hr till it went away
I wish there was a get out of jail free card here but theres not your going to have to face the withdrawals as for the methadone it took me 90 days to run that crap out of my system
so you might still be feeling the effects of the methadone...I was a long term user you where only on it a short time it might not be as bad...keep posting for support we all want to help you and want to see you succeed good luck and God bless.....Gnarly

You aren't giving yourself any time to get better!

All you're doing is taking opiates and continuing the cycle. Stop it. No more.

Give yourself SEVEN days. You'll be sick (like the flu) but you'll get better. It just takes time.

Drink fluids and eat well. Read the health pages,upper right. There's great info there!
