I took up to 160 mg Oxy every day for the last 2 weeks, then stopped, and now I can't stop crying and feel physically weak all day - am I depressed?

I hope this isn't permanent :(

I am sorry you feel this way.
It could be caused by withdrawal, when did u stop taking it?

4 days ago, the 2nd day was hell, each day has gotten slightly easier, but I still feel like crying at everything, and my chronic pain is extremely exacerbated

I did expect withdrawal, as I usually do when abusing opiates, but I just sometimes get confused and worried that what I'm feeling is something else!

It should slowly resolve, if rarely lasts more than a week.
Were you taking it for pain? You may even feel like your pain is stronger than before starting to take oxy but it is part of the withdrawal process and it should be over soon.

Why did you stop taking it if you're in physical pain & you need it?

Because it's black-market pharma-grade and costs $50 for 160mg a day! I was just abusing it for pleasure, so I could go out with my friend's children and have fun at the park, that kind of thing. My Dr will only give me 10 mg a day, which does nothing.

I bought it off the net and was abusing it, so I could override the pain and go out with my friend's children for a few days, and act like a normal person for 2 weeks. My Dr only gives me 10 mg a day, which is not enough. Yeah, the pain is much worse now!

Have you tried talking to your doc? 10mg is a minimal dose, If it is not working maybe they could consider changing the dose or switching meds?

They had to have a 'meeting' apparently about whether to even give me Oxycodone at all! They're that cautious with opiates now. I may ask for 20 mg split between 2 doses, see what they say. They're giving me Amitriptyline too, but I'm stockpiling that for CTB!

I hate doctors like that, who ignore the needs of patients out of fear.
I hope you will feel better soon

Thanks. If they gave me 100 mg Oxy a day and a strong Benzo to sleep at night, every single day, and I lived another 20 years, instead of CTB next week, then that's a 'win' isn't it?!

Well, I could take it every other day to try to prevent that, or just keep upping it - even if I get another 10 years, it's better than 1 more week!

goddamn war on drugs. such bullshit. people in actual pain can't get the help they need because money and reputation are more important.

look up ultra low dose naltrexone - when taken with an opioid at ug doses (ie not enough to prevent the opioid from binding to mu receptors etc), it can help prevent tolerance from rising as fast as it typically does

as of now you are likely in post acute withdrawal depression and hyperalgesia. have you tried kratom?
