Fentynal & oxycoden WD

Hi, I am new here, but I have been reading the forums a ton this past week. Here is a little about me. This past march I was diagnosed with tongue cancer. Doc did biopsy, put me on Liquid Oxycoden. Well, I had surgery April, just finished up radiation 3 weeks ago. I have been on the Oxycoden for 5 1/2 months. 5 mg every 4 to 6 hours, but I used it every 2 hours. They also put me on fentynal 50 patches 2 months ago, I chaned them every 3 days. Well, this past Monday, I quit all cold turkey. Threw it all in garbage. Well the withdrawals have been terrible. This has been the worst week. Well, I mean 5 days. I have some questions, if you guys dont mind. How long will this all last? I am eating some now, Friday. I have not thrown up since wednesday. Took immodium today, and this also helped. But the chills I have, I cannot sleep... I get dizzy and light headed some. Plus I noticed I lost a lot of weight, will this all come back???? I will never use this crap again. No matter the pain, no more....... thank you all

You're doing GOOD!  Day 6 is GREAT!

Isn't it "funny" (strange not ha ha) how we crave certain foods?  I couldn't get enough eggs while I was in early recovery.  I later learned they have a lot of amino acids and other nutrients my body was craving.

Keep it goin girl...we're rootin for ya!

Glad to hear it! I think the hell is over for both of us, not that we are done by any means but compared to how it has been this is cake!
I had french toast and scrambled eggs for breakfast, and actually ate pizza for dinner.
I spent alot of time sitting outside today in the warm sunshine and its like things are becoming clearer and brighter.
