Average...if you use an opiate on a daily basis, your body gets used to having it there regularly and after just a week or two of that, you can get withdrawals. Once you stop and you're phsyically dependent, they usually come on after about 12 hours of when it wears off. Some people sooner, some later. It depends on the type of opiate, length of use, how often you're using and your dose. Fortunately, the worst of them are over in about 3 or 4 days, but after a good, long run on them, it can take awhile after that to feel normal. Loperamide (Immodium AD) helps considerably with the stomach cramping and some of the discomfort.
Ive been using around 40-80mg of oc since the week before christmas at most 3 times a week one dose per day, do u guys think i will have any withdrawls im quitting to lower tolerance for a while
It sounds like you'll have some, but they shouldn't be too bad since you're not using daily. Your dose isn't extremely high, either. I was on a kick of doing about 20 to 60mg a day, taking multiple times a day, so I was staying on it continually as long as I had it. My stash would barely last 2 weeks and I'd have some depression and mild physical withdrawals, but mostly mental. I also use vicodin or norco with it, or inbetween times when I have oxys. Right now, I'm on the tail end of withdrawing from vicodin after a few weeks of use. It hasn't been too bad... it's that first and second day that are the hardest. I don't think you'll have much trouble. You can always taper down if you have some left.
well its been 24 hours since i last dosed nothing really although the mental wanting to get high and just chill =] being broke helps to no more pills till next paycheck
Hm... it starts (For me at least) the next day. It was quite horrible, actually. My entire body ached, I had chills, I couldn't get comfortable, I had a headache, I was restless.... nasty things withdrawls are. I find it funny how when you're on opiates sometimes, you pull muscles because you can't really feel it, especially during sex.. haha
I got physically dependent on morphine sulfate for a while. I had a couple day comedown where i felt HORRIBLE for a day. I CANNOT IMAGINE how terrible REAL W/D's are, and hope I never have one.
It's insane. I can't even say in words how horrible my WD's were, and it's only Oxycodone. 300-400mg of Oxycodone a day, but still. I would say if you only do them 3-4 days a week, and can go 3 days without having them until you dose again, you are fine. Once you start feeling uneasy after 24 hours without them, it's starting.
