I’m hoping to find some no-judgement advice. I started using what I thought was Herion, about 6 months ago. Apparently it’s H cut with Fentanyl. Anyway, my lead/access to this drug became more direct so about 8 weeks ago I was able to get it as I wanted without going through a middle man. At first, I thought this was a godsend. Boy was I wrong. I’ve been using roughly 0.5-1 gram per day. I just started a new job on Monday and tried to stop using it as of Friday evening.
Saturday morning I wanted it really bad and it was mostly a mental thing. By midday I was pouring sweat, having panic attacks and just altogether uncomfortable. Sunday these symptoms increased by about 10, but nausea and diarrhea accompanied this go round. I gave in and done a tiny line (not sure of the amount as it wasn’t measured). It was like a very small bandaid on a huge sore. Monday morning I started my new job as planned but not without withdraw. I wasn’t able to sleep the night before, very bad stomach cramping and diarrhea, nauseated, sweats, all of it.
I ended up going and buying a gram on Monday and was able to make that last through this morning and I bought another gram which will hopefully last through Friday. I have got to come off this stuff and I would like to do so with as little of the symptoms as possible, especially seeing as I just started a new job.
I’ve read several posts here and on other sites that it’s good to have gabapentin and a benzo to help with withdraws. I have 90 800 mg gabbapentin and I get my Xanax (120, 1 mg, 1 x 4 a day) filled on Sunday. I’m trying to put together a regimen to quit the H/ fentanyl with as little withdraw as possible. Does anyone have any suggestions ? I’ve read several places that tapering down isn’t an option with this stuff and that quitting is the only option. I can’t go to a clinic right now (I’ve called for the hours), I’m in training Monday-Friday currently for the next 12 weeks and my schedule just won’t allow for it, my work doesn’t allow any absences, excused or not. I just need to come off this ASAP with the mildest side effects
Any input would be greatly appreciated, I’m very scared at this point
