Withdrawal Help!
I have been using for about 6 or 7 months. Usually taking 160+ mg of oxycontin a day. For the past two months I began using opana 40mg ER twice a day or more. My addiction has caused me to lose my job, girlfriend, and money. I am ready to quit for good. It is about 28 hours since I last snorted an opana. When I felt withdrawal symptoms, I took 2mg suboxone. About 6 hours later I began to get extremely depressed and felt withdrawal symptoms once again. So, I took 4mg more suboxone and feel a lot better but am still feeling mild w/d's. I do not have more suboxone. Will I go through worse withdrawals when the suboxone wears off? If yes, then how long until they are over?? And is it true that the worst happens on day 3 or 4?? Thanks! Answers are appreciated.

I know this is going to come across as being ugly and please believe I am not. But if you can't give your own experience, then what is the forums for? I promise I am not being ugly, I am just trying to understand. If we come on here support because we are scared and just want to know what to look for and can't get that - seems like that would be a deterent for folks. Please - dont think I am at all being smart or ugly - I swear i am not, I am just trying to understand.

Thanks for that reply - as I said I was NOT being ugly...just new here and trying to make sure I read everything and understand it. Not really "looking" for anything - just looking for words...stories...strength- that is really it...there is not a lot that can help but that. Thanks for understanding I was not at all trying to be ugly.
I'm sorry I can't tell you about a similar situation, but my problem is alcohol! I totally suggest you seeing a doctor so he or she can help you safely detox and get better! My prayers & thoughts are with you!
