thats just not normal shaking like that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   im srry but this sounds like a brain issue..this man needs medical  treatment asap..call the doc and tell hm he might say take him to local e.r......ive withdraw from high doses of methadone shook but not the way ur describing it,,,,  if its a shake...not to bad  IF ITS A JERKY SHAKE BACK AND FOURTH  GET  HELP...THESE WITHDRAWALS CAN LAST UP TO YEARS THEY SAY THEY DONT BUT IN THE BRAIN IS A TOTAL DIFF  STORY...another  thing to look at are the eyes  if they are rolling in any direction only on there own or the pupils are very dilated take a flashlight and shine into ther eyes and see if they constrict...if so then thats ok...if keeps this up its abnormal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if you are you could be in danger of seizure activty in the brain or a stroke...you will shake but not the whole body..unleess you are withdraljing from a benzo then yes your whole body will shake and the inside and out..

GET CHECKED OUT..

its not me itsmy fiance. he quit oxycontin about 5 weeks ago. he was first put on suboxone was on that for about a week and then switched to methadone---all done under care of doctors. i know the jerky movements are from withdrawl i always saw them when he was using but these are like full body would almost think seizure like movements---scares me and him. i personally think it is just the chemicals in his brain getting back to normal but am not positive. he was taking i'd say 300mg of oxycontin daily snorting them. thanks for the help.

how far into the process r u?  like 24 hrs  48 hrs?  and what was u daily dose?  was it oxycontine///did u chew or snort???  lemme know and i may can help..but we r all different...no one will experience the same exact detox

dopamine is a a hault in ur brains production cos u tool it away..brain has gotta catch up...ur twitches, jerky movements etc are caused by an abrupt lowering of the dopamine level...have u never noticed how a parkinson patient jerks and twitches?   the hallmark of that disease is low..til no...dopamine production...ours will replenish tho as the brain heals..good article in the health pages on rls
