A taste of Opiate w/d

[ultravyletsunrise]

Doesnt taste soo good. It actually all started with me getting prescribed vicodin 5mg after a dental surgery aroud the middle of august. Went through two scrips of those..and inevitably I eventually went to perc 10s all the way through september. And right around beginning of october up until about 5 days ago i was snorting/eating up to 40-50mg oxycodone a night nearly every night.
After catching myself in the midst of this addiction I knew I had to stop. So I did...cold turkey. And man ohhh man does this suck! Runny nose, feeling of "things just dont feel right in my life", and very little sleep. I honestly cant imagine being a heroin addict for 5.....10+ years and stopping or trying to.. Such a nasty feeling I NEVER want to go through anything of the sort ever again.

Just one question though....about the nagging depressive feeling that just looms in an' out throughout the day? When will I eventually feel "mostly back to normal" given my few month binge on oxy? Each day "seems" to feel better for the most part buy many times throughout the day I still have that depressive mindset.. And adivce on how much longer this will persist given my time frame and any tips to help recover/cope?

Thanks a mil-
UV

similar story to mine.......I didnt progress quite as fast, but I spent 3 years progressing and by the end was snorting and popping 80mg lortabs or about 90mgs roxicet. I know that exact feeling you are having......weird isnt it. Especially for me as I am not a depressed or anxietal person when Im not addicted to drugs or alcohol.

Give youself AT LEAST 2 weeks for the depression to end...........It will get better and better each day. You can live a great life and enjoy yourself without opiates. I am not quite there yet but been off my DOC for about 27 days now and feel less depressed and better each day. The depression actually is almost gone. I couldnt imagine my life without opiates when wding.......that all ends evetually.

As a good friend of mine says........"will be find"

in a month you will certainly be all healed up. Just give it some time. I have found ultram helps me get off pills, but it is an opiate so you're just putting off the pain of w/d. But I use it to step myself down.

I'd like to think you'll be ok Because, only judging superficially from your post though, your life is not in shambles, and you haven't lost yourself, so the depression has a chance to really leave soon, and only be caused by the actual withdrawal.
You tried vics cause of a script, and enjoyed the feeling, [who wouldnt wanna keep feeling "good" every day] but hopefully, justh opefully, you weren't self medicating, or covering up personal issues within yourself, therefore, I have full faith that you will feel amazing so very soon!

Opiates are wicked- no dicksizing, but if you hate this feeling so much now, just imagine how bad it would be if your habit was stronger, or was heroin! I only say that so you're motivated to try and stay away from addiction again 5 days off already shows how smart you are, and how strong you are

Stay positive hun, cause I think you're gonna be feeling naturally good really soon!!!
