I have been at a 100mg/day dose of oxy ir for well over a year now. It he last dose I had was 20mg at 8 am Sunday morning. I have had approximately 16mg loperamide since Sunday and have been using my SOMA to help me sleep. Can someone please tell me what to expect in the next 3 to 5 days. Please!

Well 100mgs isnt a huge oxy dose daily however you will experience WDs. Altought the severity depends person to person the general symptoms will be runny nose, sweats, insomnia, strong cravings, no energy or desire to move, vomiting, no appetite. Its different for everyone, opiate WDs are the worst thing anyone can experience my habit was a little worse, I was on Oxy plus Dilaudid plus Morphine plus Heroin. I literally felt like I was going to collapse and die (I was actually wishing I would). Its no fun, best of luck. Im not trying to scare you, just letting you know what to possivly expect.
you should be fine in 5 days form now. At this point it is about as bad as its going to get. If you are able to get some sleep with just using Soma then you are not too bad off. A lot depends on how quickly you metabolize the drug, the quicker then the shorter the w/d. Expect it to remain this bad for around 24-36 hours more and then it will begin to get better over the next appx 3 days.

Just keep your mind occupied, don't let negative thoughts and feelings consume you.
Hang in there, the withdrawals sometimes don't present themselves or last long.

Cymbalta will not directly help with acute withdrawals, but may help with PAWS. That's all I've got. I could sit here and go on about my troubles with opioids, but I don't believe that will help you. Experiencing it all yourself and doing more research will.
Good luck.
Good luck.

you will most likely feel like you have the flu&and a mental desire to just not exist. It's horrible. Oxy w/d's were so painful, especially the first time i came off cold turkey of 100mg. but please keep positive thoughts. laugh and smile as much as possible even if you don't really want to.
Now that you are going to be sober, i recommend you start seeing life from a sober perspective. When you find something beautiful, (like a sunset), take a moment to reflect on how you are feeling JOY without drugs. It will feel AMAZING , trust me.

Well, it's still been since Sunday morning and I guess after reading about everyone else's experiences on here I am luckier than most. I thought 100mg/day oxy was a high dose for over a year. I used my remaining soma the last 3 nights and got 4 hours of sleep each night. I am extremely lethargic and have absolutely no motivation to do anything. I finally have started doing laundry and cleaning just so I don't lay around anymore and to keep my mind occupied. Anyway, the one thing besides sleeping (I am dreading tonight as I'm out of soma) is that I seem to be hyper emotional. I ran across some pics of my dad (he passed in 2002) and just looking at them made me start blubbering like an idiot. How long will this state of mind last in most cases? I cannot tell my wife and daughter what's going on or my wife would leave me. Just feel so alone. And, after reading other folks stories I feel like a big baby! Anyway, thanks for listening and responding everyone. I really do appreciate it.
Kicking 100 mg oxycodone is no walk in the park, everything you descried is pretty much the standard w/d for a habit that size. But I think as you may notice, it is doable. Not to be a downer, but sleeping will be very difficult without a sleep aid and a powerful one at that. You can try OTC ones like diphenhydramine, but it can amp up some of the RLS and might not be powerful enough to induce sleep. You are probably looking at 2-3 more nights of no sleep without a powerful sedative knocking you out. If you get no sleep tonight I would suggest heading to your dr or a walk in clinic and they will probably Rx you a small amount of something to help sleep.
Thanks for the advice. I guess I should say as well that I am prescribed 40 mg oxy per day for chronic low back pain and sciatica. I have an appointment next week. Thing is, the ness are for the constant pain but as you can tell I take my rx in about 2 weeks or less. Until I was prescribed the oxy, life was nearly unbearable. I now remember exactly what the pain feels like again. I have also tried every non narcotic under the sun with no pain relief. Now after this episode I don't know if I should just stop seeing my pain management doctor and live with the pain or not. I do recognize that I am taking more than prescribed and have figured out that because my tolerance is increased it takes more of the drug to lessen the pain. Really not sure what to do now

If I were to use opiates only once a week(actually waiting 7 days between doses) for recreational value are withdrawal symptoms going to creep up sooner or later? How about tolerance?
I quit QT at approx 100mg last year .
It was one week super hell, one month till everything was back to somewhat normal. Depression got bad and I thought I needed prozac to help, but I just needed to wait for my brain to heal itself.
That was a hard month.
I'm doing it all over again right now. Except this time I got to about 350 mg /day and am using a sub taper to stop. At 1 mg sub right now. jumping sometime next week.
If you are successful, never ever touch it again. Or it will be 3X as hard to stop.

4 full days. Feeling a little better. Took Benadryl last night and finally fell asleep at 3 am until 630. It definitely is improving although I am having intestinal issues so I'm going to take a small dose of loperamide. Only 4mg which seems to do just enough to relieve the upset stomach and intestinal uncomfortabilility.

Tolerance will, withdrawals wont.
#Agreed, if you are able to go a week without using you aren't programming your brain to having the drug on a daily basis, so you won't have to worry about withdrawls.

I'm happy it was a success.
It shows us that a plant which can feel so good by exerting warm waves of euphoria within the body can prove to be 'toxic.' It shows that on earth there are natural chemicals that affect our minds because they are toxic but we ingest them for purposes of healing and new ways of perception. What really needs to be watched for oxy is that it has no ceiling effect, and also releases from the system extremely fast. There is such thing as spontaneous withdrawal which can catch someone unexpected within 6 hours. The ceiling effect is why it starts at 20 a day, then it goes up to a 100, then 10 30's a day. When it goes up to 100 and above and it is leaving the system, everything happens at once - the anxiety is literally strong enough to cause insomnia, in that case one can be reduced to looking at the clock with no energy wondering how the minutes can go by so slowly. Then the flu symptoms kick in at the peak and is the most difficult part. In my case I was in a position where I couldn't take it, it was too much for me. Then I tried subs and was able to get it out. There are a lot of opinions out there about subs and as I am studying I think it is due to an amazing amount of disinformation about them, surprisingly.

I ran out of my pain meds the last two months (I know, I know, I'm a fuck-up). I'm on more than you OP and it takes 5 days or more to get over it. I actually ate one full meal in 4 days most recently and your comment about not sleeping until 3:00 is spot on. I sweat and freeze on and off, my legs do a jig and I have to get up and walk the floor before I can lay back down but I'm finally breaking out of it. You will too! The other problem is my stomach hurt all the fucking time.
I actually saved a few oxycodones (15mg) and used them sparingly to get sleep. I'd do a 1/4 or 1/2 a pill and lay back down. I usually fall asleep in a bit. Mind you, only a couple hours but when you can't sleep, you take what you can!
I'm pretty sure most of the folks here know about these problems and it really sucks! You'll get there though.

i have a ton of experience with this. my best adivce to you is to try as hard as possible, as impossible as it seems, to keep your mind in a positive place, do not think about the w/d or it gets worse. also, i know for a fact smiling alot tricks your brain into releasing feel good chemicals so even if youre feeling down, just keep smiling or try to watch a movie you really love, or something that will make you laugh. the first day of w/d will be the easiest. by the 2nd day youre entering hell, end of 3rd day you feel like you did on the first day just a tadf worse, 3th day youll be feeling better, and by 5-6 youll be creating dopeamine on your own again which will help you immensely. god bless you and i hope you make it, i never have and ive tried 15-20 times... but i have a weak mind probablu due to my severe anxiety to on the first day for me its horrible, 2nd day almost un bearable... but if you can make it to the end of tyhe 3rd day and sleep much as possible by dat five youll fel right as rain. god bless you and i hope you make it

I've been an opiate addict for many years. at the height of my addiction, I was taking 30 Lorcet 10/650's. then I discovered Opana, (before they re-made them where you cannot crush them!) and I was snorting them all day long. I had 30's, 40's, and I don't remember how many I was taking that last year or so, but it was a lot. and I drank wine every night as well. How I still manage to even HAVE a liver is beyond me. I
've been tested a few times for everything, and my health is absolutely perfect! miracle!
anyway, throughout the years, I went up and down, on and off, usually due to not being able to find or afford my pills.
so, I then discovered Suboxone!! I've been on it for a little under a year, and it's been a "wonder-drug" for me. not only do I not have cravings, but I just feel normal all the time. I feel good, have energy, have a positive outlook on life. I know realistically that even if I were to take opiates, I wouldn't get high from them, as the sub/bupe blocks the receptors in the brain. so that helps me too. you could lay a bunch op pills of every type, shape and size in front of me right now, and I wouldn't be in the least tempted!! so, I don't know if that's an option for you, doesn't sound like your habit is high enough to justify the need for something like suboxone or methadone. just know that there are things like that out there that do help. in the meantime, you'll be be better soon, just don't do the yo-yo thing like I did for so long! cause I really am lucky/blessed to be alive!!
