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

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!

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 ******

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.
