REAL WORLD WITHDRAWAL STORIES from the WEB

I recently tried to stop taking them for a day and I visited what I
believed to be the bowels of hell! I got extremely nauseous, w/heavy
sweating, hot & cold flashes, uncontrollable coughing, diarrhea, insomnia,
rapid heartbeat, watery eyes, excessive yawning, and depression - the worst feelings I've ever felt. It got so bad that I seriously contemplated ending it just so I wouldn't feel this way anymore.

It's pure hell. The hot and cold sweats, leg cramps, some abdominal problems, diarrhea and/or vomiting. You need not only de-toxed, but also treatment. If you are really at your end, you will do WHATEVER it takes to get your life back. I did. I love life today. Good luck. The withdrawals are a long 2-3 weeks of no sleep. I know, I've been there. That's why it's almost impossible to do it out-patient or at home. You have issues to
deal with, and need the reinforcement.

I didn't sleep at all for almost 10 days. All of my bones severely ached. I could not sit still. I had a lot of back pain and headaches. I would have done anything to get the medication back.

I just was sick as a dog. Flu like symptoms. You get jumpy and cranky. Also stomach aches and diarrhea .It's not fun ..in fact it sucked really bad.

The withdrawal that he experienced was very very difficult he was very
sick his withdrawal symptoms included vomiting, shakiness, bad muscle cramping, weakness, no appetite (he lost 15lbs) during the initial two week period of his withdrawal. It has been 2 1/2 weeks since he began he checked himself into a psych ward just to detox after two failed attempts
of trying to wean off on his own under his doctors instructions. Still he is weak and shaky and has trouble sleeping.

And like quitting heroin, quitting OxyContin was hellish, he said. "You feel the same withdrawal symptoms ... the worst flu you ever had. You sweat. You vomit. You can't control your bowels and you shake and you wish you would die. The only relief is more."
