Hello my name is brian. I've been taking vicodin, percocet, oxycodone and pretty much any other pain med I could get my hands on. It started 3 years ago when my dentist gave me percocet for a tooth that I had pulled. Ever since then I enjoyed the unstoppable feeling of the pain killer. Work was easier, i could focus easier, riding my bicycle was funner and even sex was better. I've tried quiting multiple times over the years but never make it more than a couple weeks. I really hate this about my life now. I find myself spending 200 to 500 hundred dollars every 2 weeks on pills. I want this to stop but don't think cold turkey will ever be the way for me to quit. Someone....anyone! Please help me understand why I feel the uncontrlable feeling to move, needing to stretch, no sleep and the feeling of impending doom.
Thanks, brian

Once your brain has experienced excitement which you haven't experiecnced in a while, it begins to adapt to the new method you have provided it for excitement. Your mind has fully adapted to the new conditions, as it see's the drugs as a neccesity to maintain your body. So in other words its an addiction. Even though you want to quit, your mind wont let you stop using the drugs.
This condition could be related to breathing. Breathing can be both voluntary and involuntary. You can control your rate of breathing, but you can't kill yourself by forcing your self to hold your breath. Your body will block out your conscious and force your body to breath.
So in relation to addiction to drugs, your mind is involuntary at this point; it wont let you quit. It's very tough to quit after 3 years, but with practice your conscious will have more control over your mind. But of course there is the other option of taking more drugs which just brings you into a catch-22.
Another method is used to quit smoking, but may work for your problem.
Average how many pills you take a week. Ex, 10. Every week set a different goal such as, take 1 less pill each week. So by your 10th week, you will have quit. Good luck!
There aren't really any home remedies that would cure your excessive need to stretch other than meditation. It may sound rediculous, although it is really the only simple free option for a home remedie. It takes extreme dedication on concentration, to summarize, you need to take control over your mind, by meditating for at least 10 mintues for starters, then up to 1 hour a day.
Start either by laying in your bed on sitting in a chakra position. It doesn't really matter what time you do it. Concentrate on the void in front of you, try to think about nothing, only listen and look.(make sure theres nothing to distract you) It is extremely difficult, but by a certain point you will be able completly focused and thus regained the ability to take control of your bodys actions. Naturally you should have removed the strechies. If at any point you feel vibrations, dont be afraid, it's natural. It is the point where you are astral traveling. Its a whole different topic but you can look into it, its called astral projection.
If you can't find any method for curing the strechies, you can use meditation as your last source for help.
The only reason I am recommending this is because I do it myself and it is certainly incredible. It has got me through a lot of pain and I have now officially lost all fear... Yes, it is possible.
This anwser is 200% correct everything he/she said. You can go to a methadone clinic adn then you in a catch 22 with taking pill, just try to taper yourself off, do not quit cold turkey it is dangurous you can go into (withdraww seizures)
sorry i canno spell
Well I've already made it 4 days. But I am having problems sleeping. My legs feel restless and I always feel the need to stretch. I'm just searching for some home remedys to help with the lack of sleep and the needing to yawn and stretch constantly. I call it the strechies
