Opiate withdrawal????

[rtal394]

What the heck is wrong with me?  I have been on percocet and vicodin for only 2 months.  I was on percocet for a month (7.5-30mg oxy/day varied), the vicodin for 2 weeks (5 mg.  went through 50 in 2 weeks), then percocet for another month 2-7.5 tabs a day.  Went to 1 pill for 2 days last week, then stopped Monday.  Diarrhea ever since.  Highs and lows.  Sometimes I am on the verge of tears for no reason.  Last Thursday I took 1 just to feel a little better because I had an explosive outburst of tears.  I still feel like **** 1 week later.  Is this normal?  After 2 months of use, wouldn't I be better in a couple days?  This sucks.  I feel hopeless and have no ambition.  My nights of sleep suck too.

Hey I'm new just jumping in here. I'm on my fourth day withdrawal from vicodin for 2 years. The worst, and I do mean worst is over. You know the hopelessness.  But I'm still suffering from depression and tired all the time. I Have also been taking phentermine diet pills for about 5 years now. Not as often since I started the vicodin. I'm  taking them everyday again now just for the energy to pick my children up from school. Will I have withdrawal from this too? Help somebody tell me I won't have to do this again.

I am so glad to hear from several people they can kick the opiate drugs.  My daughter is in rehab as we speak for the 4th time, this time she put herself there, before it was court ordered.  I have always been told heroine is the hardest to kick. But some of you really make me feel better.  I am proud of all of YOU, even though I don't know you I do know it takes alot to get to where you are. I would appreciate any response you might have and any ideas on how I can continue to support my daughter.  Thanks

Withdrawing from opiates has to have been one of the hardest and most psychologically enduring things I have ever done in my life!  Six months ago I finally got off methadone after a 7 year addiction, then relapsed back onto heroin/cocaine ('speedballs') back in May/June.  Finally had it (almost overdosed 3 times) and me and a friend checked ourselves into rehab to detox (5 to 7 day detox, getting you goosed up on librium, vistirol, calonipin, trazadone, doxipin etc;, etc;).  I'm now on day 9 and feel alright, having really intense drug dreams which suck but overall, not too bad. Finally figured out I have to go to NA!!!  You just can't beat this by yourself, there's no way in hell!  I felt good when I relapsed, life going well, good job (now that's gone)so you never know when your former 'druggie' self is gonna come back and bite you on the ass! I can honestly say that today I won't use, and take it day-to-day...I can't go back, won't go back!!!!!!  Everyone take care....
