No Withdrawal from Oxycodone after 9 years of daily use----Mystery

[scoobydoobydo12]

Some of you may accuse my dog of lying, I can assure you that the following is 100% truthful. My dog began taking oxy back when "OC" was still around. He has been insufflating 120-150mg of oxy daily for years. He does it all in 1 dose, once a day, and usually doesn't redose for 18-30 hours after his last dose. my dogs friends all think he is lying about the following, and maybe someone here can shed some light on the situation. My dogs habit is really effecting his checkbook and he wants to stop but is afraid. Other details about my dog: He's in good shape, early 30's, no injuries, he's a hustler working up to 18 hours on some days, sexually active, and in general is a very active dog. He also smokes MJ. Here is where it gets weird.... If my dog takes his normal dose at 10am monday morning, at 10 am WEDNESDAY he is still ok. No chills, virtually no symptoms to speak of. My dog just feels a little off. Is this as bad as it will get for my dog? He doesn't know what to expect, he needs to stop, and telling the family/taking off from work is not an option. Does anyone have any insight here? Will my dog suddenly get hit with a huge knockout punch if he continues to abstain for a few more hours, or another day? Is my dog lucky? Is he going to dodge most of the physical W/D and have to deal with mental only?(which definitely sucks also) Can someone knowledgeable please help?

Hi Scooby, yes I would consider yourself very lucky so far if you have been able to get by without any withdrawal symptoms. But have you gone without for more than two days or how about a week or so? That would be your true test to see if it's not a fluke. So far it seems you have dodged a bullet. How long can you keep this up? And you don't need to refer to yourself in the third person/dog here on Bluelight, just say me.

-----You Right about waiting a week. A few months ago I did 7 consecutive days off and things did get a little weird. I was in Puerto Rico which was good to take my mind off things, and because it was warm. Normally I do get cold around the second day. In Puerto Rico, at about 36 hours I took about 1mg of a sub strip, Then nothing but 1-2 .25mg xanax on the last 2 days(because I wanted to sleep), which did absolutely nothing. And alot of MJ. SO what happened? Had a few chills for the first 3 days after stopping, very mild. Appetite went thru the roof(ate everything in sight), and I slept maybe 2 hours the whole week, but felt ok energy wise. Surfed about 2 hours a day. Body was a little off. The thing that really wore on me was no sleep. Sleep is that time when normal peoples brains turn off and you rest mentally, this was the part that really irritated me. I run 2 companies of my own, and I couldn't stop thinking. It wasn't unpleasant thoughts because my life is most in line and going well...It just got really old to not sleep. I slept about 1 hour the day before we left. How much longer could that insomnia last? I need out of this stupid life I put myself in. I have no excuse/reason for starting this, it was purely recreation gone to far....

I suggest just stopping and seeing what happens. Sounds like you are a really lucky person, because I start getting terrible withdrawals the very next day. If you just feel a little off then you're lucky for sure. Probably the hardest part for you will be the mental addiction, you'll need to refrain from convincing yourself to take it, and the urge will be there for a long time. I've been on opiates for 10 years, and it's fucking hell to keep off of them, even once past the physical withdrawals, because your mind will constantly be trying to convince you that you will be able to be responsible and just do it occasionally... that's a lie, the fact that you developed a problem means you always will.

That's what opiates do, they suck the life out of you, little by little, and you never notice until it gets substantial enough.
