oxy withdrawal help

[Haroldw]

Was taking 20mg IR per day for 2 months.  tapering down to 15mg last week, then today I took 15 mg of hydrocodone.  I have felt fairly normal throughout all the transitions until I am now down to 15mg which is last dose today,  Wondering how severe withdrawals will be at this point? Any opinions...?  

Im slim, younger male in mid twenties

Any thoughts on utilizing klonopin during the intial detox?

Its been 48 full hours since my last dose of a 5mg hydro,  The last day I took only 15mg of hydro slept well and woke up to a very restless day which ended fairly well due to hekp from 1mg of klonopin. took tyl pm to sleep.
Now on day 2 I would have expected some moderate to severe symptoms by know but mostly I just ache a litte. No anxiety though which is helpful  

Do you think I am through the worst of the physical?  I know that mentally is much more of a challenge,,,

The Klonopin's handy, if you can get some. Like our U.K. poster wrote, you can always wean for another week if you're really slogged out, but I think you'll be fine if you can get lots of sleep.

Sounds like it'll be a pretty easy go.

Its now been 24 hours since my last dose of 5mg Hydrocodone.  I felt very uncomfortable around the time of day(2:00pm) when I would usually dose.  But its been 4 hours since then and now I feel calmed a bit and not feeling as cold.  we live in Pac NW where its still colder 40-50degrees in an old house.  Ive been eating and have an appetite.  I have to be honest, I took .5 mg Klonopin earlier really took the edge off and I have been smoking marijuana.  I think the weed really helped my appetite and Ive actually been feeling pretty good these last couple hours.  Its been 24 hours as I said...
will W/D peak by tommorrow and then still be prevelant on day 3?  A friend laughed at me when I was complaining about W/D from this dose and this amount of time, maybe he was right, maybe it wont be too severe...

Any thoughts

You may just get lucky with a 2 month history and a 20mg dose ..... but its a **** shoot trying to predict who will have a hard time and who will get off more easily .... never seems to make any kind of sense to me.  Hopefully you will be lucky and things wont be too bad at all ......

Its been 16 hours since my last 5mg dosage hydrocod.  W?D from my initial dose probably would have been worse but I still think that I am in for at least a couple days of being very uncomfortable.

Am i just being a wimp? worrying about W/D from 15-20mg dosages?

Hi there,
             Im weaning off the UK version of the opioids your taking. My advice would be to not just stop at that dose but now half the dose or go even lower ie 7.5mg for 3-5 days, then a litle less until you are on the smallest dose possible , then stop. If you stop you may experience nasty withdrawals from aching joints, insomnia, depression, restlessness, shaking, shivers , sneezing, flu like symptoms.  You may have a really easy time but you may also have a really rough ride hence my advice to wean off gradually as 15mg is still a decent dose.
Im taking coedine phospate 60mg and was taking up to 35 a day im now down to 20 and havnt had side effects due to weaning.
Also it shouldnt be overlooked that you have done immensly well to get to  the point your at now as your almost done, you are bloody brave as im struggling.  There is help and support for you 24 hours a day and you are never alone.
All the luck in the world
