Ok.... I've reached the point of hating myself and not being happy with what ive become so I need to quit now. I take about 40 mg or oxy a day and 50 to 80mgs of methadone a week for the last 3.5 months and i'am reached my breaking point. I know it's gonna be tough mentally and physically but it has to be done. I'd like to know from everyone's experiences just how long,considering my use, my withdraws will last. I don't need judgement or any of the such just answers and support. Thanks:-)
 
You have the acute withdrawal which can last anywhere between 3-5 days and the post-acute withdrawal phase which can last anywhere from months to years.

I haven't taken any 'dones in three days and it was 25mgs so would my methadone use prolong my withdrawals any? Thanks

Could they only last 3-5 days ?

it shouldn't be too bad to withdraw from your doses.
but I don't know your threshold for pain.
well,withdrawal is a bitch regardless.
stay strong,brother,you have a purpose beyond this bullshit.
in a month you'll be going "goddamn"...
 
IKR!!! Fast forward one month please! Lol thanks for the support and its not the drug that keeps me it the withdrawals. I hate the early morning pain, RLS, anxiety, depression and over-all dead as shit feeling. This is my third and last time. I'll start 2moro and hopefully be past the worst by Monday.
 
It was about 3 days ago and the dose was 30mgs. I'am just wondering will it take longer than 5 or 6 day to clear up. I haven't start my detox yet. I guess i'am waiting for the right time if there is such a thing! Lol
 
Ok, took my last does yesterday at 130pm and the symptoms woke me up this morning. I guess i'am at 18 hrs and feeling rough. I gotta get through this so I can move on with life. A happier life! I'am tired of the worrying and depression these pills give me.

I am four days ahead of you with a ten year habit, and today, day 5 WD is better. I still feel bad, but I showered and dressed today. I feel more normal. So please just hold on and tough it out. Don't turn your short addiction into a ten year pause of your life. Just a few more days to go.
 
Nativeboy, are you still on course? I felt better on day five, worse on day six, and today, day 7 sober, I feel better. One week does not seem like much time compared to ten years of waking up every morning in WD, yawning, eyes watering, feeling anxious and with "back pain" or a "head ache." How are you doing today? I think everyone has a different experience with WD, but I would expect yours to be shorter than mine given your shorter period of use and lower amounts used.
 
>I am< currently taking anywhere between 30-40mg oxycodone blues daily. Was just wondering how bad are withdrawal if >I have< been taking then daily for several months almost a year and will be be able to work? Need your help

It's not going to feel good in the beginning Joe but there are things you can take to help ease your symptoms.
Try buying some over the counter loperamide (immodium) There are a few threads here that discuss it as well as opiate withdrawal.

Going on 30 hrs and I feel like I should. I'am having to work outside so i'am sweating really bad. Would that help speed the process up considering during withdrawals you tend to sweat will doing nothing because your body is naturally expelling the toxins.
 
On day four and feeling better. Not much sleep last night but that was to be expected. Still taking vitimins and hopefully tomorrow will be close to a normal day. Feeling drug free !!!
 
I actually stopped methadones last Monday and only took hydrocodone till Thursday. Friday at 300 I was at 30 hours and its Sunday at 500 so it's about time!!! Thanks for the support!
 
Ok so i'am back again with a 7.5mg lorecet problem. It's been 2months and i'am quitting tonight and hope it won't take too long!
