[@danharvard6717]

Keep going guys! If you're reading this lay on your bedroom floor unable to get comfortable in any posistion, vomiting, aches and paines, feeling really really low... ride that shit out! Each day that passes the opiates in your body are screaming in agony because they are decaying, dying and they don't want to leave but your body is doing what it does best... its repairing and removing that toxic poision... let it do its job! A new you is awaiting... :)

Currently on to day 6 of what has to be my 6th or 7th attempt at getting clean, My situation speaks to how strong withdrawal can be because for the past 3 months i have been quitting for around the first 5 or 6 days before using again, and today is one of the hardest days i have experienced. I kept a diary (and i would suggest doing the same) and in it is all my thoughts and feelings both prior to using again and also about the guilt i felt afterwards, the disappointment etc. To help me stay strong, i read these entries all the while trying to avoid going to the shop to get more. This is the hardest thing some people will experience in a long time, but you can get through it with support from friends and family, but honestly try keeping a journal about your journey and use it to empower your decisions.

Insomnia was the hardest part for me. 10 days without losing consciousness for a second. A tremendous fear and paranoia came over me making simple tasks like grocery shopping and getting ready to leave the house scary as hell. My mind became a confusing mess, could not decide on an item at the store or what to do with myself. Went to a trusted family member's place because I felt I needed to be around people. He handed me a tablet to busy myself with and I was horrified when I looked at it and couldn't make any sense of it. Couldnt read even because I couldn't hold the letters in place. I realized later I was hallucinating by then but at the time I thought irreversible damage had been done. I'd lie in bed at night after another long 24hr day, close my eyes, exhausted, and feel an electric buzz in my eye lids and knew there was no way I'd sleep again that night either. I could hardly keep my head up after 5 days. My first nap lasted a half hour. Woke up soaked in cold sweat (January, Canada, I like the windows open). There would be no more sleep that day and off to work. Sleep began to come in fits and starts after that. Sweat subsided. Then the boredom and depression set in for months after that. Surviving the acute, insomnia part, and I imagine terribly enhanced pain if that's the reason you're on it in the first place, likely the battle of your life (cold turkey method) doesn't necessarily put one in the clear. Watch out for that second phase which is a different kind of mind game. I made it only to fall back in it. Tried methadone👎, switched to suboxone👍, weaned down to my current daily dose of .5 mg. Excited to be so close. Excited to not have to go to the clinic and pharmacy so often like it's a part time job. Seeking help from others that have been through it highly recommended.

52 year old addict, I was on heroin for years, moved to methadone & was on it for 20 years, beat that. Then I broke my back & required oxys for the unbearable pain...I'm now on day 3 of weaning myself down on them. No, it's not near as bad as the methadone detox (that was absolute hell & beyond, I even suffered a heart attack during the meth withdrawal) but damn...it's still miserable. Unable to eat, throwing up, diarrhea, anxiety, insomnia... The horrible thing is, I'll probably need them for the rest of my life & it's so hard to cope with that fact. I pray that this pain & suffering is gone within the next few days & I just wanna let everyone know that recovery is possible. I love & admire you all for getting clean, opiate detox is sheer misery but it doesn't last forever. Wishing you the best & know you're all in my prayers 🙏🏼❤️

I got into a motorcycle accident 3 and a half years ago... ripping off half my hand and leaving the other half mangled. Turned my femur into dust as it stuck out of my knee. Doctors gave me pill after pill until I was addicted. No warnings or serious talks. Just a lot of Oxy. I got to a point where they made me feel so good I thought going through this horrible fucking accident at 22 was actually worth it. 9 days ago I decided to stop. 1 day after my 26th birthday. It sucks. I’d rather be laying on the concrete with my leg and hand in half. But it gets better. My main advice, Gabapentine. If at all possible take some. It virtually eliminates withdrawal symptoms. I refuse to ever go back. Even if that means being in pain for the rest of my life.

Opiate withdrawal, especially heroin withdrawal, is something I wouldn’t even wish on my worst enemy. It’ll put the toughest grown man you know & leave him crying in the fetal position in the shower too weak to stand. & I mean the TOUGHEST person you know. It’s down right sad. It’s heartbreaking reading how many people are on day 1,2,3,4 or 5 and they’re all from months to year(s) old comments with people asking the OP for an update & either getting no response or finding out that they relapsed and died. It’s gotten even worse in todays age. Heroin (more like poppy gum) is so packed with fentanyl these days that the withdrawal is even more brutal…To anyone going thru it, just know you aren’t alone & that if you feel like no one loves you, I truly do. & I feel your pain. Remember why you started detoxing & keep in mind that if you get thru it, you’ll never have to feel that way again. Yeah being sober is boring as hell at times, but being in active opioid addiction is barely even being alive & hell 24/7. If anyone needs someone to talk to, I’m here.

I was on Percocet 4 times a day for 5 years (all done legally from my pain doctor.) Now, I have to get off the meds because my health is crashing from being on them too long. Here's a few tips that helped me if anyone needs them. 1) Take a hot shower while playing your favorite music. 2) LOTS of chocolate candy **3)Get a bowl big enough to put your face in. Put cold water in the bowl (ice water works best but it can hurt a bit) then hold your breath and submerge your face into the water, stay in the water as long as you can. It shocks your system but, it stops the anxiety feeling. For me this worked the best.** 4)Get restless leg medicine..over the counter 5)Imodium Ad helps with the stomach 6) motion sickness meds worked a little bit 7)Walking helped a bit at times.

Wonderful!? another minimization of reality. Fact: opioid withdrawal can be summed up in one word - torture - and absolutely CAN be life threatening. I, personally, have known four individuals who have DIED from opioid withdrawal symptoms. One was from suicide. Opioid withdrawal symptoms were listed as (1)primary or (2)secondary causes of death in regards to the other three. In most - therefore we should think of as in all - cases of addiction there are deep, excruciating, and quite deadly injuries that are hidden from the eyes of not only others but the injured themselves.

Day 9 off fent patches, dr didn't taper. Loperamide, zofran, tramadol or paracetamol, anxiety meds if you can and allowed. I tried subutex and almost died yesterday and feel like withdrawals starting again so don't mess up your progress like I did! I was feeling fine until that darn buprenorphine. Rather let your body work on its own with some help of otc meds. Sleep if you must, fan and heater or heated blanket, lots of fluid, veggie fruit juice, tell someone and also go outside few times a day for some sun even if just for 5 mins at a time and do one thing a day like read or something. Shower and take espom salt baths. Look after your hygiene. Caring for yourself helps stop the depression and anxiety from becoming daunting. Love you all 💗💗💗💗

I bought a house 2 years ago and since I've been here only been clean of pain pills 4 month here. I went a whole year 3 vicodin a day. Then I switched to perks and got up to 10-13 a day. So many nice things I can do with that money 😢. I have beckers muscular dystrophy but it's mentally killing me. I rather ache then be someone I don't know anymore. I went years sober and felt great for my situation just gonna get back to that. Covid made me more depressed and anxious

As an addict of over well over 20 years, I have no advice for how to stay off drugs, but the only advice I have for withdrawals is, as much as you loose your appetite and maybe feel sick, try your best to eat and drink water. In my experience having a meal in ya, can really reduce the worst of the withdrawals. Some people advise to get exercise and even go swimming, I suspect it might help if you can find the motivation but I find it too hard to do. Eating during withdrawal though, is an easy way to quickly lift your spirits and generally make it seem a lot easier and the relief can last a few hours.

[@Anninukichild]

Food, water, showers, and a little tiny bit of excercise. As much as it sucks. And some people say uplifting movies u watched during childhood

I crippling incurable bone disease had destroyed my life, wealth and sanity. Doctors could, or would , not provide any where near the level of required pain relief. I could understand that I was afflicted for life and could never live normally again. But that level of suffering was unacceptable to all who witnessed my condition. Some time later I was forced to begin self medicating with illicit opiates.. My new GF walked in and said.......If you continue to use, it will destroy your life and take all you own from you. I looked at her and answered......As opposed to what ? The bone disease had already done that. At least this way I could reduce the suffering. For many of us an addiction to opiates is the least of all evils by far. It can save lives, but the Doctors acted like it was not even an option.

[@geezykennedy5517]

It didn’t work for me at all. What brand did u use? Was it the actual plant or the flower ? And how many milligrams?

[@blood_n_guts_murphy]

@@geezykennedy5517 I use when quitting tramadol. Loads of different kinds. MAENG DA is the most popular with red and green variations, possibly more. I buy from various sources online around the world, never in the US. I use a teaspoon of the powder or a few of the largest capsules at a time. First week might be 250mg using around 6 teaspoons a day. After 10-12 days I start taking less and less until 500g have ran out. 350g would be enough for me. You are probably not on tramadol so I recommend trying to switch to tramadol for a week or two. If you can do that I expect it will work great. But once you stop the tramadol or whatever, no more opioid at all or it will reset. You will also need diazepam with tramadol, lets say 5mg for every 250mg you take, to stop the risk of seizures. But obviously don't take a strangers (my) word for it on here.

Think it would work for fentanyl perc 30s withdraws

[@blood_n_guts_murphy]

@@jrod1k ​ I can only vouch for tramadol withdrawals. I was able to switch from heroin and fentanyl to tramadol once. Then switch to kratom. I bought whatever I could online. Need to take for 2 weeks but I taper down to almost nothing by week 4. I ordered a lot yesterday and just asked for whatever is best for withdrawals and he is sending me 3 or 4 different types. I have never felt any high off them so my guess is they are all pretty much the same thing. Maeng Da is the most common, which is fine. Capsules cost more, not much where I am, but powder isn't hard to take. Take a decent sip of water. Hold head back. Pour on top a teaspoon of powder. Then quicly gulp down half a glass of water. The trick is to stop it hitting your mouth. But if it does just drink more water, it doesn't taste too bad. If buying powder I also order the biggest empty capsules off eBay and make my own for when I am out. They allow me to lead an almost normal life. Just get some fatigue.

Problem is that a large number of opioid addicts will fail with total long term abstinence only treatment..some will succeed but not the vast majority..but NA loves to hate on methadone and bupe programs..once you've used opioids long term in high doses you've altered your brain and sometimes it will not be reversed..its just the brutal reality.

My Dr hasn't given me anything for my panic attacks.. That's after talking to his nurse on the phone telling her how bad it was getting.. Anyway My Dr sent me to pain management back in 2012 and since then my pain management Dr has retired So I had to go back to my regular Dr, the one that sent me there to begin with.. He was extremely mad for what I was taking, and said but hey you were the one that sent me there to begin with.. But I told him that I wanted to come off of them and I had no idea that they were so addictive.. That is one question that I can never get an answer to and that is why don't they tell you at the beginning that they are extremely addictive? Crazy mess for sure.. Anyway tomorrow I'm gonna try to start taking just 3 per day.. I just wish I had a way to stop the panic attacks, because they're really freaking me out.. And I'm not sure what to buy that I could get from over the counter for it.. Does anyone here have any answers for that❓ And I'm a grandfather now, so I don't want to be around my grandson going through withdrawals...
