Dear Green Eyed Girl, Opiate withdrawl lasts appox. 5 days. If your on day 2,you have 3 days to go! You say withdrawl wasn't so bad....well to tell you the truth,day one is bad...day two o.k.....days three and four kick your butt...day five is a haze but you come out of it feeling better!! Girl,you are lucky!! You have a doctor who will prescibe you clonidine! Besides Immodium AD(Liquid)for spasm and Trazodone for sleep,Clonidine is a must for opiate withdrawl! It helps to lower your blood pressure, withdrawl causes your blood pressure to shoot sky high,causing horrible leg and stomach cramps! With all these meds you should be fine! Don't ween off your opiate...get it over with and be free!! Good luck!!
