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

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!

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.

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

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
