So let me start by saying, I am currently on day 3 of opiate withdrawal. You see... I can handle most of the symptoms fairly well, but.. There's this one symptom that sets me back, and it's called restless leg syndrome. Any time I try to relax, and especially when I try to sleep, I get this feeling in my legs and sometimes other parts of my body that is almost impossible to describe. It's downright hell. It's just this wiggly, wormy feeling and I just have to move.
I'm no stranger to opiate withdrawal. I've been here before and got through it.. And didn't touch a damn thing aside from cannabis for about two years. Then I don't even know how it happened, but I figured I could just take a couple pills, and have some fun, and just not become dependant again. Boy, was I wrong. I ended up having to go through withdrawal again. The first time I didn't sleep for almost two weeks... I know that sounds like an impossible, straight up exaggeration, although it's the absolutely honest truth. My second run in was easier. Probably due to a lesser time span of use.. And once again after a week or so of being sleepless, I told myself I'd never use again... HAH...
Now here I am once again.. On my third round of cold turkey withdrawal, at home, with no help from anyone to get me through this. I'll make it.... Because my will power is amazing.. And like I said.. I can handle most of the symptoms of opiate withdrawal.. It's just this sleepless bullshit that is killing me. It's so hard not to just grab something and say fuck it.. I wanna sleep.. But other than that I'm fine.
I guess I'm here to just vent... And I'm curious if any other share this restless leg shit symptom, and what they do to ease it, and get through it. If your reading, I want to thank you for taking the time, whether you've experienced opiate withdrawal, or not.. Just, thank you. It means a lot that you would take the time to read this..
I'm looking forward to any responses at all. It'll help immensely just to have someone to talk to.
Sincerely,
TwoThirtySeven
