Detoxing from Oxy while at work? Day 1 :(

[JVegas50]

I have a huge oxycodone habit and I hope posting here helps with me get through the detox process.  I was taking about 12 30mg Roxys per day for the past 2 years.  Unfortunately I preferred to snort them and honestly I think that I’m more addicted to that then anything.  The feeling that I got from the actual snorting sensation is very addictive.  Anyways, I’m attempting to start my detox today.  I took 1 subutex today, which helped a bit.   Starting tomorrow, I will not be taking anything.   The other unfortunate part – I cannot miss work.  So, I have Imodium and 800mg IB. I figure if I can make it to Friday then I have the weekend, by Monday the 7th, I will be decent.   I’m a 33yo male.  Does anyone have anything they can add as far as getting through the withdrawals while working?  I’m really worried about the energy part of it.  I appreciate any feedback.  Thank you.

Make sure you drink a ton of water, gatorade etc...and protein shakes will help....some say the 5HTP helps, but i've never tried it....take multivitamins and try B12 liquid...it gets into your system quicker because it's sublingual.

Congrats on stopping....i'm sure you know it does get better after you get thru the first few days.  hang in there...more support will be along soon.

on my way out the door so I will respond better later but I have to be honest with you.  at the amount you were taking, I don't see how there is any way possible you can detox and work at the same time.  You didn't taper, correct?  you went from 12 pills per day to one Subutex to nothing tomorrow?

You are going to be pretty sick, like the flu.  Can you work while having the flu?  What do you do if you don't mind my asking?
