atlian8 said:i know... just wishin there was a way outside of any drug... lol... some miracle fix. eat massive amounts of turkey and it'll subside. ive really been tryin to taper down to nothing. I know everyone says its near impossible but i really feel like i have the self-control. I cant take the bad stuff this time. and on topic... lemme try my hand...
i goto sleep... wake up and its been 8- 10 hours... your mind starts to wonder....how long has it been....whens it gonna start.. am i ready for this? cause im dry....and im keepin it that way.
12 hours. almost on the dot for me. BAM. i walk into the bathroom..feelin like my energy is starting to drain. take a shower.... dreading gettin out.
As i dry off i start to feel...clammy. oh god here we go. its like i cant get dry enough. as the hours pass my skin starts to feel clammy....sweaty... rubbery.
check my phone. phones cut off. Maybe itll suddenly come on? maybe someone could just give me a bag. one bag. NO. not this time. i lay back down....somehow i dose off to sleep. i wake up... and here it is.
18 hours and i feel like i cant stand to walk out side. dont wanna be nauseus. try to eat somethin....drink some water... waste away. get in bed. Tylenol PM... please god let me just sleep til tomorrow. toss. turn. over. flip the pillow. bathroom. sweat. (i look at the clock...its been 45 minutes. if this is a movie... i hope someone up there is gettin a kick out of this torture..
Virtuoso said:Tramadol is a great drug substitute as it is easy to taper down from and it actually take care of most of the withdrawal symptoms.
that was free advice... and all the years the us gov't has been fighting the war on drugs... all they had to get to me to not try hard opiates at least was direct me to this cat.ayoOC80 said:i guess ill give my input.
opiate withdrawal is probably one of the worst experiences of my life at its worst. imagine feeling like you can move, even know you know it hurts so much, but you dont have the energy to do anything. every joint in your body aches like hell at all times. you sweat so much, but still have the chills like you were freezing cold. you're stomach is killing you, dont even think about eating, you vomit all the time. you're eyes are constantly watering up, and you're sneezing 24/7. oh yeah, and everytime you sneeze, you shit yourself. sitting on the toilet for hours at a time, shitting out everything in you, like pissing out your asshole, and puking in the tub next to you. your legs just cant stay still, you just cant get comfortable. sleep? so tired and lethargic, but you cant sleep because you can never get your legs in the right posistion. this isnt even getting into the mental aspect. you feel like you will never feel normal again, even after the physical systems are gone.
it goes on and on... there are so many things that are part of it. for anyone out there who is considering using opiates that hasnt started already, consider what it can turn into so easily in what seems like the blink of an eye. opiate addiction is not something that you wan't to try and see what its like.
as far as the horniness, im with you. its such a contrast, from no sexual interest, to out of no where needing sex/masturbation. to be honest, ive jerked it in the bathroom at work, lol.
im on suboxone now, 4mg a day, gonna try and drop to 2mg soon. but im still tempted to use occasionally now, and have slipped up twice. hopefully someday it wont be like this. but for the time being, it is. and i cant really complain about my life overall
eon_blue said:The "rush" from opiates is a rush of endorphins flooding your system making you feel...well...incredible. Since endorphins also act to kill pain, it can only be expected that if you were to stop regularly stimulating your endorphins, you're going to feel pain. Hence opiate withdrawal.
