Is terrible headaches one of the withdrawal symtoms froms opiates? I bn reading and have read it is different for everyone. I have bn tkng opiate meds for chronic low bk pain for 4 yrs. I'm tired of the memory loss now! These are prescription meds, as bad nevertheless!

I hv bn trying to quit cold turkey this past week/week-end. Was able to go 3 days without, then felt bk pain creeping my bk so bad. On 2nd try, i went 2 days only. Now I'm trying the tapering off way. Yet, even though failed the cold turkey method, took the meds becuz i could not tolerate the debilitating, excruciating low bk pain. Bk pain is due to a low bk injury in the gym bk in 83. Tried everyhing recommended by the medical professional but to no avail, no pain relief! Have had 3 bk surgeries and still suffer with the low bk pain 24/7, most an 8-9. When i do anything which aggravates it, it zooms past 10 to a 20 or so. Can't function. 1st surgery in 04. I'm tired of always being, feeling tired! Tired of the cloud over my head. Tired of the fogginess in my mind! DONT WANT TO LOSE MY GOOD MIND!!!!!! The meds I'm trying to wheane myself off are morphine slow release 12hr tabs, percocet #10 for breakthrough pain 4 times a day as needed for pain. I feel so alone! Never bn through this b4! I'm currently trying to deal, cope with a# of symtoms I'm aware of by reading the threads. Very educational and sad sad sad! Me, I've lost everything i worked so hard to attain! Lost my house(home), family, friends, vehicles, investments, and mis-spent lots of cash. I hit bottom whn i found myself hvng to sleep in an alley, with no money. Just the clothes on and my bkpack! These meds are horrible. On top of chronic low bk pain! I failed to see the warning sign, the red flags! Now, i guess, all i can do is salvage what i can. Myself first and then get bk on the good track of life! Pls excuse any typos. My mind is not all there right now!

head aches(that horrible tugging feeling on the back of your head), nervousness, shaking, sweating, hot flashes, vomiting, fatigue, aches and pains all over the body, sleeplessness, all of them being signs of an opiate withdrawll.

After a period of time there is a nagging headache that starts showing up inbetween doses as they wear off..This is one of the early warning signs of physical dependency..Then we start taking more to surpress it,,then that amount stops being effective and we again start taking even more..Thats how the cycle started for me..And before I knew it, I was in the 300mg range daily to keep the wd's at bay..

Headaches are definitely a wd symptom of opiate use
