Misc what's your most annoying opiate wd symptom?

RLS, and constant lower leg pain. I've recently started taking Kratom for WD's and let me tell you this stuff really works. Almost as good as being on the drug/drugs but without all the horrible WD's.

there are still wds with kratom.. sorry to tell you.
Although with most people they are less severe.

I do 2 weeks on kratom and 2 weeks off it.
Right now im on it and i wake up with watery eyes and no energy until i dose, then my day begins.

I still get RLS when i take my 2 weeks break from kratom, but they aren't as bad as when i kicked suboxone or methadone (THEY ARE EVIL).

Welcome to BL by the way. Noticed it was your first post.
 
night sweats. nothing worse than waking up freezing covered in sweat.

on the other hand, it does feel pretty great when you get dry clothes back on.
 
^^hot showers/baths are good for that but you dont want to get out afterwards back into the cold.

I also hate the waking up in a pool of sweat every hour when your sick even if i took a strong sedative before bed i would be up in an hour sick as hell drenched in sweat. I used to wake up 2-3 times a night drenched in sweat when i did heroin. I would do my last shot around 10 pm then every night my body would wake up drenched in sweat at 2 am and again at 5-6am i would have to do more heroin to fall asleep for another couple hours each time i woke up and if i had no dope then i would lay there sick thrashing my legs and sweating praying i would have the strength to kill myself. Heroin addiction was hell on earth for me thats for sure. I hated having to use to fall asleep due to my fast metabolism and heroins short half life it distubed my sleep and took away from my supply of dope faster but i had to to feel well all night.
 
I don't know how many of you have kicked in jail but it's a million times worse than going through it at home.That place is uncomfortable as hell even if you aren't withdrawing.Plus you're in there with a bunch of loud,annoying idiots,most of who you can easily see why their dumb assess are locked up.For those who have been fortunate enough to avoid this hellish situation I can assure you that it takes dope sick to a whole new level of suckiness.
 
Wow downerhead... I can't even begin to imagine the kind of hell that would be! The next time I go through withdrawals & I'm feeling like crap, I will remind myself of what you just told us & that I don't have it so bad, that it could always be worse.
 
The mental issues are the worst in my opinion. Crippling depression, complete anhedonia, dwelling on every little thing that is bothering you in life and thinking its 100x worse...you know, that shit. Suprisngly it doesn't give me horrible anixety like some people will say, I get worse anxiety from a bad alcohol hangover. I never think I am dying or anything, but I might want to when its real bad. Thats the one major reason I have always been thankful for Suboxone...because even though it hardly touches some of the physical symptoms when you are at first switching over and tolerance is too high for suboxone to relieve it all, it still kind of numbs the psychological symptoms.

I would put insomnia as probably the 2nd worst, its basically a result of the RLS and restlessness. There is nothing better than finally getting some sleep when you are on a rattle...like 3 days without sleep and you are finally able to knock yourself out if you take some benzos and a few beers maybe a joint, too. Get like 4-6 hours of sleep and its like you come out of a tunnel on the other side and know things are starting to get better and only will improve from there. At least thats how all my cold turkeys have gone, but I wouldn't even deal with that BS anymore, at least do a rapid Sub detox or preferrably a 1-2 month Sub taper.
 
i see how the majority of people say RLS is the worst, thats because it is!

never in my life have i experienced such discomfort and it sucks trying to describe the feeling of restless leg syndrome to non opiate users. i cant even think about them, such a horrible horrible feeling
 
RLS doesn't really bother me (I usually have it anyway, even when I'm clean). The flu symptoms aren't great but I can deal with it. What really fucks me up is the mental aspect of WD-- 24/7 fog, and feels like your brain is melting. Oh, and not being able to sleep. That contributes to the mental fog.

^good post..hope you're doing well RTrain.


not the most annoying but prob the most embarrassing was nocturnal emission. Had two in same night once..

Some people who have never experienced this seem to get the idea that its 'pretty cool'. Not so ime, I actually had one in detox before, it was awful. I had to shower at like 2am and that was after only sleeping for maybe 45 mins.

I could explain more but TMI imo..

Lol kicking at jail done it twice

Would pace back an forth all night waiting for whatever meds they have me then the lovely sleep psychosis
 
^ I've never had to do it, thank allah
It was always a pretty big fear though if I was sick and on my way to the city to cop, I heard some jails will give subs to addicts though

For all you saying rls, just try to get some gabapentin or pregablin the latter being more potent
Helps rls and other wd symptoms better than anything besides more opiates
 
The rls and the anxiety is the worst for me! Kratom is good for the rls but the anxiety just does not seem to go away with me. That's why I always fail at going ct. X
