How long does Roxy WD last?

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

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

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.......

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.
