From January 2-5, I've snorted exactly 280mg of Oxycontin. I've run out of it, and I leave for school tomorrow. I won't be able to get more until February if I'm lucky.
I used to take about 40mg a day, and no more than 60. However, I quit a long time ago, and went through serious withdrawals. It was a struggle.
Since I didn't snort any yesterday, I've been sweating like crazy and I've had a lot of stomach pains. It's actually been kinda brutal. Is it really possible for me to feel these effects after a few days, or am I just psyching myself out?
 
I have some trouble sleeping and RLS after short binges, but no stomach problems or sweating after just 4 days of using.
 
I'm on day 4 of similar circumstances (Forced to stop bc relocation)
I'm becoming more human everyday. Seems like i'm usually psyching myself out thought.
 
You sure can. I have started WD symptoms from three days of use in a row after a one week withdraw. I was sweating, sore bones, the works, but at a much lesser intensity.
 
I've been on oxy @ 160 + mgs per day pretty steady for the past 3 years from a few back surgeries. At that amount of mgs and from that many days you probably won't feel too much for length or severity of WD's. Its probably more mental like CableCat mentioned that your psyching your self out then anything.
 
I've been mostly opiate free for nearly a year (after nearly a decade of solid dedication to the warmth), and when I had a tooth pull last month I was getting some WDs after a few days on percocet. I have read it can take a year or more for receptors to return to normal after a long term career on opiates.

Immodium AD really does work wonders, I'd recommend you try it @ 6-8mg for opiate WD.It can take away 70% of the discomfort in my experience.
 
youre in opiate withdrawl, it can come on after only 3 days of back to back use. Though your symptoms will decline fast and the way youre feeling wont last long
 
It only takes a few days of bingeing (after already being an opiate addict) to cause a relapse, in which case withdrawal will occur. At that point, it is more of a mental withdrawal because your mind wants to continue using them so bad. That being said, physical withdrawals definitely can and will occur
 
You need to try to score some suboxone or methadone so you can function without experiencing these symptoms, if that's possible.
