so ive been taking opana for the passed 4 years and gradually made my way up to around 240 mg's a day, ive stopped before but only for 2 days because the 2nd day was just too fucked up for me emotionally. but i only have 160 mg's left and i told my pain doc to not give me any more refills period so after i take this 160 mg's today i plan on taking the next week off and just put up with the w/ds saying the sickness will only last around 5 days total but I already know its gunna be the mental side of the wds that are gunna fuck me over. anyways ill try and update this and tell everyone how im doing the next week saying i have no one else to tell about this situation, any support would be greatly appreciated. i also should add i take 40 mg's oxy a day for breakthrough pain.
Best of luck to you and though it may seem impossible at times, just realize it will be over sooner than you know it.
thanks dudes, thats all im thinking is the worst of it will be done in only a few days, but they are gunna be some of the longest days ever..
Just think like your in a war with it and you WONT FUCKIN LOSE!! I came off of 5 yr 240/300 mg oxy habit. Good Luck!
its about 16 hours in and im not feeling much yet besides being pretty damn anxious but i know tonights gunna be a bitch. 4 more days..
yea trying to sleep at night is the worst part, those wrestless limbs are so damn annoying, i normally have bruises all over my legs and arms from hitting em so much at night
Dude, 240 mgs of Opana everyday for 4 years is a rough rough habit, cold turkey is going to be worse than you think, 5 days? Maybe for a medium habit, I say it'll take 2 weeks to feel normal physically. Just trying to put it in perspective for you, I would either ween down, or buy suboxone. Can you get suboxone?
good luck, man. if you can get ahold of even just one 8mg suboxone that can really help take the edge off of those first few days. if you can i'd recommend taking a quarter of it for the first four days, which will help you get through the worst of it with pretty minimal symptoms. also, even just a few bars of xanax or some other benzo can really help with the anxiety and help you fall asleep which is huge. obviously you'll need to be careful not to develop a dependency on those drugs, but if you just get yourself a few it won't be a problem. try your best to eat, maybe take some vitamins--my detox regimine is a multivitamin, a 5-HTP and an L-Tyrosine each day--and get as much exercise as you can. even if it's just a couple of small walks, it can help to burn energy which can then help you with sleep. and if you can't get any subs/benzos then do the above and try some melatonin and a pint of ice cream before bed. best of luck.
please be careful and let plenty of people you trust know your plans... That is a high high tolerance to say the least... especially after so long a time frame... i'd compare that to 80 mg. of oxycontin 6 times a day for years... i can remember the withdrawals that came from it... hope i never have to find out again... i was pretty sure i was a goner when i was forced to quit heroin in 2006 cause they locked me up... i finally had to get honest with the medical personnel and they didn't believe what my addiction had escalated to... they called me a liar... there's nothing that can scream louder than our bodies when opiates are taken away... the only thing i can compare the sickness to, is the chronic daily alcoholic... there were many times that i begged, and welcomed death... the only thing i think kept me hanging by that thread were my beautiful daughters photos... but like it's been said before, it can be done... and trust me my friend, it is so so worth the outcome!
ya thanks everyone for postin. the withdrawals are way to fuckd , the only way im doing this is with some methadone or subs. but ill tell ya what, after quittin for a little more than 24 hours, i dosed 300mgs and it was a full body Orgasm and i was actually noddin hard for a while to.
