Pain Pills

I've been an addict for going on 3 years, i'll use just about any opiate i can get my hands on to, to tell you the truth, it's mainly been oxy lately, when ive tried to go cold turkey in the past i use some over the counter stuff like, b-12, tylenol pm,etc, stuff like that.....but 1 thing i cant find anything for is the cold sweats and the hot flashes i get. They get soooooo bad at times, and along with the "itchy crawly" feeling you get with that makes it so much worse. I've thought about taking like otc menopause meds for this or something. Anyone have any ideas? Please help!!!!

The one thing I can tell you to help with w/d's is to reduce your intake as much as possible. I tapered down to a couple of pills a day which is very difficult to do but it really really helps. The tapering probably was the hardest. I needed help with that. I tried to quit CT about 6 mos. ago and the w/d's were terrible. So bad I had to start taking again. This time after reducing down they were not nearly as bad.

I can't help you with menopause med's obviously however maybe someone will be along later to give you info. on that. Just know that we are all here to help support each other.

Try the herb black cohosh. It worked miracles for my hot flashes. This is the ONLY thing I even know of that helps. Lots of women take it. good luck.

Going to a N.A. meeting and finding a sponsor someone to talk to about what is going on with you helped me.

Hi I would think that the sweats from withdrawls must be dif then menopos A ?

a doctor gave a friend of mine novo clonidine 0.1 mg blood presure

it's also called clonidine HCL 0.1 MG

it works a great deal I still had a bit but most of the hots and cold sweats are gone I'm in canada so I hope someone around there can give you an equivalent.

best wishes
