Home Remedies For Opiate Withdrawals

I'm on day 2 of withdrawal. The anxiety and the Sweating is what's killing methe most. Yesterday I had to leave work because my stomach was so upset and I was sweating so much that I felt like I was going to pass out. I'm trying to stay positive and keep my mind busy on other things than what's going on with my body. Unfortunately, it's hard to focus on anything good when you feel so bad.

as well....how can i deal with the anxiety and the shaking? my whole body feels like ive got my finger plugged into a light socket. I cant go to a doctor and get anything prescribed. I need to do this naturally (or as naturally as possible) so that I dont become addicted to someting else. any suggestions?

feel for ya. um if u can manage work great. but if u cant see a doctor for a temp script for anxiety pills just keep going man.. worst comes to worse take your sick days if u cant handle it..come down with bad stomach flue. not sure your situation but i was at 20 perks day and 75 mg fentanyl cold turky.. i was very rough for 8 days,. it feels like it wont end but it does and you will really like your self in the end..be strong..tc

im on Day 4 of my withdrawal. I seem to be doing much better during the day other than the occasional leg problems and anxiety. Its at night thats the worst for me. Once I get home and try to relax is when my legs start to get really restless and theres not anything I can do to make it better. I have leg cramps PM from Hylands and that really does help me sleep, but Im just concerned that it will get to the point where I will need something at all times in order to get to sleep. I want to be able to go to sleep on my own. Maybe I will try this weekend and see where I end up.

I was doing anywhere from 120-160mg of vikes a day. I cant say I stopped cold turkey, but I just one last weekend of a few of them so that I could taper down just a little bit. even that little bit helped I think. I also think SOME of it is mind over matter. I cant say all of it is because its obvious that it just really sucks. I find myself now just thinking about them all day, every day. Im guessing that wont get any better for a little bit yeah?

keep it up man, dont take anymore vikes.it just prolongs it......be strong...give it time cause thats what you need, and you will be happy when its over.. not goin be easy but u can do it man.. if your sleepin thats great.. lots of people go weeks with no sleep.....a couple days wont hurt ya. you will just sleep better the next day..go out and exercise, walk or run for hours no matter how bad you feel.. it really helps, really hot baths(hot tub)...and have u tried immodium??tc, keep us updated...hang in there..

Immodium was a god-send the first 3 days. I had done quite a bit of research on it before I decided that it was time to stop. It truly does help. I dont know how, but it does. I also invested in some Scullcap and took that 2-3 times a day for my anxiety and edginess. Im blessed because I have a job where I have to stay moving and I cant do much rest during the day.

I hate that I feel okay during the day and then have problems in the night time. I dont understand why that is. I also didnt know if anyone had a timeline on how long this sh*t lasts and when i should feel "normal" again? any ideas?

Georgia where are you??? Are you okay Hun?? I been trucking up and down east coast for last 2 months it has been interesting. I'm off everything!! Georgia please write back and jus let me know you are okay I pray for you everyday!!! Umm I miss you song!!!!!

omg, purpill and georgia, I finally refound this thread. I've been searching and searching for this, I only have my smart phone. This is guestAz. You two have got me thru rough times, which Ill be in again. Ran out of pills again as I always do, but this time 7 days from doc. Oh well, I did get some Kratom as Georgia insisted. Ill be trying it Sat as I MUST work . Oh God, why do I do this every frikn month?? Ps spent over 600 bucks on street pills last month now flat azz broke. Sheesh.

Az How are you luv? Well I guess not so hot. MISSED YOU!!! Kratom works!!!!! It is so hard to just really tough it out. You just have not had enough I guess...........and DETOX is HELL for awhile. One worth going thru though. You know I'll be here for you month after month but you playin a dangerous game and one month you may never be back like at all. Is it worth it??????????????? Hun you talking to someone that was caught in that same type cycle for sooo long......It's hell, it's hard, but the choice is yours. I hope kratom works really good for you!!!! If you need a better way to talk jus ask......BE SAFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XOXO

I'm doing "ok". And yes its HOT outside. We moved into a house last month, 8). The kratom and lopermide does seem to be helping!!! I'm 48 hrs in and have just a headache, and blahs. Which kratom is best. I can't stomach the tea, I almost puke by the capsules. But is maeng or malaya best???? I got both. So how are you, I thank you 8).. I have to work Mon and Tues. So hope day 3 is better than today. Just bllahs and headaches.

well just my2cent...its a vicous circle 600 buck/month..and its only goin to get worse,, to do that month to month of money and hurt ect...one would think its time to stop, wein yourself off or go on methadone,,, but thats just me.....

Doggydog your right, that's money I will never get back and of course the sickening part is, there was stuff I wanted to buy with it, but I chose to go thru my scripts, I dont/won't give anyaway, your right, its a vicious cycle, and my hubby is NOT supportive. He knows I'm in pain, but also knows I take more than I'm supposed to. In some of my earlier posts, one thing I haven't done is H. And I've been doing this for 4 years now. But I understand now why people could go to it. I have turned it down even in some of my darkest wdraw moments. By no means am I bragging, but I'm scared its a path I may go to and so that's a line, I promise myself I won't cross. How do you deal with physical pain when chiropractors, accupuncture, ibuprofen and other doesn't even touch it. The pain pills just make it tolerable, they don't even take it away. I have realized that I can't get a high from them anymore and I need to take as prescribed, ya right hungh????? But I truly thank you Doggy. I'm on day 5 now, still feel blah and no energy. I am sleeping tho and I think its probably. The kratom that Georgia told me about, but that's not cheap either. Sorry to keep babbeling.

I really appreciate this post, I have been taking vicodin and norocos for about 8 yrs. about 10-20 a day. I want to quit so badley. they are ruining my and my families life, financially, emotionaly ect... it is literally killing us. I am so afraid of the wd. I tried it cold turkey one time and thought I would die. I have been trying to find ways to kick this without going to a clinic and leaving my children and I cant afford any of those vitamins and other things I read about on other pages. I really need an inexpensive and quick and painless remedy to kick this habit. can anyone please suggest anything?

Hi guys, I know a lot of you are are complaining about restless legs. I can tell you I have dealt with the restless leg thing for over 10 years.  I know this technique doesn't help completely but it does help a bit. Lay down on your stomach, side, etc..if you lay on your back make sure your legs are dangling. Ok, this sounds weird but I swear it will help after a bit..and I know it sounds stupid to do it for so long but when your legs are freaking out that bad and the withdrawel is that bad...what else are ya gonna do? Anyways, rock one or both of your legs back and forth quickly and bend them straight up and down a lot as well..just keep doing it. I'm not sure why it helps but it does..

 

To help you sleep take benadryl..you can take up to like 6 at a time. It doesn't hurt you and I dont think your body will ever become immune to it.

 

Another thing that has helped me is the motion sickness pills.. dramamine I think the actual name is called? Take a few of those through the day to help with the anxiety and sickness feeling.Goodluck everyone.. I'm sorry to say but the best way to get out of this mess is will power and to wean yourself off of them. Also, it can help to keep just 1-2 pills that you WONT take but have there as a back up for mental problems. Like..if you know you have atleast one left you wont freak out as bad..but you dont take it? If that makes sense?

Just wanted to add in that I have been on hydrocodone(vicodin), Morphine, Methadone, Hyrdomorphone(Dilaudid),Oxys, Roxys, Opana, H, and every single opiate out there except for opium. For over 10 years...So I know how hard this is, I know how bad it is...and sad thing is that I still have to take them and I am very young. I have SEVERE medical issues but the good thing is I no longer abuse them and take only what I need and even have left-overs sometimes.. You CAN do this..You CAN get through this you just need to believe in yourself!
