Do withdrawels come in waves?

[browniev103]

I am in day two of detoxing off Norco and I had a really bad night last night but now I feel realatively ok. Not anywhere near great but I dont feel like I want to rip my skin off. I was just wondering if this is how the withdrawels go?

Day 4 for me was the hardest, I surely knew I was sabatoged as I had surgery in 3 days.  But the weening off was hard as hell and I noticed that it did come in variety of stages.  Sure as heck lost sleep.  I do not want to ever get to a point that alot have here on these boards.  But detox, takes a bit of time.  Make sure you drink for hydrating and do not (even if you feel like"!!!!" ) eat . I lost 15 lbs cause I felt lke heck.   No opiates during my sugery,  minimal to go home with I am  not doing this visious cycle of "no Choice  in my life because addiction" I choose choice, Life.

Hey Girlee congrads on day 2 so by now you know what to expect the next few days
and when I detoxed it defenetly came in waves you fell some what stable for a wile the the anxiety,sweets ,restless legs, would sorta come out of nowhere but it does get better with time...just be ready for a couple of more days of it then you will start to feel
better...I came off 10yrs of pills and then 6 1/2yrs of methadone so my withdrawal was sever and lasted a long time...but I had a hard habit to break..if I can do it anyone can
today is 121 clean for me and im now just starting to feel like my old self...again it just depends on how long you used and how hard of drugs your coming off...narcos are not any fun to get off of but the withdrawals usually last about a 5day week form what most people say so just hang in there...look into some aftercare like N/A it will help you thew this...good luck and God bless.....Gnarly

Thankyou soo much! That is exactually how I feel. I have cried more today than I have in a month. I am determined to get through this though. The nights are the hardest though. Alll I want to do is sleep and I cant and I feel like I am gonna go insane. And to answer trinity no I never took herion. Just Norco 10/325 that was prescribed to me by my dr, it just got out of control. I have a 2 and a 3 year old that depend on me. I want to be there for them without having to worry about getting pills or feel worthless when I dont have enough. I want to be happy just being sober me!

Hello, Are you coming off of street heroin? I don't mean to be personal I just don't know slang well. I can tell you with anything you will have your good and bad days, just push through it. Keep in mind this to shall pass. Good Luck and Congrats. I recently found out that only 15% of drug addicts actually get clean, so give yourself a big pat on the back! I got started in this by doing dope. This is a light believe me. Blessings to you and yours.

Sometimes yes I tended to have them in waves only bad things about getting them in waves is when days four and five seemed as bad as some of the waves in the start but it does get better either way I promise

For me they do, it seems like it's some sort of frequency that gets further and further apart the longer you go. I know that getting up and doing something does wonders for me. When I started exercising it was like pulling teeth to get through a workout, but now I almost get a "high" from it, and I use that word very loosely, I'm sure you understand.
