oxycontin withdrawls..

[lueck77]

Ive been taking oxycontin for over5years now. At first it was taken as a recreational thing and while i split with my exhusband which happen was abusive and revengeful it stressed me out and started taking 3-4  80mg a day but that ran out and i went through alot of withdrawls 4 about 2days till i was able to find more. but i was able to get by ok with 1 80mg a day which i had cut in quarters and take them at specefic times during the day.2days ago i lost my only connect and im withdrawling. i cant get out of bed and im so depressed and have very high anxiety, i feel like hurting someone. im a single mom that works fulltime and she depends on me and im letting her down. she thinks im sick because im to ashamed to tell her the truth let alone anyone else. can anyone give me some advice please??

Lueck, I am sorry that you are not feelin well and are withdrawling.  The symptoms typically last only 3-5 days and will subside.  If you really want to stop using, then please do not take any more.  Take a look at the health pages on the top right and read the Thomas Recipe - there are some helpful points that will help ease the symptoms of withdrawal.  Take some hot baths for the RLS and muscle pain and try and get up and get some exercise - even though you won't feel like it, you will feel better after you get up.  Please think about your daughter, think about how you felt before you got into this vicious circle.  Keep posting, there are lots of people here who can help support you through the process.  God Bless.
