When do the sweats go away?

[Annmarie23]

I have been taking either oxycodone or hydrocodone for the last 3 years.  I've been through a couple surgeries and probably have a couple more to look forward to on my back.  I am with a pain clinic now who has tried to put me on morphine and opana and I won't take either one.  I'm taking norco right now.  I am severely addicted to them.  I got my script for 100 on Monday at 4 pm and they were gone by Wednesday at 4 pm. I'm due to refill in a couple weeks, I don't know if I should.  I haven't had any since wenesday and it's horrible.  I do this yo myself every month but usually just get them from someone else I know until I can refill.  I don't want to do that anymore.  How long will I be freezing cold and sweating?  I sleep (haha, kindof) with a stack of clean shirts and an extra clean blanket by the bed cause I sweat through everything.  I feel gross and I stink, I hate it!  J just want to feel normal again!  Please help!

you need to be away from the drugs does you hubby take pain killers as well ?

[Annmarie23]

I'm talking to my dad to try and work out a situation where I can stay with him instead of my mom so I'm not in such a toxic environment. He wants my husband to help though, cross your fingers for me that my husband will agree.  I love and miss him so much, I hope this works out!  I need him!

Hi~  Can you reach out to your husband and try to get him to talk with you?  It would be better if you were in your own home.   You really need to stay away from the drugs.
And you need help with that. Your doctor is a good resource for suggestions. Also,NA meetings are free. It wouldn't hurt to start going.  Addiction doesn't stop when you stop taking pills/drugs.  Addiction stops when your behavior changes along with your thoughts and routines. There are many options for help.  Please try so you can get your life back on track.   Many are suffering because of your addiction. Try to fix it,okay?
Keep posting~

I bet I know what you did cuz I'm sure I've done it and I won't post it either in case someone is looking for ways but I'm sure were on the same page.  Is your wife staying with you?  While my husband is not he does genuinely love me and wants me to get help and is helping in other ways, financially and with our children, etc. But it would be nice to lay my head in his lap right now, I miss him terribly.  I had to get up and go outside just now so my girls wouldn't see me cry.  Trying to keep this from them is challenging.

I know what you are going though,I am going though that right noe .we are (wife) is in the same boat like you and me.I know PUT THE PATCH BACK I ALMOST DIED FROM ONE OF THOSE I will not tell you what i did PUT THAT BACK NOW PLEASE got to go sick good luck keep on this site    My name is sickofit586

In my late teens, early twenties I had a speed/coke addiction and one day I just quit, I never had a relapse, I just quit and never looked back, but I swear this is so much harder!

[Annmarie23]

No, my stepfather is here too.  He works alot though and my mom doesn't.  My kids are also here with me.  Although they sometimes go to their dads. When they are home it is easy to stay occupied and keep my mind from wandering, it's when they are gone that is the most difficult.  It's a really bad place for me to be.  I'm not sure I've got other options though.  Only if my husband wants me to come home and help me but I doubt that.

[avisg]

Its not a good place for you to be .However if you have to be there and you really want to get clean you are going to have to help yourself let her know you can get into her meds .Is it just you and mom there ?

[Annmarie23]

I did put the patch back.  She does have lock boxes but they are super simple to open.  Nobody knows I can open them though.  I guess I should tell them.  It's just another betrayel that I have to fess up to and it's hard.  It's so easy to take stuff from my mom cuz she's always in a drugged state and most of the time she's passed out.  It's super easy just to walk in there and pop the lock on her box and take what I want.  She never knows, she just thinks she took it.  I hate being here.  

[vicki595]

Hey~  Put that patch back!  Do not take pills. Ask your Mother to hide them. Don't leave these doors open!!!
As Avisg said,get some help with this. You can't just white knuckle it!  You need help.
At least go to an NA meeting...it's free and there's soooo much suppot!!!

I want it to be the last time!!!  My life is falling apart.  My husband has left me and my in laws have given up on me.  I have stolen pills from both my husband and my mother in law, 50 at a time on at least 5 occasions and they are fed up.  I am now at my moms and am scared to death of being here cuz she is so much worse than me.  I get 120 norco per month and she gets 180 oxycodone per month plus a myriad of other drugs including the fentanyl patch.  I am sorry to say I've been taking her pills for a long time now.  She knows and forgives me cuz she is my mother and understands but my husband and mother in law just shut me out.  Not that I can blame them but I feel like they've deserted me in my worst hour of need.  My family has been torn apart because of me and I HAVE to fix it even if my husband doesn't want me back.  I feel horrible right now and it is so so so tempting to take some of my moms meds.  I took a patch from her yesterday but haven't opened it.  I'm just super scared and don't want to be this person anymore.  I need help.  I'm tired of being moody and mean when I don't have meds and on top of the world when I do.  These withdrawls are awful but if they will ho away soon then I'll take it, I want to be done.

Hi~ The drugs are almost out of your system now. You DID take a lot and your body is mad at you.  Just do all you can to be comfortable. This may go on for a few more days;decreasing in intensity.  Do you plan to stay off? I hope so...
Keep taking hot baths.Use Epsom salts in the bath,it helps pull toxins from your body.
Put your clothes in the dryer for 5 mins. to warm them up;including socks. This feels great...   Drink water all day,take vitamins and eat.
Good luck and keep posting. I hope this is the last time for you~
