I have been using opana for almost 2.5 months. The last 5 weeks I started snorting 15mg opana er everyday. I stopped last Thursday, and I majorly tapered down till yesterday when I took my last dose. It has been 24 hours since then, and I am a mess. No real physical symptoms other than having to use the restroom alot and lack of sleep. However the depression and anxiety is out of this world! I have read about Paws etc. In your opinion, considering the length and type of addiction I had, how long do you think it will take before my mind feels "normal" again? It seems like a lot of people here have used for years etc. So reading their posts doesn't seem to help, because I have skipped most of the physical stuff. I don't even crave the drug at all, which is messed up. But my mind sure is hurting. I randomly cry for no reason sometimes, and then a have panic attack. What do you think, how long will this last? :(
 
did you have any issues with depression or anxiety before you started using opana? considering you made this post only 24 hours after the last time you used i'm curious how you are doing today.
 
Well, today I feel much...much better. To be honest I don't know if anxiety or depression was a factor before I started using. I smoked tons of top grade herb all the time (for nearly 10 years), so I feel like I may have suppressed many of those feelings to start with. However, 96 hours later I feel so much better. My blood pressure is still pretty high, which I have read is a direct result of stopping opiates. Also, I quit smoking herb at the same time I stopped using opana. So, I may sure that is going to add a little to my over all feeling of anxiousness. But, other than 1-2 hours of depression yesterday, I felt great..and I assume I will only feel better everyday. I still have crazy urges to smoke, but no urges to use opiates...luckily. All I can say is that this experience has helped me 1.) want to get my mind right/drug free 2.) help me understand that those who are addicted to opiates and repeatedly return to using them despite negative consequences, are not evil or weak or anything like that. The depression, anxiety, etc. that comes with opiate w/d is intense, and it breaks your spirit to suck a point that I feel like those who kicked methadone addiction or years of opiate addiction should get a presidential citation...hahahahah. I used a small amount for 2.5 months, and stopping was by far the hardest thing I ever done.
