I've been into them for like 2-3 months now.. not too long I know but...
on sunday I have to go on vacation with my family.. getting on a plane and everything SO by then i gotta stop?
i would do usually 2 a day.. more recently 1 no MONEY... hah.
I wanna know is it possible that if I just do minimum amounts like a quarter-half a day would it be a lot easier than just stopping now.. I've gone all day without but its fucking too hard right now.. I'm shaking and everything...
I have school everyday this week and work tuesday thursday and friday so i dont want to be withdrawing on these days especially when my work days are up to 12 hours....:!
So...what do you think!
 
It would help to say how much oxycodone you are taking in milligrams as opposed to pills which come in different sizes.

Tapering as you mentioned is indeed an option and likely the most preferable, but if you have to jump off on Sunday you may still have a few days of less severe withdrawal during the vacation. Depending what part of the world you are in there is likely OTC (over the counter) options as well that will help. Codeine or even Loperamide for example.
 
Get some Loperamide (Imodium) at the local drug store and take like 40mg and wait an hour. If that does not help, take another 20 mg and it will take the withdrawal symptoms away for a good 24 hours. If you need to, take more and taper off it. Plus yes it will help to taper down the other stuff slowly too.
 
thanks for the quick responses...
I was taking 30mg pills so like usually 1and a half - 2
45-60 a day I guess
 
Luckily your habit is rather small. Loperamide (immodium) does wonders for withdrawal symptoms. Also, like you said, tapering is much easier than quitting cold turkey. Reduce your dose down to 5-10mg a day and then stop. You're withdrawals shouldn't be too unbearable.

If you have access to suboxone I would pick up a few of those for when you run out. Also, benzos help immensely.

But, why is it not an option to bring any pills with you?
 
Yep, either

1. Stop taking pills now and deal with life/school for 2.5 days with a moderate flu before vacation.....

or

2. Get enough pills to keep you going through your vacation and put em in a sock in your checked baggage
 
hahah ahhh the idea of bringing them fucking wont go away but... dont wanna risk anything..
going to florida from ny.. im sure down there theyre not as expensive

so im gonna go out now and get immodium....
and 4 blues.. :D

Try to find a few 8mg suboxone pills for the time being. Shouldn't cost you near as much as a roxi would I'm sure. If you get a few of these, take 2mg or 1mg a day you will feel normal, not HIGH, but possibly buzzed and you wont withdrawal.

Or go with what others are saying with taper and immodium but you willl still probably W/D that way as well
 
...Or use kratom! It will certainly help with withdrawal more than Immodium and is more easily obtainable than Suboxone (legally purchased off the internet)... more practical than Suboxone for tapering as well.

(I swear, someone besides me will give this advice eventually...)

I think buprenorphine is very practical for tapering; it just has to be measured very carefully.

I have never tried kratom so I have no input on that, however based on your positive experiences with it - I hope that other people get similar positive experiences out of it for softening the harshness of withdrawal. :)
 
Taper down to as low as possible then quit...I'd say if you possibly could, bring a couple with you on vacation in case it gets unbearable. If you can't bring any with you, you may need some loperamide, having the shits on vacation is no fun. Suboxone is your best bet though if you want to taper down on something.

I agree that it is in certain situations. The situations where bupe is most effective IMO is when someone is on a high dose of a potent opiate. Bupe could then either be used for a rapid detox or a period of maintenance followed by jumping to kratom.

Thanks btw, people's feedback has been great concerning kratom!
 
ahh i just got lmmodium but ill go out and get kratom too..

im staying in tampa and up in palm coast area... where everyone over 80 years old lives.. haha
I'm sure they're everywhere but.. traveling with family and wont have a car or anything..

ah.. what exactly is kratom? It looks like I can only buy online.. but its too late for that

Check out "the kratom thread" filed under K in the Other Drugs (OD) Directory. The OD Directory can be found at the top of the OD Forum or linked in my signature.
 
I was under the impression you weren't leaving until Sunday... I ordered kratom last night and it will be here Thursday. If you really want to get it quickly you could just buy from a vendor in the Southeast, there are a few and they ship the same day and it wouldn't take more than two days to arrive (Saturday included).
 
When do you leave?

Would you have time to get a script for suboxone? You can often get an appointment the same or next day and you get a script on the spot. Then you are totally covered cause you have a legit script.

One 8mg suboxone pill should last you through the whole vacation and some. Watch for precipitated w/d.

<snip>

Continue with the subs for a total of 2-3 weeks on a taper schedule and then stop all opiates. You shouldn't have much w/d.

ahhh im sure you did get robbed a lot.. everyone fucking fights for these.. crazy ridiculous..
my last dealer just got arrested.. really upsetting because it was one of those ones where through it you get kind of close and weve hungout at his appt and you know it was fun.. his girlfriend was home when someone they knew just broke in and knocked her out... took their money and shit!

but...yeah...
I got a few to last me and saving 1 for the plane ride there...
got a lot of imodium too...
Just gonna let this addiction play out till then and I hope the imodium helps because then it's gonna just be a cold turkey stop but.. it will pass and its what I need...
itll be a good 3-4 days of hell but eh...
the real part im scared about is coming back and getting right back into it...
I stopped about a month ago and went through 3 horrible days of withdrawal but then that was it... a week after that i did one and said EH its worth it...
 
In all honesty, if you plan on starting back up on the oxycodone when you return home I don't see why you would want to put yourself through the stress of withdrawal.

Especially if you are going to be on vacation. That doesn't sound fun at all. Even if the symptoms are minor, your family might notice.

Its not like you are bringing street drugs that dogs can smell with you. It is a small pharmaceutical pill. I know I shouldn't advise this but you could easily put a few of them with some other legit pills in your bag under the plane. Nobody will see them and even if they did randomly search your bag its not like they are going to arrest you for a few small pills that they can't identify most likely. Not to mention the fact that they actually could be prescribed to you they would have no idea.

I dunno, I would just try to be as comfortable as possible. If bringing some of the oxy with you is out of the question then I would suggest Immodium and kratom as others have already said.
 
just be careful with the loperamide, it will definitely help with WD symptoms but you can easily wind up holding and carrying with lope and if you jump off at a higher dosage without a taper, loperamides half life is long so you'll have long drawn out WD just from using lope itslef. Just a word of advice to all those wanna try lope
