Getting clean...need tips for easing detox from opiates.


I'm six days into detox from opana. I was taking up to 150mg a day, *snorting* and tapered down to about 60mg, then went cold turkey. First day not so bad...Second day, vomiting, double vision, convulsions. VERY SCARY. Hands were numb... Now i'm on day six, and i'm still having chills, some sweats, and stomach issues. i ate for the first time today, but it's hard. i want nothing more than to kick this awful habit. Opana ruined me. I'm hoping someone can give me some tips and advice for the insomnia, restlessness, and general ooginess i'm feeling until i get through it all the way. Any advice is greatly appreciated and much needed. I'm in a safe place, but i need to ease this pain without turning back to opiates. I want to get on my feet so i can get to a local meeting. Please help. I feel lost. no

It's been decades since I cold turkeyed smack but if I recall correctly believe the worst is over. Hang in there! It takes quite some time for the body to adjust to being Clean. One day at a time it gets better. A Day Clean is a Day Won!
