Day 3..............Then the cold and sneezing began!
Those lasted for several days, but the most uncomfortable days were definately 1-3 with day 3 being the hardest.

I have to agree with eagle.. this was also my experience.. the one that stands out is no sleep for 8 days.. finally passed out.. what a blessing..

The acute withdrawals for me peaked at day 4-5.....but some annoying withdrawals went on and on......

Congrats joseph,  Day 3 and feel ok, walking the dog!!  Remember your mind is so powerfull, tell yourself that you have made it, and it is not going to just hit you...I think you may just be looking at the mental part to hit, so just prepare yourself, post, and you will do Great...

For me it was definetly Day 3..That was coming off of around 20 ,10mg lortabs...Although i did manage to get up and walk, not very long, but a few times that day for short periods..Every day after that was more about sleep, sneezing, and
RLS.....But at least after day 3, I didn't feel like I had been hit by a Truck....

Great post worried!!

Day 2-3 was brutal for me.  I was so busy running to the bathroom.  Very small price to pay for how things are now.

I am curious about this too. Because I am comming off of 200mg a day of Oxycontin for 2 years. I am on day three right now, and suprisingly feel OK. However, I am on the Amino Acid protocal with Klonopin most of the time. I even took my dog for a walk today when I woke up. I have a bad feeling that it just has not hit me yet.

My w/ds went on and on and on, I jumped off 2mg of sub after 13 month taper starting with 32mg. I didnt think they were ever going to end and the sleeplesness and tiredness went well over a month, wores w/d I ever went thur.

everything got easier after day1.  My DOC is Roxi's, a very short acting opiate.  That has a lot to do with it.  The shorter acting, the sooner wd set in.

I was detoxing off a jump of 25 mgs of methadone so my physical w/ds went on into 2 weeks and longer.Although after the 2 weeks it got a little easier.It took me about 6 weeks before I actually felt that physically I had turned the corner.....Kim
