Weaning off sucks

I have now officially stopped taking Bup/Nal, which I’m glad for, I’m tired of all the weird side effects. The downside of that is now the hardcore side effects are kicking in, lucky me! It’s similar in some ways to when I weaned off Avinza (morphine), and not in others. I’m really hot, then really cold, then hot, then quickly cold/hot, then sometimes, somehow both at once. How. in. fuck. does. that. work?! For real, it’s weird as hell and impossible to adjust for! Some of the side effects of coming off this crap is what would happen coming off any opioid, some is uniquely because of this medication. I’m tired, I can’t sleep, my head hearts, my stomach sometimes unhappy, and midsection and back hurts. It’s a bit like being sick. Kinda. It blows and I hope it blows through fast. If you don’t hear from me for a bit, it’s because I’m just too miserable to bother with anything much. Seriously, this post took me like 30 minutes to write.
