Im on a valium taper, and it just makes me feel depressed, i take tramadol sometimes in the day as a little mood booster, but whilst im coming off drugs i dont feel like going out at all, feel to anxious paranoid to be around alot of people etc, usually im ok if i have a one or 2 friends over but i just feel too low to go out.

Is this common whilst coming off drugs?

thanks
 
yeah I definitely feel you. Usually the beginning of W/Ds for me are the worst and I dont even feel like I can go out on the street to get food, immodium, etc...

im speaking about my opiate wd experience, so i dunno about benzo wd... but as tough as it is to get out there... it DOES help. It takes your mind off things a lot. It might be tough actually getting up and out but believe me, once you're with your friends, once you're outside, it can help..
 
i just hate not seeing my friends, but because i was hammering stims its given me bad paranoia, im thinking as long as i dont take any stims in a week or 2 i might be able to go out with friends again.

god i hate my life atm :(
 
Luckily i'm on MMT right now so I don't have to worry about it for the time being, but back in my dope shooting days it was the worst. My main group of friends that i've had since before high school smoke and drink and take benzos and shit, but never got involved hardcore with dope or anything. So they don't know exactly what it would feel like being in withdrawal, so for the longest time I would isolate myself from them if I was sick. Since I got on MMT though I opened up to them a lot about my opiate addiction, and am glad that they support me fully. It's just tough trying to explain it to someone who doesn't know what it feels like. The anxiety/depression would cripple me to the point where I would barely even be able to leave my room, unless it was for a trip to the hood. Sucked.
 
I think it's common. When you're withdrawing from a drug, you're hardly gonna be the life of a party. I'm a total recluse when I'm not on meth.
 
I'm there too,dude. I am wding and sometimes I will even unplug the phone. I am very antisocial when I don't feel ok. It's what mostly everyone feels like when withdrawing from drugs, especially benzos and alcohol. I just get ti this point where I say F everybody else! I am going to crawl into my detox bed and try to sleep til its all over.
 
thing is my taper is very long drawn out, (20mg val a week atm) dropping 2mg every two weeks, so i should sufferr minimal wd's but i still feel to depressed paranoid to go out beacuse i was used to boshing such higher doses of xanax and clonaz etc the docs just didnt understand.

Im so depressed atm its unreal. I hate being phydically dependent on a drug, wish it was back to good ol days off once a week bit ot md or something, but now im addicted to benzos and have also started using opiates to take the depression away from the withdrawal, which i have to stop too.

Sorry this should probably be in TDS now.
 
I'm for sure that way and it really sucks when your friends don't understand what your going through physically and emotionally
 
meh. i think its best to try and keep your mind off it. ( at least opiate wd ) thats why i try to hang out and smoke weed and try to be as normal as possible even tho id feel like straight asshole.
 
Lying in the dark with the cat just focusing on the purring noise as sometimes movies or the laptop screen gives me bad headaches.
 
I like to detox at work. Opiates. I basically sit in an office and surf the net all day. Unless an emergency happens. Then it can be bad. But hey at least i dont have my gf nagging me all fucking day hey lets go do something im bored. Thats why i dont detox on my days off anymore. But either way i dont wanna do shit.
 
I can't stand to be around anyone when I'm kicking. Just leave me be. It's hard on loved ones I know. My lady will "want to help" and "be supportive" but I just tell her the best thing you can do (beyond copping me some bags!) is to stay away till it's done. This lets go do something to take your mind off it only makes it worse for me. I'm sure it's all in my head but that's where my brain is.
 
Hi, I am new to this forum. Hey, I can empathize with you all about withdrawls and isolation- it sucks!
 
I can say a good distraction from the pain of withdrawl helps and even though I didn't want it, it was a lot better with friends around than without them. I probably would have killed myself.
