Hey used to bee,
You can expect to experience withdrawals within 24 hours after your last dose. Withdrawals will include muscle cramping, stomach pain, diarrhea, restlessness, shakes, yawning, and runny nose. If you want to avoid most of the withdrawals, you could taper slowly of the oxy. Not sure what number of milligrams you were taking each day, but if you are interested in a taper schedule I would be happy to help. Otherwise, hang in there, the withdrawals will pass in time.
Best wishes,
Laurie
