14 days today off the oxys. Physically feeling better but mentally I feel like a yo-yo. My connection ran dry. 12-15 a day. Someone please tell me things get better. If I had one now I would take it! It's CRAZY! I know in the long run life will be better but it's a bitch to say the least. Encouraging words appreciated
If opis are something you can't live without, then they are probably something you should do without for a while. They should enhance your life, not make it painful. You can get back to that, you can regain control. Good luck.
i agree with softball ive been off 24 hours exactly since 8 this mornin with a 200+ a day oxymorphone habbit plus 40mg oxy a day on top of that. I havnt even had a 'full' comedown or been dopesick in a year so i know the next 24 hours of my life are going to be so fuckd. not to discredit your w/d's but people have it a lot worse than you and me, it probably will be another full month until you feel almost 100% mentally.
ya i say a month from now with your habbit you should be fine with the occasional random fiend for some opies out of no where, but after a month its much easier to control than where your at now.
forever. for me the worst was over in a week. At the end of 7-9 days. Then continued chills and insomnia/waking up in cold sweats all through the night...lack of energy and basic cold symptoms lasted for about another week and a half. That's when my mindset really started to improve because my body felt good again, and I was happy that I could feel normal without opiates. But it's gonna be a struggle for a while.
I've known a lot of people in the same situation. Some say it's best to get involved with a group of people who are in the same boat for mutual support, and to keep each other sober. I don't know, for some it might work, but what sometimes happens is the reverse. They sit around and talk about getting high, and before you know it they want to go out and get high. I've also heard that exercise can promote the release of certain chemicals in the brain that are also released when you take drugs. And I've heard of kind of a strange one on these forums. Some people swear that taking healthy doses of Immodium relieves wd's to a great extent. I do know several people who have come back from serious addictions and are fine today. One thing you will have to do, though, is avoid people and situations that will tempt you. That's probably the hardest part.
im 19 days clean from doing speedballs for about a month straight, how i didnt die i dont know...anyway..... i felt like shit for days, my mind is still going like a yo yo all over the place. ill be incredibly happy one min, then next ill be terribly depressed, the next anxious, then antsy, and so on. so i feel your pain man. best piece of advise i can give you is DONT! i repeat, DONT! hang out with the same people if your trying to get straight. i know for me i left rehab and hung out with the same people, bang! litterally.... my life got totally fucked up because of dope etc, but im hoping that by me saying this atleast youll know your not alone in feeling like a basketcase. cuse i totally do!
Thx for all the feedback! Going on week 3 and things are getting better. Physically feeling better but the MIND GAMES that shit plays on you is hard. I thought alcohol was hard to kick but this is hard. I'm hopeful though. It's a prison like feeling I do not want to go back to. I'll keep you posted. Thx again for the support.
>pillhead Well, that shows a clear misunderstanding of the forums... >I hope you burn in hell motherfucker Aside from your grammatical errors, it's obvious you have some resentment... Dad got high on "Vics" and beat you? Mother was zoned out on Valium and never showed you attention? You pick, when you get down to brass tacks, it's all the same. Newsflash: You're problems are not the world's problems.... nor are they the culprit every time. You are not unique, you are not special. The sooner you realize this, the easier life will be. Good luck, friend.
