What do you guys think the worst part of opiate with drawl is?

For me, i believe the worst part is the cold sweats you get and the goose bumps.

I cant stand sitting there and sweating while being cold and getting the goose bumps at the same time. Also the back pain is another pain in the butt..

I find that the restless leg isnt that bad because its nothing a little nyquil wont fix.

I was actually sober for a month..relapsed but am trying again..my mother died and i started to get panic attacks.. In my personal opinion.. what works for me is taking 5 suboxone.. One the 1st day of your withdrawl all the way to the the fifth day of with drawl.. and its half life is almost 36 hours for me.. so on day 7 it wears off and the physical is pretty much obsolete its jsut a mental game from there on end.

The absolute worst for me is the fatigue. The lack of motivation to even eat , smoke a cig , or just walking to the bathroom. The cravings are bad as well.

How many times have you done a sub detox like that with five pills over a five day period?

nothing prepares you for the withdrawal, it all just keeps coming and coming.

First the anxiety which equals cravings of a huge proportion

then the depression, boredom.

The insomnia seems to be on the demons high priority, trying to keep you awake at night just so you take something.

Then the restless leg syndrome, when you just cant stop moving them damn legs.

The motivation is zero, the lethargy is maximum.

All this because your brain was so used to opoids, and this is it letting you know its recovering, albeit in a bad way. There is plenty of advice here and elsewhere about this, but if you wanna talk on a personal level, I should be around somewhere. I cant sit still, so its between the PC and the sofa for me.

dont beat yourself up, its already going to get easier on you day by day. Unfortunately I cannot give you a set date, we are all different. I guess we are just one of the unlucky ones that have to live with the withdrawal for the time being.

In my opinion the absolute worst part of an opiate w/d is not being able to sleep. I always felt if I could only sleep even 6 hours straight, it would be easy. And the second wworst is not even being able to lie down and rest because of the weird creepy feelings in my calves known as good old restless leg syndrome. Ive never vomited or been nauseaus due to withdrawal luckily, but not being able to concentrate on TV or a book or mag is also pretty crxppy. So no sleep, no rest, no books, no TV. It sucks.
