It was the worst expierence of my life. I dont think the average person understands how much mental angish, torture, painful withdrawing from opiates/opiods can be.
Effects very on intensity and duration depending on your habbit and DOC.
I generally get very anxious. Almost like your flight or fight hormone is putting out 24/7. Your heart pounds nonstop like you ran a 100 yard dash, your eyes are wide open like your tweaking out. You have zero energy(your arm feels like it weighs 10lbs), but dont expect sleep rgardless of how tired you are. You will most likely be up straight for 2-3days. While your up around the clock everytime you try and get comfortable you start twitching non stop for hours...arms, legs. Your freezing cold for like ten minutes then in a matter of seconds your burning up. You will have massive dirrohea to the point if your not within 20 feet of a toliet you will most probably at some point defacate on yourself. You will also puke repeadtly regardless of if you have had any food and with such intensity you will defacate at the same time. Forget about being hungry for about a week. After about 6-7 days most of it is over but lingering effects last for weeks. No sleep, depression, restless limbs, zero motivation, nothing brings joy or happiness.
If I had a choice to get kicked in the nuts every 5 mins around the clock for 48 hours or withdraw, Id HONESTLY give GREAT consideration to that option. Nothing in my life rgardless of broken bones, tonsils taken out, falling off a pole from 30 feet, 2nd, 3rd degree purns, loss of a loved one will ever compare to a very nast case of withdrawals. If knew then what I know now I would had never started doing them daily, ignorance on my part.
Opiates/opiods are essential medicines, recreational substances they have their right place in society. I am of the school of thought they should be legal OTC, even after going through what I have. I just think their should be great education in regards to their effects, strength, and withdrawals if taken repeatly over weeks.
You might same...just 3-7 days... during those 3-7 days hours become days..minutes become hours, secs become minutes. It will crush your soul and spirit.
