I actually signed up for this forum after having been lurking here for years to comment on this. I switched from PST to PPT about a year ago, because I was needing about 3 or 4 pounds of seeds to keep a maintenance dose. (This is in addition to getting rx'd 60 20mg generic opanas that I put up my nose in about 4 days at the beginning of each month, then transition back to tea). Ive got a national qualifier bodybuilding show coming up in the next couple months, in addition to the fact I was dropping about a grand a week on pods (for 14 pounds), opiates fuck with your physique, make muscles flat, make cutting fat more difficult, and make you injure yourself more frequently. It was time to stop. Its currently 9am Friday morning. My last full dose of pods was Sunday afternoon, 5 days ago. I had never withdrawn off this high of a dose of pods before, and had read that whether its pods or seeds tea, I was in for several weeks of wanting to die (Ive done the dope and oxymorph cold turkey, I was expecting that for about ten times as long). I did a rapid taper (quarter dose Tuesday mid afternoon), then a half of a rewash of those grinds last night (had a dinner with family thing). I had some serious restless legs Tuesday night (fiance gave me a shot of phenergan IM, and I took a handful of benadryl, so I dont know which caused it but Im banking on the benadryl) but other than that, just a couple .1mg clonidine tabs a couple times a day, and some temazepam under the tongue at night to knock out.
I know everyone says stay the fuck away from adderall or any type of speed during detox/wds but I took one yesterday just because I wanted to get the fuck up and do something, and felt a little nasty at first but I was able to get some shit done. My brain didnt feel like it was stuffed full of fucking mud either.
My point is this: I thought I was in for the hardest detox Ive ever been through (which is why I put it off so long), but with a few of the basic measures we take for any opiate detox (alpha, beta blockers and a benzo for sleep), this was the easiest for me. We arent all wired the same, and Im taking what most people would consider huge doses of anabolic steroids, which I dont know if that has an effect or not, but Id do this detox over H or oxymorph 8 days a week. Ive got a box of about 5 pounds of pods sitting in the kitchen cupboard Ive had absolutely no desire/longing to touch. Good luck to all of you.
