oxycontin withdrawl restless legs =(

[nickyguy]

I have been taking Oxycontin for probably the last 4 weeks anywhere from 80-160 mg a day, and in the past week I have probably ingested 400 mcg of fyntnal.  Ya I know what an idiot.  I want to lead a normal life, I'm hurting so many people.  I've kicked a hydro habit of about 20 norcos 10mgs a day in the past and it was tough, the most brutal WD symptoms were the cold sweats, waking up having to change my shirt and sheets.  But this is day 2 with no oxy/fent and let me tell you I've had 2 of the WORST nights of my life.  I've been taking about 8 norco a day just to try and alleviate some of the symptoms.  I'm usually "okay" during the day but I'm so afraid of night coming it's ridiculous.  The restless leg syndrome is so uncomfortable.  I wouldn't wish this upon my worst enemy I've probably slept 2 hours in the past 24 and and as night nears I'm beginning to worry.  I was wondering if their is anything ANYTHING anyone knows to help with this horrible symptom. I seriously move from bed to couch and back, walk back and forth in my kitchen.. trying to stop the feeling of beetles crawling from toes to thighs UGH any help would be great.  

P.S. I have no options of any benzos

Hello! Not sure about everyone else, I too am wondering about Henry and Nicky. Not sure about the other LuckyGirl. Personally, I am doing really well. Haven't touched a thing nor do I have any desire to. Got my motivation back, on a normal schedule, work is picking up, feeling healthy and great!! Just moving forward each day.

Anytime that I feel a little off physically or emotionally, I remind myself that it will still take some time to get everything back the way its supposed to be working. I am surprised how much the drugs really threw off my system. Scary business.

What happened to the people here ?  

How are you doing ? :)


If you are doing OK, come oooon, tell us !!

If you have relapsed, come oooon, tell us !!  Stand up and never give up this fighting of us, don't feel ashamed, you are sick and trying to get well....we can learn a good lesson each time, we can learn to do things better next time, don't lose the faith in yourselves, there is always a solution and we can make changes for the better, there is help for us ( NA meetings, therapists, counselors, whatever.... there is a way ) PLEASE, COME BACK :)

To the people who is reading and in active addiction, there is always hope as long as we never give up on ourselves and keep fighting for our lives, this is a war in heaven to recover our lives and our health and our soul. Maybe you are reading our posts and this is the first step that you are taking on this fight  because IT MEANS that you want to stop the madness our lives are while abusing drugs... KEEP WALKING... take the next right step and trust yourselves that you can do it   if you want it, ask for help, SAVE YOUR LIVES !!!!! And don't give a damn to the rest of thoughts and lies like "how am i going to live without my doc, my pills, my daily dose " Of course, we can live without them, this is a lie we repeat a thousand times but this doesn't make it  a truth... Please, it's a work hard but any hard work to save your lives does worth it  (  and as if active addiction were an easiest one or an easy life ....) PLEASE;  take the next right step  ..  :)
