So I am having some strange stuff going on here.

Let me give a little background. I was 25 and diagnosed with a rare case of Hodgkins Lymphoma. I didn't know it at first and neither did the Dr, but I was resistent but sensative to chemo. Basically chemo would work, less than a moth later it was back. Well the treatments got harsher. Thats when opiate hell began. It started with a month long continues 1mg Iv dose of dilaudid hourly. Was resleased from hospital with some oxy ER and IR (can't remember dose) and they were gone in about a week. Now keep in mind I was LITERALLY on the edge of death, but I don't remember any real W/D. Fast forward to a month later of no opiates. Hello cancer is back and in my spine and neck. The pain is indescribable. I was put on oxy 30mg 6 times a day. Started treatment and it failed. So I was given an expiration date. At 28 I was going to be dead, even if I tried this "new" treatment. So I started the new treatment. That is were the abuse began. I knew the horror stories. I was just thinking f**k it, im dying might as well have fun. So by a miracle from God I went into remission and it stuck. Holy shit now I have a 120mg + a day habit. So I jumped off cold turkey. Within a couple hours I had runny nose and watery eyes, full blown w/d by 24 hours. I stayed off for a month and started back because of pain from what cancer lefy behind. A wrecked 29 year old body. I was prescribed 25mcg patches every 72 hours and 10mg oxy every six hours. 3 weeks ago I quit using the patch. I never felt any different. I was usually getting my script of oxy filled partying for 4 days or so then take 10 evey 24 hours with maybe a couple 5mg hydros every once in awhile. Well 44 hours ago I decided enough was enough. I took all I had 30mg and done. So here I am 44 hours without any oxy and I feel pretty much like I always do. Maybe a grumpy stomach but not bad at all.

So I have a question. Is it this. Could have only been taking 10mg every 24 hours for a week and a half made the w/d a lot easier?

I smoke some weed and even eating 44 hours in. I mean I should be in full w/d by now shouldn't I?

Any info would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the long post!
 
Pain and misery like everything else is relative.. while withdrawals can be described as awful by someone another person who has exspierienced chemo and the severe pain you have may just kinda brush it off as not that awful.. I was really ill for years and when I got better I was able to jump off a huge dose of opiates and benzos.. yeah it sucked and I didn't sleep forever, but I still felt a little better than when I was sick so it seemed like an improvement to me.


Glad your in remission
 
Thanks guys for the answers. This is mind boggling. The last time I chose to quit I felt like a was a short second away from eating a bullet. This time there is nothing. Nada.like I said before just a little nausea. Not bad enough to keep me from eating. I ate pizza and ice cream earlier. Not even as much as a rumble. I think the worst part is constantly thinking its coming, its right around the corner. I'm 49 hours in and I'm feeling normal.

I wonder if it will get worse. I wonder if the dose was so low and taking it every 24 hours was just keeping me in a constant state of withdrawls that why I feel normal now.

I mean I am truly grateful, just a little mond blown about it.
