This isn't normal. You need to either go see your regular physician, an addiction medicine specialist, or a psychiatrist. This may or may not be a result of you going off the pain medication. It's been a while, so it may be something else. Sounds like you are having symptoms of anxiety and depression, in addition to your physical symptoms. Don't let this go.

If you feel you need more help, there is no shame in asking for it. If you need to go to rehab to reaffirm your sobriety, then do so. You deserve to live a full and normal life.

What else could it be honestly? Its pushing me over the edge and i just want to feel normal again.

know the feeling!! I"m a recovering stadol addict,for those of you who are not famalir with the drug it is liquid morphine that you shoot up your nose.It is used for those who suffer from migraines.I have a year and a half sobriety and it is still hard for me.I found out a lot of the symptoms that you have I had to.I went to see a professional and found out it was linked to depression and anxiety.I have been taking the medication that the doc prescribed,I attend AA/NA meetings about 3 times a week and I have found that the meetings and meds have really worked.Some people dont agree to these meetings and at first I didnt either,but you would be suprised about how many people there have been thru exactly what you are going thru.It helped me maybe it can help you,it wont hurt to try.

Narcotics Anonymous or AA (yes, alcohol is a drug) is the only thing that has ever worked for me and I tried everything. I was addicted to drugs for 13 years and physically addicted to pain meds for 7 of them. It took me a long time to admit I had a problem. I tried to disqualify myself in every way because I don't meet the stereo-type, but today there is no doubt in my mind I am an addict. Addiction is a serious, medically proven disease, and treatment is the only way to get better. It's a disease of the mind and drugs are only a symptom. It's a lot to swallow, or at least it was for me, but I know exactly how you feel. I've been there. Try to be open-minded. I needed to ask for help, will-power doesn't help someone with addiction it makes us sicker. I have been clean for 18 months, and my life is better than ever, not always easy, but I have some freedom and happiness. There is hope. I was ashamed to be in NA at first, because omg what would people think of me. Surprise! they like me a lot better in NA than before, and its not like I have NA tatooed on my forehead, you would never guess I am a drug addict. I'm an intelligent, beautiful young woman, graduate of a top NY design school, gifted artist and recovering drug addict.

LOL... good luck feeling normal. I know if normal existed it wouldn't be an addict. I am just blessed.

Yes ditto what the 2 above me said. I was addicted to perscription pain pills and got involved with AA and NA. These groups are truly miracles. Ive been clean for 3 months now and mentally I feel great. I have my moments but I've learned how to deal with them. Good luck!

Im a 27 year old female. I was addicted to pain pills and then methadone for four years. NA saved my life. It sounds as though you are having panic attacks. If you were to go to the Dr. they usually prescribe anti anxitey meds that again are addicting.I am not a Dr. there my be new drugs on the market. Talking to a therapist works. Also when I get that feeling I make myself get up and do something different. I have to quickly get my mind off of that feeling. Rapid heart beat, hard to breath, feeling dizzy. Its and awful feeling but it is amazing what your mind is capable of. Best of luck! Its a best feeling in the world to be drug free.
