Day 1 withdrawal, need advice

[Jen777]

Ok, so it's day 1 of my withdrawals. I was taking about 30 mg of oxy a night for sleep and I started my 24 hr period last night at about 8 pm of not having oxy. Last night I had restless arms but I took a combination of things that helped me sleep. Today I am feeling pretty ok.....a little restless, a little bit of loose stools. Is this what my withdrawl is going to be like or is the worst yet to come? My husband said it's going to hit bad tonight. Any comments?

I promise, if you tell yourself the worst is going to come then it will...Your mind is a powefull thing..I will say for me day 3 and 4 were the worst...I was taking 20, 10mg lortab a day.. My worst symtom was the RLS...Hot baths, heating pads around your legs if it gets bad...But keep a positive mind, that will help SO much....Fight with all you have..

You are on a relatively small dose of Oxy.  How long have you been taking it?  Length of time is a major contributor to w/d intensity.  In addition everyone is different with respect to their w/ds.  I hope you are through the worst.  Most seem to think the worst is usually day 3/4 then you start feeling better day by day.  Like I said in the beginning, you are on a relatively small dose...do yourself a big favor and stop now as b4 you know it this could start spiraling out of control.  Good Luck!

I am on about the same dose, and I have never made it that far day 1,,, the withdrawls were horrid for me.  I wish you all the best of luck.  My withdrawls were aches in legs and arms like a kicking sensation.  Warm baths did help alot to take away the aches as well as advil liquid gels.... good luck and keep coming back for support it helps so much...melodie
