i love how oxycodone is not on the first glance list. lets me pretend da withdrawals aren't bad.

I'd say prolly cause most straight up opiate addicts use oxy as a stepping stone to their point of having to WD/quit.
IOW's, at least in the NE US, the common thread seems to be that people switched from OxyContin to dope cause Oxy's are just too fuckin expensive.
So, heroin WD is much more prevalent as a last step of addiction drug.
I see your posts on here and I bet you already know this. But I'm gonna post it anyhow.
 
i must say, believe it or not, that tramadol is by far the worst drug to withdraw from. i have used lortab, percocet, heroin, and cocaine heavily at various times. cocaine was no big deal. whenever i had it (no matter how much) i would do it all insanely quickly, like a couple 8-calls in a 24 hour period. but whenever out, i wouldnt really crave it. lortab and percocet withdrawal sucks but you can deal with it. heroin withdrawal is a total bitch. complete misery for days. but tramaddol......that sick mother fucker tramadol.......it the absolute worst. for a long time you could buy them online like candy.....snip. i was ordering from several sites and consuming about 360 a week, give or take. withdrawal from tramadol is not something i would wish on my worst enemy. ok, well maybe child molesters and rapists and my fantasy football players who shit the bed in the title game, but you get my point. speaking of shitting the bed.....if you quit tramadol cold turkey after using heavily for an extended period of time, be prepared to shit yourself several times an hour for at least a week to the point where it feels like you are hammering nails into your anus every time you try to wipe. also be prepared to not be able to ingest anything but gatorade for a week. also be prepared to not sleep for a week, no matter how much benadryl or nyquil you consume. also be prepared to not leave your bed for a week and for your sheets and mattress to be soaked in your sweat even though you are freezing cold. moreover, be prepared to be adamantly suicidal. and even when the worst of the physical symptoms subside, be prepared for the psychological effects to last for months and the cravings to last even longer.

im surprised to see so few posts about the horrible effects felt from tram w/d. it seems that there is a misconception about its potential for addiction due to its schedule/controlled substance classification. i can speak from experience and warn people that while heroin w/d is absolutely terrible, tramadol w/d is surprisingly SIGNIFICANTLY worse. i realize that a lot of people will find this hard to believe but it is absolutely the truth. i have never been addicted to alcohol or benzos so i cant speak to their w/d effects relative to heroin, percs, hyrdros, coke, or tramadol, but i find it virtually impossible to imagine anything worse than tramadol w/d. i would rather cut off my dick with a rusty butterknife than go through tram w/d.

im interested to see if anyone agrees/disagrees with me. im sure that different substances affect brain chemistry differently depending on each persons physical and psychological make-up so my experience wont necessarily apply to all users, but id still like to hear from others on their experiences with tramadol relative to other drugs they have used and withdrawn from, either gradually by titration, or via that heartless ugly herpes-infested skanky bitch named cold turkey

Heroin w/d is worse than a high dose oxy habit ? Oxy withdrawal is a walk in the palk is what I want to take from this lol.
 
from personal experience (Ive never done benzos but I've heard they're bad), it's got to be heroin. Had to kick cold turkey for a few days once after getting a pretty big habit. HELL. At the peak of it it felt, and sounded like (to me), I had been plugged into a 5000 volt electric current. Everytime I moved my head it would get louder: zzzzzz ZZZZZAAAPPP. No sleep at all. Sweating and freezing. Vomiting up bile. It's too uncomfortable to lie in bed but you have no energy to do anything.

Seriously, if they want to break the terrorists at Guantanamo, get them a good habit going, and then cut them off.

This is such a mellow ruiner. fuck you.
 
good point bluesaffron.

they employ/employed? physicians and psychologists to determine the best methods to "break" prisoners and get them to divulge information. they use sleep deprivation, fuck with temperature regulation, uncomfortable body positioning, etc etc. - sound familiar???? it should if you've ever been in true withdrawal.

when one is truly in the throes of withdrawal, he or she will essentially do anything to alleviate the agony, including but not limited to, confessing secrets. i would much rather be water-boarded than experience true withdrawal. and one in that situation would pretty much say or do anything to escape it.

note: i'm in no way saying these methods are acceptable, but rather that they would indeed be effective

ahhhh....i remember the days when the mellow of weed was enough

nostalgia about not needing hard drugs to get by is probably indicative of a pretty fucked up existence

:(

The US has forced morphine dependance on people and rapidly detoxed them as an interrogation technique in the past.

Yes weve all been through the horrible opiate WD, me detoxing many times in jail, which included but not limited to, shitting my scrubs, fainting from dehydration because couldnt even keep water down, sleepless weeks, hot/cold clamy stinky thick sweats, etc.

But....I never experienced real hell until the BENZO WD came!! Atleast with heroin wd you still have your mind intact! Your mind goes nuts on benzo wd its so weird I dont even know how to explain it, youre like in another dimension nothing feels real. Its very unsettling.

I would guess that moat people who picked heroin wd have yet to experience opiate wd...and for years i thought nothing could possibly out shit the total shittiness of opiate wd. Anyone know how to explain the head trip with benzo wd?

No, I meant that it seems that you hear/heard much less about people having to WD from Oxy's cause typically it wasn't the last resort drug for the average junkie.
IOW's, when the folk I knew that were dependent on oxy started to run low, they'd then switch to heroin for a few days/weeks cause it's significantly cheaper and does the trick.
Some of those folk would go back to oxy when their bank account allowed it. Others ended up sticking with the cheaper alternative.
But... One way or another, almost each and every oxy addict I knew became a heroin addict.
Ergo, when they did run out of money and/or decided to take a break and get clean, it was typically heroin that they were WDing from and not oxy. I still don't know if what I'm trying to say is clear.
I wish I could say oxy WD is easy. It's a powerful opiate. Just can't be fun. But if it helps, I'll give you false info for the hell of it. Oxy WD is a fuckin CAKE WALK!! Easier than Tylenol with codeine!!! Oxy WD FTW!!!11!!!1! :-)
 
Ambien has been hell. I have been off for 23 weeks and the intense stinging, burning pain is finally letting up. Muscle tightness that you can not work out and sedation that just hangs on. It only a sleeping pill, but be aware it has been hell. I have a list of problems that I have over come from this drug!
