Am I sick or withdrawing from opiates?!


Question: Am I sick or withdrawing from opiates?
I have been snorting Oxycontin for about two years. I started out with low dosages but my tolerance has shot up. I usually do OC a couple times a week, but lately (the last month) I've been cutting back a lot. Now it seems like whenever I do pills, a few days later I seem to get really sick with flu symptoms. I'm not sure if I am actually sick or if it's the pills. Usually when I don't do OC for a few days I get sore and anxious but the last three times I've felt like I have the flu. I'm not sure if it's the pills though because I haven't been doing them nearly as often as usual.

probably time to consult a doctor

your withdrawing if you have to ask. Ive never taken opiates, but i sold them for years. i have noticed that alot of people will say, "I was taking them for fun for a while and when i noticed i was spending to much money I tried to quit. then realized i could not". that is why ive never tried them.

If you're getting cold sweats, random racing heart, and fluctuating sense of body temp as well. You definitely are withdrawing.

Try to quit man, I've been through it, I know it sucks but its worth it. And you save so much money

those sound like classic dope withdrawal symptoms. i would know ive been through it plenty of times. thank god i am through that i dont think i will ever do an opiate again.
