Keep yourselves hydrated very important. If need be take small sips every ten minutes if you are vomiting. Take   Immodium. Hylands restful legs for rls.hot baths with epsom salts has magnesium.

Just knowing someone else is out there, too is very comforting. I mean comforting for someone that hasn't felt comfortable for 4 days : ) I made a joke (?) maybe things are changing for the better. I am not a religious person, but I am thinking and hoping for you to come thru this with the least amount of pain possible.

Opana is a opiate 6 times stronger than Morphine.  It's hell. I just said that like you, I am going through a terrible withdrawal myself--personally, I am struggling with it TOO.  

[tramevil]

I do not even know what Opana is. I am also 43 on the other side of the states. What questions do you have about withdrawal except that is is an awful experience that you should people in your life help you with.

Thank you. Withdrawing is such a damn lonely experience. Nobody I know has ever gone thru anything like this. They just have no idea how difficult it is. They think that this is what I deserve b/c I must be a drug addict. Right now I am just a person who needs help and needs someone to know what I am going thru and that I am not a bad person. I really am a good person who got stuck on an incredibly addictive drug. Withdrawals also cause you to get emotional, too! Can you tell?

[GA_need_help]

Please don't feel bad about yourselves.  Feel as good about yourselves as you can.  You have been on a terribly addictive,  medication.  And now you are doing what you can to overcome it, to get to the other side of it.  And you have both been doing the best you can in tho s awful withdrawal process.  If you didn't tell someone upfront, its because you were too afraid to do so.  And you went to the ER bc you were trying to be safe.  My sister and my niece was visiting my Mom in Austin (a couple weeks before this Christmas).  My sister LOST her tramadol.  She couldn't get out of the apartment they were staying in most of the time, no words were coming out when she tried speaking, and had the myriad of detox symptoms.  She can't tell my mother what happened for fear Mom would say she had lost her hard-earned sobriety of 7 years or so.  So, their relationship is in great trouble.  I will ask my sis what day her symptoms got better, and will post later.  I also want ya'll to know I am doing a taper off another terrible drug -- Opana ER.  So I am in the thick of this with ya'll.  And, what you are doing is absolutely wonderful.  Please give yourself as much lovingkindness as you can.  Please believe me.  You deserve it.  No matter what--no one should have to go through what you are braving.  I am praying for God's supernatural comfort and encouragment.  Please treat yourselves as you would treat your  best friend if he or she was where you are now.

exactly. lot's of self righteousness going around.  I'm in Southern CA right now and it is the worst part of the day (4:30AM) when it is the most lonely. I've kicked vicodin cold turkey and it wasn't this bad. I thought I would take trams instead to be a "good guy". **** that. I would rather kick the Vike's. Hope you aren't doing too bad. If you are at the computer after day 2, then I think you are looking at the end. If you have to leave please come back to tell me how you are doing. For some reason, knowing someone else is out there makes me feel a little bit better. Thanks.

7:30 am, I'm near Pittsburgh, PA. I was on methadone for 2 yrs to kick a bad herion habit and got off the methadone at the beginning of Dec. and started taking the trams to help with the methadone w/d's and get through the holiday. My boyfriend was on methadone too and quit that in August. I didn't tell him about the trams because I know he'll ust give me a hard time about it and that's the last thing I wanna hear his self-rightous  blah, blah, blah right now

[tramevil]

At first, no. Then by day 3 with symptoms so bad my girlfriend had to take me to the ER and she found out. She is not too happy with me right now. I don't blame her. I should have been honest and just told the people around me I needed help, but I was too embarrassed. I wish I would have told them, then they could make sure I got the right care. I don't know why, but I totally feel and felt like a loser and was too ashamed to tell anyone. Oh, well. I hope never again. What time is it where you are?

[CJJ28]

Not really that's why I posted on this site. At least it makes me feel like there's someone out there that can relate. I feel like a loser. Does anyone know your detoxing?

[tramevil]

I have to admit that it is better. I am more awake and have a little more energy, but the not sleeping is killing me. The diarrhea *****, too. Do you have people there who you can talk to and help you?

[CJJ28]

I know it feels like time is at a stand still. I thought about ordering some online last night, but I figured I will just be prolonging the envitible. So ur on day 4 and still no better? I was hoping that I was getting through the worst of it, but I guess I have many more days of pure hell to look forward to. I've been taking mag, zinc supplements and started the whey protein supplement too. Tried eating a banana for the potassium, but it wouldn't stay down. Took a bunch of melatonin last to try to sleep but that didn't  work either...

[tramevil]

I hate to say this, but I am on day 4. I was on a lot for a long time and this is the worst experience of my life! I've been trying to read all the post to cheer me up. Actually went to the ER yesterday I felt so bad. They didn't do much. Everybody says it takes time, but time goes by so slow and every second is terrible. Are you this bad?

[CJJ28]

This so *****!!! No sleep, legs are killing me. Anything helping you at all?

[tramevil]

Are you there? I am going thru same thing. Terrible
