Opiate withdrawal????

[rtal394]

What the heck is wrong with me?  I have been on percocet and vicodin for only 2 months.  I was on percocet for a month (7.5-30mg oxy/day varied), the vicodin for 2 weeks (5 mg.  went through 50 in 2 weeks), then percocet for another month 2-7.5 tabs a day.  Went to 1 pill for 2 days last week, then stopped Monday.  Diarrhea ever since.  Highs and lows.  Sometimes I am on the verge of tears for no reason.  Last Thursday I took 1 just to feel a little better because I had an explosive outburst of tears.  I still feel like **** 1 week later.  Is this normal?  After 2 months of use, wouldn't I be better in a couple days?  This sucks.  I feel hopeless and have no ambition.  My nights of sleep suck too.

Ive been and opiate addicted for five years know. up to 100mg of oxy a day. the best thing i found to fall asleep is earplugs, and some soft music. during withdrawels any odd sound can wake u, thuse the earplugs. Opiate addiction thins ur blood dramatically causing restlest leg, and the feeling of a cold dead body, thuse the music stimulates the brain and heart bringing ur blood rate to a more stable level allowing comfort.

You are posting on an oldish thread and you may not get many replies.  Go up to the top of this page to the orange ask a question button and repost.  That will start a NEW thread.  I am going to message one of the members who has lots of experience with methadone and hopefully he can help.  He is on early mornings.  Glad you found this site, it has helped me so much.

I too have chronic pain and was put on vicodin and then oxycontin.  These are bad medicines because of tolerance.  My  pain doc who is a great man transferred me to Fentynal patches with Immediate release morphine for breakthrough pain.  Another good long-term drug is methadone.

I have been a daily vicodion user for 4 yrs up to 30-40 pills a day. I have tried stopping a few times on my own and just could not handle the withdrawl. I am on day 9 and I feel at my worst. Im 32 yrs old and a single mother of 3. I just dont know what to do anymore, Im tired all the time, very moody hot cold sweats and my leggs hurt so much that nothing seems to help. I am on ativan which helps me when I am very upset. I take seroquel at night so that helps with the sleep. Its during the day for me. I sometimes think i was better off when i was on it atleast the house was cleaned and was on top of everything. and im not edgy with the kids. Everyone irritates the heck out of me. Please help someone before I decide to throw all this away and just go back to
