Hi everyone,
long story short I have been on Oxycontin 40mg long release x2 daily along with up to 160mg oxycodone quick release daily for a year now. And bar the odd day I’ve been pretty consistent. On Monday of this week I went cold turkey.... and it has been hell. my pain level has been through the roof as have the shakes, crying, nausea and sweating. I barely drank for 3 days (maybe 300ml a day) and couldn’t eat for until today...
I have ended up taking one 40mg long release a day (one yesterday and one today) as I couldn’t stand the pain and depression (would rather have been dead than feel how I did). What I’ve found is that I am feeling really light headed now, can’t concentrate or do very much at all. But at least I do not have the sucicidal thoughts that I did and I have been able to eat a little more and drink a bit more.
I just don’t know if I made a mistake by ‘giving’ up at day four and taking a tablet a day... have I just made my detox go on for longer? Or have done the right thing? How quick can a hard user like me loose tolerance? Is this light headed feeling lack of food and fluid or from the oxy?
I’m just worried guys, I’ve never been as terrified as I was in the middle of last week. This detox has been forced on me in effect and as such my choices are, to either continue at one long acting tablet a day or cold turkey again...
