whats going on?

[cbeau]

I'v been taking pills for about 3 years now on and off. i started out taking tab 10s and eventuly got up to oxycodone and cotin. At most i'v done 80mg in one day i stoped taking them 2 days ago and so far nothing? i was wondering if any body knows when withdraws start and for how long they last?

[nuredshuz]

clean cutting an oxy is not the same as crushing it... it keeps the time release if you clean cut it... sorry

[whitie]

there are different types of oxy's.  IE...... oxycontin ,and oxycodone. percs are oxy's. its a good read, but in the end it is synthetically derived from thebaine, and so is hydrocodone(norcos/vikes)

If you are cutting one pill into pieces then the slow release effect isnt there. It becomes just like any other pill that will last about 4-6 hours. By cutting them they get in your system faster and leave faster.. By only using oxy once a day at nite off and on I think you dodged the bullet this time. As I stated before you can take a medication for weeks before your body becomes addicted. Physical addiction and mental addiction are two seperate things. Physical addiction is when your body needs the drugs to function properly. When the body goes without it goes into withdrawal. Mental addiction is when you want the drug because it makes you feel good and you just like it and crave it. Hopefully in your case you dont have the physical addiction yet. Stop now PLEASE and get some help for the mental addiction so you dont end up like the rest of us. WD is no laughing matter. It isnt cool and it doesnt make you a tough guy. It isnt like on T.V were you withdrawal for a day, go to sleep and wake up all better. It is a week of pure physical suffering and months of mental suffering and cravings. No one here wants to see anyone go thru this hell if it is avoidable. Please listen to everone and get some help before you are just another addict looking for help with your withdrawals.

recently w hen i have done them i would just get a 30mg oxycodone and wait till about 7 o clock at at night to do it for fear that i would not be able to sleep! but on good days :( i would get a 80mg cotin and do 30 in the morning 30 in the noon and 20 before bed. but only recently have i gotten 80's maybe a month! so u dont think i will have withdraws?

You are rite lee, There is more than one kind of addiction. Your body may not be addicted but you diffinately have a problem with the drugs. So please stop now while things are still good. You dont want the WD. A na program would be a good thing for you.

[refusingbondage]

If you were taking unprescribed opiates every day for a year - you are certainly addicted. Perhaps you are just LUCKY and should be reeeeeeeally happy to have gotten through with no suffering (1 in a million odds - play the lottery huh!) SOOOO that being said - best not to push it .. I dont think you will be as lucky next time.. count your blessings and work to stay off drugs.

Anyway - congrats on 2 days!  Keep it up and enjoy life sober.

IN NO WHY DID I SAY NOT ADDICTED you would not be on here  if not, and clearly you were street using, and if you cant go more than 2 days not using , you IMO are addicted,sorry. hope. Everyone is diff but they will come, be prepared

Well with oxy it usually starts about 12-16 hours after last dose. Oxy is a slow released drug so it stays in there a longer than most drugs. Oxy withdrawals start out with lots of yawning and being very tired. Then the headache comes. If you havent gotten any withdrawals after 2 days you must not have been taken them on a regular bases for the body to become addicted to them. That or you must always feel like **** so you dont notice it....LOL. 80mg of oxy in a day is hardly anything. Thats only 4 20mg a day. If taken everyday you will become addicted tho and you will go thru withdrawals. In order for your body to become addicted you would have to take them on a regular bases for a while. You can take a medication for weeks on a regular bases and not get addicted. Sounds like maybe your off and on periods were long enough to escape the addiction. Please keep posting as i am very curious in what happens next. And dont take anymore oxy, you may have escaped a huge bullet!!!

well the first 2 years was about 3 times a week and the past year it has been every day and when i didnt have any money it would be a day or two at the most! and nothing with opiods in it just simply sleep. What do think? maby im not addicted?

[leeisgettingclean]

should have already started i think. but it depends on if you are takin anything else that has opoites in em. and also you say off and on, on average how many days would you go in between using
