[oxypain101]

Its been 15 since i stop oxycodone and my stomach is still not right.  Now I am starting to worry and obsessing over this.  my anxiety is high because i am worried about my stomach now.  I have no cravings for the pill and just want my stomach to get back to normal.  is this burn sensation in the middle of my stomach normal??? and keep passing gas from behind and belching.  and I am going to the bathroom like 5 times and day and it is not solid.  this is annoying.  please anyone help if you have experienced the same thing at 15 days or longer

sometime it can take a month or so to get the guts back into shape, try eating less fruit and more fiber and although you could gain a few pounds pasta worked for me .. let me tell you the gas and runs were no fun and I was traveling so it mad it even worse best wishes and congrats on your battle.

Hey Dude  just checking up on you to see how its going???  keep us up to date..............................Gnarly............  OOO by the way how did the meeting go?????

[oxypain101]

Gnarly, my stomach is feeling much better today.  I actually had a normal bowel movement.  The meeting went well.  I did not talk just sat and listen.  I did introduce myself and they all welcomed me in with open arms.  I like this group better.  thanks for all your help dude.

[oxypain101]

BTW day 16!  Love it :)

[oxypain101]

I want to thank all the wrote back and helped ease my anxiety.  I know my stomach is all messed up because i am still detoxing.  Sometimes your mind gets ahead of you and you start thinking something else has to be wrong.  Stomach is feeling better today.  I actually had the most normal bowel movement in weeks the this morning.  It was not perfect but i will take it :)
anxiety is the worst on your body.  I truly hate percocet with a passion.  I hate that i took them.  I hate this worry feeling.  I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT THOSE DARN PILLS.  I was a fool to trust those pills and to allow them into my life.  Its almost impossible to take them as prescribed.  I am sure some ppl can do it, but the majority get hooked on them.  

Gnarly,  per your advice i am going to a new meeting tonight.  lets hope this one is good.  it is a church based N/A meetings.  I just hate that my life has come to this...its better than taking the pills.  thanks all

Oh Ya you're deff still going to have stomach issues. You were taking that many pills a day for 16 months. So I bet normal bowel movements didn't happen to often for you. It can take up to 6 months or more for your bowels to start working properly. I also took oxy and I had diarrhea and indigestion and heartburn for a long time. I cut back on the Imodium after the first week and only took it when I had to get through a long shift at work. This all takes time and your body will heal. You can't be stressing yourself out or it will only make all of this harder. One day at a time.

For burning type pain, OTC Prilosec should help.  It's two-fold.  It helps your symptoms but also promotes healing.  Also stay away from ibuprofen while healing; its very hard on your stomach.

Oxy,

When I c/t everytime I have done this. My stomach gives me pure hell. I drank bottles of Malox, tums you name it. I never had the issues with a lot of diarreah but burning a lot of that. I can tell you anxiety, reeks havoc on me when im in withdrawal, so yes it is probably anxiety causing a lot of that.  I just stayed deathly sick to my stomach for months and months. I hope I helped ease your mind somewhat.  Oh, and do stay off the internet, it will make you have every disease imaginable.
God Bless You

I'm at 6 weeks and still have stomach issues. They are gradually going away, but today I had to take an immodium. Anxiety can certainly affect the stomach, but so can the foods you eat. Are you getting enough of each food group? Maybe look at how much fiber and protein your getting. Greens and lean meat and cheeses can help with stuff like that too. Keep it up!

[VICourageous]

Hi.
Treatment of the person's w/d symptoms is based on understanding how w/d is related to the Brains Adjustment to Opiates.  When opiates are not present to suppress the Brain Cells (Many cells), enhanced activity in the the neurons release excessive amounts of NA, triggers the jitters, anxiety, sleep, muscles cramps and DIARRHEA.. I still think you are Adjusting and the anxiety is bringing this on more. Try some relaxing teas or vit/min. Maybe talk a walk out in the sun. Do whatever it takes to re-direct your self. However, the Imodium could be good at this time. I hope it all calms down. Hang in!

Bless

Vic,  Thanks for everything and I hate so sound like a health anxiety type person, but this is kinda bothering me.  my fear is I did damage to my stomach while taking the pills.  But i do remember having a abdominal CT scan last year because i have more fat on 1 on the right side of my bellybutton.  they just wanted to make sure it was not a hernia.  

[jifmoc]

Oxy- I remember my stomach was still upset for 44 days. I actually remember that. It was taking so long. You gotta remember, you used pills for how long? It takes way longer than 2 weeks to straighten out everything. Try and have patience. At 2 weeks, you are definitely still detoxing. Hang in there.

[oxypain101]

jifmoc...i was taking oxy for 16 months.  10-12 pills 10/325.  I know i have to be patient.  this is so annoying and uncomfortable.  thanks for reassuring me and reminding me it will take more than 2 weeks to detox.  I just want all this over.  It is terrible when i dont sleep well.  i feel defeated.  screw it i just need to wait it out and not going running to a doc and putting myself thru tests and waste money.  

[Trixie_007]

I was about to add on to my last post that your anxiety may be causing the stomach issues, but you beat me to it!  It may take the Immoidium a couple of doses to work, but I'm thinking it will help you a lot.

Consulting Doctor Google with anxiety is always a bad choice. Lol. I definitely agree that the WD's are a big part of your anxiety. It's your emotions waking up after being numb for so long. Soon, they will calm down and you'll go longer and longer without feeling so anxious.

[oxypain101]

yes dr google has really done a number on me today.  terrible.  the internet can be so dangerous sometimes

[Trixie_007]

Sorry that your stomach is still screwed. Have you taken Immoidium yet?  If not, you are so far along that taking a regular dose (ie: not handfuls) won't hurt you in the process.

I wish I could tell you whether this is the norm or not. I've always hurled rather than have the runs during WD's.  I do have a history of GI problems though. I will say that if the pain becomes extreme, get medical attention. I hope you feel better soon!

[oxypain101]

I took immoidium but not really helping.  Well i tood 2 this morning after my last bowl movement.  so i guess i should wait and see.  I think the anxiety is playing with my stomach.  I had this same feeling later Saturday and it went away.  I been kinda anxious the past few days...maybe that is causing this unsettling feeling in my stomach.  so i slept 4 hours tonight woke up and started googling...what a bad idea.  after that i couldnt fall back asleep.  I had a abdominal CT scan last year and everything came back normal.  I bet the pills controlled my anxiety and now off of them my anxiety is back up causing stomach issues.  WOW those pills are so bad for you.  they really mess you up.  unbelievable
