How long does it take to withdraw from oxycodone?

I’m getting ready to start a new job, and I need to stop using oxy to pass the drug screen. Honestly, I’m tired of being an addict. I want to be done with drugs altogether, and I’m supposed to test in about a week and a half. Will I be out of withdrawals by then?

My sister was on oxycodone for her back for like two years. When the doctors figured out that she was making it up, they pulled her off of it pretty quick. Her detox took about two weeks, but I think thats because of how long she was on the drug. In reality, I dont think it should last more than seven days.

I took that step for like a month when my friends stole it from their mom. It was a pretty good high, but it gets really old really fast. After only two weeks I still went through a weeks worth of withdrawals when I decided to quit. Now, Im sober and considering college.

Oxycodone is a lot like heroin with withdrawals. I know that it can take right around a week to finally get done with the entire process. Even though you get sober doesnt mean that youre going to stop wanting to use. You really need to get psychological help so that you can convince yourself you dont need drugs to start with. If this sounds complicated, its because it is. Getting into recovery isnt as easy as it sounds.

By “oxy” I’m assuming that you’re talking about oxycodone. That’s a really strong painkiller, and the withdrawals can be a lot like what you go through on heroin. The sick feeling and the tremors will come on pretty slowly a few hours after your last dose, but they’ll get a lot worse by the third day. If you can hang on that long, things should start to get better. You should be through, or nearly through, your withdrawals by the time you go in to start your job.

Thats a rough one. What I do know is that oxycodone is a shorter acting version of OxyContin, and that means that it will take less time to leave your bloodstream interbody entirely. Withdrawals from opioids normally last 5 to 7 days, and require inpatient treatment if you have really bad withdrawal symptoms. Some people have to go on drugs like methadone to get through it before they can finally stop using altogether. I know that the withdrawal symptoms are just as miserable for something like oxycodone as they are for heroin or other painkillers. I definitely suggest talking to a rehab professional before going it alone.
