I just got out of a 30 day rehab Monday. Mostly went there because of court but also to detox off suboxone. I was taking under half a mg a day. The physical withdrawal lasted about 16 days... not too intense (I never puked) but there was still a week there where I couldn't sleep for more than an hour or two a night.
Now here's the thing... after the physical withdrawals stopped I started getting a headache and a cough that are still continuing. Then, my last couple days at rehab I started getting this anxiety, tightness feeling in my chest in the mornings. I thought it was because I was excited to leave but this is also still continuing and is defiantly physical not mental.
I used 30mg oxycodone on Wednesday. Didn't use Thursday. Then yesterday morning that anxiety feeling was back. I took 10mg valium and that helped but didn't completely get rid of it. I ended up scoring some loratabs later last night did 20mg hydrocodone and got pretty high (yay for a low tollerance again
).
I just woke up, had that anxiety feeling again and took 10mg hydrocodone. I actually feel a little buzz and that made it go away completely.
My question is... how long does this PAWS shit last? I thought I would be out of the woods after 30 days and able to pop some tabs occasionally without any withdrawals. I mean I don't even know if I would count them as withdrawals because they aren't bad at all and it seems to go away as the day goes on.
I was popping tabs, percs, and OC ocassionally for years without a problem or any kind of withdrawal whatsoever. The problem started when my friend injected me with hydromorphone. Then I got on Suboxone because I was too scared of withdrawals... probably a mistake looking back on it... fuck 16 days of withdrawals.
