Is cramping in my stomach normal?  Also, I feel 'flushed'... as if I have a fever.... :-( is this normal too?

[iloveny630]

Cathy, I didn't take offense :-) promise.

sorry, i didnt mean to be critical.  i was just wondering about your schedule because tapering IS really hard and you have to stick to your schedule.

[iloveny630]

I know I should be sticking to a set schedule... it is just so damn hard.  I tapered in just a few days.... 3 days I think.

[cathy5841]

sorry you are feeling all this.  but, i assure it is all apart of the w/d process.  although i didnt have fever i have read that others did.  how fast did you taper.  you said you are taking 1-2 pills per day.  on a taper schedule you should not be taking 1-2 per dy.  you should have a set amount you are taking and stick to it.  just my thoughts.  if you need anything or if i can help let me know.

It didn't even occur to me that I may actually be getting sick (and the fever is not w/d).  I've been taking just one pill a day and take 2 when I'm having severe pains.  I tapered fairly quickly b/c my doctor cut me off and I have no supply.  (Which is a blessing in itself.....)

Opiates suppress your immune system, many people get respitory infections after quitting. So be careful and take your vitamins and drink lots of water. I used ensure as well.

how fast have you tapered? are you still taking the loratabs? and if so how many? i never  had a fever when going through wd.

[iloveny630]

Lortab mainly but Oxy's when I could get them.  My dosage was about 10 pills a day.  I've tapered down and am taking about 1-2 pills a day.  My fever is around 100.  Not extremely high but it's making me feel worse.  I have been taking lortabs everyday for almost 2 years.

[mommy52713]

what were you taking how much and for how long how high is your temp?

[lostdreams]

Yep, all normal, not nice to experience but normal! However they do pass. I found lying on my belly on an electric blanket helped to a certain extent. How long have you been going through w/d's? However, as much as these feelings are horrible, they will pass and you start to get back to 'normal' again. Take care.

Thanks you guys...

I read a post on here a while back that sex is so much better once you are clean.  Man is that true!!!

[mimi1313]

I had the chills but wasn't feverish. I would just get really hot and cold.

Cramping is normal, opiates consitpate you so once you stop taking them...

Immodium works well.

Normal all the way around. I have puked for days while in withdrawl (and while using).
Feeling flush,sweats,leg cramps,total restlesness,confusion,stomach cramps,diareha and fatigue to the point you can't move are all normal w/d symptoms.
