spaceyourbass said:Here is a very specific thing that has happened to me from opiate w/d-
When trying to sleep, I can't. I'll get maybe an hour or two a day with naps. After a few days, I get really tired at night. The type of tired where you know that you're going to fall asleep within one minute of laying down. What happens though, is that my mind falls asleep before my body. I think I enter REM sleep before my body is actually asleep, wish I knew more about it. The bad thing is that this state is extremely scary. I have heard loud demonic voices while in it, along with hallucinations of generally scary things. Also, I can't move my body in this state, and I have to try so hard to snap out of it. Then when I wake up, I still see hallucinations, like a dark figure of a man in the doorway.
Other than that (thats kind of rare), the worst thing about opiate withdrawal for me is the stomach pain. I cannot stand the shits, the aches, the pains. I would rather go through a month of difficult psychological cravings than have the stomach pains for a week.
Look up "'sleep paralysis" and "old hag syndrome"... i used to get this too a while back
