Diarrhea while NOT in opiate withdrawal?
I am a chronic pain patient that is prescribed Hydrocodone 10 500 for pain. Today I woke up with stomach cramps, and pure liquid diarrhea has had me bed ridden for the entire day. This is odd to me, as I am usually constipated due to the opiate pain medication. I have slight stomach upset, but not vomiting....just coming from the other end yes I know...GROSSS . Additionally I have taken 4mg of immodium today, along with my normal opiate dose....and still no relief.Side note. My doc prescribed me the lowest dose of xanax recently, and I took it for 3 days as prescribed for anxiety...decided that it was not for me....and discontinued taking the xanax. Could I be in BENZO withdrawal after only 3 days? If so....it sounds kinda odd.

Opiate withdrawal question! Please help before they start!?
I'm about to go through opiate withdrawals again after relapsing, I've been taking up to five 10mg percocets a day for about 2 in a half weeks, now its time for me to get off of them again and this time my plan is when i get down to only having 10 pills left i will cut myself down to one a day which would last me 10 days. My question is if i do this will it keep my withdrawals at a minimum and not as bad as last time when i had to go cold turkey? And mainly when that 10th day comes will the withdrawals be gone or will i still have to deal with some W D symptoms?Please if you don't intend on answering this question do not post anything such as " you shouldn't even be taking pills" or " Go to your doctor" I've heard all this before and trust me I'm more than aware that taking pills is wrong and dangerous So don't even think about posting a comment if it's not an answer to the question I Posted. I'm not asking " what to do" I'm asking will my plan work.
