I'm addicted to oxycotin I've been quit now for two days I need to know how long I'm going to feel like this I've been taking them for 3 years and I'm really trying someone please help

Are you in contact with any professional assistance?You might get yourself prepared if the withdraws get too much.

Withdraws can last days,Water,Water,and more Water!!

I have never come off OXYs so I can't tell you what its like,But all withdraws have nasty effects,if you feel too overwhelmed with it,go to the ER.they can help(and will)

Good luck,let us know how you are,

Ken

KBC is right if you are having a hard time during withdrawal go to the ER or a rehab or get a straight friend to be there to help you through.
The ER will likely give you Xanax or something to counteract the immediate withdrawal. They won't prescribe it long term.

The mental health gave me Paxil for my anxiety I was going through at one point. It had me where I didn't sleep for about a week and sometimes I couldn't tell if I was asleep or awake it was really strange. Then I started levitating and spinning and my daughter's teddy bears were skipping rope. I called my mom at 4 am and she took me to the ER and they gave me Xanax and it got me through it and back to normal. Now when I have anxiety I just take B 12.

Don't forget to get some food into you that will give you energy.
More fluids as Ken said.

If you need support and need to talk, you can do it right here,but if you think you need medical help,please do see a doctor.

Glad to hear your doing OK,

Now is the real test of your intentions,can you STAY off the drug?

Can you do it alone? That is where the help is needed the most(at least from my standpoint),Once addicted always addicted.

Looking for help staying off it is no more than a phone call away.Narcotics Anonymous is listed in almost all phone books.

If you don't want to go through this again,give them a try,what can it hurt?

All I can say is the withdraws are going to take as long as they will,not sarcasm,just truth.

It depends on too many possibilities,but by the sounds of things,your through the worst of it.

I'm on day 9 now its getting better each day hope I can make it... thanks all...

Take every day as it comes, or even better divide it into easier parts like 6 parts of 24 hours.
Take each period as it passes.

In case no told you yet, you never have to go back to day one again. Keep quit and you will make it.
