i would think the sweating is the codeine w/d...that shouldn't last as long. whatever w/d u experience from the butalbital might last longer though
Thank both of you for the support, and thank you my_mayberry for the detailed post and advice. I am definitely having trouble sleeping along with the muscle aches. To be honest though, I would feel a lot better if I would stop sweating so much.
Thanks again.
most of your physical symptoms sound like symptoms of codeine withdrawal, although some certainly could be from the butalbital also. jerks and tremors and anxiety and restless legs all are symptoms of barbiturate withdrawal and the others you describe tend to be more opiate...but all symptoms could be either drug. this is the bad part of w/d from butalbital/codeine compounds....you get hit twice and you really never know what ur gonna get. you really should ask your doctor how long it will last, but i would guess the physical symptoms wouldn't last much longer than they usually do with opiate withdrawal. barbiturates can have extended physical symptoms lasting quite some time after you d/c the drug, but this is usually rare if you've done a proper taper. usually the worst w/d from the barbiturate, no matter how good your taper was, tends to be the mental effects...increased anxiety/panic attacks...sometimes even what feels like mental breakdowns.....inability to sleep....those can last quite some time. muscle twitches also. then t heres the urges on top of everything else.
well be proud you've made it this far and keep us posted. hopefully the symptoms don't last long for you. IF you ever get a new RX for this drug, which would be highly inadvisable since you can't use this drug without abusing it once you're addicted, i would suggest never getting another script for the fiorinal with codeine. i'd get one without codeine so that at least that drug would be cut out of the mix. obviously the better idea is never to take it again...i'm just saying that if you ever did give in to tempation as so many of us do, i would at least attempt to cut out the codeine.
i hope that came out right. i'm not sure that it did. anyway, best of luck to u
