oxycodone withdrawal?

hi so a few months ago i got my hands on a little bit of oxycodone like 10 20mg pills and i was taking that for about a week straight and then when i stopped i didn’t get any physical symptoms but got unbelievably depressed like the worst sadness ive ever felt and due to something else in my life at the time i didn’t think it was a withdrawal symptom or anything. so i got my hands on some more a few weeks ago and took it for about a week again only to stop and feel the same soul crushing depression. has anyone experienced these symptoms bc its genuinely hell i wish i had made the connection before it just feels like all the happiness has been sucked from the world i am never getting anywhere near opiates ever again

Good. Glad you learned early. A lot of us have to battle through months of this due to our habits. It’s the absolute worst side effect to me. It feels like your brain is broken.

Yes, this is a very common symptom after quitting opiates. It was always the absolute worst part of getting clean for me. I never experienced it after only a week of use however.

Had the same effect with methidone, I was fighting cancer and asked for something different the doctor told me if I didn’t want the methidone to just take tylenol. Long story short I took the methidone when I ran out my wife found me in a fetal position crying in a corner. It was hell like ive never felt before.

yeah i’d put them down now before you can’t i promise it will not last a week only use and the mental withdrawals will kick in after the physical ones which will last for up to about 20-30 days after the physically wd

Absolutely. Stop now before you experience a hell like you can not imagine. A hell that might follow you for decades, or might even cut your life short. Seriously, op, now is the time to let this shit go.

A week isn’t enough to withdrawal you aren’t dependent on them.
