| Are you having w/d during your taper? I have been on opiates for almost 20 years. I was doing IM Demerol and Morphine till they placed me on sub. I am having the roughest time during mine with symptoms. I can’t think straight. Some days I can’t remember what was just said to me 4 times. Insomnia… Aches, pain, my nerve endings burn, mood swings, cold, etc.
PAWS is when you brain begins to heal.. And, it can last up to two years, though I have read of others still having it years later. And unfortunately, you will pay as hard as you played. I am looking forward, ha ha, to a long PAWS. I am hoping for the best, just prepared for it to be waiting. Since you jumped before, you really already know what to expect. Maybe it is easier when your body has time to heal from the tolerance. To slowly withdrawal. |
During my taper, I noticed a MINOR difference early as I started reducing my dose. However, it leveled off in a week of so and the amount I have been reducing each day is so little, I would say no WD’s so far. I’ve noticed some of the side effects associated with the drug are getting less severe, which is encouraging. At the end of my taper when I’m down to thousandth’s of a gram each day???? I guess we’ll see on WD symptoms… this is POWERFUL drug. Even minuscule amounts are crazy strong so I guess well see. I have intentions on posting my taper online if I am successful, and I will follow up either way so others know how this turns out. I’ll be actively updating this thread as I keep going with status updates and how I’m feeling overall, like a diary. Wish me luck.
