Iam 47 days clean from pain pills myself. Wish I could give you some good news about tomarrow , but truth is the next 5days or so will feel like you are going to die. You won't die from detox from opiates, but you will feel like it. Hot showers help. Advil helps. If you are able I segest medical detox(I did) .good luck . Please pm me if I can be of help to you. For now just take one day at a time.

Hi Cristen - welcome
I don't know anything about painkiller withdrawal I'm afraid.
Also keep in mind we have rules about medical advice here.
Others may be able to share their experience tho if you get a little more specific about the painkiller?
If you're concerned is it possible for you to see a Dr?

The ER is always there Cristen
I just posted this on another thread too:
There are a lot of free or low cost clinics around - if there's one in your local area you might get some medical advice there?

ER , detox facility, treatment facility, or just a dr. You can find some of these that are state funded or low cost. Wish I could be more help. I went to treatment and they sent me to detox before they would treat me. You really need to be around medical help if something happens. Please get help and stay clean. I will pray for you.

Cristen I'm not American so I have no personal experience here.
I really doubt seeking help for this would impact upon your kids, but not getting help just might - y'know?
I really encourage you to be honest with the Dr too - give them the whole story or they can't help you otherwise.
You could call the 2-1-1 number I gave before, or maybe one of these numbers:

I understand the embarrassment . I also have kids, but would not have them forever if I had not got clean. Tell your dr. Or ER straight up what the deal is they are professionals and obligated by Hippa laws to keep it between you and them. Please don't let embarrassment keep you from getting help. Getting and asking for help were the best decisions I have ever made. Be proud you want to get clean, not ashamed. Hope I helped. P.s. my life has never been better than it has been clean and sober.
