questions about opiate withdrawal

[bozu20023]

5 and a half weeks ago i quit 10mg lortabs cold turkey i only got up to 20mg a day and didnt do that for long before i experienced withdrawal. bad anxiety some depression insomnia most of the mental withdrawals some mild physical withdrawal. i didnt and still have not had a single craving. smoking week makes me anxious sometimes but not always. at this point im pretty sure i am doing much better have my apite back and energy. but still throughout my day i have bad thoughts that bring me down (not nearly as bad as they did weeks 1-3). i really just feels like lingering mild anxiety not as bad as the kind i was feeling in weeks 1-3 just wondering if im getting close to feeling normal again the only thing i really feel at this point in a few thoughts that i dont want to thing about for example my loved ones being save of my own safety. im also adhd not bad but was wondering if that could me making it last this long?

To be honest it would probably end up giving you rls anxiety and those kind of things once it wears off but why chance it ? why do you want to use this anyway ? why go thru all this just to poison yourself again ? I do understand in a sense, looking for a high but where I'm at in my recovery I'm like WHY ? Heck I have read of instances where peps have done this and messed up there serotonin levels for life !! I have a liver disease from drugs and damaged kidney Thank Goodness my Brain is not damaged !! I will send a prayer for you tonight Bozu.. lesa

i hate how dull and unsafe i have been seeing the world for the past 3 weeks iv never been the kind of person to care about being that much about my safety and seeing nothing but death and the bad in life im slowly starting to see the beauty in life and finally learning to live again the way i used to without much fear of anything except spiders eww i hate spiders so much!!! lol

I would like to share some information that you would really like to get your hands on..I pick up in your words that you are a very caring person..I like that...I did and still give this to my God and go to Meetings But this helps me every day to remember how this works in the Brain..You can type up the Disease of Addiction and the Pleasure Pathway" You can also order videos..The best one I just love is "Pleasure Unwoven"..Disease of Addiction..I think we have some info on this site too..I see it pop up once in a while..Try to go surf the web and print out info or get some videos..I pass this info to everyone I know that wants to come clean...OK

Hi..You sound like you are on the right track..Great Job on the time you have behind you..The w/ds symptoms are the same in most no matter what they use..It is the body getting rid of the poisons..But remember some can bounce back quicker then others..What I have seen from my experience that it depends of how much, how long, and how old you are..I am so proud of you and your strength to catch this now..I pray you can pass this to others..The Drs & Phams are on a roll...Ekkkkk! Great Job !!!

thanks so much yes i think im getting back to normal i dont ever want to touch one of those discusting things again i should have known better in the first place but i think people dont inform you well enuff of what you are putting yourself through like yes i knew that opiates can be atticting but all my close friends and family would say things like dont mess with those, or those are no good for you. but i think if someone would have set me down and been like look dude your gona have about a week or 2 of flu like symtoms and then be super anxious for almost 2 months stright i would have stopped right then im going to do my best to discribe detail for detail exactly what w/d is like to anyone i see going down a that road because while i know i did this to myself i can say no one knows what they are doing to them selfs until they experience w/d

Hi Bozu.. Welcome to the forum.. Congrats on 5 and 1/2 weeks !! Although your dose was low it can still effect you as the trams have a antidepressant like effect.. so a lil anxiety our depression may linger for about 6 weeks this seems to be the time for most that the last of the symptoms leave.. so you are very close.. It is good you caught this early !! I wish you well on your journey. lesa
