Opioid withdrawls long term
I had a pain pump with dilaudid for 23 years. Due to law changes here i could not find a surgeon who would replace it when the battery died. I went thru withdrawls without help for 4 days as my pain management dr. Was out of his office for the week. The process was excruciating. I lost 20 pounds. I suffered symptoms for 2 months. It ravaged my body has made very weak. I still have certain symptoms such as
internal tremors, high BP, sweats on and off through out the day. How long will this continue and could my chemical system be off kilter?
Hi
- Gosh that sounds so difficult, and I imagine it was tough with your doctor not being available. As far as your question, we are not medical professions so we cannot give out medical advice but it certainly sounds like you are still experiencing a fair amount of symptoms. Have you been able to reconnect with your doctor to talk about these symptoms? If you haven't already, it sounds like having a check-up to get some medical insight on your symptoms would be helpful to get some answers and hopefully find some relief. This would also help to determine if there might be something else going on. - Jake (Team Member)
