SO two days ago i took 25 mg of oxycodone, yesterday i took 60mg of ms contin, today i was planning on taking 25 mg of hydrocodone, and tomorrow plan to take 25 mg of hydrocodone again. However after that ill be all out of opiate meds and will have zero access to them. My question is after the last dose will i have any withdrawals the next morning??
 
Withdrawal and addiction are two different things. Psychologically you might be already addicted.
 
Taking opiates every day over the course of a few days is definitely enough for you to feel cranky and sore for a few days after.
 
Nah, it might be the start of a psychological addiction but you're not going to even be close to developing a physical addiction. That takes a fair amount of time but it's different for everyone because each of us have a unique brain. You might be surprised at how much usage it actually takes for you to develop a physical addiction.
I used to be able to use opioids daily for up to a month at a time without experiencing serious physical withdrawal effects. Just be careful. It's easy to go on a few binges, walk away from them without any serious pain and then think you are impervious to addiction. Lots of people have made this mistake. In the end if you keep using you WILL become addicted and dependent.
 
When I first starting using, I could use opiates for three months every other day before I started getting sick. After three years of straight use, I can't dabble where I use even once without withdrawal the next day even after three months clean.
 
I highly doubt after using 4 days straight that you will be addicted. You may have mild cravings but nothing serious.
 
As everyone said you will be fine this time I am sure apart from possibly feeling a bit like you have a virus - but take it as a warning - full blown opiate withdrawals are no fun at all and it can be scarily easy to slip into having some every day and losing track of how many days in a row you've done it for..

Go steady, you should be fine, if you do feel rubbish it'll all be over with in a day or so :)

this^^

by the 3rd or 4th time of taking opiates, i was already mentally addicted, but i didnt know it at the time. and after taking my first dose of klonopin the feeling felt so great i never wanted to come down which also lead to a psychological addiction. here i am 4 years later, and i still take opiates/benzos atleast once a week.
 
You certainly could have psychological addiction issues by now, physical addiction, however, takes much longer to set in.

I would be wary of comparing benzo addiction to opiate addiction at this point, as their mechanisms are quite different.
 
true, i take each for their own reason and sometimes for the same reason ;)

but what brings me back to the opiates is the high,
while the relief i get from benzos is what keeps me coming back
 
I doubt after this short of a use you would feel any withdrawals.... and no physical dependence/addiction. You could already have an psychological addiction already but remember mind over matter. Wish you the best of luck.
 
Psychological addiction is far and away worse than physical dependence in my opinion.
