Oxys, xanax as comfort meds? Dude the whole point of the taper is because im not ready to quit. So i can ease off. Thats why im doin it. So i can quit the dope in a safe way. Yea 3 months is a long time but not really when ur talking about a habit of years. Why do u think most rehab places are 30days to 6months? If i wanted to go cold turkey i would, but i have a job and i work another one part time, so im really busy and cant afford to be semi functional. And ive never actually attempted a taper. But thats how real doctors get their patients off meds! So imma give it a try.

Thats not the point of a taper. U wanting to do a 3 month taper does sound like u dont want to quit. I would call it more like ur lowering ur tolerance, than u trying to get off. thats just my opinion, what do I know tho Ive only been in the game for years 8).
I do agree u can taper to fast, but going that slow is inevitably going to end up in u breaking the taper esp wen ur tol comes down some & the high gets better

Yeah, I see how the differences in the opinions of normal people on other forums lead sometimes to a rage, anger, insults,offends etc. So I can see what can happen here amongst us, ill people, with our emotions controlled by drugs, so I'm not gonna sweat to persuade others to my opinion. And there is as many opinions on that topic as many people here. Just please respect each others input, don't have to agree with other people but respect! And stay safe

That's how it supposed to be, right? We are all in one pot. We're all like brothers and sisters and we all have our own opinions and experiences wewant to share with others . Always to help and never to harm.

hey guys im back im just on hear to get ur guys opinion on a method for quitting dope and if anybody has tried it. i was reading this article called mega dosing on vitamin c to stop opiate withdrawl heres the link http://opiateaddictionsupport.com/how-to-use-vitamin-c-for-opiate-withdrawal/ (not sure if i did this rite). its a site ran by a former opiate addict turned therapist to get off dope he doesnt use the traditional medicine route every addiction specialist uses. they simply tell u to order this stuff called sodium ascorbate and take as directed on the site. It caught my interest becuz ive tried many times to off dope and some of the times i was put on methadone or other maintenance drugs to simply stop doin dope, but the problem was i ended up in a state of pure withdrawl due to comin off maintenance drugs so when i seen this i said im gonna give it a go the sodium ascorbate came yest. and was thinkin about given it a go. The only problem is im very skeptical of it actually working becuz ive never heard of this method. I know the guy knows wut hes talkin bout becuz in other articles on the site he cited gabapentin as bein very beneficial during opiate withdrawl which i know is true becuz ive had it before. wen i heard of the vitamin c route im like hell yeah wut kind of withdrawl can come from vit. c. Has anybody heard about this route or ever heard of any of ur friends try this has me real curious.

Just remember that nothing is going to completely take away withdrawals besides more opiates. You have to be strong and remember what your trying to accomplish by detoxing (i.e. Better life) don't start a detox regimen thinking that you aren't going to feel withdrawals. A lot of the things mentioned that site will help keep the withdrawals some what manageable, but you are going to have to tough through some pain and suffering. But just make sure you remember what you are going through the next time you feel you might pick up and use. Use the pain as a reminder as to why you went through it on the first place. Good luck, I wish you, and anyone else that are going thru that, the best.
Yes!!! It def helps with the withdrawals. Take right after ur last dope usage and take every few hours to help keep the withdrawals at bay. It DOES NOT help u get high or even eliminate withdrawals at ALL however it does help keep them just enough tolerable that you can still function!!! I love kratom. It has helped me tremendoulsy. I highly recommend.

Try it! It works at least for me. It really helped during moderate wd's big time. Although I couldnt really notice it working in severe withdrawal because it was so bad that doesnt mean it wasnt working. I used around 3-4g (3000-4000mg) of vitamin C diluted in water.
It helped me with the general feeling of anhedonia and RLS or basically restless never feeling comfortable, feeling.
I think it isnt popular because drug companies dont advocate or spend money on research for something like vitamin C because they couldnt make any $$ off of it.
Thanks for posting this, I should have mentioned it while we were on the topic. I tried gabapentin & Idk if I got any relief from it but I deff noticed the vit. c helping.

I love getting high when it's nice out like this, sitting outside in the warm sun on my lounge swing. Nodding in and out off consciousness. Smoking tons of cigarettes. Well not really smoking them, more like lighting them, taking a couple drags, and then just holding them while they burn to waste. Ruining another pair of sweat pants from dropping them on my lap and not noticing until I'm waken up to a burning sensation on my leg, lol. And a big pile of ash next to it. I had a using buddy who had burn holes in every pair of jeans he owned, some even with black marks near the knees from putting the spoon on it after cooking up his shot. It looked really bad. It was embarrassing to be seen with him in public because he looked like such a scum bag, lol. And I would tell him that too. I would also tell him to not let the flame touch the cooker, you don't get the black shit on the cooker and I was taught that it's not good for the dope. Anyways, I hope everyone is doing good, for those who are detoxing and/or tapering, the best of luck to you. And for those who aren't, stay safe out there. The weather is getting nice which means the cops are gonna start making their presence known out there.

Yes! Kratom works! It is expensive though. And there is many different strains of kratom... Some much better than the other ones to help with opiates W/D's so do your research before you buy it. You wanna get the most for your $$$!
And vitamin C does miracles too! I know many alcoholics and drug addicts are told to take vitamin C when recovering because our bodies lack it big time when we are withdrawing and there's many more reasons why it dramatically helps with all the symptoms!! Just look it up online and you will see all benefits of vitamins C and all it does in those hours when we need it most

I was just reading up on some of this stuff and I found multiple sites that talk about how it works and as many others have said on here already out seems that vitamin C is a crucial part of easing withdrawal symptoms because during withdrawal your body is discarding ask the waste in your body hence the word "detox". Because you are taking the heroin or whatever opiate or drug away, it's like a shock to your system and your body gets confused and goes into defense mode and starts using up all your nutrients faster than usual so you need to replace those nutrients faster than usual and most people while in withdrawal just lay around and don't eat or drink anything that's actually making them feel worse because their body has no nutrients left and keeping your vitamin C levels replenished is important and also keeping yourself hydrated is very important. If you ever noticed you urinate a lot the first few days of detox and it's because your body is trying to rid itself of ask the waste in your body but it's also getting rid of your nutrients. And a lot of people were saying good things about that sodium ascorbateas well.
Hahahah. Lmao. Damn man i used to hang out with a kid like that too that you couldnt really be seen with in public! Cuz they look like such a fucking junkie and so shady looking its like damn man clean urself up! Shit i personally make sure i dress nice in order to make sure i look the total opposite . But i def feel you on that shit. Especually when ur normal looking but the kid ir with is NOT. Makes u feel totally uncomfortable and ur assuming every1 is looking at u 2.

Exactly. It's embarrassing. It's like, I do everything I can to make sure I don't look like a junky, just like every other human being that actually aren't junkys. And then people see you walking around with someone like that and you might as well be the one with dirty clothes and burn holes.

I had the worst weekend ever. First off, my great great aunt passed away (my grandfather's aunt). She was the greatest person I've ever known, she outlived 3 of her 4 kids. And the only one that's still alive, her son, is the biggest piece of shit I've ever known. But she was awesome. If you met her you wouldn't even believe she was 98 years old. I had never seen her yell or in a bad mood. Even when she had cancer, which she beat 15 years ago when the odds were stacked against her, she was the happiest, most loving, and generous person. I will miss her so much. Anyways, then an hour and a half after she passed away, I get a call that my nephew is in the ICU from multiple gun shots, 1 hitting him in the head right next to his ear but because of the angle it hit it got lodged in his skull only sending some small bone fragments into his brain causing very little damage. 1 bullet hit him in the neck and went clean through, missing his jugular by less than an inch and his his spine by less than a half inch but causing him to lose a lot of blood and doing him from being able to breath. The third bullet hit him in the shoulder on the end of the collar bone ricocheting it downward and lodging it just above his heart. The doctor basically said that all 3 shots should've killed him but somehow they all miraculously "just missed" being fatal wounds. He just got out of surgery removing the bullet from his shoulder/chest and they are transferring him out of ICU which is good. He was awake and talking a little bit this morning. I hope this opens his eyes to the whole gangbanging lifestyle. He's 15 years old and has 2 felonies and now almost killed. I don't know how to get through to him that the way he's living his life is going to get him nowhere. So anyways, that was my wonderful weekend.
