Hey ive had about a 2 month habit every other day use(2-4 day binges in there) of anywhere from 40-80mg of oc and occasional .2-.3 of some tar so its definitely not the worst habit. I smoked the last of my tar now(.3) and i wanna stop. How bad do you think ill be this sunday cause i definitely wanna be up and around partying for the 4th. Should i cop tomorrow night and start kicking monday or will i be ok? Ive never had a short habit so idk what to expect
 
If you don't use at all between now and Sunday evening, and take some Loperamide on Sunday afternooon, you should be okay. You won't be 100% comfortable I can guarantee that, but you shouldn't be too bad off either.
 
You'll start feeling some physical withdrawal symptoms within around 12 hours after your last dose. Probably a little sooner. First symptom you'll probably have is lethargy and you'll be too tired to do anything. After that the real fun begins...


You won't be feeling very good on Sunday.
 
I'm not sure what your intent is, but if it's to feel like shit on Sunday, the 4th, you're moving in the right direction.

If you wanna be "up and partying" on the 4th, I would wait until Monday before abstaining from any opiate use because if you stop today (Friday) you're not going to be doing anything on Sunday except being curled up in a fetal position and running to the toilet every 15 minutes and feeling like shit.

Tar and OC are big league and the W/D's are not pleasant and will hit you hard.
 
You're habit is about the same as my script (minus the tar, never done heroin). If I binge my script (~90mg+ of Vicodin) and then suddenly stop, I defiantly feel ill and sometimes I do vomit in the morning... I take a bit of valium and eat easy... other than being irritable, I do well. You should be fine, but uncomfortable. Good thinking on kicking the habit now, expensive and the longer you do it, the harder it is to kick.
 
i was in the midst of full-blown oxycodone withdrawals last 4th of july.
it really wasn't toooo bad, as i had a few beers and kept myself busy.
(i did end up cheating and took 50mg tramadol just before the fireworks started because i could no longer stand it, but i made it all day!)
try to keep your mind off of it. the more you dwell on it, the worse it will seem. if you have access to any benzodiazepines, take a LOW dose (as in like 0.125 if you have no tolerance to them) and have some beers. if not, keep your dealer on stand-by so if you absolutely can't tolerate it anymore and feel it is interfering with your holiday festivities, you can cop. i would only get as much as you need to take the edge off though- that way it won't be as bad come monday. i would try not to do this though as sunday will already be day 2 for you kicking and you'll have to start over again if you do it.

get a good night's sleep on saturday, take some loperamide, benadryl, an anti-inflammatory//NSAID, and a multi-vitamin sunday morning, and focus on your festivities. mind over matter- you can do it! %)

however, waiting until monday to kick is also okay- as long as you actually start monday! don't get in the habit of finding excuses to put it off! but, this will ensure that you will have a good time on sunday without discomfort.

congrats on wanting to get clean and making the move! good luck and feel free to PM me if you need any support or advice during your kick. :) <3
 
yeah man id stay clean til sunday morning then go grab a twenty and kick after that. No way will you want to party two and a half days into kicking

his habit is nowhere near yours.

oxycodone is a whole different league then vicodin.

I used to whine about my lortab withdrawals.. then I got on oxy and now I know what REAL withdrawals are
