I've been clean off vicodin for almost 2 weeks now. I've been using opiates on a daily basis for 2 years at least. I've had my fun with Oxy, but Vics have always been readily available to me one way or another, so that became my opiate of choice. I've never attempted to stop using before, I never really believed I had a problem. How could I? 23 years old, a MA student with a 3.9 GPA . . . I guess everyone with this problem could say the same thing. A mother of 3, a highschool student, a grown man running his own business--none of us fit the mold of an "addict." Unfortunately though, we are, and now here is my point: 2 weeks after my quit date, and I am still experiencing semi-severe physical symptoms. The most irritating one being that I'm plagued by the feeling that a colony of insects have taken up a sub-dermal residence all throughout my arms and legs. Do you know what I mean? My skin just feels creepy-crawly . . . and cold, so cold all the time. I found on opiates my body temp was always at a very comfortable level, I have always had a problem with staying warm, probably because I am so thin and still struggle with a semi-severe eating disorder (another little look into my life, while I'm in the spirit of sharing . . .), and so the opiate use made me feel all warm and content. Now I am always cold, shaking, freezing. I can't get comfortable. Is this unusual? Any help out there?
