Opioids The Opioid Withdrawal Megathread and FAQ

Thanks for the reply. I haven't been using that long cuz I have been on subs Living in a sober living. I started using about a G a day like two weeks ago. I did my last shot at 1pm today cuz of course I couldn't make it until ten o'clock last night without spending the last of my cash on some more boy. So today I'm trying again. I got some Gatorade, gabapentin, Tylenol, seroquel, and a grip of klonopins. I already took two k pins at 7pm I think I'll drop two more and a few hundo mgs of seroquel and sleep as long as fuckin possible. Then when I wake up hopefully I can take a few mgs of sub and feel ok. I know it takes a while, last time it took a day to feel better but I dropped 8mg of sub last time. This time I'll take like 2-4 mgs at first around 24-25 hours after last shot. I'm hoping I can make this transition and feel better fast cuz I can't go back to black. The people I deal with and the money and the lack of circulation is too much. Plus I'm getting skinny again. I'll be checking this for any suggestions. Benadryl is a good one. Thanx y'all
 
This was extremely helpful. I am perscribed Oxycodone 15mgs (3 a day) and Morphine Sulfate 30mgs (2-3 a day) and every single month i run out like a week to two weeks early. Only because my back pain is so bad i have to take an extra so i can sleep or work.

Anyways, i knew most of these steps, but there were some new things. Especially taking a lot of Immodium will ease the withdraw symptoms a lot.

Unfortunately, the pain is truly my real problem. I always remember why i am on these things in the first place.

Again, thanks a lot for this. Please be sure to update this is you think of/find any new ways of dealing with the painful withdraw symptoms.
 
Like I said my transition was smooth I would wait until you feel sick again to take the subs , I would for sure get benadryl and immodium that will take everything to a tolerable state along with the klodopin. You got this.
 
^ Sub(s) are Suboxone or sometimes Subutex. Generically known as Buprenorphine, a partial mu receptor agonist that can be quite helpful with withdrawals. You can use the search engine or the mega threads for a wealth of info regarding it.
 
^ thanks a lot. Im not an avid user, ie: ive been on the same thing for years, so my knowledge is quite lacking.
 
^ If you're thinking about tranistioning to suboxone, you has better do your research, so that you know the pro's and con's..

So, i want to make this clear. I cant get anything off the streets, i really only take what is perscribed to me and what my mother gives me. (Shes a nurse with the same digenerative disk disease)

So if sub is otc, i could do it, but after doing some research, its only perscribed because of the power. So idk how to get it anyways.

While Subs are potent in the fact that it takes only 2-8 mg for effect, that effect is quite blunted and does not produce the high that traditional opioids/ates do. This is what makes it a great tool for detox as it only produces a "glow" and not a full blown euphoric blast off that traditional opiates do. For most it merely brings one back to a functional baseline. An Addiction Specialist can consult with you about the effects and legally prescribe Suboxone.

So it does have to be perscribed.
 
Suboxone is one of the few remaining schedule III opioids left in the states and yes it does have to be prescribed but it's not like checking yourself into Bellevue. Comically enough in southern CA the doctor that issues medical marijuana licenses also does suboxone and I don't think they even take your blood pressure or temperature. Just a long form to fill out and a 5-10 min talk. Then pay up and out you go. Although with all the horror stories of people trying to get off it I wouldn't use it unless I was bound and determined to get clean with it.

You may not like my suggestion but the only way I ALWAYS have meds at the end of the month is for my wife to hold them and give me my daily amount each morning. It does suck to give up that control but the piece of mind knowing on day 30 I still have a full arsenal as worth it. Take it or leave it, good luck!
 
Hi all

As I posted somewhere else :

"
I'm currently detoxing from a light codeine habbit (300mg each two or three days with some binge), I'm at day 14 and relapsed yesterday (I do not plan to resume use, I will not buy more codeine today, tomorrow or whatever). Do you think I will experience a strong setback ? At day 13, my symptoms was depressed feeling, not feeling really well in my body, a bit hard to sleep at night. Today I'm okay physically, only a bit depressed, I still feel the improvement of my condition given by my 300mg dose from yesterday, but I fear going back to day 3 tomorrow or shit like that.
"

Advice plz :s ?


edit : one advice : if you have time and you are ready to endure pain, plz don't go on the sub/MMT route. Ive detoxed from heroin and sub (jumping from 3 - 4 mg), and heroin was walk in the park compared to sub. Okay heroin is harder mentally and physically, but you can see improvement day by day. With sub, you are under the impression it never get better. Mental side is easier, but when you begin having HARD symptom at day 3->4 you know you are in this position for 1 week at least (and that's generally recovery position and/or fetal position if you want to play with words). And after that symptoms resolve week by week, not days by days. It's almost impossible to not relapse after 1 month of feeling bad. I didn't sleep for 8 days straight, got 1 night of normal sleep (8h), then another week of 2h sleep a night. Horrible. Never again. From what I read it's even harder with methadone (longer WD). Staying hooked on maintenance was not an option for me.

Finally I used a bit more than previously thought (100mg tram (LP) the night after the 300mg codeine, and 300mg codeine divided in two dose the night after tram). I was going to a friend home, doing music, and didn't want to waste the party due to WD. Today is day 2 of no drugs after last intake and WD are not extreme at all, can't say if they are stronger or weaker than before this small relapse.
 
Quick tapper with subs.

So I relapsed and ended up using again for about a month. Recently stopped doing a quick tapper with subs.

First I tappered the H. I did it in a strange way, after smoking, I waited about a day and took about 4mg of sub. Picked up some H, and at this point it was extremely easy to tapper the H since smoking it wasn't really doing anything. After I finished, waited about 24 hours. Cut a 8mg sub into 5 pieces. 2 pieces on day 1, 1 piece on day 2, half a piece on a day 3.. didn't take anything on day 4.. Haven't felt any withdrawal what so ever.

Not sure if my little tappering trick will work for anyone else, but this was by far the easiest withdrawal.
 
Been on sub for over 5 years. For the last 2 years only .8mg a day. Yes I meant .8mg. One strip last me 10 days. I'm sick of being dependent on this shit. I don't use anything else. I want to be clean for the first time in 20 years. I tried to go cold. After 2.5 weeks I couldn't deal with it, I gave up and started my dosage again. I had vacation time for work and I tried to do a 28 day impatient to get off suboxone and they actually told me I didn't do enough drugs to be eligible for rehab!! WTF! So I wanted to know tips, advice, is their anyone out there who has conquered this completely. Without becoming dependent on something else? What's this vivitrol about? Would that work? Sometimes I wish I could just sleep for a month straight and wake up to a fresh start. If you took the time to read all of this then your amazing, I'll take any advice you have. If your going to call me a bitch and tell me to suck up withdrawal then please just move on. I can't deal with. It might be a minor irritant to you but I can't take the restlessness. I almost set my foot on fire the last time to stop the restlessness. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
 
Hi. I'm on day six of oxycodone withdrawal and the anhedonia and depression are worse than the first five days. I've tried posting and sending messages and no one has answered. Any ideas?
