I was on 7 oxycodone a day when I quit cold turkey (8 years of daily usage) 2 monthsago. It was tough but I got through it.... so I thought. 2 weeks ago I caught an infection that required surgery and was prescribed oxycodone by the surgeon (nice test, God) . I planned on not taking them but as soon as the after surgery meds faded, I was in excruciating pain and had no choice. I actually exceeded his prescription and was taking 7-8 a day for 10 days. I quit cold turkey once again. last dosage was at around 2 pm on Friday and now it's 3pm on Monday. So I guess this is day 3. Now I'm wondering if this is a situation where I feel like shit because of some sort of "withdrawal" or if I'm just sick. I'm lethargic, body hurts all over , cold, bad headache, 800 mg of ibuprofen hasn't touched any of my symptoms, laid in bed 5 hours last night before I was able to sleep, coughing fits at night with drainage and diarreah. To further complicate things, I went to my Dr the day before I quit (Thursday) and was given a z-PAC because my throats was a "little red" and had a unbearable headache. I did a little research on the forum and most people say 2 weeks to a month is the time to take to become physically addicted. Now is 10 days possible for me due to prior usage or am I possibly just "sick". My personal opinion is I don't feel "infection type sick" and it does ring memories of my withdraws 2 months ago but maybe my mind is just playing tricks on me...btw my sore throats is gone , so maybe that z-PAC. Took care of it.
