    Opiates. Long story short, I have a history of painkiller abuse, it led to heroin after a while on the needle i just quit quit. No rehabs, therapists or much family support ( I don't really know how I did it) Do to a series of unfortunate events I've been prescribed multiple opiates and benzo's. And within maybe a week, a week in a half, full blown relapse. I got 60 Oxycontin each 30mg, and ran out in 6 days. it was supposed to have been a months supply.I also have percocets and xanax, and the months supply of oxy was refilled so i could continue to get high. But realizing i was going right back into the void, I returned the drugs to the pharmacy. I didn't think a week and a half (Lets be generous) of binging would cause physical withdrawal, i was wrong. And Quitting suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks

    Been down this road. Just remember it gets better and once you are through the woods...and you will get through them...don't EVER go back to it. If it gets too bad get medical help. Also, call someone and see if they can come over or come pick you up so you don't have to be alone going through this. Remember drugs make you THEIR slave and I doubt you want to live like that.

    I feel you, man. I'm on my second time around of coming off methadone to cope with opiate addiction (heroin the first time and OxyContin the second). It took almost a year for the withdrawal symptoms to go away completely the first time, but I'm only on month three. I'll have several really good days and then it'll strike out of the blue with bouts of vomiting and stomach cramps.

    It sucks. Suck suck suck sucks.

    I've got a Zofran prescription to deal with the stomach upset and Xanax to deal with the anxiety--you can also consider asking a doctor about clonidine to help manage withdrawal symptoms.

    I wish I had an ounce of your fortitude Sam, I long to quit smoking, while not as stigmatic as opiates, but to quit the way you did the first time... gives me courage. I am sure you can do it a 2nd time =)
