Open Question: I have vomiting + cold sweats, about 1 1/2 yr. details below.?
I’m 26, 5’7″, and 175 lbs. I’m a recovering addict. I’ve been on Methadone for over 2 yrs and have recently began my detox off methadone. I also take lamictal for depression and anxiety. I’ve been on this for less than 6 months. My “episodes” have been going on for over a year now. There was a constant pain in my stomach. I was only going to the bathroom once every two weeks. On top of that, every morning I would wake up sick… being to hot, then too cold. Then all of the sudden I would be sweating like crazy, my clothes would be drenched and then I would get cold and start shaking. In the beginning this was always before and during the vomiting. Afterward I needed to change into dry clothes, but it was almost painful when the cold air hit my wet skin. As time went on the vomiting came less and less, but the sweating, the cold shakes, they still come out of nowhere. Sometimes I go a week with no symptoms, but I haven’t been able to go an entire month without an “episode”. I have gone to many specialist… a gastrologist, a gastroenterologist, a urologist, and a hepatologist. They ran test after test, until the only remaining tests were an endoscopy, a colonoscopy or a biopsy. I scheduled the colonoscopy, but as the date got closer I started to freak out. After reading about what I had to due and talking with others who have gone through it at an early age, I decided to cancel. My anxiety was so bad, they would of had to put me under. The pain of “cleansing your bowels” along with vomiting, really scared me. I had enough of that when they diagnosed me with IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). Even with simple laxatives I was throwing up and as for the other end… lets just say it was very painful. Now it seems my IBS is under control and not the cause of these other symptoms. I also have acid reflux. I need to be careful about what I eat, but I hate cooking. This might be agravating my stomach. If you have quick, easy, and tasty meals that aren’t to hard to cook, share them with me! If anyone has had similar experiences/symptoms or has any good advice on what my next step should be, please respond to my question. Remember I am financially unstable, with bills from every doctor and hospital I’ve been to in the last year and a half. I have maxed out two credit cards and can only work when I feel well. I need a job I can do from home, hell from my bed! I do have a business of making and selling jewelry, but I can’t seem to get much sold online. If anyone has ideas in that area, I’d appreciate it. Luv and Peace, Melissa

Resolved Question: if i quit drugs, will the negative things the drugs did to me be restored?
i have the terrible disease of addiction (10 years now) i go from one drug to the next every few years. i used to be a happy fun guy but now my personality is dead and i am unable to develop relations with anybody. i now need to use certain drugs just to make me feel comfortable around people and have the ability to socialize. when im not using i isolate myself and am unable to work, socialize, do house chores, or even have any kind of happiness. i tried going to rehab/detox but i admitted myself out because i was so uncomfortable around people and needed to be isolated. when i go to Narcotic Anonymous meetings im unable to speak my mind or get help from others because im unable to speak unless im high/drunk. if i quit these drugs for good is it possible for things to go back to the way it was before i was an addict?
