What helps the sweating from Vics?

[paindruggie]

This is the worst w/d effect for me. The anxiety I can manage somewhat.....(never good enough) because I take Xanax for panic attacks....the damn sweating is so, so, so bad. This is day 1 of no vikes, when does the sweating subside?
I am ready to give in, i cannot take it.
The sweating is the worst part. I cannot get out of bed so therefore it looks like I wet the bed because I have so much sweating. Today it is going to be 90 degrees, should I leave the air off so my body gets the "sauna" effect or turn it on so I stop sweating. I cannot stand the sweating, i cant.  I took a Zanaflex 10 minutes ago hoping it would help the RLS....we will see.  Has the Zanaflex helped anyone else? There has to be something to stop it. Please help. I cannot do this alone, yet I have nobody. My family is the biggest bunch of uncaring a-holes on the planet.
As far as that goes does the amount of vics you take everyday and the duration of usage haven anyting to do with the severity of w/d and the length of time you have them? I was taking maybe 30-40mg vics a day for pain? Was not even abusing them....they were prescribed for pain....i have just decided i want to see if i can not take them.
So would my w/d be less severe or shorter vs someone who take a larger dose or combines meds?

I am sorry to say you just have to ride it out. Sweating is just part of it. I still sweat at night but I think it has something to do with the change of life. I put a towl on my pillow.
We used to kid around here about who was going to give who deodorant for any special occasion. I used to by 3 and 4 cans at a time lol. I can laugh about it now. I promise it will pass. Until then tons of showes,fans, and ac. Oh and lots of deodorant.

my doc offered me a medication to control that.. but i don't wanna take anything. but if you really can't stand it you could inquire about the medication to control the sweating

Hello, So i stopped taking suboxone a few days ago and the worst part for me is the RLS, It hurt sooo bad 2 days ago I cried and prayed in my bed... i was addicited 2 norco and vics and then found suboxone which i thought was a miricle drug but its been hell as well...I know  kind of how u feel, I mean i feel like theirs no one else but me going thru this and then i come on here and wow im not alone! I use a heating pad, I take Flexiril which is a muscle relaxer but at times it doesnt help! i did the whole bath thing but at times i cant sit still... someone told me 2 walk when i get like this and u know it actually helps...im thinking of you... im at work and cant wait to go home and relax!

Yes the w/d should be shorter, and you was taking a small amount compared to alot on here. But w,/ds are w/ds and they suk. I would crank up the air and put a fan on me if i were you, I can sweat in a blizzard but when im using or detoxing its even worse my bed would be soaked and my chair and my tee shirt and then becuz of the sweating you get dehydrated then get leg cramps from dehydration so drink lots of water and or gator aid. Good luck, and did i understand right you are bed fast?
