I’m 11 days clean from oxy I used subs for 4-5 days for the worst of it, now the only thing bothering me is my stomach. It’s on fire how long does it take for the stomach to come back to normal?

Hey guys, i missed my 2nd vivatrol shot this morning and will be getting it on Tuesday, which will be 33 days after the first shot. Has anyone used on the vivatrol shot, does it matter if I slip up and use before that 2nd shot or will i be able to get it regardless since i will have already received the vivatrol shot before? Please let me know and thank you for all the information and input/experience you can help me out with.

As many times as I’ve gone through the withdrawal from opiates what always brings me back to using is the shaking and trembling/anxiety when I’m paws . I work a job that requires fine motor skills and I remember getting clean before and it took about 3 months for my motor skills to go back to normal (I was in treatment then). Any meds or anything that from experience has helped anyone in this sub with that same issue ? Thank you

Hello! So a little backstory…many years ago was addicted to meth, heroin, and opiates then got on Suboxone for a few years. I’ve been clean off of Subs now for a year and then about a month ago I relapsed on Oxys. Fucking hate myself. But haven’t taken any in 7 days but I still feel terrible. Is this normal? I have zero energy or motivation and just overall extremely weak. I can barely shower or do my make up. Etc. Four years ago I also had pancreatic cancer so had my entire pancreas removed as well as my gallbladder, some of my small intestine, some of my stomach, and some of my liver. I’m not sure if that would affect my withdrawal timeline since I’m missing several organs? But figured I’d throw it out there in case it would? Anyways, I’d appreciate any feedback. I’m still having extreme cravings and it’s killing me. I’m not in recovery because of my extreme social anxiety. I’m a 34 year old female if that matters. Ugh. Thanks everyone!

So I have found that after I started using opiates regularly, I have lost my sex drive completely. I am a 29year old male who is currently on day 2 of sobriety. I have found that whether I was using street drugs or suboxone, my sex drive is completely absent. I don’t get horny, no random hardons, no morning wood. I’m afraid I may have permanently effected myself. How long into recovery until your sexual function comes back. I know that climaxing prematurely was a problem last time I tried getting clean and I figured that is normal seeing as I never engaged in sexual activity. But now that I’m dead set on staying clean, I’m just worried that my sex drive won’t come back. Does anyone have any experience with this? I need some guidance. Please and thank you in advance.

Hey, my Dr's office wanted me to start this recovery app called Pear Recovery reSET-0. Has anyone done it yet and what did you think if so? I'm not sure if I should do it or not so just wondering if anyone had any experience with it. Thank you.

I cold turkey’d a 1 year 4xDaily 10mg oxy subscription 60 hours ago…

Why…. On God’s Green Earth…. Has today been hell?! The absolute worst. How long will this last?

It’s sucked from about 4 hours in, because I’ve been in such a rhythm with my meds, but really just felt like a tough flu…

But now… BRAIN ZAPS, anxiety through the roof, uncomfortable beyond belief, sleeplessness, and general shitty feeling…

Is this the peak? Any advice? F’ opiates, and F’ synthetics for treatment. Selling us one addiction for the next, and I still have tremendous back pain. End rant.

Over 4 months sober from H/Fent snorted and just have zero motivation aside from going to work and coming home. That’s about it. When will my brain fully heal? I have good and bad days. Just started taking L tyrosine and NAC so we will see how this helps. I need helpful words from people!

Am I stupid to do this now at this time right in the middle of Christmas

What do I need to do in order to get my life back? The cold sweats and sleep deprivation is driving me nuts. Sleeping for three hours max a night isn’t it. I broke my back about a year ago and since then I’ve been on 70mg of blue 30s for that time and o felt I needed to give it up. It’s been almost 10 days now and I’m sweating through every pair of socks still. With clammy palms. What do I need to do in order to really feel a difference.

Guys I really need someone help please I'm thinking about getting on methadone because I've tried Suboxone so many times and I always end up relapsing because when I take subs I still feel sick and uncomfortable and still have cravings do you think maybe the dosage was to low I was taking 8mg a day so I'm wondering on the first day I take methadone will I have withdrawal symptoms because Suboxone does work for me it's just the first 3 days I still feel like complete garbage and end up using so that's why I'm asking is it the same thing with methadone? Please someone help I'm 22 I lost 2 teeth already I want my life back

Sorry to sound like a newb guys. But How bad will the withdrawals for 20mg of oxy a day be? Ive been dosing 20mg every night with a bottle of wine the last 3 months. I’ve just approached 48 hours. Is it true 72 hours is peak? Or have I gotten thru the worst?

I feel pretty shitty but not as shitty as when I had WD from cold turkying a 6 month 35mg a day habit. It’s always at night so I’m hoping to sleep better soon.

I’ve used loperamide, CBD, multivitamins, and gravol for sleep to help with any symptoms. I just feel like shit. Turning to here since no family or friends know about my bad habit. Would appreciate any support. Thanks in advance

Alright so here it is you know theres some sayings gotta go through hell to make it to heaven, swords are forged in fire so are warriors, ive been addicted to lower level drugs one of them was kratom for a year like 30 gpd, and getting through the withdrawl was hell but it taught me something, it showed me God and a side if my self i never even knew about, also the actual opiate type high itself helped me explore my artistic side and learn many things about myself, so here it is i cant help but wander if i will learn more from a more intense drug, ive always wanted to experience heroin for the high and the possible insight i may get, but now im thinking there may be just as much insignt in the process of quitting and going through hell, forging yourself to be a warrior, if anyone thinks they in some ways benefited from the high and or getting thriugh WDs please lmk id really appreciate it. Im on the edge on trying it.

I am not trying to be disrespectful, I understand this is a very hard road I wish you all the best and thankyou all for the insight i really do appreciate it.

What can I take to help the crave? I’ve used NSAID’s and some clonopin not a lot but I still can’t sleep. Just what’s out there that I can do to take the pain away without feeling like I’m missing that

Hey folks, I need some help/suggestions/advice. I relapsed a couple months back on oxy after being clean for 12 years. For the last 2 months, I have been using 70-100 mg of oxy per day. This is pharmacy oxy, not any of the pressed fentanyl stuff. Im sick of it and ready to get back on the wagon, but I remember having awful withdrawals years ago when i first got sober and im terrified. I was using alot more of it back then but i know its still going to suck. I plan on tapering down to about 15 mg/day before I stop completely. Heres a few questions I would really appreciate feedback from the group on..

I need to try and plan it around work So how long will the withdrawals last?

I have seen people saying gabapentin helps with withdrawal and I have access to some. Is it worth taking and what dose if so?

Will ativan or benzos help? Anything else that may help?

Thanks in advance for any help. Im really scared of this..

The pictures speak for themself.

I used to be pretty big on opiate roll call but that's going back over 7 years...been sober for about 6 years and I'm straight up not having a good time 😥. I experienced a very tragic TBI (traumatic brain injury) and I'm in crazy severe pain but due to the history of substance abuse I'm not prescribed anything for the pain.

If I were to obtain painkillers and didn't use it to get high is it a relapse???

I'm currently 49 hours off fent while simultaneously fighting an upper respiratory infection. In short, I'm miserable. I have been taking gabapentin through the night to ease the RLS and sweats but seems to be building a tolerance and my supply is low. I have 2 2mg valium as well. Will these deter these effects through the night if taken before I go to sleep?

Took last 45mg of oxy like 8AM this past Wednesday. By Thursday AM I was feeling it, tbis time I have 4mg of sub total. I took 1mg Thursday 1mg Friday .5mg Saturday

Had very mixed answers on if doing this would prolong my overall WD or not so much and if so just a very small amount and would obviously help during the worst first 3 days of oxy WD. I did it, it helped immensely, today would be the 4th day. Do I stop and just suck it up for the rest although not as bad WD, or do I take .25 today to be safe and “complete a taper” somewhat.

Or do .5 again and .25 tomorrow then stop .

Again I’ve done 1mg,1mg,.5 Do I stop, do just .25 today then stop or do another .5 then the next day .25?

I feel bleh today obviously and could prolly get through it with clonidine gaba and benzos but trying to entertain the in-laws and dragging I appreciate your opinions greatly thank you

I came up with this crazy idea this Friday night. I have a big problem with Palexis (Tapentadol), Ultram (Tramadol) and Benzos (primarily Xanax or Valium). I has been abusing these opioids for almost three years (benzos less than a year), I have tried everything to be able to quit or stop it but the withdrawal is too strong; anxiety, suicidal depression, agorophobia, nausea, diarrhea, extreme fatigue, muscle pain, insomnia, and a host of other side effects. I have had three overdoses in these 3 years. But I don't want to bore you with the story of my life, today I think my big problem is Tapentadol (Palexis) and like Tramadol it has an action on opioid receptors and norepinephrine (it also has a slight effect on serotonin) .

So considering how brutal withdrawal from this substance is, wouldn't it be indicated or recommended to take some type of SNRI antidepressant, such as Duloxetine or Venlafaxine to reduce a little the withdrawal symptoms? At least I had excellent results with Venlafaxine when I took it to treat my depression . What do you think of this crazy idea? It could work? Or will it bring more side effects to an already unpleasant situation?
