Hey Everyone,
First off thank you all for the incredible content. BL has helped me countless times over all these years. I'm hoping to hear from folks that have experienced precipitated withdrawal..
Specifically, has anyone experienced precipitated wd followed immediately by a period of abstinence? If so, could you please share how long you were in wd, and what kind of tolerance you have?
I've mostly used oxy/roxys in my career, along with long stints on suboxone. And I'd say I have a pretty decent tolerance; to get a good effect I need between 300-400mg of oxycodone.
I've been lucky to avoid precipitated wd for the last couple decades, until last week, when I transitioned to subs just a little too soon and I got it for the first time. From all of the research I've done, it sounds like symptoms usually last less than 24-48 hours, and this brings me to my theory... if someone wanted to get off of subs/opiates, I wonder if purposely triggering precipitated wd might be a feasible method of detoxing.
For me personally I've probably detoxed myself (or been detoxed in inpatient treatment) around 10-15 times, and it just seems to get worse/harder every time. I've tried every tapper plan I could find, and they don't seem to help at all, I get just as sick as stopping cold turkey. For me the worst part is the long drawn out process.. I can handle being dopesick for a day or two.. but it typically lasts me 5-6 days and by day 3 I just don't have any fight left in me.
So the next time I'm ready to detox myself, I'm considering purposely triggering precipitated wds with the hopes that it might be possible to make the detox process shorter, even if it is more intense.
Like I said I just went through precipitated wd last week, and in hindsight I'm wishing that I hadn't kept taking suboxone, because I'm really curious what would have happened if I had just taken that one initial 4mg dose of suboxone that triggered the pwd. Maybe I would have had 24 hours of intense pwd, followed by 1-2 days of recovery, and be opiate free?
Thank you anyone that has any input/experience. And I apologize if this was discussed elsewhere, I searched but didn't find it.
