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?

I have been clean for 3-4 months at a time first time used Suboxone and diet pills an Xanax it worked wonders. I was using 5 to 10 30mlg roxis a day. Money is no object when it comes to getting high. I started again an have pawned everything I own for the habit. There is a new shot out called vivitrol that u take once a month that blocks u from getting high and keeps withdrawals at bay I'm looking into that next. Its terrible. It will take over ur life. Good luck everyone.

Thankfully, we are talking months not years...and not terribly high doses. I used every day for 4 yrs oxycodone. I am 41 days opiate free. You should go to the top of the page and see "start post" as this one is quite old...start your own, you will get more responses. I have come to see these pills as total evil and with prayer, and support you can become a drug free mom. It's Grace that brought you here..we all understand. It would be best if you could be honest with your bf...that's a good start. Then you can go to the bottom of this page right side..see Thomas's Recipe/Amino Acid Protocol ..these are supplements/vitamins/amino acids..that will definiitely help with w/d. You can do this. Prayer also helps big time. Thsi is 2/3 mental and 1/3 physical battle. You will have what is like a very bad flu..for 5-7 days (it all depends..but you are young otherwise healthy, and only using a somewhat short time) You drink lots of fluids, Gatorade...You can do this..If I could YOU CERTAINLY CAN! You have much to LIVE for!
God Bless You

Wow seems as though these pills are satan! I just had my first child and I started doing roxies for pain after child birth. Wish I never started. Now, I'm so scared. I feel so alone. My boyfriend doesn't know how many I've been doing and I need help :-( I'm desperate...I don't want to keep doing this, its too expensive, its not giving me the same effect anymore, and I don't want to turn to dope (God forbid). I DON'T wanna be a drug addict mother, I want to do something different for my son and I want him to experrience a life I never had :-( I'm just terrified. I haven't been doing them for too long...3 months straight (everyday by mouth about 5 a day)...how bad are my withdrawels gna be? HELP ME PLEASE.

There is no easy way out.Ther is no thing like whening off you simply or not so simply'you just have to stop.It really comes down to will power .How bad do you really want to stop.The only way is to just get it through your head that it just not easy and it will be painfull. xanax helps with the tension but I don't see how taking another drug like suboxin is going to help when pill poppin is the problem. The drug does make's  u feel good but is it worth everthing you own.There's really only one way, just stop do your time and deal with it u just have to decide 4 yourself drugs or the drugs u already naturally have in your brain .Once your clean you will probably always think about how just a little would'nt be that bad.But once u start it will be just like the first time .Like I said before you  just hve to decide once and for all it just not worth it and stop 4 ever.

hey all.... i have been addicted to roxy's for about a year and a half and today is my 15th day sober. this is probably my 10th time trying to quit (no exageration). Lately before i had stopped i felt i was getting out of control and thought to myself that i was never going to be able to get clean because i was taking anywhere from 6-12 blues a day.. I hate myself for what i have done to myself and those around me. My family doesnt know of my addiction although they do suspect i have been using drugs, but only if they actually knew ;(....... withdrawals are the worst thing ive ever had to deal with in my life. they tear you apart phiscally and mentally. this is maybe the 3rd time ive stopped using soboxone. It helps! i couldnt see myself being clean without them. before i have quit i was doing really bad. i did pretty much anything i could think of just to get the money for it. Oh btw, i work and go to college both full time. i feel better now, no physical withdrawals except some sweats sometimes but the mental anguish is still here. the blues are all i think about, i cant get them out of my head. i wonder of all these people on their 1,2, or 3rd day of quitting, how long do they actually last? i wish all the best because i know how hard it is too struggle from tthis bullshhhh. i hope i can trully stop this time. when i met my girlfriend i was clean 2 weeks and even told her about it. but then i went back to using everytime i saw her and although she had no idea i was on them i wish she did so that she could help me get off them. for the time i was on (a yr and a half on blues and maybe another 8 months before on perks) my best friend from childhood (basically like my brother) gave me the cold shoulder and nothing but tough love and honestly i think he is the only reason i was able to stop. having your best friendf turn away from you and not call you or contact you really upset me and made me realize what i was doing to myself, but if he was only able to understand what i was going through; the pain, the mental anguish, the HELLL!!!! i would reccomend anyone trying to stop to use soboxone because it really helps. anyway i g2g..... good luck to all and wish me luck as well, we all really need it!

you r all a bunch of pussies! there is nothin better than eatin roxies and enjoyin the high. no need to stop. and life will neva be the same if u quit. 97% relapse, so quit tryin. shouldnt have started in the beginnin. now its too late for things to be the same as before. so rob that bank, sock that **** to make enough dough for more blues and enjoy the nod. i personally have a 250 dollar a day habit. u dont see me whinin.
