What the the he*k?

I quitted cold turkey around of 560mg oxycodone daily use for few months thursday and haven't got any more or should I say even less withdrawals than when I cold turkeyd 120mg daily use.
Just a little bit lethargic feeking but nothing more except RLS last night.

Is it because of that huge amount used daily which will give some delayed withdrawals or what?

God if this time was so easy I won't touch opiates anymore ever.
 
Hmmmm...I don't know from experience, but I've heard that because Oxy is longer acting/has a longer half-life, the withdrawal syndrome kicks in a bit later and drags on a little longer, but is not as severe (compared to, say, H withdrawal).

I don't even know you but I'm stoked that you have minimal w/d symptoms. If you need any further support, BL is here.

That's a gigantic dose. I think you are going to need a proper detox program where they can help you taper down with methadone, Kratom, etc. Don't think cold turkey is going to turn out very well.
 
Idk to me it eventually all feels the same. Whether its 300mg+ oxy or bundles of dope or subs its the same shit. To me there is barely a difference once day 2 comes around. Especially as you get older.
 
Holy moly! That would easily kill me about 7 times over!

I really hope you are okay. If you have trouble, stem and vein kratom may upregulate the opiate receptors and help make it easier. PM me if you like, I have helped a bunch of people off opiates on reddit in /quittingkratom.

Joni, kratom is a relative of the coffee tree that has opiate-like qualities. It probably has some serotonin activity as well, so I would compare it to a middle ground between tramadol and demerol. It's addictive, but much less so than oxycodone while having nearly the same pain relieving properties in preliminary studies. :)
 
Hi everyone and thanks for caring.

I am good and yes the withdrawals werent delayed they just weren't at all as rough as cold turkeying 1/5 part use.

Could it be that as you go through many time over your life through withdrawals you just know what to expect and can be ready for them and therefore the first ones are the worst as there are antipacitory anxiety involved?

After a week and few days of abundance only it is quite stupid to say that I won't touch those stupid opiates anymore as I know I will be tempted to try sometime in my life and hope I have strength to stay away.

Opiates have always been in my adult life some kind of a bad "life vest" in situations I can't or don't wan't to deal and want to pretend that everything is allright. I don't want to stress normal psychologists with my problems as they would have to go through therapy by themselves after giving therapy for me :)

The bad part in quite short lived opiates (or was it opioids, if you want to include synthetic ones too) is that if you take your dose at the evening you can work as you would normally do and no one notices, except other users. You don't get hangover as you would get from some other substances and 4-6hours half-life makes sure you are not under the influence enough that you would look like being under the influence.

God damnit. Germans were quite geniuses in developing synthetic opi's at the end of 1920s and during 1930s and at the start of 1940s since their supplies of opium was getting lower and lower.

I remember oxycodone being intruduced to Hitler as a miraculous combat drug which could bring back a soldier to fight even if he would have taken a bullet and as a reason only SS forces and some essential Luftwaffe staff were given this drug.

First time I got a shot of oxycodone by a field medic in Afghanistan (As a peacekeeper, not as fighting force and that kind of situations were rare for us) and I actually felt I could fight and I did although I had broken my knee (maybe mostly because I pulled the knee joint back in place so I could walk. Bad idea I know) and some parts of my spine due driving into IED and then getting ambushed. I just yelled that medic to give me another shot and let me cover his arse while he treats others.

It was a weird feeling as at the same time you were relaxed but still motivated and energized. Well until the nods came out after two hours or so and we had already cleared the situation.

If anyone is interested, take a look what started my pains in knee and spinal cord.

I'm the guy that yells loudiest :) (wussy, well had to get that through radio :) )

That all happened because we were mistaken as Americans. Well I actually got the one who triggered the bomb in my sights but couldn't pull the trigger as he looked like 10-12 years old through zoom and was running away and therefore not a threat anymore and I still couldn't shot a child in any case either.

Anyway being in a Finnish Rapid Deployment Forces and therefore to become a peacekeeper means that you go through 12 months of "normal" training and also FRDF training too.

I heard from American soldiers that they send their soldiers to the field situations after 4months of training which is even 2 months less that the lowest amount of service each Finnish male had to go through (of course there are Civilian service for those not interested using weapons for a reason or another. I don't despise those 5-10 % who go through that).

Also I heard that they send 18 years old guys in a situations like Afganistan and Iraq?

Some interesting stuff to look if you are into military. http://m.liveleak.com/view?i=2ed_1353497133
Spoken as Finnish but has English Subtitles

Stupidly named by someone as it is about special training Rapid Deployment Forces receives even during their normal 12 month training and after that and not Finland making war in Afghanistan as we were there preventing war, not making one and on UN mandate building schools and dispensing food and water for civilians.

And I have always been a "functional addict" and never had any addict friends or lived under the street or other that stuff.

It is not always those guys giving them shots under the bridge who are addicted but they might be the guys wearing a suit and carrying a case speaking their newest iPhone about important business issues next to you in some commuting method like train or subway or driving down the lane with their newish cars or your kid's godfather who seems to do well and is always happy and cares for your child.

This was the cause for me as I had a steady supply of Oxycontin (the old OC ones as we still have them) for 120mg per day and I learned to misuse the system for opiate control in pharmacies (nationwide) and used plenty few doctors when I run out too fast.

Problem is that due my MRIs etc. I could always start this again whenever I want no matter If I told about the problems to Docs who prescribed them as I can take those medical records and MRIs with me and go to other Doc.

I just had to have some willpower and start going NA and to get help from other sources too like other addict support groups in my area.

I have for this far hated the idea of going into NA as I am atheist and NA for me sounds like learning towards religion as well as AA but i'll give it a try. I can always just discard the religious stuff and stick for what works for me.

This far I have started taking pills for depression as prescribed by Psychiatrist (Venlafaxine) which should help for the mood issues which might arise or start a manic episode since I am bipolar :)

I also visit mental health nurse once a week.

Of course my mom and dad knows and will support but we are going through a bad episode with my wife since I caught him cheating on me for over a half of a year during start of a year.

That was of course when the opiates came around.

We still life together (and she still cheated on for months but I haven't mention that I know about it) but have some kind of cold war going on still so no much of support coming from there as we life like roommates nowadays and even started open relationship which I haven't even tried on my part as I don't believe in those :)
