NEED REASSURANCE!!! PLEASE HELP!
Guys all my feeling from the first few worst days are back and they're hitting hard I need help please! Please help me! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!
I'm on day 39, right about there, and the mental was the worse part. I have dealt with anxiety all my life, and can totally understand worry that you don't know why. The impending doom feeling.
Mine is slightly better now, but all mine isn't wd related. But this spell is pretty bad.
Our minds produce fear at this time, fear of the unknown. And our imaginations can and usually conjure up scenarios that are way worse than anything that really can happen.
I see above you were given Clonidine, which I think is a great med for wds, and anxiety, but sometimes not enough. Perhaps look into Vistaril, a totally non addictive prescription antihistamine, but also given for anxiety, when benzo'd aren't called for, or you don't want to go the benzo route.
It doesn't really cause sleepiness either, so for anxiety, it's given usually three times a day.
Your fear of the unknown, in this case wondering if you changed for good, and wondering if it's going to be lifelong, is contributing majorly to this.
Keep going! I had to and still do tell myself there wouldn't be stories on here of people with 6 months, and I had seen one three year, if it didn't get better. It does, or everyone would have given up.
Hugs

Can you go see an addiction specialist or psychiatrist? Lay it all out there and see what they say? Seems like it might be a good idea.
I think you are suffering from anxiety and panic attacks which happens after an opiate withdrawal. If it gets really bad, go back to the ER. I think you went before and you were prescribed clonodine which would have helped. Tell them you are too afraid to take it and maybe they will either prescribe something else or reassure you that the clonodine is okay to take.
During a panic attack, you do feel like you are going crazy or about to die. They are very scary. Try deep breathing slowly in through your nose and out through your mouth. I think I have told you this before but if not it really helps. I have had many, many panic attacks and they just come out of nowhere.
Hope this helps.
