Opioids is this a withdrawal?

[J.D.]

yup wd it is. bit of advice since u didn't know if u had some wd there. stop using opiates!! Soon ur wds will be so bad u wont need to go on the net and ask lol

Hahahahah! Well said. A two-week bender/withdrawal should have given you a taste of what might be down the road if you keep this up. It will only get exponentially worse....both the addiction and the withdrawals.

*addition: The craving and withdrawals have not worked to deter my IV heroin use - I guess that makes my response a "do as I say, not as I do." I know there are several success stories here on Bluelight, I wish I were one.

I don't see the "do as i say, not as i do"...
i just see a warning from experience..

good luck to both of you.

hey all today i went to the gym and did some intense workouts. aside from having to bomb the toilet in the locker room halfway through my workout i was fine. im just a little bit more sore than i usually am and just feel exhausted. i from 11-4 today and blew up the bathroom there once. went to the beach with a couple coworkers and just felt good being in the sun and playing in the water. even saw some chicks eying me and my friends and they kept talking shit telling me to go talk shit to them. but my fear of rejection, and intimacy, and girls just gets the best of me and they made me feel like an ass. kind of craving some of the fake happiness but i dont want to get some more yet. i want to wait at least 2 or 3 weeks and then keep use down to once a week or every other week just so this shit doesn't happen

Welcome to BL. BTW, "Sludge Factory" is one of my favorite AiC songs, especially the Unplugged version. Anyway, you are experiencing mild withdraw. Body pains, hot/cold flashes, hideous sweating, etc. are all common symptoms of w/d. The worst thing for me is the sweating, I HATE waking up half a dozen times a night to change clothes, sheets, the comforter, etc. You didnt say what drug you were using or for how long, but from what you describe your w/d is relatively mild.

eta: 70mg of hydrocodone is not a lot of opiates, but it IS a lot of Tylenol. I hope you were using the Vicodin HPs, they have the most hydrocodone to APAP ratio of any hydro formulation that Im aware of. If you've been doing these for any amount of time, it would be prudent to get your liver checked.

I agree with everything but the diphenhydramine, in opiate wd's it makes my legs so restless they actually hurt. Its so bad that i would rather suffer the insomnia.

Yeah I get restless legs on sedating antihistamines, even if I'm not WDing. Weird.

 

[sludgefactory101]

yea they were 10-325. my liver shouldn't be too bad seeing as alcoholics can binge for such a long time without having liver problems

Besides what's been said take plenty of hot showers/baths. Also masturbation will give you 1-2 minutes of relief upon climax as your body releases endorphins. IDK about anyone else but I masturbate plenty when im w/ding from opiates.

Mass, THANK YOU. I went through wd's myself from going from 150mg oxycodone ir per day to nothing. It was pure torture. I've been through all the other symptoms before both physical and emotional ...but the night I woke myself masturbating really had me thinking I had really lost it lol. It's funny now, but at the time it was scary. I mean, it wasn't enjoyable at all, except for when I orgasmed. Even that was forced (all 15 times in a row I did it It was so strange, I am a female and it usually takes a little while, with sex too...
This was insane, as soon as I touched down there I would have this shitty, half ass climax. And I COULD NOT STOP. It got to the point after awhile Id find myself climaxing without doing anything. Very disturbing. Wasn't excited in the least either.
But, I got my script and am good now.
Just wanted to say thank you for helping me realize I'm not insane...at least not bc of that

yay! another woman!
this is so common...it really is..
and beyond your body releasing toxins that it needs to ..
and, of course, drinking more than enough water!
i think it's the only other positive about opiate w/d.
been there hon...and all i had to do was think and close my
eyes..and that's all it took a couple times.

well i went to the doctor and told him that i had been ingesting 2,000mg of acetaminophen a night for 2 weeks. he kinda laughed and looked at me and said what for so i said shin splints. he laughed his ass off and said that ibuprofen would work better, and to not worry about any liver damage. he said 2 grams of acetaminophen every 24 hours isn't anything. if i had been taking 2 grams every 6 hours or so then i would be fucked.

 

[Frosta]

Sweety he's right, steal some advil. It works a lot better, I was born with arthritis and the rebound pain from my withdrawal was fucking awful. Pot and advil helped a lot.

 

[sludgefactory101]

yea i know. i just wanted to make sure i didnt do some serious damage to my liver. when i told him what went down he just laughed and sent me on my way
