Fentynal

[rottenfeeling]

When will the rotten feeling go away from the Fentyanl it's been 3wks. since my Dr. finally weened me off and from reading other peoples messages from different websites they are saying that when they were weened off it took a week or two. Will this ever end or do i have to see an addiction specialist? Please help me. I have also wierd thoughts like harming myself and thats not me. Also the intense dreams i have. I've been diagnosed with cronic bp with ptsd. I had to take clonidine to keep my bp down after coming off of it as well. i'm currently taking neurontin,and oxycodone 10mg every 8hrs which i think is a joke concidering i weigh285 and am 6'4. Just sick and tired of being sick. All this started with degenerative disc disease and the narrowing of the spinal cord opening with artheritis i am fused at the l5-s1 and c3 to t1.

When you take opiates for a long time like you have, your body's physiology has been altered. Your central nervous system has created a multitude of opioid receptors that all are screaming for endorphins (opiates) to fill them, but your body has now forgotten how to make them by itself.  It will take time - two to four weeks at least, for your receptors to downregulate (for the brain begin to heal) and to start making its own endorphins. Brain heals pretty slowly, so it may take you as long as a couple of months to get rid of feelings of sluggishness, restlessness and depression. The best thing you can do is take good care of yourself, eat healthy food, stay hydrated, keep active and busy. Stay away from sugar, soda, and simple carbs. Do not consume caffeine at least 6 hours prior to bedtime.
Take a look at my blogs about options for detox and recovery. You may also take a look at my clinic website where I also have my blogs and a lot of other info about drug addiction and recovery. Look especially into the blog and the info on Naltrexone therapy after getting clean. It really improves your chances of staying clean for good by cutting down your physical cravings. Look into my clinic website as well. All this can be done by clicking on my name in blue.
