Opiate wd symps last forever?

[whathefu_k]

1st of all, I read a lot of posts on here almost daily and most of you people are great. Thank you.
I really wish I could help some of you-your stories are heartwrenching and I know life was not meant to be lived miserably.  I used to abuse oxy's on and off for about 2 years. I haven't done anything in 3 weeks now. By anything, I mean anything. No cigarette, no beer, not doodly squat. In some respects now I feel great. I feel strong and lately have been eating and working out like a superhero. But some of this wd stuff is not seeming to stop. 1. I almost always have a headache- and it sucks 2. My underarms continue to sweat at an extremely aggrivating rate- antiperspirant no help 3. A lot of my hair fell out while I was abusing - it doesn't seem to be coming back. I feel like it may. Anybody know anything about this? 4. When I wake up in the morning for several hours my eyes look red. They were never like this before my oxy period. People, please add your knowledge of these 4 subjects.

On a side note: To those of you that are currently trying to quit: It is worth it. Things will get better. Your life can be good again. If you make it to 15 days- you are straight (don't believe it only takes 4-5 days) and when you do make it : DON'T GO BACK

Hi.  I am 58 days clean, and I still have the armpits sweating problem, just like you.  I posted a question to this as well yesterday. It literally runs down my arms and off my elbows.  Aggravating isn't the word! Antiperspirants dosen't do squat, and I use the kind lasherslaugh recommended to you.  I'm also noticing the hair falling out, although that didn't start until after detox.  It's not alot, but it's more than my usual shedding.  I wish that I has some answers for you, (us) but I just wanted you to know that your not alone with this.  I'm glad that your able to excercise, this is very good.  I haven't got the steam to do much of anything yet. Hang in there, sounds like your doing very well otherwise :)

Also, I went to my Dr the other day for a check-up.  He did a lot of blood work, and I'm awaiting the results.  Perhaps a check-up wouldn't hurt?

Ypur hair will come back as soon as all the toxins in your body are gone,and by working out like you do,you'll sweat them out faster. And eat lots of fruits and veggies LOL. I'm sure you weren't eating very healthy foods when you were using.And the eye stoned look will pass with time,for now try Visine if you have to go out.Now this is going to sound real weird and will take a man with a lot of "Who Gives a **** Attitude"to do this, but shave your pits and apply an industrial amount of "soft solid" type of men deodorant, not gel but creamy kind.The container will have small holes on the top where the deodorant comes out and you twist the bottom.Also, at some point you mat get depressed,so if you do, try an antidepressant as soon as you start feeling depressed because they take six weeks to work. I've been battling with methadone for 9 years and I still can't take life without it but I am tapering off, hope I can or I just wont bother with either anymore. I hope you do well,your already on the right track. I don't know how old you are,but if your still in your twenties, stay off this **** and don't look back. I'm in my thirties and haven't lost my looks (only God knows why).So stay off because mes tend to age faster on drugs. No offence, sorry.
