Please help me go through withdrawal

Hey sleeplessness lasts a long time IME. I didn't sleep for the whole first month I was in rehab. But most people sleep sooner...I have insomnia since I was a kid.

Tell your doctor you need something to sleep, however seroquel and trazadone make you feel weird. Z drugs, may work for you (ambien, lunesta) They however do not work for me...I can take a whole bottle and nothing happens. Temazepam works for me, but I have anxiety driven insomnia. It gets better though man....sooner than you know.
 
Hi. I'm about to have a bad day tomorrow. I've been tapering off Dilaudid and Opana bc I may have hyperalgesia. It's basically becoming more sensitive to pain on pain meds. It's crazy. Anyway I was doing some long overdue cleaning and found some Oxycodone 15mg. Well I've been taking them all day so I screwed up my tolerance and put myself back now and I took them all so it's back to my regimen tomorrow. I've been thru opiate Withdrawl before once really bad and even feeling a little like that makes me feel really bad. i have an addictive past and only bc I had surgery recently and chronic pain o get pain meds. I don't know how I'm gonna explain tomorrow to people. My sister is here from Cali and I have to see my shrink tomorrow so Ityll be a long day. I guess my point is no matter how long you've been clean and sober never let your defenses down. Go to programs or do whatever it is you do to stay clean. I haven't abused anything in awhile up until recently. I gotta pay the price. Sucks. Withdrawl sucks but for those of you out there just think as soon as it's over you're free and going back will make you sick again. Sobriety is a great life....I know. Keep fighting thru the sickness y'all and everything will be fine!!! I promise!
 
Today ain't so bad. This morning sucked cause I woke up late and missed my Dilaudid dose so I took it when I woke up but my body wanted more. So far I haven't had any problems and back to 6 dilaudids a day with dr permission. Thought I had hyperalgsia but I don't. So I'll continue with my doses and their enough. I wish they'd dose me higher cause I'm hurting but with my past their only gonna go so high but I think I'm lucky with my past I get anything, much less 6 8mg Dilaudid and right now it's 20mg of Opana ER but I'm switching back to mscontin 60mg 3x day. I see my dr next Tuesday so oxy should be out. My best advice for Withdrawl won't make you feel physically better but just focus on being free from whatever you're withdrawing from. Keep positive even in dark physical hell. Before you know it you'll feel better and no longer a slave to a substance. Stay positive and keep head up. Everybody else have covered Withdrawl well. That's my advice. Be safe
