Opioids **The Oxycodone Mega Thread.** - Can't find your thread? Its in here.

Is this where I ask any questions on OC? If so, I have been IVing anywhere from 80-800mg (yes 800mg) of OC EVERYDAY for FIVE years. Four days ago I quit cold turkey. Over all the nasty parts of wd. I quit because my tolerance was way too high. If I get some tomorrow and only do some tomorrow will it throw me back into wd again?
 
dunno if one days use will throw you back into WD, but if you quit cuz your tolerance was too high, dont expect 4 days to do much for your tolerance. I mean it will def help a little. but it will take you a good while to get back to baseline or even close to baseline if you were IV'in 800mg a day.

also if you have that bad of an OC problem n needle problem you might wanna just use heroin cuz if you arent filterin those shots through micron filters i am gonna assume that you have a SHIT LOAD of talc already built up in your lungs
 
I just don't want a repeat of the last four days... It was living hell... Even if I can do an 80 and get a slight buzz I will be happy at this point...
 
Do medical supply stores sell micron filters? I have only used cig filters and cotton. I don't like heroin... I like needles and OC only

my suggestion is just to snort, plug or eat your OC since you are WDin an just want some relief.

also no cig filters n cotton dont remove the dangerous stuff from OC. i dunno where to get micron filters for IV use (wheel filters) but others around here do, i think there are lots of threads about micron filters, n i also know there is someone who frequents the forums who is very willing to help people out in finding a good connect on just a few micron filters cuz most of the time i think one has to buy 100 at a time but if you check out all the micron filter threads you will prob see who this user is,

bet yea man, invest in the filters cuz it will be a life saver
 
google gpzservices for the filters man

i just saw this in a thread. should work but if it doesnt dont give up, micron filters are worth thier weight in gold
 
Im out of WD now. Yesterday and today have been ok... it was just the first 48 hrs that was total hell. I will google that... thanks! And I am a chick not a man:)


I just checked the website and the filters there are not compatible with the syringe I use... I will search around though.
 
If you have a needle exchange nearby they should be able to provide you with wheel filters. Shooting pills just isn't worth the danger.

For the other guy with only 1 30mg oxy, yes eating it will work better. Especially in IR form oxy has a higher bioavailability. I never get why people complain about having 30s instead of oxycontin. In just about any other drug everyone wants IR form not time release and IMO this isn't any different. IME 2 30s gets me better than an 80mg oxycontin. Its a smaller pill without a time release function and way less filler. Sorry didn't mean to rant but, this just makes as much sense to me as the people that think that oxycontin is like heroin but 30s are "just percocet". People just don't want to hear it sometimes.
 
sorry bout the Gender mix up athena, but yea look around for those wheel filters cuz they will help tremedously

Oh n yea JB i agree with you, i prefer the blue roxies to OC 80's or OC whatever. and like you said i feel as if i can get equally as high off slightly less mg's from the IR's
 
Day 8 quitting oxy still no sleep

So I am going into my 9th day trying to quit a 120 mg day habit and let me tell you it's some of the worst experiences I have ever felt. My main concern is the insomnia I am averaging about 3 hours of sleep a night. Klonopin no help. Melatonin no help. Warm baths anything I try just leads me nowhere. I can't get rid of the pins and needles restless legs it's so exhausting I want to die. I don't want to go the suboxone route I just want some advice please anyone. I do have some leftover seroquil should that be my next try? If not I am debating going to the er or something cause 1 more night like this I feel like I might just put myself out of my misery. Any help on sleeping recommendationds is so much appreciated god bless u
 
Ya fuck ya if you have it do it. Hang in there bro you're almost done. Are the other symptoms subsiding? Seems like insomnia lasts the longest out of the more immediate symptoms.

Oh shit just caught the part about the er. Dude honestly you're lucky to get 3 hours. I usually don't sleep at all for days. Other than benzos the only thing that works at all would be diphenhydramine or docilimine succinate which are both OTC. Seriously though dude you're almost done.

at least you are actually sleeping a few hours a night..when i quit oxy i was up for 6-7 days straight, not a minute of sleep...dipenhydramine didnt help...by the 3rd day i was a zombie, couldnt experience emotions etc etc..had no appetite, i felt like non-human...dont worry though, your sleep cycle will kick in soon, it just takes time..
 
honestly, you're so very close.

just hang in there. do what you can to make yourself MORE tired, MORE worn out, so when you try to sleep you just CRASH.

long walks or runs or bike rides will really help a lot at this point. Just make yourself do it; you won't feel like going for a run but do it anyway. Those endorphins will make you feel very good.
 
The insomnia is one of the worst symptoms. When you are in withdrawal the ONLY thing that you want is to escape those feelings, even if only for a while. The only way to do that short of a relapse is to pass out and go to sleep. Naturally, this doesn't come easy when you are in withdrawal.

In my experience, from my most recent kick with poppy tea, the insomnia starts out brutal and slowly improves. I was on my 8th day before I dosed again and the sleeping issues were still an off and on problem. In the beginning I was getting about 4 hours of sleep, and waking up early in the morning unable to fall back asleep.

By the 8th day I was usually waking up in the middle of the night and having trouble falling back asleep for like an hour. But I was getting more than 4 hours of sleep and I would usually pass back out after I woke up, even if it took an hour or so. You are nearly over the worst of the insomnia, just wait it out a few more days. Your sleep cycle returns it just takes some time.
 
Best thing that would help you is EXERCISE. As already stated you won't want to do it but it will really help you. When I was coming off suboxone I had the absolute worse w/d and rls. It was crazy. It felt like my skin was crawling for like two weeks. But I played some DDR even though I didn't really want to, and when I did I ended up sleeping more as my body was just completely exhausted. Any exercise you get will greatly help you. I wrote an English research paper basically on the facts that exercising helps people coming off opioids and there was lots of research to back it up.

Bottom line: Exercise; Eat healthy; Take some vitamins. Def. try the seroquil and maybe take the melatonin along with the other stuff. It def. puts me to sleep.

Good luck, you're almost through it. Don't give up.
 
you might wanna try taking some loperamide if you havnt tried already. taking like 20mg might greatly reduce your withdrawals, or at least it does for me.
