whats up..i was doing 40 mg a day myself. how long were you taking them for? i did it for about a year and i recently quit cold turkey its been like 23-24 days or something and i feel great now..it was rough for me for about 2-3 days physically and then mentally id say i wasnt myself till about 10-14 days..it really wasnt that bad..especially you seem like you prob didnt even do it for a year so i would imagine you will be feeling much better soon..if you have any questions at all just let me know.

i snorted them too..the w/ds are a little worse because your body is looking for that huge rush instead of slowly released over time..your gonna be fine, you def caught this before most people..i had every single one of your symptoms..they will be there for a few days but you can tough that out because the end result will be a second chance at life..if you continued down that path you would be in for one heck of a mess..i think your in a real similar situation to me..as soon as i realized wow im addicted i quit and i never looked back..good for you

okay as a mom i gotta tell you...it was very smart to quit now.  BUT did you just quit til you got more or more money???please dont go back to those pills.  oxys are the most addictive drug as far as pills go.  i know i snorted the 80's for a long time.  please dont pick those back up.  it wont be long and you will be over the worst of it.  good luck...if you need me i am here.

yeah I was looking for something stronger after smoking weed several times a day for a year it dose pretty much nothin now and when I got a bunch of free oxys about 90 at first. I though it would be cool to have an oxycontin addiction one of my Heros nikki sixx was addicted to heroin for years so thats pretty much it

Yeah man It's probably not fully registering what we are saying unless you really want to quit, but don't go back man. Believe me I fully admit I would love to have that feeling one more time but I know the baggage that comes with it and I don't want that. I can honestly say I now that I beat the w/ds I am just going to avoid them at all costs. Luckily for me the people around me don't use so its not hard for me to avoid them as long as i make a conscious effort. If i ever have surgery again or something that requires i take something i will take as small an amount as possible and toss the rest..its just not worth having something run your life..this is neither here nor there but who the heck was willing to give up 90 free OC's?

ya know what would be even cooler, is getting off everything, getting a hot chick, having some cool things, like whatever you like to do and live a great life. man, for awhile i thought drugs were cool too, they made me feel great, but like you said the weed does nothing now, and that's what happens with other drugs. after a short time the fun wears off and by that time your addicted and can't stop. life becomes hell and if your lucky enough to live through it, it's a tough road to recovery. ask anyone here and they will tell you what a mistake it was to use. stop now, because i promise you it's not worth it. im so happy to see you post and talking about this. please trust me on this, it's not a cool life. im rooting for ya man.

And the truth comes out my friend..i was gonna ask you to tell me about the individual that gives away oxys because those two things don't usually go hand-in-hand..you must be a pretty bright kid to convince your mom your having w/ds from weed haha..you need to just pick something you love to do and go for it while your still as young as you are..no need to be wasting days getting messed up during the easiest years of your life..until you go to college that is.

I would have to say that every single person on here is a good liar..when your addicted to something you can lie your way seemingly anywhere. i told soo many lies when i was buying pills and sometimes i will still catch myself like bending the truth about where im going to my parents and i catch myself and im just like why am i lying when i have nothing to hide anymore? anyway when your clean and you finally have a clear mind you feel a lot better about yourself. you can wake up, look in the mirror, and respect the person staring back at you..i dont know about you..but when i was snorting oxys i didnt like looking in the mirror
