I was taking oxycodone and hydrocodone for about six months virtually everyday and about on avg 5 7.5 hydrocodone a day and then the oxycodone every now and then when it was available..... the oxycodone were roxicet 30 mg. I ran out of my oxycodone about three or four days ago and it was about 8 or 9 hours after I just broke down and cried... and have cried prolly a couple times a day since then. I also have trouble breathing, but I smoke marijuana so yeah...... I need feedbaack. Thank you.

Depression and axiety are part of ANY withdrawal. Do a google search for EFT (emotional freedom techniques). It's a form of accupressure and you can easily get rid of these feelings. It's sounds weird but it works for any emotional distress (cravings, anxiety, sadness, etc.). Try it!

Depression and anxiety are definetely aspects of opiate withdrawal. It's why most people go back. Type "opiate thomas recipe " into a search engine. There's a vitamin regiment that definetely helps. You should feel better in 60-72 hours. Just don't go back or you'll have to start all over again.
