opiate withdrawals - 48 hours off 'em
okay...so, i'm not sure what is going on. i can only believe it is my hp. i took my last pain pill saturday at 4 pm. it has officially been 48 hours. i've had not restless legs, not creepy crawlys, no throwing up, not yawing and watery eyes. wtf is going on? i w/d from opiates about 30 times. i wanted to die when i ran out this time and out of money. i just started praying eventhough i'm not even sure what i believe. i'm a bit scared. is it still coming? i mean i've always gotten out of detox after 72 hours. has anyone else had this experience?

oh yeah & I have gone through w/ds lots of times before too. The only difference this time is I am praying more and not trying to do it myself. I am glad you posted this because I do think it is possible for someone to have an easier detox, we really don't know until we start & hopefully someone who is scared to start will read your post and give it a try.
How long and how much were you using before you quit ? Im about to quit and Im scared to death of withdrawing but you are saying that you haven't t had the horrific withdrawals?
strangely enough...i am sleeping okay. really the only symptom i'm having is some sneezing and a little twitching. thanks for your support! :)
24 days. Its been the LONGEST 24 days of my life, but it's better than trying to keep up with that damn addiction. I just couldn't do it anymore. It was getting out of control and I just couldn't afford it anymore. Plus I was almost always in w/d anyways. Are you sleeping ok? Just 2-3 more days and you will be through the worst of the physical part. You are almost there!!!:)
My withdrawals have always been dependent, and I have been through it four times since December, on how long I used unbroken and how much. This last time after using for 12 days and having been clean for the 11 prior, it was very different. In fact I had night sweats for the first time ever. Weird. This stuff really twists our bodies and minds and some withdrawals can be different. I am hoping you stay with a "easy" one. You can do it!

:) i never thought it was possible but it has been easier this time. how long have you been opiate free?
thank you, love. and no, not my normal energy level. i mean i was using pain pills to even take a bath, ya know. but anyway - i'm scared. and kind of not. i have nevvvvvvvver experienced a w/d like this. thanks for responding.
I didn't have that experience, but every quit is different. I believe anything is possible. Do you have your normal energy level too? Keep doing whatever you are doing & congratulations on 2 days!!!
