Hi everyone! i was reading this forum and i have afew questions for anyone out there. Here is my situation. Had tonsillectomy on the dec 8th, started bleeding again 8 days later so had them recauterized...so up until yesterday was on oxy and hydrocodone for 20 days .. i think in all i took (20) 20 mg Oxycontins; (2) 350mg bottles of oxycodone liqid; and (3) 350 bottles of lortab (hydrocodone). mmm what fun :) a little history on me i have been a pretty big partier (durgs, alcohol) since high school and threw college .. untill recently i only socially drink.
What i took:
-8th: My 1st sugery (1) lortab hydrocodone
-9th:called and got stronger prescription for pain (1) roxicet(sp?) oxycodone
-10th started bleeding a litte saw on call doc and he prescribed (20) 20 mg oxycontin.
*** at this point in feeling good :) *** not a thought of the pain to come last night***
-15th rushed to emergency room do to bleeding (was coming out like a faucet) i seriously thought i was going to die... never knew you could lose that much blood! without needing a transfer. (nurses at hospital gave me morphine for a few times and a few pills of hydrocodone for the pain)
-Hospital give me prescription for 2nd bottle of lortab.
-by this time ive finished all of that pain med dished out above.
-20th see doc and says throat looks better satay home for 5 more days... gives me prescription for lortab again with refill.
-Not working as well as oxycodone so i get prescription again from doctor for 2nd bottle of roxicet oxycodone.
-upon running out above i use a previous refill from first sugery. and drink that up untill 1 dose yesterday morning.
So at this point yesterday morning (20) 20MG oxycontin, (2) bottles of oxycodone, (3) lortab hydrocodone. a few pills and morphine at the doctors.
I started to kinda feel some withdrawl when i ran out of the oxycodone around 22nd. and actually this morning ive come to realize that (being the first day with nothing) i am having some serious withdrawl symptoms ... last night i even took a sleeping pill and didn't sleep at all.
The good thing is that i haven't smoked in about a month now but now im pretty addicted to this codone.
My question is this how long should i expect withdrawl given the amout i took in 20 days.
Also i have gone through nic withdrawls in past (previous attempts at quitting smoking) that were pretty horrible... is this going to be worse?
Lastly, when i was younger my father had an addiction to this stuff had to go into a 30 day treatment program (granted he was using for longer time) should i be able to CT this.
Oh and by the way that last prescription with refill for the lortab i ripped up and threw out yesterday as well.
