How to stop the pain of opiate withdrawal?

What is it called

When I was reading your statement and i would have wrote the same thing. you see a doctor and it goes good for a while, all along you are thinking hey i finally found a doctor that understands. Then all of a sudden your next visit the doctor thinks your cured and this is the last script I will be writing for you. I really wish,as you do, that they can walk a day in my shoes and see how fast they would realize how hard it is to live a life of pain. IT SUCKS!!!!!

Talk to your doctor right away there are safer drugs to take and then they can slowly wean you off that drug which will be safer for your baby!! Because babies born on narcs go through horrible withdrawal including seizures!

Lyrica. If you have never taken it, start with 100MG and in 2 hours if no relief then take another 100MG and keep this us until you find relief. You may feel drunk, if you have never taken it.

 

If you DO take lyrica, then I myself use 400mg at 7am, 400mg at 1pm, 600mg at 9pm 

I have had NO withdrawal symptoms, 4 days after cold turkey off oxy. I also used it in lower doses to taper down before jumping off.

I AM NOT A DOCTOR, THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE MEDICAL ADVICE. SEEK ADVICE FROM YOUR DOCTOR.

Hello, my name is Brandan And i have been addicted to opiot's for 2 years... I was 16 when i first started taking hydros for my feet and then i found they gave me a happy buz type feeling... From  there i have gone from oxy to heroin and i am 19... I was tricked into snorting heroin when i was 17... I have since gotten off of heroin and been off for almost a year after relapse time and time again. I Never shot up but i was so bad i actually thought about it when i was sick. I am now back to Oxy, Hydro, Opana, Perks and so on... I have been getting my own from the doctors but now my dock is in a coma and i am truly out until the 12th and it is the 10th i have been going with out since 20th... I feel like this is no better then heroin because im still searching, stealing, selling, lieng just to get pills just to feel normal. Im so scared of that feeling of chills and sweat! I spend over 300 bucks just to get them i pay extra so they will sell them to me only and so i know i will have them. This is a terrible sickness and for any parents out there please let you kid know you care and how much you love them if they are going threw this. It helps more then one could know.

 

BUT ANYWAYS, I am here to tell you that if you are going threw this your best beat is to get yourself some muscle relaxers, Tramadol, "Tramadol is amazing for withdrawing " You will not feel chills and you will feel calm. Also Some night time sleep aid cough syrup, Imodium, And well... Alcohol of your choice. It will relax you but just dont over due it. I know this feeling all to well It is so familur to me now that i dont even take any thing to help with it at times, But just know you will get better stay home if you can or a place that you can lay down and not do any thing. Watch some movies buy some good food and do things that would give you exitment and joy. As lame as this sounds it works. You will not want to do it but if you push your self to go buy something like a new game and some food and a movie, when you get home and sit down you will feel less crappy.  Also Popsicle's and smokes help. Also remember you are not alone other like myself are going threw it aswell and if you can quit stay off of them no matter how tempting just always remember how bad the feeling of withdrawal are and you should be ok, Now if your like me and have pain from back problems neck problems and feet... Well then you may need to find new ways to get ride of pain as i am doing. Please pray for me people and i will pray for each and every one of you all. We can beat this people, Remember we have a life ti live and it is ours not this drug. God luck stay safe and stay clean. Much love.

Shooting pains in feet and legs. Extremely restless and miserable  Does anyone know what is going on with me? Or been through it? PLEASE HELP I would never take another pain pill but damn this sucks!

Hey Ritchie:) Rescue remedy is bach flower extract - sometimes mixed with a smidgen of alcohol.

. I wish i actually got some kind of euphoria from opiates to at least make the withdrawal worthwhile - but unfortunately they just do what they are designed for; ease pain! Maybe that makes me lucky in some ways - in that i don't have to deal with the psychological withdrawal in addition to physiological. I'll definitely be careful not to run out in the future... that's for sure!!!!:O

ohhh i see my web address for bach flower wasn't posted - i hadn't read the TOU. Go to google and search either rescue remedy or bach flower:) All the best:) xx

suboxone works for me

i have been addicited to opiates for a little over a year. i started out with 30mg roxi and quickly progressed the 5, 10, 20, 30, 40mg opanas. the 20, 30 and 40 before they were reform. and i cant lie it was such a good time. but my "doctor" ran out of opana. the next day at work i felt sicker than i EVER had been. then it dawned on me. withdraw. i desperatly tried mind over matter but the phtsical symptoms were to strong. i couldnt move and i couldnt sit. id pace for hours then sit with no ease of the pain. at night i couldnt stretch my legs like the muscle wouldnt stretch. it was horrible. i found that a simple perc 10 or even vicodin for that matter would ease the pain and bring me back to normal sobriety. event though people say you wont withdraw untill your opiate free, the little ones like percoset brought my withdraw level to a more bareable state over time. but i have tried tramadol or ultrams, suboxone or vicodin and percs are what got me detoxed without withdrawing.

So I ordered the rescue remedy and I can't wait for it to arrive. I will try just about anything to help with WD. From what I read about it, it sounds amazing. I hope it isn't too good to be true. Thanks, ozmonto for the suggestion. I will let you know how it works out for me. Best of luck to all!

I WAS ON FENTYNAL 25MCG. AND LORTAB 10MF X 4 MY PAIN WAS STILL UNBEARABLE. I WENT TO A PAIN CLINIC AND THE DOCTOR GOT ME IN A STUDY ON SPINAL CORD STIMULATERS. I HAD THE PROCEEDURE DONE ON 7/5/20012, I QUIT THE FENTYNAL PATCH THAT DAY. I AM SLOWLY COMING OFF THE LORITAB. MOST OF MY PAIN IS GONE. GO FOR THE STIMULATER.. I GOT RID OF CLOSE TO 90% OF MY PAIN. I AM USING A BOSTON SCIENTIFIC DEVICE. GOKD BLESS YOU AND GOOD LUCK

I have a relative withdrawing from vicodin and is making a decision to finally quit after two and Half years but doesn't know if he should go to methadone clinic or doctor for suboxone?

No, do not go the methadone or suboxone route. Hydro is a weak opiod with a short half life of 4 hours. Those two have half lifes of 72 hrs and take a long time to withdraw from. Going cold turkey is the best way to detox from Hydrocodone. It's gonna suck,but he'll feel a lot better around 72 hours.

I have been on here reading everyone's posts and it is good to know I'm not alone. I only used Hydrocodone 10/650 4 to maybe 6 times a day. Then I got Hydro 5/500 for a week then I did cold turkey. I could have easily done more but I didn't have the way to get them. So the I took last one at night, the next day was terrible!! I couldn't move or do anything. I have a 4 yr old and a 11 yr old,neither knows.Good for me my toddler is good.He watched cartoons while I rested.Then that night I cried for hours feeling like a terrible mother etc...had rls,runs, etc...now 48 hours I feel alot better. My stomach is messed up and I cant take immodium cuz I'm on penicillan for another infection.So I'm trying to deal. Going to call my dr about that though. Hopefully I sleep tonight,insomnia doesnt bother me if my legs would stop.Sneezing alot and funny that I see others did too. I thought I had a cold coming on.I am taking Nyquil and Dayquil for any aches but I only took it earlier. Guess Im one of the luckier ones who got hooked on the weaker pain pill...I'm praying for everyone.Your posts are inspiration and motivation for me :)
