I quit taking my opiates on the 23rd, and then talked to the doctor who ordered my weaning off process. I've really appreciated all the support I've received from this forum over the past couple of weeks or so. I'm still weaning off yet I'm still having withdrawal symptoms - sleep problems, pain in my entire body, nausea, headache today. None of the symptoms are unbearable, just annoying. My gut tells me that I am doing the right thing by following the doctor's order yet I just want to toss the garbage and move on. I am a grouch, barking at the family and such. I went shopping with the family today and wanted to stop since my knee's, for some reason, were bothering me. Of course, this did not go over well so I just went with the flow and kept my mouth closed. I wasn't being a grouchy person when I was going "cold turkey". Maybe it was because I was in too much pain to complain!!! LOL
