Opioids Using codeine to prevent OxyContin withdrawal

Thanks :)
And good luck! Sucks when this happens.

I do have enough to take 30mg oxy on each of the 2 days so I might take 5mg 3 times a day...might help slightly.
Frequent doses of codeine, anti-histamines and dirarrhoea medicine should make it bareable.

And oxy8- be careful with the histamines, they can make the restless legs (and arms) much, much worse (not being able to be still, feeling like your muscles are trying to crawl out of your skin..you will know it when you feel it). To me this is probably the worse part. You feel like you are dying and so exhausted but no matter how hard I try I cannot be still for more than seconds at a time. Well this and not being able to stray very far from a toilet without making a mess!

Okay...I got some Oxy coming in the next few hours I think/hope. I had the willpower to make my Oxy last. Felt bad but not terrible.I'm shivery and cold/sweaty and have mild stomach cramps but nothing too horrendous.

As for "learning my lesson" I suffer legitimate pain. Pancreatitis, 2 slipped discs in my spine...so I need large amounts of pain killers. I abuse them, yes, but I do need them.
 
i know that feeling man. i need em too but i always abuse em. i have tried but i do not have the self discipline to ration properly. i do however always use that 1 - 2 weeks of weeks of tramadol or codeine to keep my tolerance nice and low and my strong opiates working. weird, cuz when i hop on tramadol or codeine i have no withdrawals off of oxy whatsoever, even if ive been binging for months on end
