hey it depends eeryone is kinda different with how long there withdrawals last. withdrawals will be feeling sick, shaking, sweating, irriatable, can lose ur appietite, may not b able to sleep, restless, mood swings. hope this helps u out.

It depends, hun, on how long, the type and all of that good junk to see how uncomfortable they will be. Always remember, if unable to do them on your own, go to the local ER, as they, at least here, where I am, will give medicines to stop the withdrawals. Mine last multiple days. I am on day 10 of opiate wd's and feeling as crappy right now, as when I quit. But, this goes with the territory. This is the longest I have been clean in a very long time and I love it. If you have any questions or just need someone to talk with, feel free.

It's true, it depends on the person and what you are withdrawing from...for me personally, it took 4 to 5 days before the shakes and the restlessness stopped...two weeks before I started feeling normal again.

Google "detoxing" or "herbal detox" and you will find some remedies that really help. Some you can make at home.

Oh...get some immodium AD, too. You will visit the toilet a lot more if you don't.

And remember, "This too shall pass." The skin felt as if it were peeling off my back at one point, but I did survive it. I now have over a year clean and sober.

ALSO: I just remembered what happened after that whole "skin peeling off my back" thing happened. I had to go to the hospital. So, you may want to talk to A doctor or YOUR doctor since detoxing on your own could be fatal, depending on what you take and how much. The nurse at the hospital said, "I can't believe you didn't have a heart attack or a stroke, Candi!! I just can't believe it." Keep in mind that you will be putting your body through a very large adjustment and it will fight the addiction the whole way.

I would suggest making sure a doctor is aware you are doing this, only because of my past experience.

Anyway, hope this helped!

hey girlie, it definitely is different for everybody but i can tell you that my withdrawals, after snorting 300mg of oxy daily, included the following:
cold sweats, fever, diarrhea, extreme leg pains, insomnia, loss of appetite, irritability, depression, and serious restlessness. this sound horrific i know, but it will be so worth it. the really bad withdrawals will probably last about three days but you won't feel totally good for a couple of weeks. i know that the couple times i have kicked, after the three days of hell i usually feel like i'm in some weird dream state for a few weeks afterwards. stay strong and good luck.

Well I first of all can't believe that this post is on the top of the list i left it 5 days ago. Anyways I am officially out of everything untill the 10th. SOOOOOOO today is my first day w/out. I go thru this every month. This time i have to wait until november 10th for refill. So it should get ugly. I can already feel the shakes and the insomnia coming. Not good!!!!!!!!!!

www.naabt.com will educate you a little. Weaning is the better way to do it, but suboxone is the best that I have found! I was clean for over a year until I shattered my left foot last year, then my dad died and now I'm back to 30 a day! When I was clean I never even thought about them!!

I am feeling very Ill. Nausea and can't eat. It took me 2 hrs to eat half a piece of pizza. I just want to escape where I am staying. Nothing against the place and my friends. I just am not use to living like this. I got someimmodium but it's not working so well. Today I was having trouble breathing and panicing, my skull hurt. I want to quit because i always go through this time every month. But i don't think my life is anywhere near being stable enough to go without. It seems it is my only coping mechanism. Part time relief seems better than no relief sometimes. I am use to taking ativan and some xanax. I only get what my dr. has prescribed I just take it too soon. I have never had a dependancy like this before. Why do they put you on these meds without educated you. Then they try and condemn you for taking them and wanting them. I dont even bother to ask for more. I will suffer first.

i agree with kyz.. suboxone has saved my life.. and it took the withdrawals away. took about 3 weeks to get fully adjusted to but i am sober almost 2mo. i will wean off suboxone when ready.. this too can cause withdrawal but your dr. or clinic will guide you thru the process. good luck and keep in touch with your dr. and be honest as possible that its turning into an addiciton and you aren't in control of it anymore. valium and the like are good to help you thru the wd's but remember they are as difficult if not more to come off of than heroin. so b-careful jloz.
