Oxycontin WD - 4th day-helpme

[mego579]

Im barely able to type right now.  I went on a trip to a remote house boat with freinds and discovered what WD really are. I'd been using oOxycontin up to 300 mg a day for about 2 years and while on the trip i thought it would be ok to break my 40 mg pills into 4ths and take them because i was running out with no chance of refill before the trip.  The WD started and the whole 4ths of a pill thing was out the window. They were gone before the first night and my freind had to confine me into a room of the house boat while they said i had seizures, screaming, begging to die, not sleeping in days until i was given Ketamine which is a drug i'd usually abused in the past and was familiar with but i'm not sure if it was a good idea or not becuase while in a K-hole i was able to stop the crazy leg shaking etc, but still felt everything jsut the same ( only being imobilized).  
Made it home, its day 4
my eyes are crazy dialeted still, my mind works but i cant communicate really yet without my voice shaking. i'm trying to eat ( the first night i puked like 30 times) but my stomach HURTS after. My skin is crawling.

I took the oxy in the first place because i have severe rhumetoid arthritis.
what do i do?
can i really ride this out here at home w/ my bf?(who was up for the whole time and is exhausted) - feeling better but thats not really saying much because i feel like HELL.
HELL!

how many days will this go on?
please

Btw, I am taking them from a doctor. He told me that it is best that I start tapering as soon as possible. I took 8 mg the first 2 days and then 4 every other day after. He told me that when I felt comfortable I should take smaller and smaller amounts until I don't have the physical wd's. I'm fine with the mental wd's. I am ready to get clean and be healthy. I just don't know what to do.. So what some of you are saying is that after taking a piece of Sub every other day or 2 days for 2 weeks that I won't ever be able to get off and that I will wd from the Sub after just a short time period... Because that is not what my doc is telling me.. I don't want to switch one drug addiction to another.... please help!

most on here HAVE did our research on it, it should be  used only under the care of a medical person, this person is takin it as needed every few days which means he/she is prob not using it under medical advise, and because of that they prob have not did much research on it! worried878 is a very knowledgable person and her advise is always good hearted and usually takin very well!
  What do you know about sub from all your research that you like to share??

You guys really need to research suboxone... besides 10 days clean and prolly ready to relapse.

hey - i'd say just get to that pllace where you " neeeed to take the sub" cuz u cant take it... run a hot bath w/ epson salt, lock the door and cry - just try to deal w/ it - thats not easy to say cuz i was almost held down while screaming craziness to get past those first 5 days - i'm at over 2 weeks and its better, and i was on WAYYYYYYY more opiate than ur taking -
u gotta stick it out - no medication can help the WDs .... just time - but think about it, 2 weeks... it feels long while ur doing it, but overall 2 weeks isnt that long. u can do it!
u need a freind to help u - cuz you'll get pretty sick - but it wont kill u and just count the days - thats what i've done - and i actually saw a movie in a theatre yesturday! (day 16) and even 2 days ago i didnt think i'd ever leave the house...
trust in your own wheelpower and just tell urself NO -
if u need to flush the sub - i'd say flush it -
then u can't give in

stop taking the sub and suffer the 5-7n days of w/ds. i was takin 15-20 tabs a day 10's, i went cold turkey, it blew untill about day 4 than started to get better. The sub is only makin it worse and prolonging what is to come, just get it over with, w/ds are a vital part of getting clean, they are something we all have to go through and nthing out there is going to take them away, ther is some things that might help you a little, but in the end you are going to have to get it done,

I have been taking 10 10mg lortabs a day for the past 2 1/2 years for severe sciatica. I am ready to get off. I know itI have been taking subs every other day for about 6 days to get off the lortabs. I tried stopping after 4 days and I was fine for one day and then the withdrawls came back super heavy. Does anyone know when the withdrawls from the lortab will stop?? Or how long until I can stop taking the subs? I read the whole post and I see that it can take a couple weeks to feel normal again.. So I am not there yet. Everyday I wait until I absolutely NEED the suboxone to take it. I take a quarter piece about every other day. I want to get off of everything! I hate this feeling and  am ready to be healthy. Please if anyone knows how long this will aprox last please let me know. And congrats on your 2 weeks!!! You are soo strong. I wish I had that strength! Good luck!! You are inspiration
