Anytime, it's concerning when anyone is in the hospital, that's pretty scary though, is this the first time you've had anything like this happen?

Yep first time anything like this happened...just got released today (Friday) and was in there since last Sunday...my damn tolerance was so high from opanas that it took me a couple days to get them to get me up to IV dilaudid for any pain relief, but they wouldn't give me more than a 2mg shot every 4hrs...which I didn't feel at all lol...the morphine shots they gave me before the dilaudid didn't even take away my withdrawals, craziness lol


Edit: the dilaudid did take away the wd's good tho but had no feelin from it at all,maybe 5 second of a rush and it was over, totally disappointed they wouldn't give me more lol cuz ive always wanted to try the rush but i forbid myself to start a new habit lol...but oh well atleast it
made my leg feel better...

Sorry for the tl post lol
 
alcohol withdrawal is the worse.. its the only withdrawal you can die from.. i know opiate withdrawal's feel as if your gunna die.. but alcohol withdrawal you can actually die from, so i'd say alcohol
 
everything sucks about being dopesick.. I hate the feeling of being cold then you cover yourself in blankets and 2 seconds later you are burning up, and then you take blankets/clothes off and are freezing again.. vicious cycle.. all while your legs are bugging out..

BUT having to go to WORK while in this state is TERRIBLE--- especially for what my job entails.. I am a server at a restaurant and while I am sweating and bugging out mentally and physically having to take orders and carry trays and put on a friendly face like I give a fuck that you dont have ketchup at that moment!:! :(

I just recently withdrew from a poppy pod , IV heroin and xanax ( 6 mg a day ) habit . I Havent used in 35 days and I still dont feel right . Mostly just stomach issues and stuff still . But the first 20 - 25 days were a nightmare non stop puking , insomnia , RLS pretty much every horrible thing i can imagine . And the way benzo withdrawl amplifys light and sound is just unbearable . Im just glad its all over , I feel so much better now and im no longer addicted to any drugs.[/Q

Congratulations your differently fighting the good fight. But remember your still an addict it takes over a year to lose the addiction part. Start a new thread and keep us posted on how its going. Remember to everyone on the road to recovery has a few mishaps and if you do, don't say fuck it and start using again just learn from it and keep pushing towards reclaiming your life cause it is no easy task. Remember what you went through to get this far. Keep going forward never backwards. And congratulations once again.

No its not the only thing. You can also die from benzodiazepine & barbiturate withdrawals.

both are bad and dangerous but the withdrawl from a potent barbiturate(secobarbital, pentobarbital) is actually a bit worse than benzo withdrawl.

i've felt the onset of potent barb withdrawl and can say with 99.9% certainty that its the worst drug to withdrawl from.

the only drug i think would be any worse is methaqualone.

I wasn't saying one was easier to withdrawal from another, I was saying that not just alcohol has fatal withdrawals. I believe you could die from methaqualone withdrawals as well because it has direct affinity to the GABA-A receptors

yeah GABAergics like potent fast acting barbs, quaaludes, and booze can kill you during withdrawl so i'd say those are the worse.

definately worse and more dangerous than opiate withdrawl, i'd rather withdrawl from a potent opiate over a potent GABAergic anyday.
 
Opiate withdrawals produce more of a sickness (flu like symptoms/runny noes/cough/watery eyes/vomiting/nausea/diarrhea/fever) & pain

Benzodiazepine/barbs/quaaludes/booze withdrawals mostly deal with the muscles (aches/convulsions/seizures/DT's/RLS/spasms) & anxiety related problems

you forgot potential death.

withdrawl from GABAergics > withdrawl from opiates

Never experienced barbiturate withdrawals, just benzos but they are bad enough. I really want back on them. Its impossible to stay off them. Hellish physical addiction but that can pretty much managed if you do it correctly with diazepam taper but the mental withdrawals...no medication that works for that. I want right back on and you relapsed. I'll relapse soon, I'll think of something to get him to put me back on them. I'll bug the shit out of him and threaten to leave...but I won't because I want my Desoxyn. I don't know of anyone who deals pills. Just dope, coke, meth, E, ketamine and other bullshit. No bud either. Nothing for anxiety.
 
I've never experienced benzo WDs, luckily. I'm prescribed to xanax, and even if I take them for a year straight and suddenly stop, I get no WDs. However, opiates kick my ass as far as WDs are concerned.

That's good you don't experience withdrawals from stopping Xanax cold turkey but you should not do that. Even if you aren't hurting or anything you may experience seizures out of the blue. Although I don't know if you've been on them long enough to experience seizures it is always possible. So always taper.
 
The hardest time I have had (at the risk of being flamed) was stopping smoking cannabis.
I know that a lot of people on this thread will have worse stories, but I have never been addicted to anything harder than cannabis.
However, cannabis withdrawal syndrome is becoming better-understood.
It affected me pretty strongly, both mentally and physically, for 2 months after stopping, though the first month was the worst.
I had flu-like symptoms, nausea, headaches, other physical pain, depression, lethargy, some insomnia (though less than other people report), nightmares, and a general lack of interest in life or ability to get out of bed. I couldn't focus or accomplish much of anything. All I could think about was how much I wanted to smoke. (I did not experience the night-sweats and lack of appetite that some people experience.)

Here are some journal articles for those who think I am full of shit, or that I don't understand what REAL withdrawal is (which, I admit, is possible):

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/1...2.00026.x/full

I am not trying to argue that my withdrawal was worse than yours.
I am simply answering the question from the OP, about the worst withdrawals I have experienced.
I am also backing up what I say, since I see a large chance that people will try to tell me that what I have experienced is either a) not real, or b) not a big deal.

If you were planning to say either of these, read the journal articles first.

I'm sure it sucked for you. I'm glad you said the worse withdrawals "I" have experienced. Nobody can argue with you. Worse withdrawals "I've experienced was from Klonopin. I won't compare symptoms because I'm not trying to make it sound like I'm saying "the withdrawals from my drug are worse than yours nah nah nah"

What I was trying to say (cluttered head right now) is that I had a hard time mentally getting off marijuana but I didn't suffer withdrawals other than cravings and some depression. So I had an easier time. Not everybody responds the same. It was hard for me to give up because I was so used to it and didn't know what I would do without it. It went so well with other drugs and I was basically using it with every drug so going without it was pretty tough.

Exactly.
People react differently to drugs, and withdrawals are different.
With my bad withdrawal symptoms on cannabis, I wonder what it would be like for me on benzos, or opiates. Pretty brutal, it seems.
After having gone through that on cannabis (several times :() my heart goes out to those who have much more painful and serious withdrawals.
