How long does it take mentally to feel better after quiting pain pills?

Oh shut up

Prob means they snorted a roxycodone, or a zanax.

I am BEYOND proud of all of you! It is SO difficult, for most impossible to do what you are doing! You are doing the RIGHT THING!!! I have taken opiates for almost 20 years! Ended up finally taking 4 80 mg oxycontin a day! When you have taken this much this long, Plus when you get to this point, if you had a suitcase full it still wouldnt be enough! it is SO much harder to do! Stay the course! Good luck!

Tramadol is by far the worse pain med to get off of. I maxed out on OxyContin and Percocet for three years; maxed on methadone and Percocet for three years; and maxed on morphine and norco for two years for the past two years and finally stopped 8 days ago. Maxed on tramadol and Percocet inbetween my methadone and morphine period. Listen to me folks, tramadol is a narcotic. It took me month to get off it, where as the others took about two weeks. The side effects when getting of OxyContin; methadone and morphine was tough but your done after about two weeks, maybe a little more. But tramadol is for the big boys. You feel every cut back amount. The bigger the cut back, the more severe. No joke, I hyperventilated numerous times and felt snakes were in my veins on a regular basis while tapering off. Even after totally off of it which took three months, I was never myself. I had side effects like, dizziness, very light headedness and sweats sporadically several times a month for about year. I will never, I mean never take tradamol again. I try to warn anyone who wants to listen to be very very careful with this beast. It's for severe nerve pain. So it targets your veins which is so dangerous.

We're you successful? Have you tried Kratom?

Hi Ambur how did you go getting off the meds?

Thanks Deeb. Good words. I hope you're still hanging in there.

Are you still clean, how is things going for you

Hi your story sounds similar to mine...I was just wondering how you're doing now since it's been a year. It's only been a week for me and I just don't know if I'm going to get through this. I know that it has to end. It's unhealthy and sh*t, expensive. Especially for someone like me who can literally kill like 20 30mg percs in a day easy with no problem. I know there's a pot of gold on the other side of the rainbow, I'm just having a hard time finding it. I've been so depressed lately I'm going out of my mind. I've never felt this way before and no one understands. I've been in the bed for a week unable to move. I finally called the doctor and was prescribed Prozac for depression, but it hasn't started working yet...so we'll see. All I can do is hope :)

Talk to your dr. It really helped a loved one of mine. The problem was so bad, we were astonished. It took the death of his friend for him to do this. Dont let something bad before you make a positive change for you and your family

I have had 12 surgeries in 10 years I stopped taking pain pills and no more docs enough I have unbelievable pain from 2 hernias given to me by robot surgeries, shoulders pain from falling after 2 surgeries not getting better, I got a phone call one day and the person on the other end was promising to so horrific things to my body the calls kept coming that is the moment I had to stop taking pain pills so I could protect myself....in the last 12 weeks I have been out of my house three and that is when my brother from Texas and family from VA came to my rescue they took me to the beech my brother was a navy seal and Mom a doc...there is a book called fearless I want you to read it one of my brothers Navy seal team members that died fearless and side note he was on meth for many years and DEVGRU are bad ass hang in there pray hard read your bible help others and never give up It is hell when you stop putting pills in your body the docs never tell you that.... you said it best Pills should never control anyone high five to the docs lol......

Eat White maeng da kratom for a while, and when your sick of that, your done!

I am an addict of pain meds and drinking. i go thru huge stages of drinking and taking pills. i am a combat vet of iraq 3x1 and was in s.korea for 3 years. all i did in the army was drink to kill the pain and drink some more. when i got out in around 2010 i said goodbye to the army. they gave me tons of pain pills and anxiety meds. i was on them for years! i just now this month said screw it and stopped taking bout 60 mgs a day and felt the worst. ive been eating tylenol eating soup and it feels like a cold. just never give up and you can make it through it! if withdraws are life threating please go to your ER. play it safe.
