I posted a few threads recently about my oxy usage and how I normally have a hard time getting any and I'm forced to go through withdrawals about 3-5 times a month, or more.

Well lately I've been noticing my withdrawal symptoms have been different. I've never fully made it clean any longer than 48-52 hours tops, but here are the withdrawal effects I go through... the last part is what has me stumped.

8 hours off oxy:
This is when it starts to dwell on my brain the most. The last little bit is leaving my system or is already gone and I'm thinking about how to get more. No physical pain yet.

12 hours off oxy:

Depending on what I'm doing I can start feeling muscle cramps now. If I keep busy I won't notice, but just sitting at home I'll notice cramps in my arms and legs.

16-18 hours off oxy:
By this time the muscle cramps get worse and the thought of getting more oxy dwells on me hard. Normally around the 15-16 hour mark I'll start getting stomach cramps and diarrhea. By this time I also notice I'm urinating a lot more, up to 2-3 times an HOUR. I also feel the need to yawn and stretch a lot.

24 hours off oxy:
The first nights sleep is the worse. Leg cramps are terrible and I can't sleep. Usually some weed or a lot of sominex or something will knock me out though.

36 hours off oxy:
By this time the cramps seem to stabilize, as do the stomach pains. They don't go away, but don't really get worse.

48 hours off oxy:
By the second day, after waking up I'll notice that the leg and arm cramps either go away completely or are hardly noticeable. I feel the need to eat a lot of food and this usually helps the stomach pains when I get full meals. The constant urinating goes away and my urine is now clean and clear again. The constant thought of getting oxy subsides, but is still there if I can't keep my mind busy. No more noticeable withdrawal symptoms are present, but it's usually around this time that I relapse... just because I can.




Things to note: I've been on oxy for 1 1/2 years. Normal dose is 1 30mg pill snorted up to 3-6 times in 24 hours, sometimes less if I can't get any, sometimes more, but that's the average.


Anyone know why my withdrawal symptoms seem to diminish so quickly? Is it a phase of the withdrawal?
 
Consider yourself lucky, some people go through week long withdrawals.
Just take advantage of the fact instead of trying to figure out why your withdrawals aren't so bad.

... Just my two cents.
