What is mild opiate withdrawal like?

[JackiesBabyy]

I took 40-60mg of oxy per day for about 7 days. (not at once, spread out in 20mg doses) I ran out, will I experience any withdrawal symptoms?

You should be fine. Don't think about it (psycho-somatic W/D is real). If anything you might have some restless legs and be a little sore. Nothing to worry too much about.

Stomach pains would be your biggest concern. Especially if you haven't pooped much in the last week lol. Opiates can cause constipation so when you come off... it could get shitty.

Agreed with what others have said. You won't get much in terms of sickness. As other people have said in the past and will say... Quit while your ahead. Your behavior is the beginning of an addiction. Your best bet is to run, run far away from opiates.

I remember when I was in your shoes 2 years ago, now things are different. It can and will happen and you won't even realize until it's too late.

i wouldn't expect too much..especially if you've not gone
through w/d before..
if you get some belly cramps..immodium will get rid of them..
aleve or ibuprofen for any body aches..
but probably nothing to worry about if it's only been a week.

It completely depends on the person. Withdrawal is not a precise and predictable thing and is affected by so many different factors such as your unique brain, body, metabolism and natural sensitivity to withdrawals, your mental state, whether you have been dependent on a opioid before, how much drug you took and how often, how mentally addicted you are, and so on.

Having said that, in general one week of oxy should not give most people - who have not been dependent before - very severe withdrawals. As others have mentioned, the best things to do are try not to think about it nor look for withdrawal symptoms, quit now while you still can, and try to keep yourself busy to distract from any cravings you get. The hardest part for you will likely be mental, you just have to remember that if you are feeling depressed, anxious, or getting cravings that it is just being caused by the drug and will be over soon. You don't have to go back to using just because your brain wants you to. Good luck

I went thru 400mg of what I approximate to be 75-85% pure heroin in approximately 6 days and got some very mild w/ds.

Cough syrup (DXM, APAP) and weed allowed me to get my ass to the lake and lie on a floaty drinking beer all weekend and went back to work on Monday feeling gggggreat!

So basically w/ds were very minimal but present

idk about anyone else but when I Iv opiates for a good 3 days and then stop I get severe headaches but one loracet seems to help me significantly.

Whoever wrote that list must have been a genius, discovering you can get constipated AND have diarrhea at the same time!
