Help ASAP

[Marlatt07]

I'm starting to feel the tremors and anxiety I thought I was starting to feel better but now I just don't know :( it's been 5 days now since my last hydro.

[Marlatt07]

I was able to eat a little supper tonight and thought I was getting better.
Are the symptoms supposed to come and go like this?!?

[Pat1956100]

Yes they come and go and unfortunately anxiety hits about this time.  I think you have a tendency towards anxiety anyway.  The clonodine should help you to relax.  Hopefully you did take it.
Just try and relax.  Do some deep breathing.  Breathe slowly in through your nose and out slowly through your mouth.  Believe it or not it really help.  
I know it's scary but you just have to understand that it's all part of withdrawal.  Not fun but we have to go through it.

[Marlatt07]

I haven't taken it because I thought I was getting better. I kept myself occupied all day doing actuvites like working on my friends honda for him (which I love to do) then had a BBQ and was able to eat a tiny bit.
But it seems the worst is at night when I have to sit at home. I'm worried about taking this clonidine I'm to nervous too...

[Marlatt07]

Sry my iPhone freaked out an posted to many times

[Marlatt07]

Are you there?
I need advice what should I do?!?!
Anyone??

[Pat1956100]

Haha, that's okay.  Well if you are too nervous to take it then don't.  I think it would relax you though and help take away the anxiety.  It is just a blood pressure pill and it also would help you sleep but it's up to you.
It was prescribed to you, right?
Just realize that you are experiencing anxiety and it will pass.  I know it's rough.  I suffer greatly with panic attacks and they are not fun.  They can make us think all sorts of things are going on.
You just need to stay calm right now.  Seriously try the slow breathing.  It will help.  I will be here for awhile so keep posting if you want to.

I'm just worried about taking a blood pressure medication when having heart palpitations.
I only have them when my body is over exhausted like it is now. I've only slept 2-3 hours in the past 2 days.
Am I supposed to feel out of place as I do?
:(
It's so hard I don't know what to do

[Marlatt07]

I made the mistake of reading the side effects and they scare the crap outta me.

[Pat1956100]

Yes that is exactly when I had mine.  When I was totally exhausted and couldn't sleep.  I would go over 40 hours without sleep and then start to freak out.  I don't think you should take the clonodine because I think you would start thinking you were having all the side effects even if you weren't.  Anxiety can do all sorts of things to our minds, especially when we are sleep deprived.  
I have never taken clonodine but lots of people on here have.  It usually works great for opiate withdrawals and I did wish I had some when I was going through it.  
Just try and relax right now.  Sleep will come but it is really hard to get especially the first week.

[Marlatt07]

But is t even possible for my body to withdrawal from these pills? I mean I only popped hydros for a couple months and smoked oc 30's for about a month and a half before I started taking hydros.
I just wanna know Forsure that I'm going through withdrawal. Because unlike most ppl on here I don't have the urge to take them ever. And I ne'er really did. I just liked to get high.
I never really thought I was addicted. Just to the high but I'm guessing that's what the addiction is?

[Marlatt07]

I'm never taking pain pills or smoking oc's again.

[Pat1956100]

Yes it is entirely possible that you are addicted to them.  It doesn't take that long for our body to become used to any drug.  Smoking oxy's can be highly addictive and the hydros just added to the addiction.  
You are over the worst of it now but you will have to deal with the anxiety, lack of energy and sleep issues for a little while longer.
Just continue to drink lot of fluids, eat healthy and get some exercise.
The exercise will make your body heal faster.  Take some vitamins too.

[Marlatt07]

I only weigh 130 pounds on a good day and I'm also a heavy medical marijuana smoker for the past 4 years I've smoked everyday. But I can't even stand to smoke like this. I know I abused oc's and I quit smoking them as soon as I got my hydro prescription. I did notice that I had to take more to get high as after I was all healed up I continued to take them for the high. I never thought these feelings would happen.
It ***** :'(
I feel like my brain don't think or work right
I've read alot of forums where ppl say smoking marijuana helps with WD but it just makes my anxiety 10 times worse.
Which makes no sense. I don't usually go more then an hour without hitting my bong my body is used to being high from marijuana but it just can't handle it. I feel like my whole body is changing and idk what it's becoming....I feel like a trapped soul in a lost body.

[Marlatt07]

Is this normal WD symptoms?

[Pat1956100]

Well that can be contributing to your anxiety and the way you are feeling. If you were smoking that much you are probably experiencing withdrawal from that as well.  It sounds like you may have some underlying issues that you need to deal with or maybe you will feel better after a good sleep.
If the anxiety keeps up you should see your doctor and perhaps get something prescribed that you are comfortable with.

I would not recommend smoking bud in withdrawal. It always seemed to make it worse for me. Almost like it magnified the anxiety/muscle pain/general fried feeling of withdrawing from opiates. And I was always a daily smoker, for several years (as well as heroin junkie), so its not like I was just freaking out after smokin some weed with no tolerance.

In my experience hydro withdrawals last about 10 days, peaking around day 4-5. Just ride it out if you can, your over the hump. This is completely normal withdrawal symptoms. But I would lay off the weed if you feel like it makes your withdrawals worse. I definately thought it made mine worse.

[Marlatt07]

I know I'm not WD from mj I can quit whenever I please and have a couple times for jobs like for a month at a time.
You're probably right it just my anxiety.
This is all just so new to me because I've never had these type of feelings before. I hate it.
I'm terribly sorry for being a pain I just hate feeling on edge like this!
I hate having a great day then turning into straight crud at night again.

Oh and for me it has always taken 3 days of daily opiate use, be it heroin or hydrocodone, and on the 4th day I will get minor withdrawals. 3 days was always the threshold for me. If youve been taking any kind of opiate every day for more than 2 or 3 weeks then I would say its 90% likely that you are suffering opiate withdrawals.

[Marlatt07]

Thankyou so much everybody. Ie had thoughts that I've been just dying. But I went to the er like I said yesterday and my lab results came back good and I even had them give me a head catscan because of how weird I've been feeling and the headaches. But all tests showed up good.

[voxxx]

As far as the MJ withdrawals go, I find that highly unlikely given your situation. When id go out of town for a few days after smokin bud daily for a few years the only withdrawal symptom I would get is maybe a little trouble sleeping (not full blown sleep deprivation like with opiate withdrawals) and a loss of appetite.

[Marlatt07]

Yeah I'm definitely fine without smokig mj. My friends keep telling me too but I don't want to. It just ***** cuz all of my friends do more worse drugs then me and have never had WD and I sart taking hydros cuz I got beat up an after two moths this happens. An they just dot understand how I feel. It's like I have no one to talk to about it because no one understands.

[Pat1956100]

No problem.  I totally understand anxiety and what it can do to you.  I am glad you went to the ER and got checked out.  It should relieve your mind.  I am pretty sure everything is anxiety related and the lack of sleep is just intensifying it.  That's how it always was for me.  That's probably why the prescribed the clonodine because they figured it would help with the anxiety and sleep.
Just hang in there and sleep when you can.  Do you have to work?

[Marlatt07]

No I'm currently unemployed and looking for a job. I feel as if it hits me more when I have to sit here at home all day where I'm usually high. But today I spent most of the day away from the house. Which made me feel a little better. But as soon as 10-11pm came and I was sitting at home I started freaking out.
Could it be because I'm to accustomed to being high where I live?

They probably never had withdrawal cause they never attempted to quit. I guess everyone is different but I would be willing to bet money that anyone who has been taking ANY opiate for more than 2 or 3 weeks will get withdrawal if they try to stop. It doesnt surprise me at all that your getting withdrawals after 2 months of use. It may not seem like very long to you but I had been doin dope for years and years, tried to quit many times, and as such became very acquainted with how long of daily use it took to cause withdrawals as well as how long I could go without opiates before I would start withdrawing if I was already physically dependant on them. Theres some leeway between different people, but not all THAT much. Its still the same class of drug, acting on the same receptors, having the same effects and whatnot.
