Day 1 and 2 and 6 were the hardest for me mainly cause of insomnia and RLS (which most of us get) I took so many baths I lived in the tub to help with RLS. Someone mentioned tonic water and potassium helps with RLS, I do a little Xanax to help with the insomnia (not much or everyday

Hi and Welcome-

If you go to the top of your screen there is a blue (it's blue now right?) button that says Ask A Question.  Fill it in and introduce yourself.  We will respond and this is how we follow each individual.

As per w/d symptoms.  Off of 150 mg of oxy/nalexone/hydro I had a really sore tummy, no vomiting but lots of pain and nausea. Not much D- which is weird because I have Crohn's disease and have that anyways.  Bad RLS and just basically felt like I'd been run over by a Mac Truck.  Chills, creepy crawly skin and sneezing.  The RLS and no sleep were the worst.  BUT-
I was happy when I was detoxing.  Weird, but true.  The gift you get at the end of detox is so worth it.  An authentic self, a clear head, and a fresh start.

I am reading all these replys and want to watch this and learn from it as well. I need to try and come off the Percy's as well but I have a hip replacement coming up in the new year. Do you recommend that I wait til after the surgery? They did give my OxyContin after my first hip replacement so that's what scares me. As a very new person to this forum. How do I watch this exact post and the comments. I do not want to lose you all.

Day 10 no oxycodone.  Body is finally feeling better.  They really screw up you entire digestive system.  Im glad i made it this far, but i wont lie and say I am completely fine.  The mental part is really getting to me.  I feel so off Im starting to think something is really wrong...like cancer or my liver is damaged.  crazy thoughts, but im sure im overreacting and the mental power of this pills are taking over any logic i might have.

[Pat1956100]

Exactly, everyone is different.  That's why you shouldn't worry about what's about to happen because it may not.  Sometimes reading on these forums can scare the hell out of people so it may be best just to post your symptoms as they come and ask for suggestions.

Climbing walls...perfect example of how i felt detoxing h..

[jethro733]

I didn't get RLS from a 500ish +/- 1-200 mgs per day of oxy.   Maybe the occasional spasm but to be honest that was more from the thrashing due to my guts feeling like they were dying (other complications plus the funky w/d stomach).  The symptoms definitely vary from person to person.  I never got flu symptoms either, just wrongly cold on a warm sunny day and climbing the walls wanting to get out of my skin with no sleep (surely everyone get's that last one at least? haha)  

Worrying about what will happen most definitely makes things worse, I had a friend who'd psych herself up so much about it she'd be a nervous wreck and just in a total state and it wouldn't even be ten o'clock on day 1.  Just take it as it comes and it is what it is, chasing pleasure does not come without suffering.

I wish i did though, then i could loose the 30 kilos i put on doing my sub detox

[Amandag78]

Hey guys, i never got rls in my sub detox. I never got any bathroom issues withdrawaling heroin or subs and never vomited. So of coarse no 2 detoxes are the same : )

[Pat1956100]

I think that's very rare though.

[Pat1956100]

What blows me away is some people don't have bathroom issues.  I just can't imagine that.  I spend most of my time in there lol.

[Pat1956100]

I know right.  They sure sound awful and I have been through many, many withdrawals.  Yes do share it because it really doesn't happen to everyone so people can have that hope.

[PurrfectlyKrazy]

I hope you don't mind if I share that....it is comforting to know that one of the most dreaded symptoms does not necessarily have to happen.  Obviously we can't promise it won't but offering a little bit of hope is a good thing too.  It seems to me that you got a little luck on your side :-)

[Pat1956100]

No idea.  Just lucky I guess.  I have had it before from gravol (too much) but never during ALL of my detoxes.  I felt it in my arms during some bad ones and even in my chest but none in my legs.
I have talked to several people who didn't get it in their legs.
It's a good thing because I don't have a bathtub and I hate that when I'm in withdrawal lol.

[PurrfectlyKrazy]

Thanks Pat.  I did say almost everyone...but not everyone.  You are actually the first I've talked to who has specifically told me they didn't get RLS...you lucky devil you!  What WAS your secret?  Thanks for letting me know that fact :-)

[Pat1956100]

Not everyone gets it.  I have never had it and know many others who didn't.
If it happens, it happens but don't stress waiting for it since it may not even be an issue.

[PurrfectlyKrazy]

Hun, almost everyone gets RLS....but not usually on the first day.  You'll probably start noticing it on the 2nd evening or the 3rd.  Make sure you have what you need to replace the magnesium in your leg muscles and the tonic water with Quinine.  Those will help with the RLS.  Just remember....it isn't forever....do your best to do what you can to ease your symptoms and then promptly do anything you can to keep your mind off of it....walking, exercising, watching some comedy, chatting with friends...anything that will keep you from dwelling on how you feel.  It will NOT last forever and it will be ever so worth it.

[Pat1956100]

No, I didn't ever get restless legs so don't even worry about it unless it happens.  Some people don't get all of the symptoms.
Just relax, watch some funny videos on youtube if you can't sleep and keep your spirits up.  What will be will be.
Just remember it is temporary.

What day was hardest for you

[wannastp]

Thanks today's MY first day thank you I'm off tomorrow as well I just keep telling mysf the money I would spent I can buy my car I wanted lol but I. Feeling really under the weather but not restless yet should I feel like that yet

[Jameskeenom8171992]

Purrfectlykrazy I just have to say you are a great person for doing what your doing, you helped me with my post you have pointer and tips I see you helping others you truly are god son. Doesn't matter how bad your family was look how you turned out helping others in needs I gotta say you turned out great and your a good person forgive me for saying if your family doesn't know that about you then **** them cause your great truly!!!

[PurrfectlyKrazy]

I understand how easy to is to use the pills to cover the underlying pain of losing family...no matter what kind of lose.  When my blinders came off I realized that I missed my family....though it was so dysfunctional I never had a loving family...now I have to learn to accept the family the way it was and is.

[Jameskeenom8171992]

Hey so how far along are you on your detox? I'm currently detoxing as well right now and I'm glued to this site,it helps me take my mind off things. I'm 72 hours sober so I'm with you all the way on this one. When you get to day 2 or even 3 days then call in sick would be the best bet. I heard days 3-5 are the toughest. That's just people's opinion it may be easier for you. God has a plan for us all and he's put that thought in your head that you need to quit. I was on a lot higher dosage than you were I was doing anywhere from 20 to 30 a day. I'm 22 but I went to college for a year and for those of you who don't know there a lot of drugs around there and its easy to become addicted haha I'm hear for you
