I want to quit methadones and OxyContin!

[nativeboy]

I'am figuring 4 to 5 days max? Or am I being too unrealistic?

Half life of hydrocodone is about four hours... so 5x4=20hours and then ad about four days so yes the initial mirrical will be right around day five. Then you will start to feel better.. you can do this native:D

I've tapered down to a 10/325 a day for the last two days so it's seems it help lessen the pain. Thanks neversickanymore!?

 

[ad lib]

Happy to hear that you're tapering, nativeboy

 

[nativeboy]

Day 3 and i'am much better but still tired. Glad to be clean?

 

[neversickanymore]

Congratulations on your success so far nativeboy

Another blooming success story! Keep it up native. Seriously! You're doing so great right now. Stay positive! Don't be discouraged if your attitude/mental state takes a turn for the worse somewhere around a week in. That's normal, and something to look out for. It will pass though. All the negative feelings will pass, physically, and mentally, with time.

Are you working/planning on working any sort of recovery program? What's your plan from here on out? You're going to need one, because getting through the withdrawals, unfortunately, is the easy part.

Stay strong!
