Fentanyl withdrawal over!

It took 2 weeks to fully get over the fent withdrawal!!!  Two very agonizing weeks!

Now I'm tacking the oxycodone a week after getting decent sleep and it's just as difficult to come off as the fentanyl!  I thought it would be easier, but I was dead wrong.  I have the same exact symptoms of withdrawal.  I hope it lasts for two weeks or less once off.  I'm actually tapering off this med.  not sure if I have the ability to quit cold turkey.  This *****!

I've been on opioids for 6 years straight. It all began from a massive neck injury.  Whatever the cause to use the narcotics doesn't make it less easy to come off, that's for sure.  I honestly have nothing against narcotics whatsoever, yet they are not something I want to be on.

Congrats on 69 days clean.  I hope your fully back to feeling like you were prior!  Congrats on tackling withdrawal!  It's mighty brutal!

Those two weeks of agonizing withdrawal, I did not do much.  I'm surprised I recovered just after 2 weeks to be honest.  I thought it would take longer.  I opted out the suboxone route.  This way, I'll think twice before going on meds long term.  They say suboxone is easy to wean off, but I don't know.

I'm looking forward to being opioid and doctor free!  I'm still not free of it yet, but I will soon.  The thing that holds me back from quitting cold turkey is the lack of sleep and the agonizing muscle aches and involuntary muscle spasms.  I should of quit the 10mg percs with the fentanyl, then this would be over.lol

Congrats on one demon! While detoxing fro. Heroin I stayed in bed literally for a week. Only getting up to go potty. It was horrible. But I did it and so can you!! I have 69 days clean and this is the longest I have ever been clean so it can happen for anyone! Good luck and post for support:)
