How long does Roxy WD last?

[EZ1076]

Just stopped taking Roxys, was doing them for a while but was always smart enough to not let it get out of control, recently though it became an everyday habit snorting about 3-6 a day which lasted for a good 5-7 months i dont even know at this point, crazy how easy it is to keep it from the people who surround your life, they literally had no idea what i was doing, I guess i didnt either, anyway about 1 day into stopping, its not too bad yet, i know it will get worse, for me the aches are unbearable but ive been told the best way to think of it is to just think the flu and know youll get better, makes sense to me, whenever i am sick i feel like ill never feel better again but sure enough sooner than later it goes away, anyway... how long do the WD symptoms normally last? im hoping the worst will be over within 3 days, i have a doctors appointment at that point but i really hope that i will feel good enough that i wont go to it... got nothing better to do maybe ill keep adding to this

I have been taking 1/2 a 30mg (Roxy) in the morning and the other half in the late afternoon. Never exceeding 30mg per day. I want so badly to stop, but am afraid of the withdrawal which will follow. Please advise the best way to get through this. THX.

Hi and Welcome. Your post is on a really old post, you may want to repost as a new post in the group, glad you are here. There is a lot of wisdom on here that can assist in your journey.

My husband is similar to your gf. He uses the word pill head and I cringe, he has no idea about my struggle. Sounds like you have a great lady, go ahead and kick this habit and get on the right path.

I just quit using friday.. my payday.. i bought one to get my ****** feeling away and its been 3 days now.. Im finally starting to withdrawal after 3 days.. i didnt sleep last when i did fall asleep i woke up in a puddle. I work in front of  a computer screen in the AC and legit every hour my body temp changes.  1 hour im hot as ever the next im cold as can be while sweating none stop.  Ive been using for about a year now.. never doing over 3 in a day , usually 2 a day with a blunt. So i never thought it was a problem and until recently i never had any side affects.. about 2 months ago i went out of town forgot my supply and was fine my whole trip(i did smoke bud pretty heavy tho) anyway its now 2 months later and it finally caught up with me which a friend of mine who already went down this path and got over told me would happen.  He said u cant do it recreational it will catch up to you. sure enough the past week or 2 ive had some unexpected bills come up.. which took my pill money which normal would be ok.. worst week of my life waiting for my next check. when i knew i was getting paid i started going thru it hard i felt like i was dying i left work without anyone knowing cashed my check n got what i needed. i waited till i got back to work to do them but legit once i had them in my possession i felt a lot better.. so much better knowin i was about to get what ive been hurting for and the car ride back to my work really made me think about what i had just done.. put my job on tthe line to go get something i never knew i needed.. i thought i just did them cause i liked them and i was hit by a car so it helped a lot.. anyway i did them still.. then told myself that this wasnt normal.. ive never felt this way. and ive been smokin bud for 6 years and never felt a need for it.. just like to toke in the morning n before bed sometimes i wont smoke for a week and feel no typpe of way.  Long story short i believe im a smart person and i caught myself before my addiciton became a problem.. im a couple days in and it ***** but im doing fine and im really proud of myself. i always informed ppl around me of what i had been doing over the past all of who had no idea besides my gf.  He she knew something was going on but never knew n didnt wanna call me out but she claimed i was a clothes junkie at one point i always wanted new clothes n over the past year i had barely bought anything (been with her for 3 years, known her for 7) so she knew me and knew something was up but i never told anyone anything except for one person and as long as the bills were paid she didnt wanna start anything.. by the way after i told her it also back fired on me big time and she told me she never associate  with  a pill head and couldnt believe i was one and packed her stuff and was gone.  I think she knew what she was doing its been a week or so she is now talking to me and staying with me.. scared the living **** outta me i loved this girl from the moment we met and after 4 years had finally got her.  My sudden change of heart with the pills and her quickness to leave me over a "pill" habbit (she smokes with me) have made me 110 percent ok with whats going on and so ready to move ahead and begin a normal life without a dependence on something.  Everyones been saying ill get the want.. i start to want and need and i have to tell myself no.. but honestly im more scared of losing the love of my life rather then dealing with these withdrawals there nothing to me.. knowing i could lose her its all ive been thinkin about my withdrawals from her were 1000 times more painful then from roxy. never ever again and i just wanted to put this on paper(or a screen lol) some replies would be awesome.  Good luck everyone. its been real

[lauren1104]

well I have been coming off of roxies for about almost 3 weeks and I still feel like absolute **** and don't want to do anything I feel like the pain is never going to go away and im never going to get my energy back. which I did do them for 15 years and im only 26.

[EZ1076]

still need advice? just checked this again today

[EZ1076]

yeaa for a while then fell back into it, but then i quit again, using a 1 month sub taper, still had withdrawals but they were over for the most part 5 days in

been clean for some time now, weirdly, i still will use every now and then but have managed to keep it to just once a month if that, its pretty stupid on my part to even do this but it is what it is

[Hollywood328]

Hi everyone. I am posting in regard to my bf who just admitted to me hes been taking roxys again. Hes was in rehab last november and was clean up until may. i knew something was wrong when i seen him sweating and acting a little crazy. He says he wants to to stop but his old friends keep popping up and getting him started again. He wants to try to kick on his own and i want to try to help him anyway i can. Please any advice for me or for him! Im desperate.......

[grizzlyman]

hey EZ, your story inspired me. I would like to talk to you more for advice PLEASE. Will be looking forward to seeingif you still check this thread.

[grizzlyman]

hey ericka, I am in the same boat and could use a friend to bounce feelings/advice off of. let me know if you have any ?s for me or advice. thanks

[grizzlyman]

I started taking percocet 10 mg on weekends ( 4 pills tops for whole weekend)  a couple of years ago. Obviously this was a decision I am not proud of because inevitably it ended up progressing until I was taking them daily until the guy I was getting them from stopped getting them and all he had was ROXY.. I was taking half of one every day at first and now I am taking about 60 mg/day on avg (2 roxy) and have been doing so for about two years. I thought it was ok because I still graduated with a BA in finance from USF, work a good job, work out often etc.. but now I am sick and tired of depending on something EVERYDAY and have recently realized I DO have a problem. I do not have anyone to speak OPENLY with about my addiction and thought this may be the place to do so. I will greatly appreciate any help/support/advice I can get and I will do my best to post here daily.  

[grizzlyman]

hello all, I am also starting tomorrow morning to kick this bs. will be posting and checking in for advice as frequently as possible. Seems like a good encouraging place for people to discuss, for a change.

[Dancedance405]

Did you kick the rox?

[erickaaaaxoxo]

I am just starting day two and let me tell you, this blows. My jaw hurts, my legs are in a ridiculous amount of pain. I did not sleep at ALL this past night. It is absolutely terrible, but i guess I've got to get through this for the better, but it is so hard to see the bright side when you're feeling so ******

[Toostrongtobeaddicted]

I am currently on day 9 of quitting roxys cold turkey. Been hell--but I'm proud of me!!!!!!!!!!!!

[minn66]

Good morning, ez. Thanks for the update. I'm glad you quit and stopped the subs. I never took them and they do have their purpose, yet I have also heard of people getting addicted to them too, which is another can of worms. Please keep us updated and keep up the excellent work!

[atthebeach]

hey thanks for the update. congratulations on your 2 clean weeks.
awesome. good job on cutting out all the people in your life that use, that is huge and a very necessary thing.
keep up the good work.
i think you meant to write that getting a roxy isnt the first thing on your mind. lol freudian slip i guess.
keep the faith.
continued blessings, stay strong. you got this

[EZ1076]

Hey everyone, just wanted to post a little update

Been doing great, feeling real good, stopped with the subs, going back and reading everything I wrote, damn was I in a hole but I feel amazing right now, it feels great to have a lot of my energy back and I definitely feel like I am becoming myself again

Temptation hasnt really been there but I cut out anyone in my life who was still using, the best feeling in the world is knowing that the first thought on my mind when I wake up in the morning is how I am going to get a Roxy

[EZ1076]

so i got prescribed a 2mg suboxone, to be taken three times a day, in addition to colidine and gabapentin this was 2 days ago... took 2 the first, 3 the second and now 2 today and feel fine, i want off of this as soon as possible can anyone speak from experience and tell me the best way to take and ultimately stop taking the subs?

[minn66]

Hi ez. Glad you are doing somewhat better today. Ugh, I always hated hearing it but it does take time. Some days will be better than others, but you will notice improvement. Hang in there.

[EZ1076]

feeling a lot better minus still havin the runs, aches arent anywhere near as bad, a little irritable as well but definitely some improvement.... maybe the worst is over, i sure hope so

[minn66]

I have had people tell me I'm not myself, which is kind of sad because I wasn't myself when I was on the meds! I get what they mean, though, because now I admit I am grumpy and facing things I haven't faced head-on before. I also deal with chronic pain which certainly doesn't improve one's mood! I feel it getting better bit by bit. Like gnarly says, the tortoise wins the race. You have to be OK with being not ok for a while. Just keep going and keep posting!

[EZ1076]

Ugh today is miserable, starting to become fed up with everyone around me and its not really their fault, i know im acting like an a**shole but not much i can do about it, feeling real anxious today, got some more things to do today which should take me into the evening and will help past the time.. ugh cant wait to get over this feeling, and the right way not the easy way

[Littlelegs2003]

Congrats on quitting, first of all - I know how hard it is to make that break. Days 3 & 4  sucked the most for me - pain, restless legs, lack of sleep, sheer irritability... But, it did pass. Baths helped. A lot!! I love reading about other addicts so that helped distract me for some of the time. And posting on here does help - I posted virtually every thought & feeling I had. It was just nice to know that there was support out there! You can do this. Stay strong!
