My boyfriend has been wd from subs for about 72 hours now I have been trying to be the biggest help but there isn't much I can do besides comfort him . His legs are in pain he hot one minute then cold the next . And worst of all he barrely gets any sleep !!! Benadryl has not worked, and all ibprofen does is make it worse. I've been debaiting on wether or not I should give him a little bit of a sub but I'm not sure if it will make him relapse.... Ive Googled things on what to do or what will help and I've seen these website's are very helpful . If anyone out there can help me out espesally with the sleeping problem it would be great ! Thanks
A LONG WHILE BACK I WAS TAKING 20+ PERKS, LORATABS ,WHATEVER I COULD GET MY HANDS ON AND THE FIRST 72 HOURS ARE REALLY HARD BUT EACH DAY GETS A LITTLE EASIER AND EACH DAY ENERGY LEVELS RISE VERY SLOWLY.BY DAY 14 -15 I FELT BETTER THAN EVER BUT THE PROBLEM ALWAYS WAS I WOULD RELAPSE THE NEXT BATCH OF PILLS THAT CAME AROUND I COULDNT RESIST.THATS WHAT ENDED ME UP IN A METHADONE CLINIC AND PLEASE!!!!!DO NOT TRY THAT ITS NOT WORTH THE MONEY ,TIME, NOR HASSLE AND AT THE END YOUR GOING TO HAVE WORSE WITHDRAWALS>
Hang in there your not alone I have been wd for 9 days now. The days are not as bad as the nights for me have not sleep but a 1 hour tonight. It will get better I know because I have done this before 5 years ago was clean for 3 been on oxy for 2 years now.
Hi! I'm sorry you are going through this, but I just want to encourage you to hang on! You will feel better in a couple of days. Do you have any imodium and nyquil? If you do, take some now. Also, get in a hot bath. As hot as you can stand. It will help the jumpy feeling. That is probably RLS. There are things you can get tomorrow OTC that will help you through this! Advil, epsom salt for baths, mag/cal supplement for RLS and WD symptoms, Hyland's Restful Legs and Leg Cramps and a heating pad.
Those things really do help! Good luck to you!
