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.

I had hoped you were on the mend when I read you weren't feeling too bad.  But you're nearly there.  No sleep is a killer (as is dehydration!)  Keep the fluids going and dominosarah is right!  Warm coke ... my mom used to give me that.  I forgot about it.  Not sure if you tried the Alteril but if you haven't give it a shot.  There's also something called Calms Forte by Hylands.  It's usually in the same area as the Alteril and other sleep aids.  That helps with sleep but also anxiety.

Being tired makes it so much worse.  Please do not make the mistake of taking Benadryl or Nyquil.  I know it works for some people but when I tried it had the opposite effect and gave me horrible restless leg syndrome.  It sucked!!!  I would go buy a natural remedy, I know you tried something but you never know.  Take it, take a hot bath, drink some herbal tea and try to tune out the world.  Good luck and you are doing great!

Hey guys, just checking in.  My whole body aches. Im wishing for sleep more than anything.  I managed to pass out for an hour but then woke up restless again, still tired as anything.  I have this snowball effect where I'll start showing a withdrawl symptom, then I'll start panicking and my BP and pulse go up, then my breathing gets heavy, and I just pray to stop feeling this way but it's impossible to calm myself down.  Can't believe this is only day 3 of what feels like a week.  Maybe cuz I've been awake for the amount of time in 3 days that a normal person has in close to a week, heh.  Anyway trying to hang in. Never again, never again, never again.

Warm coke helps an upset tummy.  Try eating some crackers, just keep it really bland.  Get up and move around as the more you do that the better you will feel.  Try taking a short walk.  This part is only temporary but it does suk.  Keep us updated on how you are doing~~sara

Same thing happened to me a few years ago when i forgot all my meds when I went up north....omg, I was so sick throwing up, ended up at the hospital, they didnt believe i had a prescription so had to call my doctor, yadda yadda ....It was the worst feeling a person can go through so I applaud you for making it.......way to go.....Right now, I'm going on a reduction plan with my doctor instead of cold turkey as they are still trying to find the right non-narcotic to manage my pain.  The other thing is my blood pressure goes crazy when I'm having problems so they monitor that......make sure you get your checked soon.....
I like your name "Jmoney" is that kind of like young money....you are young, and you have so much to be proud of!  We are all routing for you!!!
