Roxicet Withdrawals how long does it last???

[stayorleave41]

Hubby & I both have been addicted to the 30 mg roxicet, snorting them, 1-3 a day, him for the last year and a half, me for the last 7 months. He was prescribed them for severe pain but it wasn't long before we both were abusing them. Today is the 2nd day no roxis, or oxys. We have each been taking a small perc in the morning and a .5 mg xanax for the anxiety. What is the worst of this? How long is this going to last? Even having the small dosage of percocet we still feel awful. Sneezing, cold one minute, hot the next, fatigue, insomnia, stomach issues.....He works full time and I am home w/ 2 young children so we have to have energy and keep going. I wish we could both just lay down and get through this. Just curious as to how other people got through this and is there anything else I can do to ease the w/d? Fate intervened, funny how that works, we made a wrong turn in our neighborhood and there was a woman on the ground screaming she was having a heart attack and I got the info from her that she was doing 40 mg oxys. Wake up call, funny how that works huh?

Withdrawl from these things is horrible. Give it 4-5 days n the worst of it will be over. Try to stay moving as much as u can even though its tough u gotta force yourself to walk around. Dont consume any caffeine either. Hot baths r good. n powerbars u have to eat! Hang in there everyone. Dont give in dont break. But stay strong. This will make you an even strong person.

My daughter is going through WD's as I write this from this drug. We were at the ER all night as she had a abcess that had to be lanced as a result of her use could have lost her arm as the infection was spreading. I am scared to death for her, I have been with her the last three days and have to go back to work tomorrow. I have been reading all the posts and I have a great respect for all of you folks that are trying to get off this stuff. This is not my first exp. with detox as her dad was an addict. he recently committed suicide and that threw her over the edge.

I agree that it is mostly mental. I do them basically every weekend, starting like Thursday night going into may be Sunday (of course an occasional week-day usage here and there depending on my stash).  Every week go through withdrawl, then come Thursday, when I am feeling good again, the mental part takes over and I'm on the phone trying to make moves again (and I have to pay a lot of money to get them).  And you know what, its stupid.  The thousands and thousands of dollars I spent over the past 6 or 7 years of "weekend" abuse would have been enough to buy a brand new beamer or put a down payment on a house, which makes me feel like a jack-***!
I know it is easier said then done, but sometimes you have to just suck up the W/D pain, and realize that is probably not the worst part (it will be the mental.  Not to be a downer, just trying to be realistic to how it works for me).  Just KNOW that you will eventually feel good physically. I would say try to sleep off a few days as best you can at first, for the immediate symptoms.  But honestly, for anyone that has tried to stop before, you at least know what to expect now.  I hate to say it, but you just got to deal with it.  
Also, I find exercise helps.  Not to be judgemental, bu chances are if your popping 3 to 5 blues a day, you may not be on the best exercise regimine to begin with.  But anything is better than nothing.  I know you sweat just from the w/d, but exercise induced sweat is not bad either.  Like sit in a sauna or something.  At least, that always helps for me.  The worst part physically for me is the stomache pains.  I am about 12 days blue-free, and I pretty much feel fine, just got the bubble guts, kind of nasty.  But again, you just tough that out and deal with it.  Now, the next couple of days, I play the mental game.  Hoping for the best!!!!

If u have to go to work I would highly reccomend going to Suboxone.com an find ur nearest clinic. It works wonders an it's easier to taper off of that roxis. But if u are only doing up to 3 30s a day I would only take half of a 8 milg Suboxone tablet let it dissolve under tongue 30 mind later u will feel great. Its a lot cheaper thaan spending 120 bux a day for 30s half a Suboxone will last u all day. Gives u energy and everything.
