Its been over 1 year now since i have been Physically addicted to opioids. I have had 3 failed attempts to stop. In the last 13 months i have went about 2 weeks without pills. The withdrawals from opiates are extremely painful and i still go back to this narcotic. I get insomnia that usually last about 7 days along with diarrhea, body jolts, and extreme body pain .. Yet the drug is so powerful i end up back taking it. I went to the doctor today to try to get some help. he prescribed me 15 mg Oxycontin that i suppose to take 2 times a day without wiping the time release off or breaking the pill . he is going to drop the dosage every other week as long as i dont abuse them. i have to take my bottle in every week to show him im not taking to many. I would like to discourage everyone from abusing these drugs because it will take over your life and start controlling you. Please wish me luck and to anyone that is reading this that is going through the same thing .. Please keep your head up and defeat this nasty nasty nasty powerful addiction.!
Wishing you all luck. But more than luck its determination and will power that can help you kick this addiction. You can read stories of people who gave the habit after trying hard and it should infuse all determination and confidence to you as well. PS: I would love to read your success story. Wish you best of luck and best of will power!
Two things that might help some. 1) To help you sleep, try Calcium/Magnesium/Zink supplement pills available at WalMart, over the counter, no perscription needed. 2) Ask your doctor for a Tostesterone blood test. Opiates deplete this important hormone resulting in weakness and lethargy. If it is low, there is a perscription lotion or skin patch that can restore your levels. Good Luck
Good luck torrentstorage, it's not going to be easy but you can do it. Have you thought about joining some kind of support group?
Do you know if you're an addict or just dependent? Have you been evaluated? Anyone can become dependent upon opioids but doesn't mean they're an addict. Addiction vs Dependence
@ logic I feel i need them to get through the day. I fear the thought of not having access to them I was diagnosed with opiate dependency 2 months ago
