ok, im curios as o how long any of you have experienced the seconday withdrawal symptoms upon stopping opiods...by seconday withdrawal, i mean TIREDNESS, LOW tolerance for PAIN, DEPRESSION, BOREDOM, INSOMNIA, and tht "zombie-esque" feling...how long have u experienced these symptoms??
there seems to be alot of conflicting info when it ces to secondary ithdrawal, and the time it takes opiod receptors(yer natural ones) to repair themselves back to normal...i have talked to seeral docs/specialists about this, and some say it takes anywhere from 4-6 weeks, and 2 have even saidthere is studies that show it can take up to 18 months!!!!!u read that right....seems to be the most common timeline is abut 2-3 months to go backto feeling normal...then again, some claim you will never be normal ever again...
which brings me to another question, is there actual studies that show ones natural opiod receptors can permanently be lowered thru long term opiod use??
als, does anyone know the average time zone in which RELAPSE usually occurs??i imagine it would be within that 1-2 onths of being sober, but im not totally sure...
