After a 3week binge on oxycontin, (worked my way up to about 40mg/day) due to lack of funds and other reasons I decided to take a break on narcotics. Since then I have experienced mild psychologic withdrawl symptoms (Moderate to sever anxiety, night sweats, inablity to sleep). While i know that these withdrawl symptoms are not severe, I would like to make an attempt at avoiding them in the future. It has been 1 week since the last time i did oxycontin, and the majority of the withdrawl symtpoms have passed or are fading away. I was wondering if any other more experienced narcotic users could give me a recommendation on how long to wait once all withdrawl symptoms have dissapeared before using again to avoid being tossed back into withdrawl. A little background information I have recreationally used narcotics for about a year, but this is the first time i used daily for any extended period of time. I apologise if parts of this post dont make sense but its 5:30am and im a little out of it.

to get a habit for the first time you need to use daily for a couple of months..... after that first habit things change; a few days of dope and there you are again.
 
40mg a day for 3 weeks should give you little more then a tummy ache, some minor muscle aches, and maybe one sleepless night - anything more would be very abnormal...

I feel for you man... It's amazing how similar both of our stories are... my 4 week binge... and sometimes up to 60mgs in a single dose... about a week ago I got prety ill for a few days... but since me and my girl have considered Oxy a Panacea, I used that to eliminate most of my symptoms... with continued use, up til last tuesday, had a constant supply.. when you're paying two bucks per OC80 it's damn easy to over do it... I had two sleepless nights, strange cold sweats, feverish, and my food didn't seem to digest properly...
Get the sleeping pills... you're gonna feel even more nasty throughout the day if you don't a good night sleep... sex also seems pretty therapeutic... The immodium also got my stomach back in shape...
but nobody answered him about how long he should take a break before he can assure himself that he won't get these withdrawal symptoms.. my goal is to use less and less.. try to ween off... and then go the entire month of october opiate free... it'd be nice to be able to get high of of 20mgs...
good luck bro... If you wanna talk about it give me an IM at Ketamike... also TripDoctor is like an expert on this topic, but I'm almost positive that his advise will be "Get some narcotics IMMEDIATELY"...
peace out and feel better
 
Taper if you can, but still, a few weeks of 40mg a day is not going to put you through hell... if you only have a few left, the cool thing about OxyContin is that you can actually eat them (who would have thought you could?) and they will kill the pain for a fair amount of time..

Use the beznos for withdrawl from opiates, thats why god created them, offset one addiction with a slight use for about 5-10 days or so.
 
Thanks everyone for the replies. The effects that i had been experiencing (they are gone now) were not much more then an annoyance after the first few days. I understand that I never went through anything close to true narcotic hell. What i wanted to know was a recomendation on how long to abstain from use to prevent the annoying symptoms from immediately returning.

I had two days of symptoms, then i had a good night sleep, and felt pretty good the followind day.. then had a nice amount that night... it's two days later, and I'm sickness free! but results may vary
