So I've finally decided to kick the stuff.....

Last Saturday was the last day I touched anything (4mgs Dilaudid). I had a bit of a tollerance, before getting that I had been doing 100mgs of morphine everyday for about a week or two, but i've been doing opiates for almost a year (this is the longest i've ever gone) just for a general idea of my history....so anyway, its day 6 and i'm still getting stomach pains and achey joints occasionally, and i'm INCREDIBLY stressed out. I just want to know how long you guys think i'll be in for this tourtue? I'm really hoping it's only another 2 or 3 days. So if anyone has had experience with withdrawls from pain killers, let a brotha know!

But im determined to stop for good because all this stuff is doing is interfearing with my personal life (family, girlfriend) and i've lost numerous jobs just becasue i was too junked out to go. Wish me luck 'folks!

 

oh man do I feel ur pain and know exactly what ur going thru. I've been doin pain killers steady for about 3 yrs now and have been thru some serious withdrawls. well your definitely gonna feel it for about 2 weeks. the worst should be over after the first week then it comes down to just being stressed out, a little jittery, mild body discomfort, and worst of all the mental part. hopefully you do stop for good cuz the only thing these pills do is fuck shit up. another thing to is your nerves are probably going crazy which is irretating.
Medicine you should buy: -Immoduim AD in the bottle
-Alieve (Reg & PM'S)
If you do benzos get some xanax they will take the edge off and put your ass out when you feel really bad. If you smoke, get yourself sum really nice buds and just ride the storms.
**~MOST IMPORTANT~**
When you r detoxin you have to stay away from people who use and if that is something you can't avoid then i'd advise you to keep your distance from those people especially when their high. For me the hardest part is the mental aspect of it, i've been doin the pills for so long that i've forgotten how to live a normal life. Every thing revolves around wether or not i have a pill for the day. And that includes work, i cant count how many times i made up an excuse to call out because i didn't have a pill for the day and if i went to work sick i'd be useless so i just stayed home.
I really wish you all the luck in the world cuz lets face it your gonna need it. As long as you have faith in your self and your reasons for quitting are things your willing to fight for then you at least have a fighting chance.
I don't wanna sugar coat it and it won't be easy i just hope that this little bit of advice and experience can help you in some way. Just remember your not alone and if you need any more advice just ask. GOOD LUCK!!

 

to the OP :

Stomach pains and achy joints on day 6? You fucking pussy.

Starting on day 2 without opiates, I get diarrhea (running to the toilet every 30 minutes to piss out of my ass), pain all over, stomach cramps, cold sweats, hotflashes, I can't sleep, I shake uncontrollably, my pupils get dilated as fuck so I can't go in the sun or they fucking hurt like a bitch, I have absolutely NO energy, I'm dizzy, can't concentrate on anything, can barely put together a coherent sentence because I can't remember simple basic words, I sweat bad when I sleep so I wake up freezing cold in the middle of the night like 8 times soaking wet (IF I get to sleep at all) THIS BULLSHIT lasts for 5 days before I can't stand it anymore and I need to get more just so I can act like a semi-human being again and not like fucking Gollum from Lord of the Rings. I don't even know how long it would last if I didn't get more shit, but probably like 2-3 weeks at LEAST.

AND thats not even the end of the list of symptoms I get, but you get the point. Stick it out, wuss.

 

^ TWIZZ be nice everyone goes through w/d's differently. yes the same symptoms occur in everyone but at different degrees and severities

 

good luck dude

 

Your already in the clear, your just on the last leg, no point given up now. GOOD LUCK MAN

 

Thanks everyone....

And fuck you dude. I was just giving a mild overview of what i was just experiencing at the time.

But, of course your the bigger man, you have the worse withdrawls than me....think about it dude.

All I wanted to know is how long this kind of thing might last. This has been my first, and last true attempt at kicking. Before you start pointing the finger it's best to take a cold hard look at yourself, or you might be getting a finger pointed right back, probably the middle.

 

Good luck man. As for me personally, I don't really get sick (as in nauseous) and my bowels don't get affected. I do get the horrible muscle crsmpd tho, never feeling comfortable.

There's also an intense malaise. That kind of, "shiiit, how am I even gonna down to the shops without a hit?

This tends to last about 3 days for me. Mind you I never inject, and have a big seven hour gap during each day (filled with employment lol)..

But good luck, you can do it. Other people have and do, why shouldn't you be able to?

 

Apparently your dumb ass is the little fucking pussy, seeing as you need opiates so you don't hurt. Burn!

Good luck to the OP, but you gotta really want to stop to stop.
