Opioids Is this enough opiate use to be causing withdrawal?

Okay so I got 3x 40mg OC, original ones that you can crush last sunday. I then used them in the following manor:

sunday:20mg
monday:10mg
tuesday:20mg
wednesday:no opiates
thursday:10mg
friday: 30mg
saturday:10mg morning, 20mg night
sunday: no opiates
monday: In the morning I made some poppyseed tea that was particularly potent because I noticed it was quite bitter, and I literally nodded the f*ck out from it and could hardly stay awake for 6 hours, not much euphoria at all though so I won't be using that shit again, was just very sedated.

tuesday(today): no opiates, so it's been 31 hours now without any opiates and I don't have any oxy left anyways and no way of getting it, i didn't really mean to even use it so frequently but when I have drugs I always can't hold onto them, same with cocaine if I got it I'm using it so I ended up using all 120mg oxy in a week with virtually no opiate tolerance...

Anyways, so I get home from school at about 3:30 and almost shat myself on the way home because my stomach started killing me so I came home and ran to the washroom took a dump it wasn't really diahrea but not solid, sorry for TMI, and then I felt really weak out of nowhere and nausea just came over me and I've been lieing in bed nauseous for the past hour now, feeling really crappy and I'm thinking fuck i mighta overdone it with the oxy and am now having minor withdrawals, does this sound like normal opiate withdrawal symptoms setting in and should I be withdrawaling from such a small amount ? (a lot for me though i suppose)
 
Yeah it's enough to cause WD, and it doesn't help that you don't use opiates often. I think that some people who are really used to opiates can use more and not feel as bad WD, at least this has been my experience, and I have heard that most people are the exact opposite, they become more sensitive to WD over time. Everyone's body is different.

But yeah, the symptoms you described sounds like WD. Nausea, loose stools, dysphoria, etc.

The thing is, to people who use opiate a lot, that's not alot of opioids, but since you don't take them often, Im willing to bet you feel more euphoria than I do, but what goes up must come down, so you probably feel worse WD than I do. Does this make sense?

It depends if you've had withdrawals before. If you have then yes it will set off WD's. If not you might just get away with it, but break now!
 
If I were to use Oxycodone in a similar usage pattern I would experience relatively minor withdrawls.

Smoke some weed or something, and stop using opiates at least for now, you'll be fine in a day or two and I doubt your withdrawls will get any worse than they are now.

In the future do not abuse Oxycodone.
 
It is withdrawal but minor u should feel better by tommorw Lile everyone said. Cut it out now smoke weed
 
Yeah, generally using opiates for three days in a row puts you in dangerous territory as far as Dependance goes. However, the ammounts of oxy you've taken have been pretty damn low, so the withdrawal should not be too severe or long. It will be uncomfortable, but let it serve as a lesson to not fuck with opiates again, or to at least limit it (if that's possible).

It's strange, when I first did heroin, I would go sometimes 10 days straight sniffing dope. My tolerance would raise, and then I'd stope and suffer no withdrawals. The first opiate I got addicted to was buprenorphine (go figure), because back in 2006, the doctors at my outpatient were telling
People it didn't cause withdrawal and of course I took the maximum daily dosage. I remember being cut off of it when I then went inpatient and I didn't know what the hell was wrong with me. Since I was under the impression that bupe was non-habit forming, I thought I was going through some hellish mental crisis that was manifesting in physical symptoms as well..
 
Yeah I can't imagine the WD lasting more than 1-2 days at such low doses. I don't think I would get any withdrawals if I dosed like that.

I would just notice that I'd have a less-than-happy mood, and a runny nose.

I think that my man Zneg has just about covered it all, but I'd just like to reiterate and reinforce that it's not always so much the size of the dose but the frequency of use.

I've binged on oxy and dope, taking larger doses all throughout the day for one or two days, and experienced very few, virtually zero withdrawal symptoms when I quit. I've experienced worse withdrawal symptoms by sniffing just two bags of dope a day, every day, for two or three weeks. It's not a lot of dope, no, but my body had become accustomed to that little bit of dope each day and I had been doing it for three weeks... and so when I stopped, ouch, it hurt. It wasn't terrible but it was uncomfortable for sure.

In other words, you were averaging about 17 mg of oxycodone a day, which isn't very much, but you were taking it for seven days consecutively.

Really??? I - and everyone I know - have always experienced the opposite. That you get more and more sensitive to withdrawals the longer and more regularly you've been using opiates. (But I do agree that the OP is probably experiencing WDs).

Yeah I've heard about that too, that's why I added the part about it being my experience. A lot of my friends IRL are less sensitive to withdrawals like me though, so idk. Everyones body is different.

It's very true that everyone has a different level of natural sensitivity to WDs in the first place, but I've never heard of anyone getting less sensitive the longer they used, so I was totally surprised that you said that. Do you mean that that is solely from your personal experience or that others have said the same thing? Unless by less sensitive you meant that over time some people learn how to function with WDs or don't get as upset by them mentally. But the actual symptoms just get worse and worse, at least for everyone I've ever talked to before.
 
I said that because it's my personal experience and I have 3 friends in real life that have experienced the same desensitization. All my other friends that do opis are not as lucky.

I edited my post for clarity ;)
 
I tend to think that using only once a day would not result in much of a withdrawal at all. It seems like it is the repeat dosing every day that really fucks up tolerance and ensures the come down will not be fun.

OP, I think you should consider backing off to a point where, if you still want to use occassionaly, you let it be as spur of the moment as possible. The mental cravings that come with addiction will lead you to obsess over when, where and how much.
 
Yea so I lay down after taking some gravol and had a 3 hour nap woke up feeling a bit better but then the nausea came back so I took more gravol and went back to bed woke up this morning after 8 hours sleep and still had a shitty feeling stomache so I ate light popped 800 mg ibu and went to school feeling fatigued but otherwise nausea is gone and I'm feeling a bit better, will be more careful if/when their is a next time.
