Chills

Help if you can.  Detoxed a week ago from oxycodone 30mg hcl 2 tabs a day. This morning have chills.  Is this normal?  Am I still withdrawing from oxy even though I detoxed last weekend?

Thanks for the support vicki.  It's been a hard road.  At least I made the right detour to a better life.  I hope it passes soon!!  Have a good weekend.  Thank you!

Yes,I think it's related to all of it. The methadone,as well.  

You're probably not sleeping very well and that contributes a lot!

Be sure you're drinking OJ for the potassium. That will help your legs. Also,a cal/mag
supplement. Get some Hylands Restfull Legs at Walgreens. You can take 4 at a time. It helps the RLS. Hot baths,too!   Get the Melatonin for sleep.

Get comfortable,hang out here...this should pass soon!

Oh vicki, you're on.  Thank god.  The chills happened yesterday morning too.  As I said, I had only taken the one 1/2 dose if suboxone wed at 5:30.  I can't believe this could still be the oxy coming out.  Are they "phatom chills".  Another words because my brain was used to taking my dose of oxy in the morning, my brain is looking for it?  I was able to eat last night.  Drinking as much as I can.  Muscle spasms in legs yesterday and today.  No fever.  Hosptial er checked me out yesterday because of the heart palpatations which they said were anxiety.  They said it was all related to coming off the oxy.

There could be something else going on. Any other symptoms? Fever? Aches?

The oxy is out of your system now. It could be lingering withdrawal...it's hard to say.
Are you drinking enough?
