Guest guest Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Moderator Note: You wouldn't get such heavy duty symptoms so quickly from withdrawal. I expect you caught a bug. -------- Hi everyone. I wanted to ask, to those of you who have personally gone through coming off your medication or have gone through withdrawls, what the experience was like. Do you get fever? Body aches, how do you deal with it all? Are you able to eat? etc. If anyone can perosonally share with me what you went through and the outcome, I would greatly appreciate it. The reason i ask, is last night, i had the most unusual thing happen to me and I'm not sure if it is withdrawl-related or not. I took my usual evening pain meds, oxycodone, then about 45 mins later, I got real sick. I was feeling sick earlier today and I threw up everything, most likely including my pain meds. So about 1/2 hour later I could not move my entire body. I got a high fever, i had the chills and was sweating and i have major body aches. I didn't want to eat or drink a thing, which is so unlike me, and I just layered there without moving, awake yet weak from 6pm until this morning. MY body feels so achey still and my chest does hurt and I'm still very weak but no fever. Do you think this was from a possible withdrawl since I got sick with my meds? I usually do get sick after taking them, but its not till about 2-3 hours later and the meds have already digested into my system. ( i get sick due to other GI issues, btw. ) What would you think? i was thinking it could have been the meds? i dont know, i just refuse to go to any hospital either so thats out of the question. Thank you all in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably caught something but you can have some withdrawl with it. I got a virus and starting vomiting but also because I was impacted and I had to get the motility going in my stomach. I drank nothing but seven up (Non caffiene) because I couldn't keep anything down and I used phergan supposotories. After twelve hours, I was able to get my pain meds back down but my pain cylce was at all time high so I did experience increased pain. I stayed on clear liquids, and then introduced rice and soups. My doctor said stomach viruses and gastroenteritis can last up to three weeks so please get it checked out if you fever does not go down as they may get you liquid forms of you pain meds if you cannot keep them down. I always keep phenergan suppositories on hand because of this and anti nausea medicine. I have also taken Benadryl in the past as it was used as an anti-nausea medication throughout the fifties and sixties. I hope you are feeling better and it is not a pleasant journey being sick to your stomach. Bennie > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Moderator's note: You need to have an EKG and blood work to determine if you have had a heart attack. Checking your blood pressure isn't quite enough information. I am glad you brought up the information since women have very different symptoms than men do. ok Jen, I don't want to alarm you but didn't you say your chest was hurting? The symptoms you described where the exact symptoms that my mom-in-law had when she had her heartattach. Take your blood pressure and if it's not where it normally is then go to the hospital and get checked out. Better safe than sorry.
