oxycontin 80mg day 2

[ljs0891]

So this is day 2 after my relapse and i have to say i feel a lot better today then my original day 2, maybe it's because i use to do 500-1500 mg Oxycontin a day for a month and a half and then i stopped cold turkey, after only 2 days i ingested 1 Oxycontin 80 mg. But other then that i would be on day 4 right now, but still however i feel much better not then last time i hit day 2, I've also been drinking lots of water and taking multivitamins. The hardest part is waking up with extreme anxiety, i go straight to a hot bath and use breathing techniques to help me calm down, then i can relax and pass out for 30 minutes to and hour. I slept 6-7 hours which is good and when i checked my heart rate today twice i came up with the 70's range which is normal but still feels fast for me because i'm us to the 60's range. I think in a day or two the worst should be over for me and i can move on with my life.

DAY 3!! man, i feel better, maybe it's because i only had 1 oxy 80 within the last 5 days so i'm went over the top already and now i'm slowly healing. Yeah the alcohol was a TERRIBLE IDEA, i got a bit of a hangover now. I took a hot epsom salt bath, drank lots of water,took vitamins, ate bacon and bread for breakfast for protein and carbs to help speed up my metabolism. My anxiety and depressing *** thoughts are starting to slowly subside as well. The only thing i would recommend is small amounts of weed to help with the w/d as to not become dependent on it, it really works wonders. But stay away from the alcohol, bad juju unless you want to feel hungover during w/d's. Anyways guys, keep on pushing forward i'm going to lay down for a bit.

Carefull with the alcohol as it causes dehydration. You want to be as hydrated as possible to help push the toxins out.

That took me back, was just thinking about the last time I smoked weed, it was with quite a few members of the Utah College football team on a  Halloween not so long ago, lol. Anyway, your on the right track the only thing I would advise is to be careful not to become dependent on weed or alcohol to mask the WD effects.  Doing this could cause an addiction or dependency on those substances.  Keep the course and try the breathing or walking, they greatly helps my anxiety.

Hello and I am glad to see you want your life from those evil oxy's. I was in your place a little over three years ago and I empahize everything your going through. The tip you received about breathing is a good one as I used that technique throughout my recovery. As far as the anxiety try some valarien root tea, if you put enough honey in it the taste is not to horrible. Get outside and get some sun and a little exercise as it will help you greatly. I know you don't have much energy put force yourself. You can try some yoga too its a great way to stretch  and get some exercise. As far as smoking pot to releive the w/d symptoms I tried it and it didn't do much for me but everyones different I don't think it will hurt you. Look into the Thomas Recipe on the top of this page it worked wonders for me. Remeber to keep yourself hydrated and nourished as this is very important to feeling better. So remember YOU CAN DO THIS so hsng in there it won't be long to your oxy free life I am pulling for you. GOD Bless---Rick . .

Yah i'm doing much better now, i still have a little weed left but i had some remy martin and i decided to pour just a few shots since my withdrawals aren't as heavy as some, and let me tell you, i really think it depends on the person and their personality especially. I am definitely loosened up and in a great mood right now. The best news is tomorrow will be even better then today regardless, so i'm looking forward to that. If you think of it that way you feel better, the worse you're going to feel is NOW! because it slowly gets better gradually. Thanks for supporting me so much guys!! and i support you as well, good job for you as well Spider for breaking through these plateaus ahead for me and making it easier for me to walk the path.

Good morning ljs,
I'm so glad to hear you're okay.  You sound very strong and determined.
The anxiety ***** but it's going to deminish.  Just remember, don't let it
control you, you control it by not fighting it. When you feel it coming on, check yourself, by that I mean.......is your jaw clenched, are your shoulders up to your ears in a crunched up shrug, are you breathing quick and shallow through your chest and not your diaphram, is your brow furrowed into a knot on your head.  It just takes practise to recognize when your body is tensing up like that and then act accordingly.....loosen everything up and breath properly and remind yourself that nobody ever died of an anxiety attack, cuz that's your first fear right.  

I remember years ago when I was really bad with panic, at a dr.'s appt. dealing with this my dr. said to me......"you think you're going to have a heart attack and die eh, okay let's see you do that".........I tried.....but I didn't die. lol  but it made me realize that "I" was fabricating it all myself.
But fear will only tighten you up more.....give in to it and say "Screw you!!!, take your best shot!!!"  Just ride through it.

Yayyyyy day 3!!!!! Rock it today Buck!!! Shine for your little family.
You are in my thoughts and prayers
love and peace  Spider

Great job on 2 days sober!  Yes, the anxiety will subside but it will take a little time to get completely better.  Each day clean is healing your body and repairing all the damage that has been done, just like a cut takes time to heal, so to does your body and brain chemistry.  Hang in there and keep talking to us.

Congrats on day 2! Every day clean is a celebration! And yes, you should be turning a corner anytime now. The anxiety stinks I know! But it too will lessen, maybe not as fast as you hope, but it will. Then you may have waves of anxiety that persists awhile, but hopefully not! My heart rate went nuts, up to 180, but I have a heart problem. But I remember the increased heart rare for me went away around day 10.
You're doing great. Keep on!!' You can do this!
