Yo Yo. Whats happening BL?

I have a question about OP w/d (as you may have guessed by the post title.) I am on hour 36 of w/d from these pretenders, and frankly apart from jonesing bad, I'm not having much trouble with the symptoms.

A little background on me for reference...I'm experienced with opiates. At my peak (about 2 years ago) I was eating/snorting about 240mg OC's a day. I cold-turkeyed off that dose and it was 9 days of please-kill-me hell. I have relapsed several times, and also detoxed off suboxone, which never got too bad, but took 3 weeks to go away.

So, my question is, am I in the clear, or is the time release mechanism in the OP delaying my symptoms? This habit was about 120mg a day for about 9 weeks. I have trouble sleeping, mild heart palpitations, temperature sensitivity, but no restless legs, no screaming skin, no sweating, and no desire to top myself or kill a room full of toddlers with a claw hammer.

Sorry, I have a flair for the dramatic, but my question is serious...is this as bad as it's going to get, or do I have some bullshit around the corner?
 
oxycodone is oxycodone is oxycodone.

You're not withdrawing from "OP's" - you're withdrawing from oxycodone so its the same as withdrawing from whatever preparation of oxycodone.

The only reason this withdrawal would be different is if you're using a different route of administration (if you were previously using intranasally and now are using orally for example).

There is no possible, fathomable way any of us can tell you how bad your withdrawals are going to get and I don't see any point in speculating.

This really isn't OD material for the above reasons so I'm going to close this. If you'd like to make the case that this has clear harm reduction value and will not just be filled with speculation then please feel free to PM me and do so.
