It sounds like you are having withdrawalsDelirium tremens.  If that is your only use of opiates (2 1/2 mo.), then I would say it won't be long now.  If you can go without them, stick it out and you should be much better in the next two days or so.  Take hot baths or whirlpool.  Smoke a doob (if that is your thing) and keep yourself hydrated (drink fluids).  Maybe a xanaxXanax

Indications of head injury
Radial head injury many times...do you mean that literally or figuratively???  Either way, I know that's not the route you want to take.  Just posting on this forum tells me you're not ready to take that directive yet.  You've just got to find your way, whatever that may be.  Many people here swear by the AA/NA twelve steps, by admitting yourself powerless and answering to a higher power.  Some do not. I'm reading a book now by James Frey - "A Million Little Pieces", that takes the opposite approach, that you and you alone make up your mind to be sober and follow it through. As for my own opinion, I feel whatever works, you know?  Some people are comforted by "handing" their addictionsDrug abuse and dependence to a higher power; some do better by taking the power in their own handsHand or foot spasms
Hand tremor.  I'm kinda of the mind that "borrowing" from both theories work (but that's just for myself).  Like I said, it's what works best for YOU!!!  Read, read, read all the posts you can in this forum.  There's SO many great people who posts here; if nothing else, you'll realize you're not alone in your struggles.  I wish you the best, and keep posting....Lisabet
