Withdrawal and anxiety???

me again...sorry
has anyone gone thru this who has had prior problems w/anxiety? I think that is why I loved the pills so much because all that went away.

Everything hurts...my hands feel tingly and I am envisioning walking into a stupid urgent care clinic to tell them my back hurts.
in utter anxious hell.

thanks penelope..me too. I know this will pass but it is horrible all the same.
I know I have a lot of work to do after this so that is scaring me also.
A friend who has done this before told me the best way to tell her docs not to prescribe this stuff for me anymore is to say I've entered into alco recovery (which I will be doing soon...but can't afford inpatient thus the opiate detox on my own) and that I can't take anything addictive.
That didn't do me a lot of good w/the ultram of course...2 years ago, but hell...Ibuprophen and naproxen are def not addictive and I will stick to those in the future.
wtf was I thinking that I could control percs and vike if I couldn't control that??!!
I feel so stupid.

                  I have had some issues with anxiety, geez, I,ve even had the fire department at my house once cause I thought I was having a heart attack at age 25! But this anxiety is different then what I call a full blown panic attacks, my panic attacks used to go away after 10 minutes or so, but this, this anxiety that I have thru withdrawals just keeps on coming around, it,s so hard to even talk to people cause it feels like I have something in my throat, my eyes twitch & I sweat alot, yep I know how ya feel, but I have no desire to use so thats a plus! I know my body is just doing what it needs to do to recover from this ugly drug, called methadone. Just hang in their! Penelope

are you thru withdrawal yet mommy527?
Did your anxiety get better if so?
There has to be more to life than trying to get pills.
I tried acupuncture last night. It seemed to help. I'll go again tommorrow.
Today is just utter hell tho.
