Opiate Withdrawal Symptoms

What are some opiate withdrawal symptoms to keep an eye out for?  now this depends on if you are trying to diagnose someone else or trying to diagnose yourself.Alright if you are trying to diagnose yourself with opiate addiction one thing to watch for is if your pills run out to early. This is a huge red light indicator that there may be a problem. using illegal opiates like heroin is another anytime someone is doing this then they are heading for trouble. enough about that lets take a look at some opiate withdrawal symptoms.

Opiate withdrawal symptoms

1. One will start to feel sick or panic when they start to run out of opiates.

2. Runny nose this happens because your body was dependant on the opiates it was getting every day and now they are no longer there so it is like a system shock.

3. Nausea and vomiting will also occur.

4. Insomnia, it will be very hard to sleep when you are going through opiate

6. Headache and leg cramps are quite common.

7. Wanting to use or craving opiates.

8. Begging God to help you.

10. Nervousness can not sit still.

11. Restless leg syndrome.

If you are experiencing any of these opiate withdrawal symptoms I would suggest that you get help. one way to get help is to go to opiate addiction treatment this is probably the best way to get through opiate detox. There you can be detoxed by a staff of trained professionals. I would look for an opiate rehab within driving distance but if you can not find one any drug rehab will do at this point.

Once you find one and actually get in, first thing that will happen is you will be given medications to help ease the pain of opiate withdrawal. they will more times than not use suboxone for opiate withdrawal. It has been my experience that this will take no longer than 5 days. During this time you will get a lot of bed rest. do not worry about the withdrawal they are not that bad. I am sure you have heard rumors to the contrary pay them no attention take action and go to rehab right away.
