Hi Chuck,
I've generally heard the 5-6 day estimate for people withdrawing off hydro. That's what it was for me. I've also heard that percs and oxy can be tougher to w/d from, and the symptoms longer lasting....sorry to say. You've come a long way already, though. Please hang in....wish I could offer more than words of encouragement. M.

Hey Chuck,
Hang in there. It can be more like a 2 wk period before your body begins to feel better. It was for me. My doc. encouraged me not to be discouraged. This was when I withdrawled from Oxy. Also, something to consider, your immune system may be really stressed out. So on top of withdrawl you could have a little virus. Lots of water, warm baths, etc. don't give up. Hopefully soon you will see each day get better.

i sure hope so im still really sick and still having chills and sweats they say its gets worse everytime you kick so ill just have to ride it out
Just ride it out, chuck. Hang in there....I don't know about oxy withdrawl, but I wouldn't want to try. I would suggest journaling how you feel, so when you are tempted to go back, you will remember how you feel. I am sending happy vibes your way..you probably need them..

Chuck,
I was on 550mg-600mg a day of oxycontin chew them like lollies myself. Been clean a few day months..... I took a while though longer than I thought it would around 4 weeks until I could hang the washing out that kind of thing. its tough I know hydro is hard s*** it was my first experience of coming off pain killers and my last let me assure you it was just pure hell. The toilet paper I used was just unbeleivable. LOl but take it day by day sometimes you will wake up and you will feel the same as yesterday then one day you wake up and you feel ok.. its just time and I know its hard cause you just want to wake up and feel good and get on with it but it took us a while to get to that kind of addiction so it takes a while to get clean. God bless you take care of yourself and keep posting you found the right place here lots of people with lots of terrible experiences and lots and lots and advice.
FOr the sleep try taking something natural like valerium forte from the health food shop thats seem to work for me.... I was put on valium coming of that was worse than the blody hydro's so I put them all in the bin.
Lots of fluids juices and vitamin tables and vitamin b helps very much for me anyway.
Take care
