Day 3 of oxycodone detox

Figured I'd start a new thread. I'm in Day 3 of my oxycodone detox, and things seem to be going pretty well, perhaps because I tapered down to 5 mg over the course of two weeks.

Definitely have a general feeling of ickiness, but this is not near as bad as I expected. I even slept last night. Anyway, just want to let people who are going through the same process that it can definitely be done, and yes, I know, it sucks. I had RLS last night in a really bad way, a way that I did not know was even possible. It felt like torture, but with the Zanaflex my doc gave me I eventually slept. Its just a muscle relaxer, but it really does bring down your blood pressure (for me, which is somewhat high anyway) while making you very sleepy.

Good luck with the acute phase of WD, and then with PAWS if you happen to suffer from that too. I'm keeping my fingers crossed about that.
