Throwing up from withdrawls?

[Jmoney84]

Hi all,

So for the last 6 months I have been taking percocet 5/325for pain.  When I started on them 2-3 would get me through a day easily.  Up until yesterday I was taking up to 10-12 a day as 2-3 was really only useful for a few hours tops.  I guess today is day 2 of being off the percs.. but last night I was throwing up and crapping constantly and that would have been less than 12 hours since my last dosage..  Just wondering what the stages of withdrawl are and if the worst of it has passed or is still to come.  My whole body hurts and I have the shakes and cold sweats, as well as a weird heavy feeling in my head that I can't describe... just feels cloudy.  Any help is appreciated.

Morning everyone.. day 4 now and I actually slept last night.  I feel 100x better than the last few days.  My body cramps are beginning to subside, the cloudiness in my head has cleared, and best of all no anxiety.  It was so nice to finally get some sleep.. I slept more last night than I have since sunday.  Today seems like it's going to be a good day.  Little tightness in my chest still but I'm sure it will pass too.  Hope everyone is doing well this morning.  Oh I actually feel  a bit hungry too for the first time in.... a long time.  Gonna make something small to eat :D

HI HOpe your stomach issues have let up right now its really important not to become dehydrated so if things are still tuff to hold down try some ginger ale warm just sip off the bottle about 1 shot every 15 min (1oz) should be a minimum pick up some gatoraid its got electrolytes in it and just keep a jug open and keep sipping off it dehydration will get you really sick and with what you got going on its ez to get keep posting for support congrats on your clean time good luck and God bless.......Gnarly

Jmoney84...I am so sorry you have had it this bad.  I feel very lucky and more than a little guilty.  Get thee to the store for Immodium,,  Opiate trots suck.

lol thanks guys, or girls i suppose I should say =P   meh, like i said blondegurrl my addiction is purely physical.  i knew i was gonna have to detox one day or another so i might as well get it over with sooner rather than later.  i just want to feel normal.  hmm maybe tomorrow i will look into getting some immodium and melatonin.. i hear that suggested quite a bit.  the valerian root i tried didnt do much if anything for me, i got no sleep.  and yeah.. all im looking for is to feel normal, not high.  thats how my dependency on the oxy happened.  didnt want to feel drowsy/in pain at work or around loved ones.  now looking back i see drawing this out and upping my dosage on my own (justifiably but still) ive hurt the very people i was trying to protect.  this whole experience has really opened my eyes that im not immune or above everything like i sometimes think i am.  im thankful for this in a way that it has given me a more realistic perspective... that im only human... no better or worse than anyone else.  have you been totally clean since 2002 blondegurl? good for you, I hope I will look back a few years or even months from now and remember what i got myself into, and out of.  you're all amazing.

Ugh..  I don't know how you managed to hang on to 20 pills while you're in w/d... I would've caved and taken all 20 when I saw/felt the first goose bump pop out of my skin.

There's nothing really you CAN do to keep yourself comfortable besides getting a hot bath to ease cramps, warm yourself up and wash off the yuck coming out of your pores... Immodium will help with your tummy troubles and may ease up the cramping.. The active ingredient in Immodium actually binds to the opiate receptors in your brain (no high though.. sorry lol)
Make sure you drink a ton of gatorade... if you're dehydrated then you'll feel 10000 time worse. Gahhh it's amazing how I can read these posts and immediately have  flash back of being in the same situation.. even though I've kicked my habit in 2002... w/d is something you never forget...

You're doing all the right things it seems!  So tomorrow should be better.  Hope you get SOME sleep.  Good job on all those fluids!
