Finally Over the Oxycontin addiction, whats wrong with my body? - Addiction & Recovery Message Board

so ive recently gotten over yet another phase of oxycontin addiction, i have been in this position before and used suboxone both times to assist with withdrawl symptoms.. it helped a lot.

i have some problems that bother me,

im always tired yet i cant seem to fall asleep
once i fall asleep i sleep for 15 hours.
im always cold or hot, and not just a little bit.. im always shivering, or sweating, and sometimes i might be sweating with shivers..

im un-motivated, depressed and more lost then i have ever been.

i expected all these things to happen, but i guess my real question is, how can i get back to normal asap?

im trying to join the marines, and i am very out of shape yet working to get in shape, and its very hard getting up early, and very hard to stay a specific temperature, and very hard to be athletic, physical and attentive when i am pretty much asleep the entire day..

i have immense trouble motivating myself to do ANYTHING and i want to change it,
so if anyone knows what to do please enlighten me! thanks

Maybe it is time for some antideprssants to get you over this hump. You conquered the addiction, now it is time to beat depression, it does happen and being on the right anti-d's will help you. Good Luck!

Hey sweetie are you attending any NA or AA meetings? That plus some anti-depressents may help. In program they tell us not to make any drastic changes in the first 12 months of sobriety. Were you in the marines before?
