oxy withdrawal

[steve]

Man am I tired of this! It's been 8 weeks now, since I have used any narcotics. I still feel like **** everyday. I try to exercise and it just makes everything hurt more. I jog and just get more tired, unlike before you gain endurance, not now.

Everyday is just like I'm exhausted, still have sweats occasionally, always tired, heart papitations, joints and muscles hurt all the time.  Has anyone had symtoms this long.

I saw an addiction doctor and he didn't know what he was talking about. He said my withdrawals would end after the first 5 days. Yea maybe the first time I did this. I'm alot better than the first four weeks , but God this is taking so long. I need to get back to life.

LOL I was thinking the same thing wondering where are some of these posters now.
I guess they never auto-delete on this forum. I wonder what the oldest ongoing thread is maybe under President Regan time!

pooroldnurseBAC, I think you should report your adjustment problems to your physician STAT. Sounds like you have quite a lot going on.

I am a 60 y/o retired /disabled nurse who has been on narcotic pain meds for three plus years .Apx. 2 months ago I moved up to oxcytin 20mg two tabs every 12 hours ,with my drs. guidance of course .I am having many other health problems (sarcoid,rhabdo,myositis) and most recently SOB,chest pain ,low energy,heart palpations ,lower leg pain .My big problem when I started this stuff  was/is chronic severe neck pain .At this point It doesn't feel like a reasonable trade off.I am misreable and today switched from oxycontin 20 mg .ER (2) twice a day to morphine sulphate 15mg.2 tabs 3 times a day .The side effects/symptoms listed with OC seem to be real close to what I am going through .Pain is a powerful motivator ,coming and going !Does any of this make sense?poor old nurse BAC
