My last day I took 60mg oxycodone and 60mg of lab that was Monday it's now Thursday all I've been taking is anti diarrhea meds about 15 per day and it hasn't been bad I'm really bored and my legs won't relax as for muscle aces or headache or nausea I.have had none of that , my question is why are my withdrawals taking so long to come ???

Hi beneath,  I'm wondering how you are feeling today?  As was said above everyone is different. I know that when I detoxed from Roxis, I was taking about 6-8 per day, I felt mostly fine for the first 2 days.  I think I had some mild symptoms, but nothing major. I was even able to sleep the first 2 nights. Then, on day 3, it really hit me. I felt awful for days 3 through 5, and finally started feeling a little but better from day 6 on.

The good new is there are things you can do to help relieve some of the symptoms. If you are feeling bad, check out the Thomas Recipe on this site for some good information. Also, be careful with the anti diarrhea meds. You don't want to cause a whole different problem.

Take care, and let us know how you are doing. You will get lots of great advice and support here. All the best!

Actually I don't think that is too long... Wondering how you are doing? Wish I had some advice for you buy I chickened out and am on subutex... Most people say at least a week if you were that high of a dose. Good luck to you!

Its most likely the loperimide in the anti-diarrhea meds. Especially if you're taking 15 per day.  Most heavy users know that in large quantities, loperimide can reduce withdrawal symptoms drastically.  Just be careful you don't constipate yourself so bad that you contract blocked bowel , which will mean a trip to the ER.  In your favor is that you appear to not be a continuous user, but you will at some point experience latent withdrawal effects of opiates including (PAWS)..'post acute withdrawal syndrome'.  240 mg of oxy is way to much for anyone to be taking.  You need to take a hard look at why you're taking so much and perhaps get yourself into a recovery program before you end up in a detox.  These things have a way of sneaking up on the best of us.

Everyone is different.   I was taken. 5 15mg of oxycodones roxys.   I tried to go ct at home and thought I was going to die lol. Only made it a few hours.  I recently checked myself into rehab to detox where I thought I was going to be given suboxone to help with the withdrawals but to take them you have to start having withdrawal symptoms so I waited and waited and I didn't experience any major withdrawals.  I'm 15days clean.  I have some anxiety and can't sleep  but I also have major back problems.   I haven't even been taken vitamins which I need to start doing.   They sell OTC rls pills,  eat bananas  that will help with the rls.  Good luck
