Can Opiate withdrawal symptoms be relieved through home remedies?
If you think you are addicted to Opiate formulated substances and want to come out with out any assistance from the medical groups, then there are a few possible ways through which this can be done. With the help of certain home tips any one can make their Opiate withdrawal symptoms bearable and this article explains them.
Normally, it is extremely difficult to bear the painful withdrawal signs and without the help of medical professionals we rarely see positive results. However, if you are prepared to feel terrible for at least a week and have strong willpower to sustain, then these home remedies can certainly help you. Also be prepared to go to the hospital in cases the Opiate withdrawal symptoms get worse and you no longer have the strength to bear them.
The first step you need to take is to reduce the intake of dosage and gradually make it minimal. Instead of suddenly stopping the usage of the substance, it is better that you prepare the body to get adjusted with smaller doses. This way you can lessen the effects of the consequences, when you completely stop using the drugs. When the Opiate withdrawal symptoms show up, that means you are unhealthy and can furthermore worsen the condition. So take a week or more off from school or work. If you have any responsibilities, then make sure you complete them well in advance.
Opiate withdrawal symptoms include diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, body pains etc. Therefore, you have to purchase medicines like anti diarrhea, antacids, anti nausea that make you feel better from the above sufferings. In addition, keep the liquids, which are rich in electrolytes, which help you prevent dehydration. You should also keep couple of sleeping pills handy, for safety.
It will be very difficult to withstand the Opiate withdrawal symptoms for the initial three days. Try to sleep as much possible. Drink electrolytes as much as you can and take hot baths to get relieved from the pain.
Now force yourself to get up and do some activities. Start drinking water to flush out the residues of the drugs. The more often you flush out, the sooner you come out of difficulties. This is a lifetime battle in which you are the only fighter against the Opiate withdrawal symptoms.
While it is possible to withdraw from opiates addiction on your own, most people will be better off to do it with the help of rehab experts at a professional drug rehab center.

I read a little something related to this post while browsing google news… I became interested and then began looking around, then somehow landed at this site… anyhow, I think that I mostly agree with what you talk about here. However I’m going to go check what additional information I can lookup as well.
I agree a lot of what is being said as well, you have to get some benzos and sleep aids. If you can sleep off the worst of the symptoms your home free but one disadvantage is that a lot of times sleep is hard even with help. Once you can get fluids in you than start chugging water and get some gatorade for the electrolytes. You need to eat lean protein (eggs and chicken) as soon as possible to start the healing process but most important above anything else is to to hang in there even if you think you can take another second of the torture HANG IN THERE!!! It will get better just be strong

I needed to feel better. I started drinking before bedtime then borrowing a hydrocodone 10 to make it through next day’s hangover. I met a user,loser guy who came along with oxycodone30mg. I had no idea how very addictive this was!!! I can’t stop! I hate it. These kids are my world&- am right now trying to stop for them! I have changed&my oldest who’s 9 knows it. Mommy has changed. No soccer, no school visits, nothing but pill chasing! I’m afraid to turn to any1 or my doc! I don’t want to lose my kids. I knew better! Why did I do this to my family. Please advice&prayer!

I got hurt in ’04 they put me on norco 10s to make a long story short now I wanna blow my brains out. I’ve took o.c’s but my norco’s are fine. Every month I run out about a week before my refill and its hell. My life has been ruined by these things with no end in sight. I pray for death most nights even when I have them but never comes. I’ve been out for 2 days now and I just really want to end it all I can’t do this anymore.

I was sober for 4 months the best time of my life…and then I starred again, I don’t know why at all but now I’m detoxing myself its been one day and no sleep, no nothing. I have bud but it only works sometimes. The days feel like years. I’m determined to do this but its hard. I can’t stand this pain
dont give up ive just spenyt the lst 3days detoxin the sickest ive ever felt but i think im coming around now almost can type but tyere is a life past this hell we creaTED4 ourselves
To everyone. Hang in there! you are not a loser because you are hooked. It’s a physical problem and hard to stop even when you have a strong family/friend support group. I know. Currently, I’m takings oxycodone. I need to get off to, I just don’t feel like it yet. About three years ago, I was taking about 4 hydrcodone 10′s. I just woke up one day and decided to stop cold turkey. I didn’t know too much about withdrawals. For about three days I was miserable. I take 50mg Xanax to sleep daily and took all these in these three days. I finally started to feel better on the fourth day but decided to go see my family doctor because I was afraid I might need some more Xanax. I told him what had a happened and he cracked up that I had stopped cold turkey and told me not to suffer next time, he would have helped me. Any, by about day 5 or 6, I felt fine physically, but I still was lethargic and didn’t feel interested in my normal activities. Finally, though, day by day, i began to get interested in my old routine and I went back to norma. I got back on something strainer a few years later when my arthritis started acting up again, but I’ll admit I tai more than I should. My point is you don’t have to go through this alone. If you have a decent relationship with your family doc, then go to them and tell them and let them help you. They can give you medicine to help with the symptoms. I’ll agree that it’s difficult of stop by yourself, but you can if you let your doctor help you. To reiterate, you are not a loser just because you are addicted. Only if you are too stubborn to get help and start committing crimes or hiring other people. I have a very good job, great family, have a doctorate and am fairly well off. I am not a loser, I had this problem to. So, don’t dwell on this and use it as an excuse not to continue to try. I was addicted and am again, but now I know I can get off even if it’s hard.
You can do it. I know it!
well its nice to know that their are others who understand this its like a big rock laying on you that you just cant get out from underneath of i hate theses things i hate what they do to me and the people around me and i hav tried everything and nothing will take away the rediculos feelings u get when stopping but clonadine and phennegren help some clonadine will help relax you so you can sleep and phennegren with the stomach part of it but u will still feel a little shitty i cant believe the dr can do this to us but cant give us anything that isnt addictive to counter act the withdrawls its bs if u ask me
Im on day 2 of detox yes it is misrable but you can do it. I was taking whatever I could get my hands on mostly oxycontin and 30 mg roxi . I’m in bad pain right now I had a complete knee rebuild with cadaver parts it didnt take I was still in pain even with the meds
so my best friend and love of my life both decided to stop and get our life back. You can do it try to have someone with you! It helps for my 2nd morning of withdrawl my honey showered me with gifts nothing huge just comfy clothes and amazing socks 
just pray I did after I took my last blue for 35 min I prayed my heart out and begged my honey to help me thru I’m going first he is still tapering. So I hope I’ll be good enough to care for him next week. That will be his time. Im sending good thoughts to all of you doing the same thing. Good luck god bless!
This was a suggestion that popped up when i was typing something into the search, and i decided to read comments bc I am an addict. I started in highschool with Oxy80 and moved to heroin by my early college yrs and continued to use for many yrs. I have been clean and sober for five yrs now, i went into rehab, detox centers etc., nothing seemed to work. honestly i was just tired of being a junky and decided to white knuckle it. I did use excedrine back and body, something for stomach/bowel problems and i used nightquil. Made sure i had several days off work, but by at least day three find something to do bc the mind is diseased and will cause u to do this u dont wanna do. it is gonna take about a month to feel totally normal and about a year to start feeling strenght against ur addiction. hope this helps ppl, I truely am happy I made the step to get my life back, hopefully some of u will have the courage to stay strong!
Co-q10,5-htp, vitamins, l dopa, and flaxseed..combined with two 20-30 min sauna session(became my best friend..sweat all those chemicals our) and eating healthy…no fast food or preservatives. You WILL feel better…that being said insomnia is still gonna b there for awhile. But I couldn’t stop for years…always tryin energy shots and whatnot to help..key is to COMPLETELY be healthy in every aspect(not many ppl are that’s why they take drugs to feel good…I was one)you WILL feel better after this
Sounds horrible.I am the parent of a 21 year old girl who is hooked on oxys.She came home with 2 strips of suboxone she got from a friend; it is the weekend. She finally had to take a little less than half of the strip last night for her discomfort. What do we do next until we can get to a doctor tomorrow. I have no idea what today is going to be like; her 2nd day in
I’m so scared I take up to 7 30s daily, no exaggerating, I start withdrawing even if I take them everyday, so I just keep doing them until I go to bed, i’m trying to detox on my own & I’m scared today I did one at 6am & left my.last 2.at home while I went to work I waa sitting at my desk and literally felt like I had taken a shower, I was drenched in my own sweat!!
my vision was so cloudy I felt like crap child sweats, as soon as I got off I went home & did one now I’m just sitting here thinking air tomorrow & the next day & the next, etc. I have one left for in the morning & then I’ll really be starting my detox without medical help, I’m so bad that when I do a 30 it doesn’t do anything… So I would do 2 at a time so now I’ve come to this, wish me luck I hope I can do this as well as everyone e else out there struggling!!!
I just wanted to say to you all how sorry I am! I am nearing the end of week three and still have trouble sleeping some nights and am in too much pain to take care of my baby. I became addicted when I had a back injury following my baby’s birth, and just kept getting prescribed Oxycodone and Hydrocodone. It was only a small amount, maybe 2 or 3 5 mg pills a day, but when I’d “taper off” the back pain got worse so they gave me more. I had MRI’s and X-rays and finally my Primary Care doc thought I was addicted. I didn’t know that withdrawals could make you have back spasms and physical pain so my husband and I had no idea that I might actually be better already but the drugs messed with my system. I have lost a couple months of time with my baby and my husband enjoying our new family, spending it instead in pain, sick, and depressed. I’m getting better now, slowly, am unfortunate enough to have to go the long route, some of the drug places I have called said it would be at least 3 weeks in my case. Those pills will ruin your life. Even to the person who does street drugs, I feel just as sorry for you as anyone who was given these as a prescription only to find out how terrible they are…nobody deserves to go though this, these drugs are very powerful, but you can win against them, and I hope everyone on here finds the strength to get through it and never use them again!
