So I am just laying here on my tablet with no percocet flowing through my opiate receptors, much different then the last 10 or so months where I made my perc 10 script last the full month. This month I got out of control and I ended up running out 2 full weeks early. I mean I do need them but I am also a drug addict. So for these past 2 weeks I've spent money I shouldn't have on the streets buying mostly perc 5's (512's) . I will say when I was out of pills the first 4 days , it was not fun. I was taking about 80mg of percocet a day since November, albeit not 200mg like I have read some people wd from, but 80mg a day is nothing to sneeze at. One of the most troubling wd symptom I have is the grossly exaggerated emotional state I am in. I cant explain it , but for instance I will log into YouTube and listen to music , but if its a good song it will make me feel almost in a manic state! Another obvious pain in theass symptom is the god awful kicking the covers and the cats off my bed while I try to sleep! Good lord it just came to me to strap my legs down while in wd. The RLS syndrome is awful. Another one is the FEAR of going through life not on a euphoric buzz. When you become a custom to that 9pm dose of percocet as you retreat to your favorite spot on the couch watching FOX news, and that dose is not in your pill bottle, it fucks with my head!

So anyway i have lost my train of thought as I am beginning to be getting real antsy. I basically just want to hear from others going through the whole run out early every month of my percocet sob story.. I should be good on he 27th , thats still 3 days away and my cravings are pulling me to the streets tonight.

RLS by a mile.
LOL, I opened this thread along with a few others before anyone posted, as soon as I post I see like 5 others, same reply... RLS is something that will drive any sane person to insanity.
I guess also the stomach problems, constantly wiping away tears from yawning, ect. Coldflashes are not fun, either..
 
The running nose, sneezing and RLS.

I just awoke from a 28 hour straight sleep so was starting to get dope sick. There I was running around like a chook with its head cut off,trying to get my tools together to prep
a shot and my nose was leaking and spraying everywhere between sneezes. The only good part was the ease and pleasure of which I enjoyed emptying my boweks while simultaneously pushing down that plunger. The shower afterward was beautifully refreshing and finished waking me up, feeling a million bucks now as i drink my coffe and cigarette in hand.

I had a feeling i should have had this shot prepped to take when i awoke early this mprning to empty my bladder.
 
Restless legs for me as well, which seems to be the consensus here.

I can deal with insomnia, and anxiety by taking a bunch of benzos, and doxylamine

I can deal with shitting water for a few days with low doses of loperamide.

I can deal with the sneezing, watery eyes, etc, simply because it doesn't bother me that bad.

But I have yet to find a cure for the restless legs. I don't mind insomnia, its been a problem all my life. It's the fact that I just can't stay still at all that kills me. My restless legs have gotten so bad that they moved into my thighs by my 5th withdrawal, and now when I withdraw my entire body gets that shakey restless leg thing.

There have been times I went through withdrawal, and every other physical symptom was gone within a week, but the restless legs have lasted up to a month, and sometimes even last months after. It's almost as bad, if not worse than PAWS for me.
 
Only natural thing that helped my RLS (I'm talking 0 medication) was to prop them up onto a few pillows (4-5) when I tried to rest.. It helped out.
 
The never ending panic attack definitely.I have those anyway but opiate withdrawls make it 10x worse.My Xanax helps to some degree and having some liquor to go with them helps even more but you're still just sick and on Xanax and alcohol.Next on the list would be the thrashing.You're too weak to barely move but you can't sit still either.Nothing is any good,no matter what you do.Alternating hot and cold,going out of your mind,hurting all over(especially your back),and let's not forget your sinuses draining down your throat making you gag so much you can barely smoke a cigarette.All in all,the whole gamut of symptoms is hell.
 
Fluctuations in body temperature which lead to constant goosebumps and the insomnia. If I only had to pick one probably the insomnia.
 
The feeling of detachment from reality, flu-like pain, and the shits.

Never had RLS... Surprised to see so many cite it on their list. My old man actually has RLS and it drives me batshit crazy just sitting in the same room as him - can't imagine how annoying it must be to actually have!

I hate the feeling of being cold i live in Canada so it's not the warmest place ever and i really feel the cold bad when dope sick and also go to feeling hot sometimes so I'll take my jacket off but ill get cold again so on it goes again, and repeat. I also hate the insomnia and restless legs along with the mental part of your brain crying out for drugs while you think of doing your opiate of choice constantly.

If i have to pick one then jts the cold feeling probaly it just gets to me faster than anything else but altogether Withdrawal sucks:(

Def the insomnia!!!! RLS can easily be alleviated with thigh high compression stockings....busting out into body soaking sweats the first 4 days or so Sux too, at least for me cuz I literally get soaked but it usually only lasts a couple minutes and is worse at night, even when I come off with subs I still get the sweats
 
Im sure everyone agrees that the restless leg syndrome is prob THE worst part of withdrawl.for me its what i dread,that and the anxiety and not being able to stand or sit still,and the wanting to jump out my own skin..if uve ever precipitated withdrawled,u know meaning of wanting to 'jump out ur skin'
When i took suboxone too soon after having been on methadone @90-100mg/daily for 2 weeks,that had to be.the single most HORRIFIC withdrawl experience.of my life..i was literally laying in bed sweating like ive never sweat in my life,which smelled like that nasty opiate.detox smell,but magnified.but i was also literally jumping up and down while laying down in bed.I was moaning amd saying gcantibberish,to chanting 'i cant,i cant' .......I think the smell of ur own detox sweat makes the withdrawl experience so personal,and raw and just so...DAMMIT,WHY DID I DO THIS TO MYSELF!!!.....u know what I mean if u been thru it,especially more than a handfull of times.
 
All a off the above. It sucks flopping like a fish. I have a nice supply of subs on hand at all times so I don't go down that road. I like my sub breaks to keep my tollerance and abuse levels down.
 
I know theres a thread for opiate withdrawls,and medications and.things that help alleviate some of the angst and pain,but i wanted to say what works for me when i withdrawl.

I must say that gabapentin,or if ur lucky its better stronger faster acting cousin Lyrica,is THE best thing that will help with almost all withdrawl symptoms.i dont know why doctors dont utilize this medication for opiate withdrawl.Also,if u.can get ur hand on some benzos.longer acting ones like valium or klonopin are better because they last longer. If u have benzos on hand,u can try a stimulant even.but u gotta n careful if u try using a stimulant.it has helped me when i was so weak i cudnt even wash,and i think it gives a bit of dopamine boost to the system.if it becomes too much,then take a benzo..usually when ur coming down from a stimulant,and especially if ur in detox,ur gona most likely feel anxiety,and some.excess stimulation.which.can be uncomfortable..I think if ur gona use a stimulant at all,use it in the beginning to get thru the first few days without ur opiate of choice amd/or use the stimulant after uve been off the opiate for a awhile,i personally know that the month after detox.and more months after u have no energy.i had no energy at all and my legs had hurt for the month i was in rehab.i was only given.suboxne.for 3 days.4mg/first day,then 2mg then next 2 days..after.that,i wasnt given anything except for phenobarbitol on maybe 2 occasions.and ibuprofen.i ate 3 times a day,but.my biggest mistake was not exercising.i just felt sooo weak i just cudnt find.the strength.but i know if i wuda started slow,i wuda got stronger and better everyday..i just didnt do it...Sad to say the week i got out of my 28 day stint in rehab,i was tempted by a friend with crack cocaine.It was never my go to drug.i only liked to do.crack of i had.some dope or a.few.benzos to come.down off it...Bit i smoked crack a few times,ismoked weed,which i knew i was guna do anyway,but i didnt doy doc opiates!
2-3 weeks after rehab,and.dabbling so soon again,i left to New Hampshire to get away from everyone.Unfortunately,i got back into opiates by way of roxycodone because my gf got a script for her back..eventually we got tired of doing the oxys.Having to take ine every 4hrs,plus dealing with running out early and having to find someine to spot some,or hopefully have.money to get some more or mayne a few suboxone..
So,we said fuk it(well my gf did) and got on suboxone.And i been in suboxone ever.since,which has.been i believe 4 or 5years.
I knew that suboxone was a.strong opiate to utilize.But itos better.than chasing a high,or.chasing'getting well'. But i know the withdrawls are more prolonged,which i dread.And ive already had a taste.of suboxone witjdrawl.and i know getting off suboxone completely will be challenging for me..and anybody.Although its alot easier when u have other.meds on hand like gabapentin benzos or even phenibut for the anxiety and rls mainly.
 
the fucking night sweats. waking up at 3am shaking in your own bathtub of sweat you've created in your bed to reach over to chew up some more oxies, benzos, fucking anything thats there. temperature fluctuations, mood swings, the fucking RLS... shit its all fucking terrible.

oh and don't forget the fucking shits. fucking ring of fire.
