There's no real way out of opiate withdrawl. You're going to suffer one way or another unless you're medicating with opiates or opiate like substances. Methadone is wonderful, bupe is alright.
My advice, lots of alcohol, benzo, clonadine for hot/cold flashes, more benzos, entertainment like video games and what not. Lots of soup/tea/liquids/solids and lots of immodium. Tramadol sounds like a winner. I used to abuse the fuck out of it like 500mgs a minimum dose and I know how it works. Seems like it would be something good for opiate withdrawl. I'm still fighting an addiction and I have never been addicted to anything like heroin in my entire life before a year or two ago.
To me its the stomach aches, the restless leg syndrome, the veins pounding, muscles pounding with pain, the hot and cold flashes, the demon on my back SCREAMING to me BUY MORE DOPE YOU DONT HAVE TO SUFFER! the fucking lot of it makes me sick.
I do it though, again and again, and do you know why I do it? Because opiates make the world a whole lot bearable, enjoyable, numbing, wonderful, even tolerable. MDMA is the only other drug i've ever enjoyed this much. It's sickening what opiates do to you when you're not on them. You want to crawl out of your own skin, even put a bullet in you skull. I hate this drug but I love it.
Ibogaine sounds like the golden ticket out of this mess. I've watched/researched a lot about it. I think I can obtain it in pure pharmaceutical powder form on my own with out involving a clinic for the detox and pills and 5,000USD out of my bank. Any thoughts?
