Im having really bad opiate withdraws.. i relapsed recently and now i feel like death because i dont have subs or anything.

Can someone tell me something i can do to make all these Cold Sweats go away?

Was doing 30mg Oxy IR ( blues ) had 8 of them 2 days ago and told im getting the rathh of withdraws with no subs or anything to stop it.. i guess it looks like i might need to ride this one out. :(
 
I feel you, I live in florida (the blue capital of the world!) and I was hooked on blues as well. About 15 days ago I quit cold turkey. I used to take anywhere from 5-10 blues a day too. My physical withdrawals lasted about 6 days. What really helped during the withdrawals was getting wasted, and smoking a lot of weed. Valium or other GABA shit helps as well.. If you can get any kratom, that works great too. Just stick it out. It feels like the withdrawals will never end, but one day you will feel like a million bucks. It's totally worth it to stick it out.

If you don't feel like doing anything that I mentioned, I heard ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help the goosebumps (which to me was the most annoying part). Also try taking benadryl to help go to sleep, cause sleep is almost impossible.
 
Man i remember when the epidemic of pain clinics where around i wanted to head down there so bad ha, anyways thanks alot for the advice, i just got an Oz of some good bud but i smoke it all ha but it did helppp. I might head to walgreens and get some Benadryl to sleep tonight also some bars would be nice also may help.

yeah bars help alot.. like i said anything that fucks with the GABA receptors will help with withdrawals, although it won't abate them completely like suboxone or methadone would. And just my advice, but stay away from subs and methadone. I tried to quit once with subs, and I just got hooked on subs.. So I had to try again cold turkey without any prescription help. It's totally worth it. Alcohol helps a ton, and so does Xanax/valium/klonopin.

I feel great now. It's amazing how good you can feel once you've kicked opiates. The plus side of going through withdrawals cold turkey is that you can feel the pain, and it makes you never want to use again once you're through it. I used to traffick the shit across the alley like no other, and I was able to use for free since I was pushing so much... that life just isn't worth it though. Not everyone can be a Lil Wayne.
 
I'm on day 6 coming off blues as well. I was taking anywhere between 4-7 them a day for the past year and a half. Its so horrible, I keep going on for a month, off for a week, on for a month, off for a week.. I just can't seem to make it over the hump. The last 5 years have been a drug induced blur due to stress, depression, you name it. I'd love to be clean and happy like a normal person, my mind and body doesn't work that way though. I'm almost willing to admit that it will be a life long battle.. I can't even fathom how much money has been put up my nose, its just ridiculous and makes me want to vomit.. I make 100+k a year and have nothing to show for it. Its pathetic. I feel ya tho, keep up the good work, you can do it..
 
Thanks for all the advice guys i appreciate it, Right now im smokin my bong and drinking a few beers... im still getting the sweats and goose bumps, I took 2 kpins 0.5MG each, Anything else you guys think would help? I was thinking on taking some Nyquil before bed but not sure if that would fuck me up while drinking and having a few kpins?

Best advice ever. You definitely want to remember that pain and document it well. I would also like to add that imodium does actually work quite well at alleviating some WDs and also with the bathroom issues.

Taken from OD's Opioid withdrawal thread:

Lopermide (Immodium) is a very strong opioid. However in low doses it does not cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and therefore only acts on your peripheral nervous system and not your central nervous system (CNS). In lower doses it is extremely useful for limiting diarrhea and related symptoms, and in high doses it actually does somewhat cross the BBB and can almost completely eliminate withdrawal and can actually be used to perform a taper of its own.

Be careful with that combination, alcohol, kpins and Nyquil is quite the cocktail. All those slow down your breathing, especially during sleep. If you know your tolerances though, than you should be ok, just be careful. I've had a friend die with kpins, alcohol and other substances, thats where the warning comes from.

I think the worst part for me is the lack of sleep.. I've had about 6 hrs of sleep over the last 3 days. Its horrible. Nothing is more maddening than sleeping for 30 min intervals, god it kills me. Also, the fucking sneezing.. jesus christ, i hate it. During the day though, i'm feeling a lot better, a little lethargic still, but not as bad as it was.

I hope it goes well for ya bro, i WISH i had some green to help, not possible at the moment though.. Green has helped me in the past a lot, i've also heard that Robotussin helps with the sweats and shaky legs, though i've never tried it.. It could be nonsense.
 
Good advice guys, I just came back from CVS and picked up some Ibuprofen PM and Benadryl for the pain and sleep.. i really hope this helps.
 
Mannn... my legs are killin me and im sweating like a bitch. Its 12pm midnight and im tired and wanna hit the sack.. but i know i wouldnt be able to sleep at all ill just sweat and be in leg pain.

That sucks bad.. I'm literally in the exact same boat. I just lay there, wishing I could fall asleep. This time though, my legs aren't as bad, I'm not even sweating as bad as I have in the past, its just the sleeping part. I've had to take loads of IB PM to do the trick, but even then, its not the long REM deep sleep that your body needs. It is what it is though, my own fault.
 
The ibuprofen-PM formula and Benadryl likely have the same drug, diphenhydramine, so make sure you do not take too much. I would suggest no more than 50 - 75 mg diphenhydramine at a time, and no more than 4 times a day at those doses. Too much can induce delirium and discomfort, however it is quite useful for sedation and alleviation of nausea/vomiting. I would also suggest loperamide (Imodium). As mentioned above it is a strong opioid, which works in the body's opioid receptors, but not the brain's, which can help a great deal with wd's. Using Klonipin as you said you were is good for making yourself comfortable, but I do not suggest drinking. Drinking is likely to make you feel worse in opioid wd's due to increased nausea, and hangover symptoms. Another drug that can really help is clonidine (Catapres), however it is rx, but if you have any around the house, I might use a little (0.1 mg every 8 hours as needed) for sedation and sleep, as well as control of sweats/chills. Also, to help with sweats and chills are baths or showers, preferably hot and often. Even sticking your feet in a tub of hot water is better than nothing, but baths/showers are the best. I would not suggest Nyquil as it is a dirty concoction of different drugs at varying dosages depending on the type, and this could be dangerous with the other drugs you are taking. I hope this helps some.
 
You all gave me really good info and i really appriciate it! I just picked up 3 subs so i should be ok.. but i did push through 4 days, they were hell but im almost to a week being clean. I really hope i stay clean and understand living without being "fucked up or doped out". I find myself wanted to relapes but i deleted all my contacts to pick up blues, so i think this is it for me. Just weed and Brews for me... Ill remember this pain for the rest of my life and when someone offers me a blue or anything i just have to try and remember how bad my WD was.
 
hey man im in the same boat as you right now but no subs. I just wanted to let ya know if you dont to not get into a daily routine of drinking because if it escalades into too much, you will wish you were comin off opioids because alcohol w/d is much worse and even lethal due to mainly seizures. best of luck to ya man and for me too lol. just layin in bed wishing i had some bud and could sleep. some positive vibes sent this way would be much welcomed :) peace
 
Woke up this morning with no WD's i feel awesome, smoked a bowl and have my coffee. Keep you guys up dated.
