Withdrawal Periods

[jonesing247]

Hey everyone - just a quick question -
I have been taking oxycontin 80mg 6-8 a day for 5 months. I recently went through withdrawl when i stopped for 5 days - I took again for 3 days, and stopped again for 5 days. Now since friday i have been taking them again, albeit only 2 per day - if i continue to take them until saturday and then stop (so i would have been taking them for 7 days) will I experience withdrawl again? Or did I already get the 5 months worth of **** out of my system during the first five day withdrawl? Sorry about the question, it sounds like one of those "if a train leaves station A at 11:30" questions. Take care and I hope all of you are well. Thanks, Mark.

yep..sounds like withdrawals to me.  If you only dosed once a day, the withdrawals should not be too hard to handle and should pass sooner. Just drink lots of water, take vitamin c, and look for the detox recipe, on one of the threads in this forum. The supplements in the recipe might help you feel better faster.

Good for you for quitting and I hope you feel better soon.
Keep us posted!
love,
WW

I have been taking propoxynp or i guess darvocets for a while (severval months)> i just stopped because i felt like i was becoming dependent on them. I only took a does of 3 at a time once a day. I stop 40 hours ago and my stomach feesl empty and my throat has swollen up and i feel nervous. Is this withdrawls?

sounds like your doing great, keep up the good work and the enthusiasm, it spreads quickly, it may be just what we need here.  I'm going to "Richardson's" tonight, is that where you go mini golfing?? My girlfriend loves it there, especially the ice cream!! Its on 114 in Lynnfield, anyway, have a great weekend, thanks for all the help and be sure to keep me informed. Talk to you soon.  I"m off to give my 2 wks notice at my part time job. ITS THE FIRST STEP TO SOBRIETY, knowing I won't need all the extra cash that was used for drugs!!!

i'm just hanging out with my kid today - we are going out to dinner and then miniture golfing - kind of a beginning of summer/end of school celebration.  i think we might be going away this weekend - not really sure yet.  we have a summer place on a lake.

watching your savings grow can be inspiring as well as going to the gym.  i work out too, and i've been doing it every single day - keeps me out of trouble you know?  by the end of this summer, i'll probably be in the best shape ever. as long as i'm on the bup, even a very small amount, i don't seem to crave the pills at all. i do miss the haze that i lived in tho - everything seems so much clearer now...that isn't always a good thing...haha.

have yourself a good weekend...please post if you need to - i'll be checking in no matter where i am:)

I want to thank everybody with your advise, I guess I will see how bad my pain is after I stopp the 7.5s to see if I really need them or not

ha, no I didn't avoid it, I actually just forgot, the downfall to drugs........ don't remember ****!!  Anyway, I haven't given it a whole lot of thought, the only thing I depend on is watching my savings grow which can be a very powerful feeling. The other is getting in the gym and stayin in the gym, its summer time, I'm sure I can manage to stay in the gym, but I don't really have an answer, I just know I want out, but i'm not sure how to stay out once I get there, you know??  I guess its just will power, i'm assuming that once a few months pass(3 or 4) things will start to feel normal again, so I'm hoping that by that time I will have a fruitful savings account, I will be in good shape and I will be much more focused.  If you have any other suggestions please post them!! What are you up to?
