Do opiate w/d return?

I will be 7 weeks clean tomorrow, and it feels great!! Mentally I'm still battling but it's let off enough to where I can live life happily! Anyways around day 47 I couldn't sleep, then I woke up and my stomach was a mess! Anything I eat just cause chaos just like the w/d did, now after 3 straight days of no sleep and stomach issues I feel my heart doing an off beat 2 or 3 times a day. Manly just when I'm lying down but still it gets my anxiety through the roof! When I first started w/d it did this but after a few days it went away and I don't have any heart problems so it's throwing me off can these symptoms come back couple months later?  Just sleep, stomach, and off beat heart thing for now hopefully nothing additional come along I have been sneezing a lot this week too. Any ideas??

Well I've had symptoms go away for a bit, and come back like in waves and I'm at 6 weeks. My doctor said that wasn't too unusual for being what I was on for as long as I had been on it, and that it was just my body balancing out, like when you turn on the air conditioning, but you have to keep going back and fiddling with it to get the temp just right, so you turn it up, then down, then back up, etc. til you find the right temp. That's how he explained it anyway. That could be whats happening with you? After getting several nights of good sleep, I suddenly couldn't sleep for 3 or 4 nights, had upset stomach again, sweating and sneezing again too. It didn't last long, just a couple days, so hold on and see if it runs its course! Congrats on 7 weeks and keep it up!

No never any chest pains, just everyone and then like mainly at night time when I start settling down it will do a hard thump and then be done. Won't happen again for rest of the night. I hope it is a bug

It wouldn't hurt to go get checked out. Are you having pains in your chest or just irregular heart beats? Don't really want to mess around when it comes to your heart. Your tummy could be a flu bug. But it can take 6 months to a year for your bowels to get back to normal. I'm sorry you're going through this,I'm so proud of your 7 weeks clean though!! Oxy was my doc so I know how hard it is.

Yes I would think its normal. The sneezing is weird,maybe you're getting a cold? I did sneeze for weeks though. But since yours went away it's hard to say. But the other stuff,Ya it sounds normal. Are you taking any other meds? Or new ones doc has put you on?
