Hi folks...I have a friend who thinks he may be suffering from withdrawals from hydrocodone/Dope but isn't quite sure. Here's his situation:
He was on dope for 2 weeks dosing throughout the day (snorting) after he stopped he suffered some nasty withdrawal for a period of about 4-5 days.
After quitting the dope, 10 days later he decides to start using about 30 milligrams of hydrocodone, every 2 days for about 9 days straight but on the last 2 days he does one bag of dope each day. Now that he's stopped this he's feeling some nasty muscle pain in his leg and ass muscles, could this be another withdrawal or could it be that he didn't stretch before working out his legs? I don't think using 5 or 6 times throught 10 days will do much (especially if it is mostly hydrocodone) but could it be that he was only clean for ten days from the dope and then started again? He's not suffering much in the way of nausea or not eating or cold sweats... just the bad muscle pain.
Also, could a muscle relaxer like flexiril aid in aleviating the muscle pain?
Thanks for taking the time.
 
Flexiril will make you pass out... that's about it. I highly doubt he's suffering withdrawal, not physical anyway. Maybe some mental, but it takes about a month or hardcore use to really feel any physical withdrawal symptoms.
 
it sounds like muscle soreness from the workouts he did, and NOT withdrawals...just from that short span of usage i would think the withdrawals(if any) would be a little restlessness and maybe diarrhea, i wouldnt think he would be getting bad muscle spasms yet....

If he's "not quite sure" that he's withdrawing, then he's not. When he is, he'll definitely know it.

2 weeks is nothing. You haven't seen nasty yet.
 
To alleviate muscle soreness, drink lots of water, eat adequate amounts of protein, stretch thoroughly, take hot baths with epsom salts, and massage if possible.
