Oxy withdrawal - Restless Body
Hi,
I don't really have the energy to introduce myself right now. My last oxy was Sunday night. I had about a 200mg/day habit. I have used about 80mg of hydro over the past 3 days in an attempt to not feel like total hell and slowly come off. Today I have only taken one Vicodin. Real withdrawal is finally kicking in. I have a multitude of clonidine, compazine, Immodium, etc... But I don't know what to do about THIS TERRIBLE FEELING ALL OVER MY WHOLE BODY LIKE I WANT TO JUMP OUT OF MY SKIN. I am at work right now and I am just rocking and moving and AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH HELP!!! I am about 4 minutes away from taking a morphine to get the edge off... But if I just DO THIS now, it will be OVER.
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I am prepping my work stuff so that if I call in sick tomorrow, it's manageable for everyone else.
I am also afraid to be home alone all day, honestly. At least at work I can keep my mind off of it.
But yeah, this is no good. I am good for a couple minutes, then wanting to crawl out of my skin.

I actually haven't spoken with my doctor. I'm embarrassed to say that I'm a medical professional in the drug recovery community myself, so I know exactly what I'm doing.
I am also clearly an idiot for falling into the same traps I see people suffer through every day. It's like people who smoke despite seeing a parent die of lung cancer.
I'm going to make it through this, though. It's gonna be a long subway ride home, I know that much!
Thanks for caring.

Nobody is immune from addiction--not doctors or lawyers or nurses or police officers or addition workers.
Do you have a friend who could check in on you and see how you are doing tomorrow?

Hi takingflight
I encourage you to see your doctor - embarrassment or not - it's often better to hand over the management to someone else, I think.
I hope you feel better soon - feel free to look around in our substance abuse forum too
