Did I reset my opiate withdrawal?

[moonrockin]

Ive been using 40mg of oxy pretty much everyday for the past few months. I realized i had become addicted and now its time to stop. I made it 4 days and thought I Got through the worst of it, even though I Wasnt doing 200mg I was not able to get a good nights sleep to save my life. The aches were bad but not blow my brains outo bad. But today I stumbled upon a chunk of oxy, about 30mg probably. Being the dumbass I am I ate it around 930pm last night (about 4 hours ago). Am I going to be sick and writhing around in pain in my bed all day again in a couple days? I Don't think ill feel really bad tomorrow as it seems it takes a couple days for the WD's to really kick in. My question is did I just start the whole process over again? Will I feel as a bad as I did when I stopped after every day use, especially since I Just did 20-30mg?

Fuck, I hate my life

You may notice a small increase in acute WD symptoms, usually mirroring the amount of relief felt earlier.... nothing to reset you at Day-0, but the closer a minor relapse happens to Day-0, the easier it is to end up fully relapsing.
.... imho
It takes at least a day or two of resumption of habitual use, to screw things up totally..... but even a small one-time slip up is often one too many.
Just take a deep breath, and keep at your kick. It'll happen soon enough.

I agree with the above. I think that, (1) because oxy is only short-acting, (2) because you relapsed at day 4 and (3) because you had less than your usual dose of 40mg, you will be ok. It could even help things along - I stopped bupe at 2mg and then, 2 days into WD, took 1mg. I don't feel that it was a 'setback' as much as a sort of rapid taper.
