Dreaming about...withdrawal???

[previouslyhere]

I know mostly everyone has had 'using dreams' before, but has anyone had WITHDRAWAL dreams?

I've been clean off of Suboxone for a little over 3 weeks now. I got so lucky (due to a good taper and lots of exercise) that I experienced about 2 days of mild withdrawal and virtually no PAWS since. However I've had a couple extremely vivid using dreams (where I could literally feel the euphoria/high in my dream).

The past 2 nights I've had extremely vivid withdrawal dreams. Its been very weird. One of them I was in withdrawal and felt sick and was seeking Benzos to calm down. I found some Xanax in my dream, took 2 2mg bars. Woke up from the dream right after that and felt fine.

Last night I had a dream where I was laying on a couch in full w/d experiencing RLS, my mom walked in, I asked her for a Suboxone and I jolted awake. I feel fine.

In fact the withdrawal in these dreams was worse than the mild W/D I experienced jumping off the Suboxone.

Anyone else have W/D dreams before? WTF is up with this?

pointless post mate.


Well i've never had to nurse an addiction myself but I have had dreams where I have experienced the euphoria from opiates and it felt extremely real but never W/D dreams. Although I do remember reading about someone who had a similar experience before. So I don't think it's a freak occurrence its just your mind probably thinking about W/Ding because during the day I bet you're thinking about that alot. Don't worry about it if it's only in your dreams.

and congratulations on getting past your addiction!

^agreed.
@Halogenic, I know I haven't been here much longer than you have, but this IS a harm-reduction/ POSITIVE information site. If you're going to post, please attempt to contribute to what the thread is discussing. Otherwise, don't post a few dots in an attempt to increase your post count. Quality over quantity my friend :D I'm not tryna get pissy or anything, but others may get pretty aggressive if they saw something such as that.

To the OP, I can definitely understand where you're coming from, as I sit here with some suboxone dissolving under my tongue now. I've had using dreams, mainly about booting heroin/oxy. I have never experienced a withdrawal dream, and I have had to withdrawl from suboxone unexpectedly, luckily I am back on it now.

I know sometimes the cravings and the opportunity will come very strong, but keep your head about you and you'll be able to beat it. The human body is capable of amazing things.

Good job getting clean, even from the suboxone, that stuff is pretty bad to withdrawal from, I unexpectedly had to jump off from 16mg's a day when the police stole my legit prescription to sell on the street.

woke up the other day with my favorite vein aching and soar,

but yet i thought it strange

I have had a handful of nightmares about running out of Klonopin, usually in my dream I'll call in my refill and for some reason it won't get refilled or I'll be unable to make my psychiatrist appointment and I get cut off. Then I usually wake up soaked in sweat. I've been through benzo withdrawal and it was one of the most profoundly torturing experiences of my life.

Yeah, I know what you are talking about. I hate those dreams.

I've never dreamt about withdrawal exactly, but I have had dreams where my drug experiences have gone very bad, and I've OD'd, or had a bad trip. and they feel true to life...If I've been off for awhile, sometimes I'll also have a dream where I've used and feel so guilty, that once I even woke up crying.

I've never had a dream about withdrawals, but plenty about finding/using drugs. It always upsets me that you can dream about sex and wake up with a wet dream, but all the times I dream about drugs I never wake up high. I've had plenty of nightterrors while experiencing witrhdrawal, but never about the withdrawal itself
