I know there are many posts on this topic but its hard to find a post that I can access that is recent. I have been taking some form of opiate basically everyday for the past year. I tried to quit once before and made it 2 days. I was never precribed anything they were all bought off the street. I started taking them because I was 27 and got braces and it was extremely painful. Then once I started I didn't stop bc I loved how I felt. I decided I had to quit bc they are getting more expensive and I found myself putting off bills to buy my pills. Today is day 8 and I still feel really nauseous, the feeling u get when it's time for another pill. I got through day 4 using tramadol( very small doses) and Xanax ( which I am prescribed bc I have a lot of anxiety) and flexeril. So here is day and I still feel sick to my stomach and minor body aches I treat with ibuprofen . Should I still be feeling like this? I was taking around 7-8 lortab 10s daily( I know this isn't much compared to what others have gone through) I'm just ready to feel better. I took vacation to go through the detox and I return to work Tuesday and I was really hoping I would feel better by then. Thanks to anyone who can provide and help.
Hi Bang!
Wow! Day 8! Congratulations to you! I can't provide you a solid answer as I am only on day four. From my understanding, it can take six weeks to feel "normal." Please do not let this discourage you. You are doing great, and have made it through the hardest part! Stay strong, you are doing amazing!
