Yes, if you can use it just for a maximum of 3 weeks, so I've learned. You got this!
Hey Noah, hope you're holding strong! I've gone a few days here and there and have gotten bored or injured and used oxy. But I'm past 72 hours clean now with no withdrawal symptoms to speak of. A little bit of stomach discomfort that was settled with 2 loperamide tablets, took one .1mg clonadine to sleep last night. No major temperature fluctuations (other than going outside to inside in hot as hell Florida lol) I gotta say, I think a lot of it has to do with these Kava Kava supplements I picked up from a whole foods. I've been taking 3 in the morning and 3 at night (they recommend 3 daily max I think) but when I use kava in tea form I usually drink a lot of it to gain effects. Other than that, no loss of appetite, general good mood, feeling like I'm emotionally waking up again (basically being moved by Olympic stories and anything but to do with animal rescues or cochlear implants make me well up) - but they did while using too, except for on fent- that only made me angry or disinterested. Feeling very centered which is new. Finishing school surely helped, even tho a cross country move is coming up this weekend, it's more exciting than scary.
I'm going to turn this into a withdrawal journal to give anyone else who may be facing detox from a similar habit a good idea of what to expect. I took my last 1/4 of bootleg fent tablet this morning at 9am right after I removed my half 10mcg/HR butrans patch which I had been wearing for about 72 hours. I secured some flexoril (mainly to reduce this spasm I've been dealing with in my right shoulder for the past few weeks) which should also help get a little sleep and combat some rls. To properly send myself off and say goodbye to my dependency, I just got 4 15mg instant oxys. Sniffed one - waiting for my connect to arrive with the other 3 which will be sniffed 10 minutes apart to have a nice climb up before coming down for (hopefully) the last time. I do have a few fractures in my lumbar, degenerative disc disease on a bulging disc, and various other issues that lead to a fairly chronic pain condition. I'm able to quell flare ups with rest, but sometimes life doesn't give you that kinda time so I'm hoping to not have to rely on pain meds in the future, but no garuntees. Gotta allow myself the freedom to do what's necessary to keep my life moving in the right direction, even if it's 3 steps forward professionally and 4 steps back in recovery... Can't beat myself up over that which I cannot control. Thanks for reading! I'll probably update tomorrow morning and evening as needed to track progress and vent. Cheers!
