In my and others experience, the best withdrawal method is a process of cutting back your dosage over time. Going into a rehab unit is pure hell. And anyway you are not an addict. Take it slow friend. In my humble opinion the vicodin you may want to stay on the longest. Percs make me feel depressed. Vicodin does not do that. I am a pain patient. This may sound counter intuitive but oxycontin acts longer with getting a less addictive buzz or high like one does on vikes(hydrocodone).
I have been taking vicodin and tramadol for over 15 years and really want to stop taking them because they are ruining my life. But the pain from withdrawal is unbearable. I am at my wits end n don't know how to ease the withdrawal symptoms. Any ideas?
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.
I am trying to ween off I am down to 1/2 in morning 1/2 at night. I am feeling withdrawal symptoms already is it going to get worse once I stop? I am taking a lot of vitamin and trying the thomas recipe but I feel terrible and I have to work.
I think the typical withdrawal is 4-5 days of the intense phsyical symptoms. I do not know about methadone. Try wrapping your legs in ace bandage for the rls. It helped me.
Can anyone tell me how long the withdrawal symptoms last when coming off Oxycontin? I've been taking 300mg a day for the last four years because of spinal disease. I've now decided I'd rather suffer the pain than deal with this drug anymore. I no longer have any interest in anything and spend most of my days watching TV. After doing my research, I've decided it's the drug from hell and I really need to stop.
I hope someone can help me. I have been doing the Ashton Manual withdrawal method to come off of Klonopin. I am done with the Klonopin but now have to wean off the Valium. Everyday is pure agony. When will this end? I have been off of Klonopin for 2 months now and have been doing the withdrawal for 8 months and it is NOT getting better, only worse. I am now on 10 mg of Valium in the morning and 4 mg at night cutting 1 mg a week. I cannot see this getting any better.
Could be withdrawal, but also during the night our blood sugar changes as we sleep so maybe get it checked. Good luck!
If you are having blurred vision and confusion I would encourage you to seek medical care asap - I highly doubt that is still from vicodin withdrawal and you may have other issues going on.
Usually the worst of the withdrawals is the first 5 days then you would just feel weak for a couple weeks. What you are experiencing is not normal.
Call your doctor or go to ER.
I have been trough this before but I dont know what I can do to make the withdrawal symptoms not so bad. What kind of vitamins, if any, can I take or does anyone have any suggetions on making it a little easier?
It shouldn't be too bad, I know alcohol withdrawal can be really bad and really dangerous. It shouldn't be too be because you only used 2-3 a day but if you have been using them contiuously for 2 years than you can't avoid the withdrawals because you have changed the opiate receptors in your brain and they need time to go back to normal.
I'm coming off hydrocodone/pap 7.5 - i've been snorting about 6 a day since June. Today will be my first day without. I tried to cut down so I could minimize withdrawal, but that doesn't work when your an addict. Cold turkey is the only way to go.Any suggestions? I'm nervous and scared that withdrawal is gonna be bad.
Yep right here!!...I swear, & not many people believe me, but my methadone withdrawal was almost like nothing!!...I was on it for 8yrs highest dose about 100mg, & from January to March 24, 2012 I tapered completely off...by myself..no Dr...I was 3months clean & started to have bladder/kidney pain, had some surgeries, got on oxycodone for that & am currently trying to taper off it...let me tell you, it has been beyond WORSE than the methadone!!!...
I was just wondering if that would make the withdrawals start again. I really felt fine withdrawal wise by Friday but Friday night when it ruptured I really had no choice. Any help would be appreciated because I don't want to withdrawal again especially since I'm going on a week vacation tomorrow. Thanks to all!!!!
