Opioids How long until withdrawal period ends?

[sveets]

After 3 months of being sober i relapsed (once i got back to school). For the past month and a half or two months i've been doing anywhere between 75-120 mg of oxy a day, sometimes more and occasionally mixed with some hydrocodone and benzos. Lately due to oxy not being around as much i've also been dabbling in H. I've only snorted it, but I've done 2-3 bags some days mixed with oxy. I need to stop using opiates because its really fucking up my life but it's so hard to stop. I left school for the weekend so I could spend 3 nights at home where there's absolutely no way of me obtaining any opiates. I feel like shit. Hot baths help for a little. Benzos (xanax) didn't really seem to do anything, and I'm all out anyways. I feel like the upcoming days are going to be worse than today since I did 60 mg of oxy last night and a bag of dope (I didn't even feel "high" from the dose). How much time am I looking at until I stop feeling physical withdrawals? I can handle the mental, or at least I think I have the strength to.

The first 4 days are worst for me, then it start's easing up.

After a week off I usually feel relatively "normal".

When it comes to opiate withdrawl's it's best to just face it head on and get it behind you.

Your doing the right thing, the pain will only be temporary, look forward to the freedom ahead.

Do you think a couple beers would help me get my mind off of the oc? Right now all i have is cigs and im burning through packs like nothing.

alcohol helps, but you need to drink plenty of fluids when you do or else you might get a hangover, which will accentuate the withdrawals.

three to five days, unless ur on bupe or done' then that can be weeks.....

what he said^^^

what up skagggg

 

[SkagKush]

holla james, not much, waiting for the girl, drinking and smoking ganj, quite faded really

The physical withdrawal shouldn't take more than a few days. Since you have no benzos, some melatonin may help you sleep. You may want some imodium because getting the runs was always a problem for me. Especially if you're planning to drink which will furthur dehydrate you. I'm glad you made this decision to stay off the opiates. Best of luck to you. ~theresa

 

[jamesBrown]

Waiting for the girl?.....where I live that means your about to buy some cocaine(white girl). im assuming your waiting for an actual female?

I wish I can smoke ganja, I got my drug test in a few days so I dont wanna risk it.....one fuck up and its straight to prison.

o snap... def not worth it, ya a real female, my girlfriend. ive been so good with drugs, have not even done any yay........

Smoking weed equates to doing drugs. Im not sure what you mean by..."have not even done any"

 

[SkagKush]

i have not done any "yay" being yayo or blow lol. i got my med cannabis card, so i dont consider that using

 

[SkagKush]

i normally drink to much
use dope every day
benzos
and coke, and just about everything under the sun really

only bupe nowadays, my pot which is my meds, and a drink here and there

 

[jamesBrown]

I think you should say you have changed the "way" you use drugs......not "i dont use drugs anymore".

I mean if you think about it, you still are using an extremely potent opiate on a daily basis, and also smoke weed, which is a drug even if its legal for you to smoke it. Just like alcohol or tobacco, they are both legal, and yet they are still drugs and kill more people than any illegal drug known to mankind(alcohol and tobacco that is). You also drink alcohol as you mentioned, which in my opinion, is the deadliest drug in the world. It has killed more people than ANYTHING else on the planet....more than all the worlds wars combined. I HATE alcohol. I cant even describe to you how much I dislike that drug.

 

[SkagKush]

i never said "i dont use drugs anymore" all i said was that ive been good.

 

[jamesBrown]

o snap... def not worth it, ya a real female, my girlfriend. ive been so good with drugs, have not even done any yay........

I assumed that you were saying..."I havent even done any(drugs)...yay(as in, yay thats great)".....so I guess you were saying you just havent done any coke. My bad. But you gotta hand it to me, its very easy to misenterpret what you typed...I mean come on..."ive been so good with drugs, have not even done any yay......"...very confusing. shame on you.

 

[SkagKush]

hahaha ya i agree, sorta drunk and half asleep....

im doing alot better then i used to b.... bupe is a god send.

no more coke or other drugs.... mdma, acid, k.

and def no more speedballing

Like you, I stick to my prescribed drugs for the most part. Especially since im on 2 seperate probabations, that I will go straight to prison if I fuck up on them. But, every month ot two, if I know for a fact i dont have a drug test soon, ill do some coke, or smoke some weed. but this is just a rare treat. i even use heroin or oxy again sometimes, its just that after I got clean, and after I realized how much opiates have ruined my life, im not really that interested in doing dope anymore. Like, it can still get me high cuz of my low dose suboxone, but I dont enjoy it nearly as much because of how much it has fucked up my life. So i stick to other drugs.
Of course if some shrooms or acid come my way, ill take that any day. they dont test for that shit in the drug tests.

OK man here are the FACTS... For your habbit it is going to take you 5-7 days to Detox. after 5 days you will not feel sick and gross like u have been, then after this period you will feel unlike yourself and resless for the next 2 weekish. but after about 3 weeks to a month u will b fine totally fine.. you just will now b a feind for opiates for the rest of your life.

Watch out because for me IT takes about 3 days to get my body re addicted again. after being off opiates for like 3 months this is the case.. So once you are clean for a while if u can do opiates for 2 days max in a row and then take a break for at least 2 weeks you will b able to #1 keep ur tolerance low and #2 keep from getting dependent physically.

I dont think you should really do opiates after you get clean this time but we all know you will.. So please heed my warning and dont use for more then 36 hours in a row. so start on like a friday at noon and end on sat night nothing on sunday. and then u gotta make sure u wait for at least a week and a half, 2 weeks would b better. mind you if u are doing this you will get addicted again and mess up this cycle but if u can keep to it I know you can b not addicted physicaly for at least a year doing this on offf thing..

I know this cuz i did it for a year due to drug testing anyway. I got up to doing 240 mg a day of oxy by the end and since I was doing it on and off like this i could efford these high costs. but really its not worth it. like you said its fucking with ur life.. and pretty much man if ur in college what your doing is sooo not the cool thing to be doing girls that are worth something will think ur trash and u wont get ur shit done. so for real good luck I hope you do better then I have.. And what ever you do do not start using suboxone or subutex because both of these drugs will cause you to b hooked on opiates even more and u will have to feel dope sick for a month untill you can get to the point were you do after 7 days with heroin.. pretty much its like methadone and fucking sucks to kick even if u get down to a low dose...

SO YA 5-7 days to feel like u can live your life and do things again more on the 5 days side... Then for the next 2-3 weeks u will go through PAWs (post acute withdrawl syndrom) so you will feel unlike urself and have small withdrawl symptoms...

list of things that will help

For the first 5-7 days
-You need a benzo for all day and night.
-a Sleep aid, (ambein or seriquil will do well) somthing not over the counter
-Cannabis

after the 5-7 days (so the 2-3 weeks after till ur normal 100%)
-Cannabis will b ur best freind
-benzos for the restlessness but only taken for the day time and reduce ur dose in half from the dose for the first 5-7 days..(your not trying to get hooked on benzos now, and if u relapce while taking benzos know that you can die from mixing benzos and Heroin or any opiate.they make one an other double as strong)

Again good luck and I hope this helps... for real you got 5 days to worry about and once ur through that u will b fine for the next two weeks I only mention the two-three weeks after because some people dont actknowledge this but I always noticed it alot cuz I have crazy add so i notice being restlessness more then most.. anyway u will b FINE.. and do this route because if u start with Suboxone/methadone ur gonna get hooked to that and put off the inevitable unless u wanta b on it for the rest of ur life like some people are ok to do and write themselfs off in this fashion.. but seeing as u are in school and around my age I really hope u take what Ive told you and do what I should have done and just quit the shit now.. other wise you will b freindless and alone doing heroin in ur room shooting it till ur out and then looking for more finding it and redoing it all every day every day .... good luck boyo

I just went through opiate withdrawals this week cold turkey. Last dose I took was on Saturday 9/25/10 of 100mg. The first day wasn't really that bad cause there was a lot still in my system, but the next 3 days sucked, felt like I had the flu. After the 4th day it still sucked but I could feel my self feeling better and better day after day. Right now it's day 7 and I feel fine, now it's just mental not physical. The Mental part is a lot easier than the physical shit you go through coming off that crap.
