I think the term detox is misleading and wrong. In regards to Opioid withdrawal symptoms and the detox process, let's change the perception of how we think about it.

10 days clean. I literally moved states to ensure that I would never relapse again. I'm pretty much completely normal aside from insomnia. I'm set up to be going to the Navy in about a month or so. Very excited for this new chapter of my life.

Opioid addiction actually destroyed my life. I started doing drugs 18 years ago as a teenage. Got addicted to opioid. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Was actually diagnosed with OCD. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 3 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

I’ve been clean for about 60 days and I remember being in these comment sections feeling like I was never going to make it through the withdrawals. This shit is hard man but you can do it if you really want it. Stay strong kid!

30 years clean. Nothing worth fighing for is worth going back to. I nearly died going cold turkey. The worst for me was night time. Now I sleep good. I don't take anything for granted. Thank you God for getting me through hell of addiction and recovery. Sending love and strength to anyone going through this you can do it if you want it bad enough .

God, I pray that you help me get through this fentanyl and other drugs addiction. I need you lord, forgive me for my sins. 😓

[Isaidit]

These comments make me wanna cry. I hope we all get better

The worst part of the withdrawal for me was the inability to ever get comfortable. I couldn't sleep, my mind was racing, I would feel cold then hot then cold again, my stomach would cramp my legs would also cramp up and I couldn't keep them still and my heart was constantly racing. I felt like I was going to crawl out of my damn skin when I was laying in bed

I’ve literally never met anyone who has felt withdrawal from opiates as a mild flu. I wish that shit felt that mild.

I often feel completely hopeless. I get clean and I always go back. I don’t want to be on any type of medication to get my brain right either. The long term issues is what is the biggest obstacle. Yes, it’s hard to get clean, but staying clean is the worst part!!! It’s so easily accessible to me as well. And I can’t uproot my life to get better. I have no other option to stay here and keep fighting. My heart goes out to anybody going through this!!!

That is where I went back to Tramadol 3 years ago after months of being off it. I could not ever get the energy back and I always thought about how much energy I had being on it. I remember going to Vegas with the family and I had no energy to keep up with my family with all the walking. Then I started a new job that was demanding physically and it wore me out just to climb the stairs to clock in. I was even taking naps at work and yet it's been months since I got off Tramadol. So, I started taking Tramadol again and I felt completely normal! I can work all day and not break a sweat! And then, after a couple more pills, I have energy to play with the kids after! I slept great, wasnt moody, felt like I was in my 20's at work lifting 80 lbs bags of concrete. Then, I realized it was leading me down a road I'm afraid of, one that I shouldn't be on in the first place. Last Thursday my wife loaded the kids in the car to see family for 2 weeks. Once she was down the road, I called my work to tell them I quit. I locked the doors at home and hunkered in for the withdrawals. It's day 3.

For me, the acute withdrawals lasted about 10 days or so (i was addicted for about 8 years). But the PAWS lasted for about a year til my brain started feeling "normal" again. Still get dreams of using sometimes and it'll be 3 years for me in May since I last used

[ronnyclayton]

To put it simply it lasts much longer than most healthcare professionals(who have never had to endure it)would have you believe.You can only learn so much from literature, you have to actually live it and experience the long timeline of agony to truly understand.

2 weeks in cleaning and I’ve put this video because am dying like literally but I won’t give up😢

[Corbinstruckshots]

19 days clean from 6 year fentynal addiction. Its hard. Im doijg it home alone

[meoffjack]

7 years clean here and I won’t lie withdrawals are a nightmare. But if you really want to clean yourself up it’s the only way to do it. I was in pure misery for about a month barely sleeping aching and the sweats and shits something terrible. Couldn’t eat or anything all I wanted was water and coffee. But you can do it just stay strong and when you make it to the other side of the situation you will be so glad you did it.

[alexmurphree]

6 days clean. Its starting to get better instead of worse by the day. Stay strong. We got this.
