Roxicet Withdrawals how long does it last???

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?

On my first day of wd, 12 30mg-roxi a day habbit for 5 years. I started at 2 a day and just got out of hand, I've always got them illegally after the first year. Luckily for me I moved out of state with my wife just this week specificly for this. I didn't want my family to know my addiction so we moved so bi can get clean. Today has been the worst I have ever felt. I have tried to quit before but always gave up the 3 day. I'm not taking anything to help, its my fault that I feel this way and I deserve the pain. I wish everyone luck on their goal and hope you will all make it. my last dose was yesterday at 5pm its 4pm now and ive already got the fever, hot cold, sweats, loss of appetite, runs, and too much stomach pain, small bit of body aches but the stomach pain kinda exceeds all other pain so its all I concentrate on. Well again good luck, I'll continue to post daily so others will know the gradual steps of how wd comes

I abused 30mg roxys and 80 mg oc for about 2 and a half years taking between 5-10 per day and would freak out when I was running out and didnt have. I finally have come to the conclusion that it has taken over my life and all that I used to care about had taken the back seat to the drug. I started in college and continued for about 2 years in the real world. I started going to a doctor that of course prescribed me suboxones. The subs help somewhat with the withdrawals, however there were still withdrawals symptoms that I had to face, anxiety, colds and sweats, insomnia. I started with the induction phase for the subs but then went cold turkey literally after 2 days. My doctor also prescribed me Klonopin, which strangely helped with some leg pains that I started to feel and ambien to help me sleep if needed, but the Klonopin helped me sleep either way.. It has been about 3 weeks now and the withdrawals are basically gone. However, I still get anxiety due to physical and mental urges to get roxys. But I've realized that the high we receive from the roxys don't compare to how bad the withdrawal can be. So, I am over the roxys and moving forward with my life. Hopefully this helps some of you guys. I'd also recommend a vacation while you start having the more severe withdrawals. I booked a trip to the Dominican Republic for 5 days just to get away form everything and to be around paradise basically which totally helped me mentally.
