Oxycontin withdrawal
My husband is withdrawing from Oxycontin. He is on his 17th day. He went through the typical withdrawal symptoms the first week and is getting better everyday. However, he has these vomiting spells. Sometimes it's only once, other times, like last night, he goes on all night long. Is this normal withdrawal? He does have an extra sensitive stomach (perhaps from doing so many drugs) and vomiting isn't out of the ordinary for him. But I am concerned that maybe there is something more seriously wrong. Any feedback is welcome.
Also, I have been reading the posts about Oxy withdrawal and want to put in a few words. My husband has detoxed several times from various drugs. This last time it was oxy and it has been the hardest for him physically. The thing that is keeping him going, besides NA meetings and tremendous support from me, is EXERCISE. It has been mentioned in posts previously and I want to reinforce the idea that this can help so much! He can't wait to get home from work so that he can take a run or a bike ride and forget about his cravings and focus on something healthy and uplifting. He is feeling better about himself and has alot of hope for the future. So, anyone going through recovery, Excercise helps!

Just so you know this is a really old thread. If you repost the question as a new post you'll get more answers.
To answer your question most of the physical symptoms usually go away completely by the end of two weeks. I'm not familiar with Trazadon so I don't know how that affects things. I guess since you were a long time high dosage user you'll be one of the people who's symptoms last closer to the whole two weeks but most people feel a lot better by days 7-8-9 etc.
Sleep seems to be the last thing that returns to normal.

Im on day 6 being off & just got home from detox but dont feel much better the only thing gone from the w/d symptoms seems to be the Linda Blair effect how long before I %$#@%&^ sleep again TRAZADONE SUX the clonadine helps with some of the jerking but has anyone here been on this long @ these doses or higher? When is it over?
