Depends on how much you abuse and the way you abuse it but most symptoms are the same as flu/cold like symptoms and can be pretty bad for a few days including vomiting/upset stomach/diarhea/cold sweats/cold chills/restless legs/runny nose/aches an pains. Think they might come in that order too "The Sickness" has been my biggest crutch to lean on for my excuse to go back to opiates, for the longest time I always thought it would just be easier to get a fix and prolong it than just go through the sickness for a couple weeks, but its been two weeks now so try try again :cheers2:
I've been having the upset stomach/diahhrea (sorry for the mental image, guys), chills/shakiness, and my legs have been especially achey. It's getting a bit better though.
Well I've been trying to quit for about a yr and went on suboxone for 7mo but I would still abuse opiates from time to time but not near as much would even go a mo. or so without other opiates. But I wasn't doing myself any good cuz when I would be outta subs I would use. Woulda never run out but I wanted that "rush" every now an again. So I've basically been off of oxycodonefor the past two mo. I relapsed for three days of that on roxy's but not near as much as I was doing, was averaging 80mgs of oxy a day Anyways besides the last relapse I've taken a few hydro's here and there but it's been a full two weeks now, it gets better. The suckiest part is not being a part of that "social" scene b/c once you've lived it for as long as I did it was hard not to talk to those ppl, whom I've known for a long time. Something I have noticed though is that if I use any opiate for longer than a day I will get sick now, so thats motivation right there, hope you get better :cheers2:
I totally understand. I LIVE with my enabler. My sister tries to get me to lay out for us to share some oxy and she never pays me back. Or she'll make these elaborate deals with me and out of desperation I always take them. Anyway, it's hard, really hard to keep turning her down. She's also withdrawling and she doesn't leave me alone. It sucks because I can't get rid of her. Glad for your motivation And thank you, it's getting better each day.
I used to take a fairly weak type of sleep med called Hydroxyzine (Benadryl) that didn't work very well. But if I took 2 or 3 I would get that "restless legs" feeling throughout my body for 5-6 hours. Man, did that suck. You have this wormy, freaky energy in your nerves, and you try to stretch it out, but you can't.
Gah, I'm so craving some right now. And I could, I have money and a connect. But if it becomes unavailable again, I'm going to be so miserable. Again.
I know how you feel. My brother and I have been living with eachother for quite some time. While we were living together about a year ago is when we were both using. We worked as a team, and fortunately we never had problems with paying eachother back. After a while, things got real stressful though. I felt like i couldnt get rid of him either, and the reason he came to live with me was to give my parents some space in their retirement years. We both ended up going through withdrawals together numerous times, money problems, and lots of other shit. Since going through all of that and getting what i consider to be clean (Methadone), our relationship is even better. If you guys tough it out together, things WILL get better.
It seems drug use in the family is pretty bad... And I agree about it getting better if we tough it out together, the thing is I'M the only one toughing it out. She went through withdrawals with every intention of getting more when they were available again. While I planned on quitting after deciding I didn't want to go through WD again. It sucks because she has a baby and she's not putting him first And she's stressing me all the time for money, then calls me stingy when she KNOWS I have a very limited amount of money but then she blows her whole unemployment check on useless shit and pills she doesn't even share with me. One main reason I'm quitting is so I don't neglect the child she's leaving me with all the time.
Im sorry to hear that your sis has put you in that situation. Its extremely admirable that your wanting to get better for HER baby, on top of wanting to get better for yourself. Just keep doing your thing. Worry about yourself right now cause it sounds like your doing pretty good. Sounds like she doesnt care about getting better, so shes definately not a positive influence. You can do it!!
I just ate 10kpins and feel great, know this is the 'OPIATE LOUNGE but there is no benzo lounge so......:d
I would recommend this for you if you can get some la princess, benzo's help with the anxiety from using, restless legs and can also help you sleep
im sure many people have had their significant other be an addict just as they are. And its a weird situation. Cause I am totally in love with her. But. We fight all the time. Over stupid shit.(happened before we were addicts). But the problem now is. It would be like impossible to break up with her because without me should wouldnt be able to do anything and I dont know what the consequences of that could be. Whatever I love her so I dont want to break up with her just everytime we fight I feel like I want to and then we make up and its amazing and then fight. vicious cycle. dysfunctional to the fullest. she just needs to mature a little. hopefully she will sooner than later.
