Need your opinion on a 4 week binge

[LostStudent]

So glad I found this site, seems like a great place for inspiration and support.
   Now here is my story. I'm 26 years old and have gotten over a pretty hardcore oxy habit I had for 3 years. I've been doing really great, sober for 2.5 years (besides a very rare few times) up until a month ago. My girl left me and I turned to the only way to kill the pain I knew, pills. For the first two weeks I was using 1-2 roxy 30's about 3-4 times a week. Then the monster was alive and well and I started using daily. 4-6 roxy's a day for the first week then 2-4 oxy 40's up until yesterday, when  I took 1 oxy. Today I also did one and have a morphine 30 for tomorrow.
   This might sound silly but I am wondering in your guys opinions if my withdrawals will be bad and how long? When I first quit I didn't sleep for over a month, and didn’t feel normal for a long time, 6 months or so. I am interested because since I sobered up I've gone back to school. I'm doing surprisingly well, making dean's list ever semester. This week is spring break, lame to get sick now, and am hoping by the time school starts up again next week I will feel better.
  Thanks for being here to help,

I can totally relate to your problem.  I too was doing Roxies , I lost count of those during a day, and the Oxys anywhere from 10-12 80 mgs a day.  This went on for about 5 years and before that it was every other pain med my doc would give me.  (You gotta love Pain Management)  NOT,  as my husband told the doc, you are nothing but a legal drug pusher!..  

I am 19 days clean, but I made the choice to go into detox. I had to, I could not do it at home, I would always end up in the hosp from W/D.  Believe me, I still feel like **** most days, but I know I am getting better everyday, thanks in part to the  help of people here.I.    As far as the restless leg , they do make a non-narcotic for that.  Mirapex and it does work.  

Good Luck

Good

I have always heard each time you detox it is harder than the last time. But I don't know. I would check out the thomas recipe and amino acid protocol at the bottom right of the page. buy lots of juice and food, take lots of hot baths. keep posting, we are here to support and help you. take care my friend and remember one day at a time.

good luck
