Body / Mind Rejecting Opiates

Hello everyone

Hoping you guys can offer some insight from either your own experience or knowledge. I have been abusing opiates for some time now, probably 3 or 4 years. I have a relatively high tolerance and use daily at high doses. I only use pills, any oxy you can think of. It is rare I experience the euphoric high that I used to and recently I have had negative affects when dosing. These affects include lot's of anxiety, nausea, lightheaded, legs feel wobbly, excessive dry mouth, mood swings, and sleeplessness. Usually I can sleep as long as I am on opiates. It is when I dont take them that I have trouble but recently I have had trouble sleeping even when on opiates. I began taking vitamins and L-Tryptophan which has helped me sleep again. For the last two months I came to the realization that I need to quit and have detoxed a couple times but can not seem to stay sober. I have been hitting NA meetings and making attempts at improving my lifestyle.

So my question for you is, does this sound like my body is beginning to reject the drug or maybe psychologically my mind knows that I need/want to quit so it is producing these negative side effects as a result? I am at a lose and frankly am growing quite concerned that this could lead to medical concerns or death down the line. I did some research and have found that others have experienced issues similar but not quite the same.

Any insight and opinion is appreciated.

I think psychologically your "true self" is saying "enough is enough," time to detox from this poison and live a clean lifestyle again.

Listen to your wise inner-owl and don't confuse it with the manipulative snake that is your addiction convincing you you don't have a problem.

Best wishes!
