Hi,
Since when you're taking opioid?
Each individual responds differently, it may depend upon the duration of intake or dosage of intake associated with alcohol consumption or smoking etc. Three weeks time period is not sufficient. You may need a few other drugs to suppress withdrawal symptoms.
Please consult your physician, he will examine and send you rehabilitation or treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
