Whats worse in your opinion: WD's

[struggling_college_student]

I was just wondering today if WDs are worse when your snorting painkillers(OXY) or just swallowing them?  I am on day 4 of CT off snorting 240 mg oxy per day and have not slept at all, in all my other CT, I was usually feeling so much better by now and could sleep an hr or 2 here and there!  I guess I was on almost triple what I used to do when I just swallowed them so maybe thats why too.  Anyways just wanting to hear some opinions if u got em!  God bless everyone and good luck!!

This is strictly my experience. When I went thru w/d's I did not have any nausa or throw up but my nephew who snorted roxys he threw up a few times when he went thru his w/d's. I swallowed hydrocodone's. He is still on drugs but thats another story. I am sure it has to do with how much and which drugs we were taking but this is my observation.

I thought the body absorbs the extra receptors.

There is a chemical reason why swallowing is usually easier to stop than chewing, chewing easier than snorting and snorting easier than shooting dugs

If u read the health pages you will c an article on Dopamine and Addiction.  It breaks it dow n to easy to undersand terms

briefly, your brain and body are finely tuned...it knows when sumpin is being fed to it from an outside source. It will decrease, in some cases even stop, producing that chemical cos it knows u r getting it from outside your body.  Tis explains why drs taper u off steroids or prednisone packs.

Swalloing hits the brain slowest, the least shock, shooting hits it fastest, whith chewing and snorting in btw.  The brain is suddenly invaded with endorpins (easy term to use) and the brain may decide none to be produced extra///plus most often it is too much and the brainmust build new receptors to handle th onslaught..these receptors never go awy even if we quit..they do eventually go to sleep tho, unless u start using again, the wake up and ur tolerence is right back where it was before

Why do we feel depressed when we take away our outside endorphin supply?  think about it?  The brain hasnt been producing much if any and has to junpstart on endorphon production...EXERCISE ROX for this..the brain has to heal

then u also have those other ugly receptors u built to handle overload.  they are crying to be fed as well...they will go to sleep....all of this just takes time

This is what we gotta go thru to feel normal again.
a person who takes 10 lortbas a day..hydro and another who also takes 10 a day
one takes 2 pills 5 times a day....the other takes 5 pills twice a day.  theoretically, the 2 pill user will have an easier time as she has not bombarded her brain as the 5 pill at once user did

sorry if i made no sense..the article in the health pages is excellent

Makes no difference..It is what it is..Abuse = bad wd's when the day comes to part with the abuse no matter the method..

In my opinion it don't matter if you snort them shoot them or swallow them. If you abuse them you are gonna have WD;s from Hell. I went from snorting to shooting and although shooting them caused me to feel them way faster and stronger I really couldn't tell a difference in the WD's. That is just my opinion I am sure more ppl will come along with a different take on the subject. Congrats on going 4 days!!!!! I am 228 off opiates and 11 days off Suboxone! Keep posting so we know how you are doing. This site has helped me in ways I can't begin to describe.
Best wishes always
