I know it's almost impossible to die from wd alone but I was tols It's possible I could have from accidentally taking naltrexone during mass heroin wd. The past few times before when I needed to kick I was able to get methadone off the street. This time around it was not available but I knew a junkie would just got out of a govt clinic with some pills. I asked him if they were helping his wds and he said they were. This guy was the shittiest kind of junkie and I never should have taken his word for anything but I was desperate. As it turns out naltrexone is very effective for various types of pain management and seems to often work well for junkies after they are 100% what I didnt know is that if taken in wd it flushes the junk out all at once and causes instant wd. So long story short within an hour I was in the worst pain of my life. pain that made having the distal tips of my fingers cut off seem like a cake walk. Uncontrollable vomiting and diareah, demon chills, and a pain in my abs that felt like a series of different knives tearing open my organs. If that wasn't enough I actually went blind from dehydration. Yes blind thats when I called an ambulence. I don't see any other reason why you would ever need to go to the er for wd. I kicked heavy habits before and the sickness was awful but nothing like this. AVOID THE ER! heres how I was treated in the worst possible condition: EMT and cop show up in my room. Cop looks around and finds a few bags in the trash and a used rig. EMT
asks if he's going to press charges. Cop says nah this is the 4th one today why bother with the paperwork. The Emt wheels me to the ambulence. I scream That Im freezing and need a blanket. The emt says its because the pill was someones blood pressure medication. They don't give me one. Inside the ambulence the pain is so servere that I scream again and the cop punches me in the face which cases me to throw up. Then the Emt asks my age. I tell him 30. He says yep thats about right, your going to die you know. I actually believed him. The only good thing the hospital did for me is get me on an iv fast which hadno effect on the pain but stabilized me enough to regain my vision. The nurses treated me like shit and literally left me in shit for 4 hrs at a time. When I first got there they had not yet done a test on the remaining pill that i didnt pop so they hadno idea why I was so much worst then normal. There was a clinic in the hospital so I knew they had access to everything. After barfing 5 - 6 times they gave me 2 methadone pills which i immediately threw up. They began injecting me with morphine and that only intensified the pain which baffeled the doctors. When the pill report came in they told me what was happening and that I was stable so they did not need to pump my stomach. They then gave me some naseau and diareah meds and left me in the hallway all night. The Next day when the pills wore off they seemed to know nothing about the mysterious methadone and refused to give me any pain meds of any kind. I was released later that day and took high doses of loperamide for the next week. There are 2 morals here A. know what you are taking for wd! and B. Avoid the ER if at all possible. There are plenty of legal solutions worth looking at. Kratom, tramadol, and loperamide have all shown some success and are worth researching for a home detox. Good luck
