Avatar f tn Ok, I've been taking hydrocodone for quite I few years now. It started out taking 5's as prescribed and went downhill from there. As of just over 24 hrs ago, I took my last vicodin i'm fine chasing it. its not even helping my pain anymore. My normal day dosage ended up being up to 120Mg a day of norco. It wasn't phasing me, even at that massive dosage. My question is, how long will the actually physical symptoms of withdrawal last?

Avatar m tn Aloha To all who were kind enough to answer my question on withdrawal from morphine, I want to thank you for your help. I have gotten some help from an acupuncture doctor and with his help I was able to not have any withdrawal symptoms at all. This is something any one ging through drug withrawals should consider since it is painless and works.
680303 tn?1239984840 Hi Dylan, The answer to your question is really going to be different for different people. Please read my answer earlier tonight, about tramadol withdrawal-- the issue isn't the withdrawal, because most people (by far) go back to using over and over. Yes, everyone says 'not me-- not after what I went through!!' EVERYONE says that, and thinks that. So I encourage you to set a limit-- say 'if I relapse ONCE, that shows I need treatment'.
1271743 tn?1320892461 If you are taking Morphine for a couple of months and the doctor changes you to Methadone, will the Methadone prevent withdrawal symptoms normally experienced from stopping the Morphine?
Avatar m tn the one you switched *to*) does not prevent *all* withdrawal symptoms (e.g. shorter duration, feeling like you need "just a little bit more," etc., etc., you know, the 'mild' stuff?)? Thank you!
1929972 tn?1328548262 Anyone try this before? I have a hard time with the suboxone because of the long duration of withdrawal. But I am walking a fine line weening with morphine. But I've felt like I've been in withdrawal pergatory. Not sure yet if the suboxone helped me or hurt me.
981443 tn?1250115802 It is approximately 6–8 times more potent than morphine, and is related to morphine in the same fashion that oxycodone is to codeine (being a derivative of thebaine). It differs from morphine in its effects in that it generates less euphoria, sedation, itching and other histamine effects. Depending on the individual patient, it can be either more or less nausea- and vomit-inducing than morphine.
Avatar m tn m past the worst of the Suboxone withdrawal or is there still some Klonopin in my system making the symptoms minor.I mean I still get cold easily and can also get hot very easily but the RLS in my legs and my arms is almost non existent and it's been about 30 hours since I've last taken a Klonopin.
Avatar n tn take what u have for anxiety during the day as little as u can to relieve the symptoms..ur physical symptoms will subside in a week or even less if u take ood care of urself,,,,find some meetings now and drag urself out and attend..
Avatar m tn The way to avoid withdrawal symptoms is to go slow-- reduce by about 10% per month, for example. Most of the time people taper more quickly, because if it goes too slowly the person will end up increasing the dose on impulse before the next step down. I usually end up prescribing a few days to at most a week supply, and dropping the dose by 10% every couple weeks.
1148698 tn?1261715542 Your Dr may want to give you asome type of benzodiazapine concurrently with elavil to alleviate the anxiousness associated with withdrawal. I have never heard of Elavil ALONE being used to treat withdrawal symptoms. Elavil is one of the older antidrepressants. QUESTION: Is your Dr. an Addiction Specialist? Has he mentioned Suboxone to treat the Withdrawal Syndrome? You may want to mention this to him as I know of no use for Elavail other than for depression.
Avatar f tn will i experience withdrawal symptoms? i know that no one can say for sure, but there must be someone out there who can speak to this situation that i am in. i am frightened, or more appropriately, i have a sense of dread about having to go through withdrawal on top of all of the other health problems that i have right now. in may of last year i was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, and in feb of this year i was diagnosed with crohn's.
Avatar f tn Just a guess why they are not helping your withdrawal symptoms is they are quite a low relative dose compared to 150mgs of morphine/day. This currently sounds like more a transition question than a no more opiates one, correct me if I'm wrong by the way. I'd suggest that you stabilise for a few weeks after coming off the morphine and assess your pain levels when your body has re-wired a bit before going to the pain clinic.
1158557 tn?1262725929 I know this is one of the symptoms that the doctors related to my being in morphine withdrawal as well. Hope my experience helps.
Avatar f tn My doctor a year later completely took me off the Tramadol and replaced it with Morphine ER with Percocet for break through pain and I had no withdrawal symptoms from stopping the Tramadol at all!!! By the way, when I stopped the Tramadol completely, I was taking the same amount as you per day. The amount of Fentanyl you are on is stronger than the starting dose of Morphine that I was on when I stopped taking Tramadol.
Avatar f tn I had already experienced some withdrawal symptoms by that point, mainly stomach upset that I was treating with Immodium and Pepto. However, the last 4 days have been miserable. By mid-day Friday, I had a full blown migraine with all the side effects, which had been normal for me prior to the methadone treatment. It is still going full steam, the Morphine has no effect. I cannot keep any food or much water down. Then this morning, I started having seizures/convulsions, 2 so far.
Avatar f tn Again...my attempts to quit failed. I was on day 2.5 of withdrawals and couldn't take it. I couln't sit still for 1 second, paced my house endlessly for hours...someof you know how it is so I won't go on. Funny thing happened. I ran out of my refill of 10mg hydrocodones early (as usualy) and found about 20 pills of 30mg morphine extended release. I made those last for a week...and when I saw I had 2 left I decided I would quit again.
Avatar f tn This is something you should discuss with your Pharmacist as dose, duration/length of time taken, and type of Metformin may have contributing factors.
Avatar m tn Hello Rocketmentor, Please don't think that I am insinuating you are having a substance issue....but I suggest that you post your question in the Substance Abuse Forum. I suggest this ONLY because they have much more experience with withdrawal and medications in this matter. I am not sure which one is more difficult to withdrawal from...as I think all our systems are a bit different. Here's the link: http://www.medhelp.
