withdrawal after 1 month oxycontin use

So for the past 5 weeks ive been using oxycontin pretty much everyday. I think ive prboaly gone about 5-6 days without during this time. My doses started off at about 40mg needed and then they slowly rose to were i needed at least 2 80s to feel good but usually 3.

I havent used in 3 days due to my money sourse drying up and i am wondering if i should be expecting some harsh withdrawls?

the only thing ive gotten so far is trouble staying alseep and im cold or hot all the time I also have some diharrea and general "bad" feeling.. but i will be glad if this is as bad as it gets.

Listen to me clearly buddy..i have been taking oxycontin for about 2 years with a 5 month period in the middle where i was clean..i was taking 80 mg per day for the most part and was very addicted even at that level..i recently rose to 3-4 80s per day and my wds are so bad that i have not even been able to make it 3 days. You are lucky because your length of use is short enough to where you may be able to avoid the worst part of wds. However, if you continue to use the amount you are currently using you will soon be in a position where you lose control of everything. Your brain is going to stop producing natural endorphins because you are feeding it with the ultimate euphoria (oxy)..please take it from someone who is already in too deep to avoid wds..i hear you about the money issues, but just imagine if you continue using..you wont have enough money for anything anymore and everything you love about life will soon be gone. I dont want to be harsh and i will be here for anything you need..please message me if you want. I just feel like i can help you before you get in over your head because one month of use can easily be reversed..but a few more weeks or months and you will be in quicksand.
