If you or someone close to you needs help for a substance use disorder, talk to your doctor or call SAMHSA’s National Helpline at 1-800-662-HELP or go to SAMHSA’s Behavioral Health Treatment Services Locator at findtreatment....

This is my first day off wish me luck
Tomorrow i will discontinue using fentanyl . I m soo scared . I have Lofexidine ,Loperamide and xanax .
How many days it will need to pass the hardest symptoms . I wanna be able to go back to my work ( i m a physician and my speciality is Intensive care medicine )
.We dont have suboxone or methadone therapy in Egypt .
@@muhammadsaadawi2440 it's so intense get on methadone and detox the right way nice and slow
24 yr old male addict here, um I love every single one of you going through any of this I love you so very much.
How you doing Carlos?
@Salvadore Orozco oh god I’m having the worst sweating and my skin is so sensitive...I have 7 days off from work so you think that’s enough time to be down with the worst of it?
24 as well still recovering from my acl surgery but ran out of percs and I feel terrible wish i had a warning before because I never took real drugs
@@Kingshvwn get some Kratom, it is amazing how much it stops the withdrawals. Just get enough for 3 weeks or so, maybe 350 grams. After 2 weeks taper down so just small teaspoons a couple of times a day.
It’s my second day withdrawing and I’m 19 I gotta job interview tomororw at noon and it’s 11:30 I can’t sleep at all and my broken wrist that was fixed hurts so bad
Day 4 is hell after 5 years of being addicted.. literally pain and aching everywhere! It'll be worth it in the end.
Any words of wisdom for those that need help?
@@porscheaaron2537 oh man, not sure I'm the guy for advice right now, had a bit of a relapse today, so I would suggest actually following a programme with a health professional because I always seem to fail when I go it alone, like today.. good luck..
@@saxonmckenzie9260 stay strong and focused...good luck
You Can do it. By day 6or 7 will be easier
@@ColorMeRado thank you so much ❤️
I feel like dying. Just the first night cold turkey and my temperature is fucked. Constantly freezing with goosebumps and cold just end up in a puddle of sweat every couple hours I wake up can’t go back to sleep. This the worst thing I’ve ever went thru. Wouldn’t wish it upon my worst enemy. Wish me luck and please pray for me.
How are you today?
Good luck guys
Dam man I'm sorry you guys are going threw this only thing that semi helps is taking hot bath every hour or so but it's gonna be a struggle
@Mini Marcle how did it go???? Methadone or sub , which one better???
Clonidine!,,,,!,,,,,,,
I've been addicted to opiates since I came back from Iraq when i was in the army. After the va took me off oxys I got on herion. Tonight is the end of day 3. Keep me in your prayers day 4 will be easier.
Update made it. Its been 15 days
How are you doing? You made it 15 days, so I’m sure you made it further, I hope so.
Hope you are doing well stranger
I am on day 3, haven’t slept in 3 nights and am miserable.
Hey vet ! How You doing today ,i hope You are doing rok..thanks for your service to the country ...!
I'm going through withdrawals right now. My entire body is shaking and I feel extremely nauseous, I can barely walk because my legs hurt so much. I don't know how I'm gonna manage to live without percs, but I'm sure I'll figure it out. Stay the f away from drugs please everyone I wouldn't wish this upon my worst enemy.
@B. L. Yes, I'm doing fine right now. The problem now is the bad cravings I'm getting. At least I don't feel sick anymore. I'm now working hard on my sobriety I really don't want to relapse this time.
@@isaak1748 Did you take anything for the withdrawal symptoms?
@@summerdays360 I didn't, I actually went cold turkey.
@@isaak1748 so here I am about to do the thing.... I'm so scared.. God knows I am. But at what point does the withdrawal leave ?
@@caseyluna777 yes it does. In about a week.
Hey 👋 I'm on day 7 today from addiction codeine for 20 years, day 4 and 5 and 6 I nearly ended my life I felt so mentally unwell and physically, after lots of support online im feeling more positive and cant wait to get through this ❤
Tomorrow I start my journey! I'm scared but I know I have to do this.I really want to do this. God Bless you on your journey
@@bellatindale3120 Hi Bella, im on day 13 today and just want to say omg its been soooooooo hard mentally, anxiety levels have been really bad for me but just yesterday and today I have had moments when I'm back to my normal self!!! Even though I'm not sure what that is anymore but I know its a hundred times better, I still struggle at 3am every morning with upset tummy through to 7am and appetite poor still, ive been referred to mental health team but tbh by the time appt comes through im hoping I would have got through the worst because day 4 and 5 I really didn't want to be here, you are doing brilliant, remember you are deep in the thick of it!!!!!we will be like the phoenix rising from the ashes!!! Not long keep focused and positive we WILL DO THIS!!!!and be so grateful we have and proud xxxx
I was taking codeine for nine years. I'm currently on day 4. Day 2 was the worst. I had severe vomiting and diarrhoea. I'm hoping there is a end to this..
Ive been on and off tramadol for around 16 year.. im 36, had a toothache once, someone gave me one and that was it.. im on day 4 sober, been here any times before, dont know why i do it to myself.. the best advice to give is that it just dorsnt last forever, my girlfriend or family dont know about my problem though and id rather not say anything, pretty hard to hide though lol.. just thonk positive whoever is going through it, youre not alone and it WILL get better
Oh and did you manage to stay sober? I hope so..
Just got over the worst withdrawals of my life. All the stuff out there now is laced with Fentanyl which is 50+ times more potent than Heroin. I just kicked a 10 year long habit. I almost died. Dry heave so bad I was puking blood and bile. Fever, chills felt like my frail body was laying over slabs of ice. Felt like 1000 knives being stabbed through my entire body. Cravings so bad I was literally shaking with convulsions. Ambulance came just in time as I was choking on my own puke. Don’t ever ever ever EVERRRRRRRRRRRR get involved with smack.
Hope your feeling better Frankie
Bryan Burnap Thank you very much 🙏 For Your kind words, they have had a very positive impact on my emotions right now, and it couldn’t all have come been a better time. I want you to know that I certainly appreciate you being down to earth and a nice support system for me, very much appreciated. I need all the help and support and words of encouragement that I can get.
I just want you to know, thank you again. Anytime you ever wanna discuss anything with me, just remember I’m not judge mental and I am a very good listener, anything!
As from what it seems, we both have been through quite the mental ringer in the past 10 years or so. I am here for you bud, anytime, anyplace. I made a new friend today, and I’m very grateful for that!
Sincerely, Frankie G
@@frankiegee6135 oh for sure brother !! Your never alone. You sound alot like me. I like trying to help people anyway I can cause Ive been to the bottom myself and people have helped me along the way. Plus it helps me as well. Helps me get out of myself and helps me with my struggles as well. We need to stick together to get through this. Drop me a line anytime. TH-cam is pretty much the only social media type thing I do. I have a Facebook account but haven't been on in like a year. Im all set with that right now. So holla anytime and keep battling
You sound pretty much just like me. I have a Facebook account but I haven't bothered with that in over a year or 2. Its all just crap. I do love me some youtube though. I'll keep in touch for sure and I appreciate ya. Where are you from ? Im from Worcester Mass. Bout 30 miles from Boston.
Bryan Burnap I keep going back and forth it doesn’t make any sense. I’ll go through detox get on my subs and still use. Well this is it, going on day 3 again of detox and I’m an at rock bottom.
I came out of rehab today... I don't want that heroin life back its a living hell... I should have never tried it.
I am powerless over it, may god help me to stay clean ,_/\_
Hope your doing well Nitish !!
Stay strong you can do it
Best wishes to you and stay strong and don't give in to that life because it only leads to destruction and despair. Look at what you've been through and life can be so much better for you. The skies the limit. Change you're contacts, you're old friends because the only one that can make that decision is yourself and keep up the good work.
been there for 12 years
I'm clean now
people are like “why do people keep relapsing” and then have no idea what withdrawal is 😭
I’m only on day 2 but it’s very painful, my back and arms hurt. my nose is running and im coughing like a chain smoker I regret the day I started but im so glad I decided to stop. Good luck to you all🙏🏾
I remember going through all that! I hope you’re doing well and have been able to continue! It gets better.
Get some agmatine sulfate for the withdrawal and magnesium citrate for the rsl. The agmatine sulfate took away most of my withdrawal. Google it. It really does work. Even for the post acute withdrawal
..
Hey there! Hope you’re still holding strong! ❤❤
I’m just on day 2 today how long did it take you?
Sorry for the lack of response, relapse but after a week it got better and after 2.5 weeks it was only cravings after the 1.5 month mark cravings went away. Now I’ve been op free for almost 8 full months
Currently on to day 6 of what has to be my 6th or 7th attempt at getting clean, My situation speaks to how strong withdrawal can be because for the past 3 months i have been quitting for around the first 5 or 6 days before using again, and today is one of the hardest days i have experienced. I kept a diary (and i would suggest doing the same) and in it is all my thoughts and feelings both prior to using again and also about the guilt i felt afterwards, the disappointment etc. To help me stay strong, i read these entries all the while trying to avoid going to the shop to get more.
This is the hardest thing some people will experience in a long time, but you can get through it with support from friends and family, but honestly try keeping a journal about your journey and use it to empower your decisions. Good luck
So you really never had pain in your back ,hip and legs that one of the main reason people take opiate ,people like you make life difficult for the people that have real pain.
What is the name of the stuff to help u with the withdrawals
@@hardcandy7112 Define real pain, and whilst we are at it how many reasons for abuse of a substance can you think off? because from where i'm sat Pain is just one of them. and for the record pain was what got me started on codeine. I don't see any literal example of me making life harder for you. Its certainly not my fault codeine works the way it does.
@@babyfoot5749 I know there are a few things you can take to help with withdrawal, but i cant remember the names of them off the top of my head, I didnt take anything with mine just a small dose of paracetamol for the aches and plenty of water and rest for the first 4 days. It got easier after that although i experienced a spike in the withdrawal at around day 6 /7 (but thats because i was using every 6 or 7 days whilst trying to quit) Sorry i cant be of any more help
@@TheScragglyMan Let me explained , I was diagnosed with a Bad hip in 2008 , so I was place on Fentanly patch 25/5075/100 for about a year and Percocet 10/325 , so after I got my new hip , I had a problem HOOK on FENTANLY, Plus have lower lumbar l4l5 and hip prosthesis Stryker ''recalled , had me worry to death , I try to get of the fent a monster of withdrawal , so I said f--k this and put the patch back , remember fentanly was new in 2010 , not to many doctor wanted to detox back then , make a short story , it took me 14 month to wean of that fentanly but I'm still suffering the side effect of 11 years on fentanyl , and now the situation with crack down on opiate , you are basically left in the wood with the pain in lumbar and withdrawals of the fentanyl , but nobody give a hoot about other people's pain. right now im feeling withdrawal.
You guys are not alone, where ever you are, we understand you guys. We care you. Hang in there stay strong brothers and sisters.
I’m going through day 2 and I’m miserable I need some encouragement 🥺

Can I ask a question, with withdrawals I’m on day 20 I was feeling fine then boom all of a sudden I felt like ass all over is this common ?
@@sneakerfreaker8843 just hang in there and remember we love you
@@sneakerfreaker8843 depend what drug you are kiking cuz if its methadone or subuxone you will on that road for weeks or months the others opiods ain't to bad ,it could take days or weeks but not months ok.
I was on tramadol for severe pain and fibromyalgia took it for 3 years without realizing I would withdraw. The day I found out I was pregnant, I quit. I had horrible withdraw. Didn't even know what was happening thought I had the flu. I Can tell you by 4 days it's way better and by 7 you feel physically normal again. Stay on course you can do it
Hi, I've been on tramadol for 3 years now ever since a car crash that nearly ended me.
Im on day 3, legs and knees are killing me and trying to sleep is hard as my feet won't stop moving? 😂😂 Any advice?? I was under the impression this might last weeks.....
@@leebrook3252 go get some anti diarrea medicine and take 4 pills before sleep don't take more than 6 a day, it sits on your receptors and helps with rest less legs, drink lots of water. Also some rest less legs stuff, take ib profin 800 mlg until your pain starts to subside in a couple days. Avoid acetaminophen at all costs for a couple months. Hang in there you can do it! Praying for ya, your past the worst part.
@@ColorMeRado at first I thought I must have vertigo the way my head was feeling. It was as if the body and mind wasn't exactly in tune and it took a couple of seconds to catch up when moving of that makes sense?
Thanks for the advice, how are you getting on?
@@leebrook3252 I am careful about pain meds now, it took probably a good 2months to go back to normal. Tramadol it's an anti depressant as well so don't be surprised if it makes you extremely happy or sad getting off it. Thank you for asking. You can do it! If I can anyone can cause I'm the biggest baby when it comes to pain and not feeling good.
@@ColorMeRado thanks! All the best 👍👍👍
I’m 4 years clean and I suffer from cravings to this day. Please never ever take pain meds!!! I wish I stayed free. I feel trapped and bound
I’m going through day 2 and I’m miserable I need some encouragement ,
You’ll get through this. I promise. One day at a time. TRUST ME ❤️
How come none of the opioid withdrawal videos on TH-cam talk about the Restless stuff that makes you feel like you're going crazy because you can't sit still and lie down from more than 7 Seconds without jumping up out of bed freaking out and shaking the cramps off that's the absolute worst thing about withdrawal .I can handle puking and pooping but there's nothing like being on the brink of mania and being so tired and having to jump up every 10 seconds just to shake off the cramps that are taking over your whole body for 3 days straight and the only thing that helps is maybe a hot shower but how many showers can you take in a day
I swear,ur legs hurt so bad
My legs would shake so restlessly. I couldn't sleep my body would just gitter and flinch.
@@dcc-randomstorieswithmel7424 omg yes I’m on day 2 And I got restless leg syndrome omg and I’m sweating like crazy
I honestly find that one of the hardest parts to but I think I hate the vomiting the most. As soon as your done throwing up it makes you break out into the worse sweat ever, making you have to grab a towel and dry off and get now clothes or jump right into the shower. But getting out of the shower is also a horrible feeling. Hard to dry off when your coverd in goosebumps and sweating.
A hundred hot baths...
I wish it felt like the flu. Reality its horrible anxiety. Even sitting or laying down trying to watch a movie makes you want to jump out of your skin. No sleep for days, by day 4 your digging in your car looking to see if you can find a dropped pill somewhere, or wherever you kept your stash. Sneezing, diarrhea, no appetite. But if you white knuckle through it, by day 12 big difference.
I'm on day 3. If anyone sees this I'm telling you. Get up and move. The sun is your best friend. Just walk do something you will notice it makes you feel better.

Insomnia was the hardest part for me. 10 days without losing consciousness for a second. A tremendous fear and paranoia came over me making simple tasks like grocery shopping and getting ready to leave the house scary as hell. My mind became a confusing mess, could not decide on an item at the store or what to do with myself. Went to a trusted family member's place because I felt I needed to be around people. He handed me a tablet to busy myself with and I was horrified when I looked at it and couldn't make any sense of it. Couldnt read even because I couldn't hold the letters in place. I realized later I was hallucinating by then but at the time I thought irreversible damage had been done. I'd lie in bed at night after another long 24hr day, close my eyes, exhausted, and feel an electric buzz in my eye lids and knew there was no way I'd sleep again that night either. I could hardly keep my head up after 5 days. My first nap lasted a half hour. Woke up soaked in cold sweat (January, Canada, I like the windows open). There would be no more sleep that day and off to work. Sleep began to come in fits and starts after that. Sweat subsided. Then the boredom and depression set in for months after that. Surviving the acute, insomnia part, and I imagine terribly enhanced pain if that's the reason you're on it in the first place, likely the battle of your life (cold turkey method) doesn't necessarily put one in the clear. Watch out for that second phase which is a different kind of mind game. I made it only to fall back in it. Tried methadone👎, switched to suboxone👍, weaned down to my current daily dose of .5 mg. Excited to be so close. Excited to not have to go to the clinic and pharmacy so often like it's a part time job. Seeking help from others that have been through it highly recommended.

I have been on fentanyl for 3 years today m 5 months clean feeling amazing it was very hard time for me
Did you have diarrhea for a couple weeks?
Im trying again tomorrow what did you do for withdrawal
Why were you put on Fentanyl for 3 years , were you that sick with cancer , that would be the reason to prescribe a patient Fentanly , sorry just curious .
@@hardcandy7112 there’s fentynal on the streets you know that right ? Just like any other drug
Excuse me , i thought she was Prescribed Fentanyl patch that come in different strengths 20/50/75/100 mcg/hr. by a real pain Specializes, i guess that how it starts,, not that Powder Chinese Mexican powder that is color dye and press inti pills looking like Blues-oxycodone 30 mg that sell for $25 pills street price , a real Blue oxycodone 30 mg sell for $30 to $50 depending on what part of state , or mix with heroin .
Let me guess we all ran out of our monthly supply because we took to many now we have to face withdraw ?
Day 2 in withdrawal. Been abusing for 10 years now. Body aches, I feel like I could vomit my guts up, diarrhoea, depression/anxiety. Feel awful :(
Hang in there brother im coming up on day 4 feeling a little normal....runs r a bitch though lol o well gotta do it u do too. Blessings.
Thank you for sharing your personal experience and your road to recovery.
How are you feeling now
I hope you got through it OK Dan, I am on day 8, after similar times of abuse... I just want to die, but have to keep going for my children.
You make it? Iam on day 67 took 2 fucking months! But I did it! Red Kratom is the Secret
My major problem is not getting any sleep!!!
is it okay if I only take one 100mg at 15 years old ? I’m just tryna get high lol
@@thekill4O5
Try taking it every day for about a week, than 1 will not do anything for you and you'll need 2 and after a few days your brain will want more and more until you can't stop! Run out of money? No problem, start selling everything you own, trust me you would sell anything you have for your next fix! Than when you hit rock bottom, try getting off of it without dying in the process! Your body will shake your legs will twitch non stop as your trying to get off of it, and sleep? After 100 hours of no sleep your to the point where you don't think you're going to ever sleep again unless your dead... joke if you want! Remember - it's your life! Do what you want with it, but it's no fun coming off of any drugs!
Dave Hibbs thanks man I didn’t know these things could do that to you cuz I’ve tried one a couple weeks ago and I kept thinking that I was going to have a heart attack and I could hear my heart beating too and it was just a feeling I didn’t wanna experience again and for some odd reason I wanted to try it again 🤦🏼♂️, you a life saver for real I wasn’t going to take it until you responded thanks for the feedback man I’m not trying that ever again ✊🏼💯
@@thekill4O5 don't do it man. Its not worth it. I guarantee you it will be the biggest regret of your life if you do.
@@davehibbs9111 now Dave, that's some of the realest shit I ever heard
Day 4 .. my legs. Oh my legs
I’m feeling that too day 4
I relapse 2 times went to the hospital twice this is how I feel. I feel happy and no worries and Im not anti social and I feel free when I'm on opiods 😔 I want to feel that way normal without any drugs but when I'm sober I don't talk , I stay away from ppl. I don't even want to be at work. That's the only reason why I take them because I feel like that should be me 😥 I hate it. I try quiting in the first day I gived up because the withdraws are very intense. Please 🙏 help me understand life. I seem to be doing everything wrong
How are you feeling brother?
Go tell your Dr if you can get some depression medicine start and then quit the shit it's worth it
Just hang in there bud. It'll go away.
I’m on antidepressants and they don’t help at all anymore. Debating changing them if I’m honest but trying to come off opioids at home. I’m so petrified
I've been doing pills since 2009 and just now stopping because of my children I can do this 💪🏾😞

How u doing
Day 2 getting clean on percs. Im going cold turkey.... Body aches are so bad i slept for 18 hours yesterday because i cant handle being awake to feel the pain and chills and headache. Pretty sure all the pills i did were laced with herion or fentanyl thats why im coming down so bad. Prayers to everybody going thru this we can do it your not alone
U can do it👍
If you can sleep you're going through extremely mild withdrawal lol.
@@nathanxbond that’s what I was about to say this dude has it made if he can sleep 😂😂😂
Right. I'd be golden if I could sleep. I'd just down ibuprofen, tylenol pm and melatonin and just sleep thru it.
I'm 4 days in to cold turkey.
I'm glad the diarrhea has passed at least. I actually feel kinda drowsy so maybe tonight?
I wasn't an IV fentanyl user tho. Only snorted it which is prolly why it's not been as bad as it could be
@Mickey Verma in a few days you will. Take lots of Benadryl. That helped me out
Horrible uncomfortable withdrawal but in a way I feel lucky it wasn't worse than what many people face. It's been 10 days off codeine for me (was on it about a year for chronic back pain from a herniated disc), and I'm hoping the worst is behind me. I'm embarrassed and haven't spoken to my family since my Mom found out and proceeded to call and disclose to every member of my family that I was a drug addict. I'm horrified and ashamed but I know I'm not the only one out there who has gone through this and I need to know now more than ever that I'm not alone. 🤧anyone else sneeze uncontrollably while going through withdrawals? It's been like one of my main symptoms.

Yup day 2 stopping cold turkey off Tapentadol 500mg every day for 3 years! Sneezing so much but that's the easy part.. I cannot describe the hell I'm in and so many of us are.. hope you beat it!
If you were 10 days off and can sleep at all or eat at all your good physically
Yeah i dont wish the feeling on my worst enemies...
You must not have any real enemies
It’s hell. The worst part for me was staying up for days at a time, feeling so restless that I couldn’t sit still, no matter how exhausted I was.

@@mykiea5156 hang in there. It gets better
Day 4/5 when the withdrawal was over i was crying Like a baby.... I was so happy that is was over🎉 and now i have to face withdrawal agian. I told My self never agian but I was so stupid i did it agian but now i live another life and only have to fight physical withdrawal one last time tomorrow 🙏
Getting off laced fentanyl pills was the worst. I had to spend 6 days in jail to go cold turkey on top of having to take chest pain medicine. Withdrawal symptoms are the worst and take time. Good luck everyone with this disease. I hope for the best and in my prayers.
Hahaha. Detoxed in jail 4 times. It's hell.
@@adamdorris4081 so sorry man i hope you quit bro its not worth, i relapse but i got fixed again and now its been 7 months.
I took percs and vics every day for around 4 years. It sucked real bad for about a week and mentally was difficult for around a year. Ive been off them for 2 years, cold turkey. Its tough but you just gotta do it. Its never going to get better unless YOU choose to change.

Like what do u mean on the mental part ?

Then I broke my back & required oxys for the unbearable pain...I'm now on day 3 of weaning myself down on them. No, it's not near as bad as the methadone detox (that was absolute hell & beyond, I even suffered a heart attack during the meth withdrawal) but damn...it's still miserable. Unable to eat, throwing up, diarrhea, anxiety, insomnia... The horrible thing is, I'll probably need them for the rest of my life & it's so hard to cope with that fact. I pray that this pain & suffering is gone within the next few days & I just wanna let everyone know that recovery is possible. I love & admire you all for getting clean, opiate detox is sheer misery but it doesn't last forever. Wishing you the best & know you're all in my prayers 🙏🏼❤️
Been there, used it for straight 6 months, couldn't quit even if I wanted to due to that pain that I never felt on my life, I wasn't there with my family, finally decided to confront everything with with my family and flew back home, it was so hard for me for few days, it's my day 8 clean with it, never felt this good before, knew what I'm capable of, its like you have to pay it back like a loan you took off heroin that gave you that chill in form of those pain you go through for few days, just keep yourself around with your loved ones, trust the process, you will get there, feel good like you almost forgot what it's like to be normal, you can definitely win over it!!!
When I try my hardest is sleeping and thinking...remembering anything. Making decisions..very anxious

Was on percs for 3 years and been off for 2 weeks now. Honestly the toughest part is the mental. Days 1-3 is physical hell but by the 4th you feel much better.. I imagine it could be longer the longer you've been on them. Just try to keep you mind occupied.. stay strong!
Depends on the dose and drug. I was in complete hell for 8 days before sleeping or feeling somewhat okay.
@@marcpomaville9429 how long did you use for? if you dont mind me asking.
Thank you 😀
I just came to this post its been 10 months and I'm clean... I stand by the fact that the mental is the toughest. I still get the urge but I also never cut out any of my friends so ya. I look at the physical is like your worst hangover you've had + your legs are on fire and you cant stop moving them for 3 or 4 days. I guess I was lucky because I got my first two hours of sleep on the 3rd day before the hallucinations kicked in... I mean you're still messed up in the head but I wasn't seeing or hearing anything except how much I hated the feeling. People say they lay in the same spot in bed all day and night . I wish!! The only that helped was HOT, HOT baths or showers. I would have lived In there if I could have. Good luck everyone.. you will need it but it is 10000 times worth the pain.
I’m doing horrible I’m on day 4 and the metal is kicking my but and the body tremors ,shaking, uncontrolled anxiety. I truly hope I see some light.😢
I'm worried that I will never be happy without it again, therefore I'm going to use again
Me too. I don’t think life is worth living without them
don’t glorify doin percs. It’s all fun and games till you can’t sleep hope everyone get thru it
God please help me day 4 😔
Hope you're okay. The rattle doesn't last forever
Day 48, headaches are betting me down any suggestions from the group. You kick ass people for fighting back.
Lots of H20
Kratom
Did it cold Turkey, Perc 30’s Fentanyl
On day 4 went to the doctor got some Ativan which is a Benzo took the endge off after 1 week I was feeling 90%
I never really got the "flu" symptoms. My biggest issue was my brain felt like it was going to explode and massively fluctuating heart rate. The headaches, joint aches & feeling sorry for myself were my biggest issues when I couldn't 'find' pills.
Same I struggle with anxiety also away felling my throat tighten up and my brain fells like it's on fire 🔥

I only took oxys for a week daily just to numb pain. Although I don’t know if these were withdrawals I felt totally deprived of happiness, I felt nauseous, I lost my appetite I was in my room all day laying down. I had no energy and I felt extremely anxious. It’s now day 2. I can’t imagine what it’s like for people who have been on them for weeks if not months…
When you’ve been on them for years and come off them, death is more inviting then the pain
@@peppipoohductionswakashunt3157 I can imagine. My come off was a very bad experience like I even had chills and felt cold and hot at the same time. I’ve read about withdraws from users that were on it for years. All of them were suicidal. It’s so sad and scary
I feel you nailed it. I've been doing dillies for about 2 month now and coming off my motivation, will power, drive was completely gone.
I've been on them daily for 15 years, i feel like cold turkey would result in certain death at this point
Try like 12 years🤦♂️ fun stuff. Makes u appreciate life when u come threw it
29 year old here been on codine for the last 6 years! Only on day 4 or 5 I can't even remember but it's mad! Sleep is gone aches are constant sweating all the time just don't know what to do with myself!

@@saundraranel1729 relapsed, but am currently 5 days clean. Which is a big fucking deal for me.
I got into a motorcycle accident 3 and a half years ago... ripping off half my hand and leaving the other half mangled. Turned my femur into dust as it stuck out of my knee. Doctors gave me pill after pill until I was addicted. No warnings or serious talks. Just a lot of Oxy. I got to a point where they made me feel so good I thought going through this horrible fucking accident at 22 was actually worth it. 9 days ago I decided to stop. 1 day after my 26th birthday. It sucks. I’d rather be laying on the concrete with my leg and hand in half. But it gets better. My main advice, Gabapentine. If at all possible take some. It virtually eliminates withdrawal symptoms. I refuse to ever go back. Even if that means being in pain for the rest of my life.
Where can I buy Gabapentine? And Good luck to you.
Hey how are you doing now
Currently on day 2. About 34hrs since my last dose. Been hooked on oxy for nearly 10 years after being rear ended so bad, 2 light poles came down on just me. The drunk driver had 1 pole right in the middle of his but he survived. Though I did save him off of adrenaline and not feeling anything going on at the moment, I had to pull him out of his car because it was starting to catch on fire.
How you doing ?
I'm going for treatment on Monday. I've tried cold turkey and I'll never do it again. Pray I stay clean, I hope you can get help too.
How are you feeling today I hope you're recovering well.
I'll go today or tomorrow for a detox center
I'm a recovering alcoholic, 6 years sober. My hubby got very ill due to sepsis, He had a leg amputated and every organ is his body is failing. he's also incontinent. I'm his 24 hour carer. I got severely depressed and started taking a little of his liquid oxydone .Now I'm swallowing a bottle in 3 days. My mood is so low, everything looks black with no way out. How stupid after working so hard to get sober !!!

It's hard... but Rome wasn't built in a day.
I'm on day 3. And despite as shity my body feels. My Mind feels great. I see the light at the end of the tunnel and it looks beautiful. Keep up the good work yall. 👏
And jus a suggestion... I moved back to mom's basement and out of the frying pan and away from friends who still deal wit it. (Urks)
Don't rush back to easy access because it maybe a trigger.
I feel in a day the worst will be behind me. But I been taking toxin flush tabs and working out to speed things along.
Jus remember once the body stops hurting now its a mind game and temptation is the next level to conquer. Good luck.
I never want to go back. Own it as a sort of strength 💪.
Being able to truly make it out of this, where as they can be around you and u are strong enough to say "No Thank You" I Do Not Partake.
Amen. Blessings to u all. We got this!!
3 weeks in. It was well worth the hurt.
Are you still sober?
Honestly I made it 2 3 months. But life circumstances gettin hard for me and the stress of it all. I did use again.
Not making any excuses because it was inevitably my choice to do them again. But jus try to be strong. We all make mistakes.
I have since then detoxed again alot easier this time by weening myself down to 5s n it went alot smoother. I am now 10 days clean again... 👏 🙌 God.
Keep at it. We are not all perfect.... but u have help I'd u need it. And I understand the struggle and support ur journey.

I have been prescribed by a Dr now I'm stop taking them its 4 o'clock in the morning I can't sleep I have pain absolutely every where in my body I feel I have been hited by a car
If your in pain Take them that's what they are for your only abusing them if your not In pain sir
@@anaismartinez8654 You are absolutely right ,I am able to tolerate the pain without the pain killers that's why I have decided to put stop to taking them I founded them very helpful for my pain but in later on stage I founded them highly addictive I had very sever couple of weeks to get myself off of them
How are you doing?
Hooman Hoomani i know what you mean.they are good for pain relief but omg I hate what they do to me. The side effects suck and I don’t feel like my old self anymore. I don’t sleep well on them too. I am currently getting off them too but tapering super slow and it’s much easier to get off when you take your time. Good luck mate
The Humane way to get off opiate is to ween little by little , as long as 20 months , getting off opiate all at once ,it's total failure, they do it that way with suboxone ,little at a time , why not with the pills .because Suboxone is their new Baby they are pushing to Addict , but you are still a Addict with suboxone .
To say opioid withdrawal cannot be deadly is WRONG.... I know a guy who had his blood pressure drop and he went into cardiac arrest due to withdrawals
Correct, especially methadone withdrawal is /can be dangerous.
After 2.5 years of Codeine addiction... I realized I needed to stop after the most severe constipation of my life... I was hospitalized..
today is day 4 and I feel terrible.. the muscle & body aches are so intense... my calves feel so tense and it’s almost impossible to walk.... my nose and eyes are so runny, I’m sneezing quite often... the unstable body temperature is so annoying, one minute I’m beyond hot then the other I have chills, & freezing.... diarrhea started today and the nauseated stomach.... I’ve been in bed all day.... my sleep patterns are even worse than during Codeine..... I’ve also given up cigarettes, 8 days now....
I’ve never written a comment before, but I eyes filled with tears while reading thru some of these comments.... This pain may be agonizing, and relief by any means may be beyond tempting...but this is ONLY TEMPORARY..... what we put into our bodies & allowed ourselves to become so dependent and addicted to, is poisonous...it is toxic, to our well being, our relationships, our stability, our health, our happiness, our future.... and it is not our friend.... we do not NEED it.... you don’t need it.. I feel your pain, I feel it in my very soul... I know it’s hard, but you, me .... we can do it... stay strong, and please hold on to the reality that this is for the better....and it’s part of our life story.... I’m not turning back..... I’m not going to ruin myself... my mother, my sister, my fiancé.. they’re worth the sacrifice, I’m worth it.. and so are all of you... I send my sincerest love, and empathy to each & everyone of you battling, fighting this war... we are strong, we are in control... I love you all, and my prayers are dedicated to all my soldiers fighting thru this hell, this torture... with broken spirits and excruciating pain.... we will be ok...Love ❤️

Damn how much were you taking a day?
I used codeine so long they finally could not help my colon. I've had a Colectomy now. Welcome to pain and it's self induced.!!
I don’t understand opioid withdrawal for everyone. I was on oxycodone for over 3 years. I had barely any withdrawal symptoms. I just had wrestled leg syndrome for 3 days and found it harder to sleep but once asleep the kicking would wake me up but on day 3 I was perfectly fine and felt much much better more clear headed and my pain was much better. The pills got to the point where they were hurting instead of helping. So I told my doctor and I just quit. I even have over 300 pills left over. I see these videos and feel so lucky.
Literally the only symptom I had was insane thirst. Like to the point where I got my blood sugar tested because I was sure I had diabetes. It was really bad thirst for the first few days and I had a couple of bouts of upset stomach but that was it.

How is everyone doing on their journeys? After years of IV use, getting on 130 mg of methadone and now two years later I tapered down to my last use yesterday. I’m excited to move forward but sweating, temperature swings and restless legs are still a challenge. I’ve been using edibles, don’t normally use thc however I can’t explain how helpful it is.
130mg? That alot i thought me taking 20mg of buprenomorphine was large

Hang in there, I’m a year and a half off everything and it’s like having life back again without realizing you ever lost it.

@@johnnyboy3289 wow. I'm feeling very inspired. I've been scrolling through videos of people's stories and felt comfort that even though I have no one, I am not alone.

4 days still going 🔥 the sweats and physical discomfort have finally subsided. I went outside and it feels like the first time in years. Being sober is like having a blanket lifted from your eyes. Never going back ❤️
Opiate withdrawal, especially heroin withdrawal, is something I wouldn’t even wish on my worst enemy. It’ll put the toughest grown man you know & leave him crying in the fetal position in the shower too weak to stand. & I mean the TOUGHEST person you know. It’s down right sad. It’s heartbreaking reading how many people are on day 1,2,3,4 or 5 and they’re all from months to year(s) old comments with people asking the OP for an update & either getting no response or finding out that they relapsed and died. It’s gotten even worse in todays age. Heroin (more like poppy gum) is so packed with fentanyl these days that the withdrawal is even more brutal…To anyone going thru it, just know you aren’t alone & that if you feel like no one loves you, I truly do. & I feel your pain. Remember why you started detoxing & keep in mind that if you get thru it, you’ll never have to feel that way again. Yeah being sober is boring as hell at times, but being in active opioid addiction is barely even being alive & hell 24/7.
If anyone needs someone to talk to, I’m here. Just comment on this post & I’ll send you my personal number & we can text. You’re not alone & the world hasn’t given up on you. Keep your heads up. ❤

I was on Morphine after a severe car accident around the clock extended release for some time..My doctor died a sudden and unexpected death, and I could not find anyone to write the drug..Morphine being the potent narcotic that it is should never be suddenly stopped..The agony is hard to describe..The aches and pains and runny nose began within 12 hours..By 24 hours I had severe abdominal cramps, heavy sweating, diarrhea, dry heaving, aches all over..I decided to try and make my way to a pharmacy for over the counter meds and I literally defecated my pants..Time seemed to be like watching paint dry as a minute seemed like eternity..The insomnia was the worst, gut wrenching brutal along with restless legs..No sleep for 3-4 days at least..My whole body felt as sick as I have ever been..The diarrhea was so bad I could not figure out eventually where it was coming from since I was unable to eat or drink for a while..I was lying on an air mattress near the bathroom and I sweat so heavily the floor was wet underneath the mattress..The irony of it all before I started on Morphine I asked the doctor if there was anything I need to be aware of about the drug..He replied very simply “No”..

So many nice things I can do with that money 😢. I have beckers muscular dystrophy but it's mentally killing me. I rather ache then be someone I don't know anymore. I went years sober and felt great for my situation just gonna get back to that. Covid made me more depressed and anxious
I hope all is well , god bless you
Day 3ish off morphine and codeine and this is fucking hell. My dad also had a meltdown today and I’m barely hanging on.
two days off methadone and vicodin.. I literally want to die .. I wanna sleep through it but can’t even sleep.. it’s literal hell
On day 4 my legs hurt my arms are restless can't sleep. I still manage to go to work dying with like 2 hours of sleep. Get home sower and straight to laying down. I want this to be over
I’m into my 8th day, after taking them for 10 years. Hardest thing I’ve ever done! 😪
You can do this and I believe in you. Don't watch the clock, watch some TV instead or read, let your mind wander and do not grant any attention to your struggle, it doesn't deserve it and it will only hurt you. It is air and as you inhale and exhale you gain back the power to reign your body without a second thought about pills.
Exactly. For those of us that have been on these for years we have withdrawals long after 7 days.
@angelSerrano how are you doing
Ive been doing percs for 6 months straight today is my 1st day without em and i feel like shit
you can do it

You can do it brother.

Day 4 and I’m just so cold with such a bad stomach!
I feel your pain! Hang in there friend.
Gabapentine really helps in withdrawal. Especially RLS.
I was on Percocet 4 times a day for 5 years (all done legally from my pain doctor.) Now, I have to get off the meds because my health is crashing from being on them too long. Here's a few tips that helped me if anyone needs them.
1) Take a hot shower while playing your favorite music.
2) LOTS of chocolate candy
**3)Get a bowl big enough to put your face in. Put cold water in the bowl (ice water works best but it can hurt a bit) then hold your breath and submerge your face into the water, stay in the water as long as you can. It shocks your system but, it stops the anxiety feeling. For me this worked the best.**
4)Get restless leg medicine..over the counter
5)Imodium Ad helps with the stomach
6) motion sickness meds worked a little bit
7)Walking helped a bit at times.
What was wrong with your health ? I was on norco 8 years and my gut and gastroparesis
Guys you all can do it you are one step away from freedom you are one step away from being the best person you can ever be don’t loose hope your 7 days of pain and agony can change your life up side down you will be free .
Wonderful!? another minimization of reality.
Fact: opioid withdrawal can be summed up in one word - torture - and absolutely CAN be life threatening. I, personally, have known four individuals who have DIED from opioid withdrawal symptoms. One was from suicide. Opioid withdrawal symptoms were listed as (1)primary or (2)secondary causes of death in regards to the other three.
In most - therefore we should think of as in all - cases of addiction there are deep, excruciating, and quite deadly injuries that are hidden from the eyes of not only others but the injured themselves.
Problem is that a large number of opioid addicts will fail with total long term abstinence only treatment..some will succeed but not the vast majority..but NA loves to hate on methadone and bupe programs..once you've used opioids long term in high doses you've altered your brain and sometimes it will not be reversed..its just the brutal reality.
I crippling incurable bone disease had destroyed my life, wealth and sanity. Doctors could, or would , not provide any where near the level of required pain relief. I could understand that I was afflicted for life and could never live normally again. But that level of suffering was unacceptable to all who witnessed my condition.
Some time later I was forced to begin self medicating with illicit opiates.. My new GF walked in and said.......If you continue to use, it will destroy your life and take all you own from you.
I looked at her and answered......As opposed to what ? The bone disease had already done that.
At least this way I could reduce the suffering. For many of us an addiction to opiates is the least of all evils by far. It can save lives, but the Doctors acted like it was not even an option.
They don't want to get sued
I'm going Rehabilitation center today for keeping myself clean from opioids.. I wish to be clean.
Addicted to heroin.. Taking drugs not destroys you but destroys your whole family 😭😭😭...
Stay clean. Be high on life not drugs...
1 year of being on oxy. I was taking 30 to 45 mg a day to the nose for about 4 months straight. I kept telling my family that I wouldn’t quit until I wanted to. I’m ready. I’m tired of feeling like a slave to this shit. This is day 2 for me. I need tips I just want to stick with it and be done.
Hey, hope you're ok. Can I ask how it went and how long it took ? Also what were your main symptoms? Thanks
@@lilnutty6821 I was sober for a week smh main symptoms were basically body aches cold sweats aggravation
@@ghendrix2322 it's very hard I know. I'm currently on day 4. I have an opportunity to have 60mg tomorrow thorough my doc (so wouldn't cause full relapse) but just scared it would start the whole process again. Good luck with it all
If you really want to get clean I suggest you take advantage of your situation and get it done straight away before it gets out of hand. That oxy dose you're on is nothing!
But keep at it and you'll be stuck in a shitty cycle, will keep upping your dose with time and your addiction will get much worse.
Good luck mate
Were you guys constipated often because of Oxy? Or were you eating healthy enough that you had a normal intestinal transit?
I quit a prescription fentanyl habit that was the equivalent of 4,000mg of morphine daily cold turkey! It took 10 years to get there and over a month to get off.. My god it was terrible! Talk about sick holy hell !
4000 mg wtf?
Never again🤦🏾♀️
Its hell after 9years of opioid use. I want to quit but i cant bear the withdrawals its too hard.
Kratom
I have been using on and off for 7 years. I went on a 2 month binge just recently and goddamn the withdrawal hit me like a ton of bricks.

What's the best way to stop oxocodone I'm taking 80mg about 3- 5 times a day for about a year for my back but I'm scared can someone help me?
Wait 80 mg daily or you’re taking 80 mg per dose 3-5?
Bruh I’m never drinking lean again
I wish they quite associating opioid withdrawal with advise.
Opiates cause oxygen deprivation, that causes organ damage. The withdrawal fever coocks your brain, and dehydrates you. 😢 After quitting, exercise helps oxygenation. But u never the same again
It gets better friend, stay strong.
That's what nobody really talks about, the dehydration and intense thirst which leads to an agitated feeling. It's really important to stay hydrated.
Day 2 to 36 is worse after taking oxycodone for 14 yrs
