oxy withdrawal, HELP!

oxy withdrawal, HELP!

Me and my girlfriend have been taken around 180 to 240 mg of Oxy a day and I am trying to quit.
We were takin suboxone during the day and simply 1 10mg vicodin b4 bed to help us fall asleep and deal wit the horrible restless legs that u get. It was actually a very comfortable way of doing it. The only problem was that I only got enough for a weeks supply for the both of us.(I thought it would be Pritty much over after that) after that I still felt horrible! :( I,mean I know that the the horrible part is the first week but I still felt so terrible. I couldn't fall asleep, had the worst anxiety, was drained of energy and Juss felt downright awful. So long story short I tried to get more subs or vikes but couldn't find any. Which made me end up going and buying oxys on day 11 :( I Juss couldn't deal wit it. I did only 15 mg 2 days ago.15 mg yesturday and a full 30 mg pill today :/. But the good news is I managed to get some subs 2n and I'm getting vikes and darvocet 2m. But the questions I have r how far bac do u think those 3 doses put me? I'd like to think those 11 days didn't go totally to waste :/. How long will it be b4 I start feeling somewhat human again? as this seems to be going on FOREVER and I am only 17 and would love to move on wit my life and put this behind me. And the subs work great for me but not as well for my girlfriend. She says that they help a little bit but not nearly as much as it seems to help me. Has anyone else had subs not be very effective to them or do u think it could Juss be in her head? I'm going to give this another try starting 2m and I wanna put an end to this horrible trap once and for all. This is probably one of the hardest things I've gone through and I appreciate watever help u guys can give me. Thanks for all the answers u can give me too and wish me luck! I'm ganna go the whole way this time.

Its not good to be mixing subs and oxy's. Thats way out of bounds as a fix as you are attempting to do. You need to get to a doctor. Plan a simple. Explain what going on truthfully and listen to what he advises. Your playing with bad fire right now..I'm sure you will hear from others shortly (maybe tommorrow as it is late), and they can give you their thoughts. Some you might not like, but thats because you really are messing in bad territory with what your doing..

I wasnt mixing the subs and oxys.  I stopped the subs on day 7 and didn't do an oxy until Wat would of been day 11. I don't plan on doing the subs until I'm fully withdrawaling either..

It sounds like you WERE doing sub and Vicodin. You are VERY young...you need to get help with this. A parent,a doctor...someone.  None of us can do this alone.

I suggest you eliminate the sub. completely. This can be a dangerous drug if not used properly.  Being so young,you can stop cold turkey and push right through the withdrawals. It has to be done.  Taking an opiate here and there is only going to delay the inevitable withdrawal.  You can do it...get some vitamins,juices and good food and go after it!!!

No more sub!!   I mean it!

Keep posting~

How much sub were u taking?  Sub blocks the receptors so I would doubt taking 1 at night for rls is really doing anything for u guys?
What was ur dose of oxy?  It sounds like yall are trying to stop but most need to cut off supply or the temptation to get more can getcha everytime.  Stopping is sumpin u gotta want real bad...if u took sub for 7days then it woulda hung around for up to 3 days cos it has a long half life, so u really shouldnt have felt any wd for a few days.  Alot of this is mental..and why aftercare of some type is crucial.
Seeing a dr to get on sub is best, but playing around taking different narcotics and then balancing it with sub is not a smart thing to do.  It sounds like u r very afraid of a physical detox that may not be as bad as u think.  
You didnt state ur oxy dose..nor how much sub u guys were taking.
Sounds like u r kinda going in circles and leaving the most important step out of ur plan..aftercare.

I stated in the beginning that is was around 180 to 210 mg of oxy a day for about 9 months. As far as the subs I was doing a quarter of the n8 subs at around 11 each mornin but wen I did the vikes at night I still would feel better (by then I was starting to feel crappy) And I no I'm young and all but I have skewl and work just about everyday and Its extremely difficult to go through a long day feeling that terrible which is y I do the subs. I did tell my parents and they r helping me as much as they can but I don't think they understand fully Wat its like cuz they think I'm bein overdramatic wen I get home and they see me moping around the house in agony. I am considering seeing a counselor and just rele want this to stop. It's very rough on me physically and mentally going through this. Thanks for Ur guys help tho . It's nice having ppl to talk to about it and get advice from cuz its easy to get hooked but so hard to get off and can use all the help I can get. Thanks

Honey, to answer one of your questions, you will only start to feel better when you stop the drugs all together!  This on and off and sub and no sub and oxy and vicodin is NOT going to help!  You have to quit all the madness, and get some support.  Who do you trust?  Parents?  A sibling?  You need to tell someone!  Ok?  Just come clean and get some help!  

If you stay on the path you are on now, you WILL ruin your life.  It's not a question of "if" it's just "when", so you need to stop now while you are young and have your whole life ahead!  

You are worth the change!!!  And the hard work it takes to do it!!!

Good luck!!!!
