im hurting so bad right now on 45 hours of detox....i feel like im dying...i feel like im losing everything...i need help

[PromisedLand]

As others have mentioned, get to a doctor, or ER and see i f you can get some clonidine..a blood pressure med that seems to help tremendously with withdrawal symptoms..and something for anxiety..Klonipin or xanax, that will help you sleep and relax you.

We will never give up on you.So please hang in there..I know it's tough but you can do it..I am praying for you too as  well as many others..

In an earlier post you mentioned feeling like you wanted to just knock yourself out.I felt like that for a couple nights when I couldn't sleep.I just wanted to beat myself up until I passed out.It reminded me of the movie with Jim Carey,Liar-Liar when he beat himself up in the bathroom.I pictured myself with my head in the toilet and banging the lid about 100 times on my head.I got a little chuckle when I thought about it the nxt day.

Please hang in there.I too thought I would not be able to do it but I'm on day 13 and feeling so much better.I had my 1st good sleep last night and feel like a new person.You can do this.Hang in there and I'll say a prayer fpr you...Kat

Try soaking in the bath rather than in the shower, it helped me more than anything. PEACE BROTHER

Just checking on you , you've been in my thoughts all day I hope you have been able to find some sleep for a little while, and really glad you tried the hot showers as they really make a difference if not for a little while at least. You do not have to apologize for any thing I figured you were either sick or not feeling like talking. I'm glad you came back on keep posting as this will pass soon and you will start feeling the benefits. Still here for you Limbo

[hotmama83]

I'm hurting bad right now also.
I've been on Vicodin for the past 15 years, about 10-12 per day.
Believe it or not I have a doctor that prescribed this much. For headaches!

I'm so tired of living from one pill to the next.
I'm so tired of not caring about anything.
I cannot have fun without pills.

But right now I am hurting bad.

I feel like I am crawling out of my skin.
I even left work today and I NEVER do that.

How much longer will I feel so bad?

Everyone thinks I have the "flu". I've said that for 3 days now.

[Rose703]

How are you feeling now? Were you able to see your doctor? I hope this post finds you feeling better than you have been. Please continue to post and you can PM me if you need to!! Just remember YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!

[sortamental]

Did you get an appointment with a dr? Please don't be afraid to go. I've been thinking about you all day. All night last night too. ~hugs~

[hurtingbad475]

at the moment, i dont feel like i can make it. but i just tell myself that ive made it this far.  it doesnt really make it any easier, its a fight...what does work to motivate me is that i keep telling myself that if i continue to use pain meds, im going to lose everything in my life that i hold dear. ill lose my wife, my kids, my job, and who knows what else.  i dont want to get to that point.  

[confused456]

Glad you made it through the night and you can do this. You don't want to turn back now, the worst should be over. I will keep you in my prayers.

[hurtingbad475]

everyone...first thank you...i didnt think that i was going to get through the night.  i was literally dying, i was vomiting, having diarrhea, having horrible cramps, i couldnt sit still, i was constantly kicking my legs and tossing and turning, rocking back and forth.  i never did get to sleep, i finally just got up out of bed and tried exercising.  but i couldnt do that either because i was way too weak, (i havent eaten in more than 36 hours)  everything i drink ( i tried drinking ensure) just comes back up, im sorry that i didnt keep posting but it got to the point that i couldnt even see straight or focus long enough to type anything.  so i just went downstairs and paced back and forth, did jumping jacks, called my mom who stayed up all night praying for me, and got on my knees and prayed over and over again.  it didnt seem like any of it helped, but here i am, its morning, and now i have another day to get through.  i dont know how im going to do it, i cant even think of how hard its going to be today, i still cant keep my legs still, but ive found that hot showers work really well and keep me relaxed for about a half hour after i get out.  again, im sorry that i havent posted any more, i just couldnt stay in front of the computer any longer.  i need to make an appointment to see my dr today, i will call in a few minutes when his office opens.. thank you all for praying for me and for talking to me...please dont give up on me

[newgirl2708]

the last thing i did before i went to bed was post to you. 11 pm now i'm up at 5 am checking on you; these fine people were with you all night. they tried their level best to work with you. you didn't respond. it worries us. hopefully you got some sleep. if you want our help you have to post and keep us updated. i see all their hard work but you don't respond. like our friend toxic says 'work it and it will work for you' or something like that. (sorry toxic)we cant do it all. you have to talk back to us. get to the dr today. please let us know how you're doing.

I hope you were able to relax and get some rest.  This is not an easy road for anyone and I think it is awesome that you let your wife know what is going on, that is a very difficult thing to do, being honest with those around us that love us.  Keep us posted.

[feohmoon]

What method of ingesting do you use?  I ask because it makes a huge difference when wd.  The worst my fiance and I ever felt was coming off of massive amounts of morphine and K4's...injecting.
You are on day 3 now and should have some relief soon.  So sorry you are having to endure this but hang in there...it gets so much better.
All of the feelings you are having is normal...continue posting and best of luck.
Hang in there, you have just about got it.
Peace
Have you read some natural remedies here?  Check out my journal...it will help.

[hotmama83]

[10356]

[10356]

[10356]

I myself have been following this forum for a few months now and trying to convince myself to get off the pain med completely and just deal with the pain, about 4 weeks ago I made it 3 days and got scared and been making excuses ever since I look up to what you are going thru. You may not realize it but you are helping me

[10356]
