Taking Dilaudid For Four Months. History Of Addiction, Drinking Problems. Want Information On Withdrawal Symptoms

Am looking for any information regarding withdrawal from Dilaudid. I have been taking it for a 4 months however being the addict that I am I know that the time has come to get off of it. I have had problems with addiction before and quit drinking 12 years ago, I was sure what I was thinking when the doctor suggested we try narcotic pain management, maybe I thought after that long of time it wouldn''t be a problem....
I was wrong and it only took a few weeks until I was doubling up my doses.
But as I said enough is enough, I had my last dosage today.
Any input would be helpful.

Dear user, I would suggest you to go through a rehab program under proper medical supervision rather than doing everything yourself. Withdrawal symptoms do occur after quitting Dilaudid- sweating, anxiety, running nose, muscle cramps etc. So pls contact a de-addiction center as soon as possible.
