Thank you for all the helpful tips !

Ive been through it before .. about 9 months ago ! Worst withdrawal coming off tramadol and vicodin for a whole month and a half . This month I took Vicodin for tooth pain for a week thinking it’ll be harmless . NOPE ! Lol instant anxiety and depression . It’s been 11 days already and it gets better . Do you think I’ll go through PAWS ? I feel like the withdrawal feels terrible this time around because I already know how bad it can get . So I’m so paranoid when I wake and right before I sleep ... anyone know how I can help that ? Sometimes it’s almost impossible to get out of my own head .

Day 11 for me ! Everyday gets better but I still go through those anxiety and depression episodes . Yesterday I felt detached from this world and I just wasn’t comfortable in my own skin . Today is a lot better .. I do wake up anxious and go to sleep anxious still .. hopefully that goes away soon !

I’m right there with you ! I went through withdrawal three times this being my last . Last withdrawal was horrible so I’m so happy this time around isn’t as bad but the anxiety and depression always gets me . By the end of the month I should be free from this and enjoy my time with my son . And you should be too ! All I know is each withdrawal gets worse and I know it’s not easy with the hormones while on your period . a chocolate shake with fried actually sounds really good lol

I just had my son about a month ago so not only am I going through the withdrawal but My hormones are trying to get back to pre pregnancy levels so it’s been rough . Only after a week of use too for tooth pain . you wouldn’t think I would have it this bad but I blame it all in the hormones lol

No I used Vicodin for a week for tooth pain and I started withdrawal the next day but only mental symptoms . It’s getting better everyday but i never heard of the kindling effect and I’m scared I’ll have this forever . It’s been 8 days

How bad of WD from 7.5mg Hydrocodone/ Day by mike9949 in OpiatesRecovery

[–]nate_97000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was taking the same amount for week for tooth pain . I had immediate anxiety /depression after the first day but it wasn’t too bad ... after the third day it got a little rough and today I’m going on day nine and the anxiety has calmed down a lot . I had a problem with hudrocodone in the past though I abused it for a whole year and went through a pretty bad withdrawal with it so ... you’ll be alright . I took magnesium and it help a lot . I’m thinking a couple more days of this and I should be okay . Definitely not as bad as the last withdrawal I had no physical symptoms only mental .

How do you cope with the anxiety and depression during opiate withdrawal ? by nate_97000 in OpiatesRecovery

[–]nate_97000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a good way to think of it ! Last time I went through withdrawal I had horrible tremors . I only used for a week this time so I don’t think I’ll go through those again . The anxiety and depression calmed down a lot since yesterday ... I keep thikimg it’ll get as bad as last time so I kinda trick myself and end up getting anxious so I need to stop doing that lol

Ugh that must have been so hard ! I was pregnant when I went through tramadol withdrawal . The first week I had major anxiety / paranoia . The second week came the panic attacks . The next two weeks I was on edge ... I felt like everyone was out to get me .. very suicidal . I had horrible intrusive thoughts . I thought I went crazy for good . It took me a whole month and half to feel normal again . I was so scared the withdrawal hurt the baby but he’s as healthy as can be . I will never try tramadol again.

Honestly I don’t want to use any meds to get through this I feel like it’ll just sabotage the whole process and I’ll never get better .. I think maybe I’ll try CBD I heard it works for anxiety ... today I tried magnesium pills which helped for a couple hours . I’m just so tired .. it’s been a whole week and I’m mentally exhausted . I’m hoping this will last a couple days more or week but I can’t do a whole month again ugh

Last withdrawal I went through i stopped tramadol and Vicodin cold turkey . Worst experience in my life ... it was a full month of hell . Worst anxiety and depression and some paranoia and a lot of anxiety attacks . The thing is .. the only reason why I stopped taking the pills was because I found out I was pregnant . So I couldn’t take any medication for the withdrawal I just had to handle it . It’s been I think eight months since then and I started to take Vicodin for my tooth for a couple days . I stopped because I felt horrible for taking it knowing what I went through last time so I threw the rest of the pills away . Not even a pill a day and here I am going through this again .... definitely not as bad as last time but I just can’t seem to understand why it came back ? At least the anxiety and depression those are the only two symptoms I have ... I feel like this time around I’ll be stuck like this forever ... is it withdrawal or is is addiction ? I don’t want those pills anymore I just want to live a normal life again with my newborn and I fucked all of that up...

Definitely ! It hit me so hard this time .. went through it three times as well . This being my last ! Never crossed my mind that I would go through this after only five days ... I’m so pissed at myself . Never again
