Well I've been using opiods for the past two years and three months at my highest point I was up to about 240mg of oxy a day. During this period I took three breaks to try and lower my tolerance one was like a three day break, another was like a fourteen day break, and another two day break. I got some Suboxone strips 24 mg total used them for about 16 days then went back to using oxy's/ Norcos for about a week and a half taking between 60-120mg of oxycodone or hydrocodone a day. As of right now i'm 73 hours from my last dose of 20mg norco on monday night. I took 4mg of lopermade the first day and 2mg the second after about 24 hours I felt slight withdrawls gooseflesh, runny nose, dilated pupils, mild anxiety and restlessness. Whats really strange is I can sleep like 6 hours a night and even take a nap for about an hour or two during the day. I have detoxed in the past and it was horrible I didn't feel this good until at least two weeks after withdrawl. I can eat, workout, and just lounge around because i took the week off from work. My appetite has come back and I seem to have all of this energy that I didn't have when taking opioids. I don't get why I'm not in worse shape its been 13 days since I had my last dose of suboxone. I havent had any lopermade for at least 36 hours and I'm not really having any stomach issues. WTF I feel better now mentally than when I was on the oxy / hydro. I don't understand. Has anybody ever got off opioids / opiates with very little withdrawls after a long period of using?
 
Count yourself lucky! One time when I was taking alot of Oxy's for a month straight...I went 24 hours feeling fine and I neivly thought I had escaped the cluches of withdrawel...only to wake up with cramps and vomiting...so count yourslef lucky dude. I hope you stay feeling good like you do!!!
 
Yes, count yourself lucky for sure. I would not be complaining. I was using oxycodone about 120-150mg a day for about 2 years (I'm female, 5'4, & weigh 105lbs btw). I would go prob about 3 days max without my dose here and there every couple months and the WD's were horrible. Anyways, I went to jail last month and was forced to quit cold turkey... I got bailed out and didn't have access to any pills. My WD's only lasted one day and were slim to none, if even at all. Just minor cold sweats every once in a while. I was completely shocked, & THANKFUL for this tho... So I'm taking advantage and using this time to lower my tolerance. It's been about 40 days since I've busted any oxy. I guess some of our bodies are just lucky...
