So I have been an opiate user for a little over a year now, I have had 2 back surgeries from sports injuries, I go to a pain management doctor, you all know how that goes, you get hooked very easily. I was getting Roxis 30s about 120 every 3 weeks or the dilaudid 8s 120 every 3 weeks. But sometimes i would go through those in a week. I would always find more though, if it was buyin them on the street or getting another script from the doc. But from the year i was addicted there was only a few days were i didnt get high. my tolerance was anywhere from 75-150 mg of oxy for a good nod and sometimes up to 4 times a day. But i only sniffed it never anything else.

But last week I decided i wanted to get this monkey off my back I am only 20 years old, so i went cold turkey, I prepared my self for the worst, took off a week of work, the first day came, I felt normal, just a little tired. no W/D effects at all by the next day i was completely fine.. Can anyone tell me how or why this happened?? So i am clean now with my W/D effects with a year of abusing opiates.
 
Hmmm...thats odd. Normally it takes so many hours of abuse to receive the addiction. Maybe you're mu opiode receptor works, but not the other way around...I have no idea...you're lucky man!
 
How long has it been? Are you saying you've only gone 2 days without and been fine so far or has it been longer?
 
^^Sorry, ignore my post above didn't fully read everything you wrote, just re-read and see you said you quit last week.
 
I have had this happen to me before... Normally, I experience w/d symptoms pretty much in line with common experience/literature/research on the subject. I hate them, do not handle them well, have slipped right back to using many a time b/c I simply could not handle the w/d symptoms, etc

However, after several years of eating/shooting whatever I could get my hands on every day, I got on a MMT program in Nov 2010. I did the MMT thing until the first week of March 2011. Thus, I capped a multi-year opiate/opiod addiction with four months of daily methadone use (generally 80mg per day, but I would often double up when I got my take home for sunday and do something else/much less methadone on sunday to keep the w/d at bay). For a number of reasons, I quite the MMT cold turkey, did not taper with anything (i had a few resources-- immodium, lortab, xanax-- to ease the horrors, just in case), but I never felt the need to use anything but a little xanax to sleep at night. No nausea, no restless legs, no extreme dysphoria like I typically experience when in w/d.

I knew that methadone had a long half life, and each day I expected the real deal w/d to kick in... we've all heard the horror stories about how nasty methadone w/d is... but 7 days later, I was nearly completely normal. I never experienced digestive trouble, restless legs, cramping at all. I did have some temperature fluctuations and I wasn't in the best mood, but all in all, it couldn't be considered a proper withdrawal at all. I have no idea how that happened, but I'm sure as hell thankful...

So, it is possible to avoid the w/d symptoms somehow, even if you normally experience hellish w/d (as I have every time I've quite before and since). That's my experience, FWIW
 
What were your doses, route of administration and which drug the 3-4 days prior to you stopping?

Once these questions are answer I can take a better stab at it, but until then there could be quite a few reasons.
 
I quit oxy 30 mg ir blue pills 60-90 mg per day up the nose and it seemed to me that the 4th and 5th days of wd is when it.... Hahaha my oxy guy just texted me and wants to know if I want some. Anyway the first couple days were not that bad at all but day 4 and 5 hit pretty hard. Didn't get out of bed, wanted to sleep but couldn't, tense midsection rls etc. That's when I wish I had some Xanax. Because the next time I actually quit I had 4-5 2 mg bars that helped a lot. And I quit for 2 weeks felt great proud of mysefl but 2 weeks later just like now my boy texted me and I thought let's just use it for pain and no recreational buzz but fail. Now my boy is textng me back while I'm writing this telling me he will front a bunch of my 30oxy and Xanax bars. Arcggggg. I'm gonna Dinah writing this and head over to his house now!! Frig frig frig. My bday is Thursday and I gotta coach my competitive girls soccer tjeam on a travel tournament. I've been worrying that wd are goig to kick in tomorrow from stopping 10/325 norcos 100 mg a day for the last ten days. I'll be right back guys
 
wow lucky you!

how unusual. are you going to ask your doctor why?
i would be interested to hear what they say.

just dont get hooked again, it could hurt next time
 
Ok I'm back and told him I only need 30 pills to taper off. So since I haven't been doing oxy in 10 days+ so 1 pill per day for 5 days then 1/2 a pill for 5 days and put the rest away for when the pain really needs medication.

Wish me luck. FYI. The crystal meth I held onto for a month worked really well today as today was my first day without any opiate. I did a little line at 9am and the day flew by and I took the kids swimming but I hate how long it makes you stay up. I mean it's 1:30am here and I did that line at 9am. I am normally asleep by midnight. Needless to say I do not like crystal but it worked today for me. I will not do any more for another month when I am completely quiting all drugs even my good ole pal Mary Jane. How long will this glass looking crystal stay good. A year?

I have had some amazing experinces in my life from partying with evander holyfield to coaching our girls team to the norcal state cup semifinalz. I have seen the darkest wides of life as well and for that I am greatful.

I'm hitting the sack and will keep you posted as I ween off and live out the second half of my life for my family and kids and learn to be selfless rather than selfish. Have good intentions, impact someones life and don't be afraid of venturing to either the light or darkside. Makes you well rounded
Oh shit cheaters is on tv right now. Lol
peace
 
thats strange as it happened to me as well and i have no idea why and still dont know why.. in may 2010 i quit opiates cold turkey after 4 years of heavy use. from oxy to heroin everyday, but when i quit. i had NO W/D's at all. i still dont, except randomly wanting it REALLY bad but it goes away.. i dont get it?
 
ive known a few people here and there who use fairly heavy and dont get w/d's and they don't psychologically crave much either... I would say out of every 50 opiate users I meet there is one person lucky enough not to get w/d's.
 
I only snorted them nothing else, and it was the roxi 30s i was taking prior to going cold turkey. and my doses were anywhere from 75-150 mg oxy
 
OMG you are so lucky i think oxys are even stronger than codeine phophate 30mg and i can take over 400mg in a day and if i dont have any codeine after 2 days i start to get really irritable, really bad cramps, sweats , no sleep and a feeling of total anger its horrible because i need pain relief due to health problems but codeine has got way out of hand and my doc wants to reduce my dose, you are very lucky and should count your blessings and see it as a sign that you didnt have a relly bad habit and you kicked it at the right time so you should avoid using opiates in the future !
