yeah sounds like anxiety.... fear of what you know is coming ....your mind is a very powerful thing try to relax its ok if you need to take longer brakes between jumps 7 days may work better for you ....
Hi~ I'm sure the mystery pills are out of your system now. It sounds to me like you have HIGH ANXIETY. You've worked yourself up. Try to calm down. Continue your taper.I hope it works. Get to some NA meetings,okay?
Keep posting and let us know how you are...

No I'm tapering with the real ones. The fakes are I don't know what. I only took 3 of those when I first got them just to see what they were.. Yeah I know... Stupid move. It just scared me so bad about what those fakes could have really been that I'm somehow thinking the withdrawal symptoms could really be that I'm dying from the fake pills. I'm really good at convincing myself of something so bad that I'll actually believe or feel it.
What ***** is that I don't have insurance or the extra $500 for a visit to the ER so a doctor can tell me how dumb I am for taking a pill bought online and how I need to get off the real painkillers...then send me home feeling no better than I was before I went in. If it gets worse I'll go see a dr.
HI what your feeling is the minor withdrawals and anxiety from tapering ..it can wake you up pritty quick....It sounds like your really sincere about quiting this time...let me tell you
in the end when it is all said and done it will be one of the best moves in you life...I had a long drown out taper off methadone it took 8 1/2 mo but I got 174 clean days now and it is so so worth the pain and withdrawals you suffer tapering down..I dont think there is a comfortable way to get off narcotics its a grind anyway you do it but by tapering down your final withdrawal wont be as sever ...tapering takes a lot of will power and perseverance some people can do it others cant ..hence is why so many go C/T..but it sounds like you have a plan...I tapered at 10% every 72hours and it worked well for me..its fast for methadone but we realy cant give advise on here about tapering any more in the open forum if you like p/m me and I will try to help you thew this difficult time ...good luck and God bless....Gnarly
I know alot of what you are saying is part of withdrawing, i know with me I do have hypertention so my bloodpressure did rise alot when I was withdrawaling with the hot and cold flashes. Now I have only been addicted for a year and now I am 9 months clean. I also read that buying them off the internet can be dangerous, Some people put dangerous things in them including rat poison and different drugs that are cheaper. Now most of my info I got off the internet when i was looking to buy them and it scared me so I didn't do it. Now as far as them being deadly, I am not sure but do know they can make you really sick, now if you go to ER even if no insurance they have to treat you and stablize you, they won't refuse you, they would probley do blood work and then could tell you what you have been taking. So hope this helps.
Yes. I had the rapid heart rate. No shortness of breath. If your arm is hurting and you are having these symptoms and feel something isn't right, you should be checked, in my opinion! You could just be having anxiety, but it is something that you would bet your life on? It could be something else.
I hope you feel better soon!
