How long will oxy withdrawal last?

[enewshan]

I have been on this never ending cycle of oxycontin for about 2 years now. I started off at low doses and now take up to 160mg at once. This was all for recreational use. I started suboxone treatment a year ago and hadn't touched anything for a year. About 8 months ago I relapsed and ever since I have been back and forth between oxy and subs. I can take about 1-2 mg of sub and be fine but I want to quit this cold turkey. I have been on oxy everyday for the last 2 weeks and my last dose was almost 18 hours ago. So far I dont feel all that bad and Im wondering how long will I feel bad when these withdrawals finally set in. I have broken down totally and want to be done with this forever. I have a loving family and they think my suboxone treatment is going well. I promised myself I would be off this **** by the end of the month. Should I take extremely low doses to ease the withdrawal?

I have no experience with subs but I'm detoxing from approx 120mg/day oxy habit thats lasted the past two years.  Before that I used percoset for 6 yrs.  I read somewhere that subs last longer in your body so it will take awhile for the WD's to kick in.  I'm almost at day 6 CT and I feel alright for the first time.  I'm a little drained and my emotions are running high but overall the worst is behind me.  Day 1-3 was really bad but I kept posting here and there were plenty of people around offering support.  Keep posting and I'm sure one of the senior members will have a better answer for you.  Good Luck to you....K.J.
