It helps if we know your Drug of choice and at what dosages you were taking daily.

Niki,

You are just now starting(sorry to have to tell you that), things will prolly get worse before they get better. But all you can do is keep pushing forward, you WILL be ok it just takes a few days, keep focused on the fact that this is what you want, stay strong. Hot baths/showers can help, try to eat(I know it can be tough to do) I found bananas to be good because they were easy on the stomach and filling. Melatonin works well if you have problems getting rest. There is alot of other things you can do to help ease some of the w/d's do some more reading on here and keep posting, it will help you! =D

Hang in there....you've made it three days....you've probably hit the worst...it can only get better.  Sweating and shivering are just those terrible withdrawals.  Try taking Advil or Ibuprofen if you have it.  It could only help, I would think.   Just remember...it won't last forever..:)

No, not pain pills since Fri. I went on a pill spree, anything to get high. This is the longest since Fri i have not taken anything

Are you going through withdrawals from pain pills?  How many were you currently taking daily?
