hi guys, I did some searching but couldn't find an exact answer, please don't flame me if this is dumb.

a little background:

I've been doing 60mg(on rare occasions 90mg) oxycodone in the form of 2 30mg roxicontins. The longest break I've taken is 3 days last week, since then I've done them 3 out of 4 nights.

My questions are basically:

Will I get withdrawals? This has been going on for about a month now.
Was the 3 days long enough to 'reset' me in terms of w/ds?
How bad would my w/ds be at my current habit?
How long would they take to 'kick in'?

Thanks so much guys. I've read this boards for a while and I know you'll help :)
 
How long have you regularly been using it? Also that 3 days last week would of given you your answer. Oxy WD starts about 8-12 hours after last dose for a serious habit. For a minor habit it can start in about 24-36 hours and be fairly mild. Sweating, anxiety, the runs, RLS, etc. I believe in the 2 day rule. Two days of using after a complete detox is somewhat safe as long as you don't go crazy on the dosages. Three days you are pushing it.

Your habit is somewhat small but a habit none the less. Continue down this road and it will get bigger.
 
Yea lozgod pretty much hit the nail right on the head man. If you have been using 60mg everyday for a month except for 3 days you will def have withdrawals but they wont be to bad my advice would be to get some bud, benzos, loperimide, and maybe some benadryl to help with sleep cuz personally benzos dont put me to sleep when im withdrawaling. Or if you could find some suboxone that will get you through the first 3 days of hell where most of the physical aspect of withdrawal will be done with. The mental craving can be annoying but you have only been using for a month so i dont think they will be bad at all the anxiety is the part that bugs the shit out of me as well as the constant changing of body temperature. But you should be fine and listen to lozgod's advice and stop your habbit now before it grows into a real problem like it has for so many others including myself. Good luck.
 
hey guys, thanks so much for the help. I have had other small breaks of 48-56 hours, so I'm guessing that my habit has been 'chipped' just enough to avoid serious withdraws? I guess I've been lucky.

I am trying to quit this before it gets out of hand-I feel like I already pretty much am out of control with it. Thanks again guys, I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.
 
If you were able to go for 3 days without real discomfort - which seems pretty incredible after a month of oxy use - I would say that you probably will not have serious WD's.
 
You will have some form of withdrawls. I was doing probly about 30mg of oxy about 4 times one week, and then I went on a two day binge and my next day off I was able to notice some aches and pains for 24-36 hours.

Normally I was a weekend user and didn't notice the smallest withdrawl. I would say at most for the first couple nights you will have trouble sleeping, I would doubt that you will have any tremors or anything but I wouldn't be surprised if the withdrawl symptoms hit you harder in the face then expected. Aside from that, I would definitly slow it down while you can. At the rate you have been taking your pills after stopping for 2-3 days you should have definitly felt really shitty. If I were in your shoes tbh, I would be taking them everyother day for 7 days or so, and then taking a 3 day break. With a 1 week break every month/2 months. As soon as you would be able to notice anything withdrawl like, stop your usage immediatly and start from ground zero.
 
I was using 40mg hydro almost daily for 3.5-4months. Quit Cold turkey, had very minor withdrawl for about a week, minor aches (more so in the legs!) and shits for 2-3 days.

I think you will be fine, just nip this in the butt while you can. Use some asprin/acetaminophen for your pains and maybe a little lopermaide for the runs and I think your golden dude!!!

just bumpin an old thread with some info...if you can make it through 3 days without oxy then you probably are clear of wd's. or they are just not bad enough for you to notice. depends on how long you were using
