OMG! well i finally went to a 3 to 5 day detox. i know 5 days isn't long enough but its all i could afford.  anyway I am detoxing off of the fentayl or duragesic patch and i was taking 150mcg. before that i was on oxycontin 60 mg 2x a day and 3 vicodin es every 4 hours 4 x a day. i took these medications for my painful disease which is called chronic interstitial cystis and vulvodynia, basicly pelvic pain syndrome. its hell, well i started seeing a pain specialist who could do these treatments to really help with my pain and im waiting on a pain pace maker!!!. people who live in pain try it.  anyway so i got this other procedure done that was simialr to it called radio frequency and it helped a lot and i didn't have to take the vicodin es for the breakthrough pain, but i was having constantly raise my pain med every 2 weeks, so i had to detox. let me tell you i went throught tourture hell! i went in wed morning to start detox and they gave me clonodine and tramadol. i couldn't offord the subuoxone b/c it was $375 DOLLARS. i was juse weak and tired the first 2 days but the 3rd day i felt like i had the flu and i felt like total hell. they told me oh the 3 rd day is the worse and then you'll getr better. i don't think so. the pain i had was constant throbbing and burning. it never stopped. i was moaning and screaming. i never slepted one bit since wed night and its tuesday. i took about 50 hoyt baths from friday to monday night. every night i had the damn restless arms and legs. i have the heartburn. i had to go see my doctor yesterday because i was in excruciating, tourture pain and couldn't take another day. she said she didn't understand why i was stilll like this ans offered to put me in the hospital or on subuoxone. i didn't want to the hospital and have people tell me what to do and all that. i went through that getting off xanax at the same rehab she wanted me to go to. so i said i would stick it out one more day and find some kind of money for the suboxone tommorow. well after last night of having diareah, throwing up, naseauted and in severe pain, jittery , restlesss legs and arms that was it! well i woke up today (tuesday) out of pain and just exusted and very weak. i passed out this morning going to the bathroom. i haven't eaten since wed. i am drinking my gatorade and something is seriously wrong with my taste buds , b/c everything tastes like ****. i want to know if anytone experienced detox like this and when willi feel normal? whne am i going to finally SLEEP?? etc???  thanks ya'll! anyone dtoxing i will pray for ya'll!

I'm in the middle of quitting Tramadol (ultram) right now. Been off of it for four days now. I can't sleep right. I nod off ONLY during the day and for short periods. This morning at around 2am it was 76 degrees in this house, and I was laying in bed listening to music. Then I noticed my shirt was soaked. So were my pajama pants. I was sweating like CRAZY. I have no idea why. I just got done taking a half hour long hot bath... and my pain seems to be slightly lower than usual. But I don't feel normal. Not at all. I'm praying for you Shell. And please keep this in mind: at this exact moment, I'm in the same boat as you. Hopefully that helps. Misery loves company, right? Or maybe it's just nice to know (for me) that I'm not the only one in the world going through this garbage this second.

Unfortunately, as Jacqui told you, sleep evades you during the w/d from Fenatnyl. Also as she mentioned, w/d from Fentanyl lasts for a long time. It is not like most of the opiates where within a few weeks you start getting back to normal.

thanks but i already had insomnia before the bad detox. i was taking 400mg of trazadone and i slept good with that. i had also tried ambian and ambian cr, sonata, benadryl, unisom , all stuff over the counter, lunesta, rozarom, seroquol, thorazine, just recently i went to the hospital  for the no sleep and being exusted. they gave me 10mg of valium and it did nothing and then another 10mg and nothing. i also found out i have severely low potassium levels and recieved magnesium from an i.v. for some reason the mag being pumped in my blood hurt like hell. i also had low grade fever and had some kind of infection. i had a lil bladder infection and that makes my i.c and vulvodynia severely bad in pain. they gave me a non narcotic to help with pain. basicly 800 motrin which i already had. SOMEONE OUT THERE HAS TO KNOW ABOUT SLEEP!!!!

Valerian root, melatonin, Tylenol PM can help with sleep sometimes. Take a brisk walk as far as you can go. Take magnesium and calcium at night to help relax the muscles.
