Not sure where to post but I’m new here and new to my area even so I don’t know where else to turn for help and advice. I just moved from Cali to Arizona, and my pain management doctor has switched me from methadone & OxyCodone, to 30mg OxyContin (2 a day) and 30mg oxycodone (5 a day). I’ve been having a heck of a time making my scripts last compared to when I had the dones and now am facing 4 days cold turkey withdrawal. My doctors a bit of a hard ass about scripts and it’s not like I can level with them about it. Anyway, I spent the last year wheaning down my methadone from 100mg a day to 10mg and even then the switch still sucked and has me eating and snorting my blue oxy like candy every 3 hours. I could use any helpful suggestions on how the hell I can calm this crippling anxiety and the restless leg and arm shit that makes it so I can’t sleep. I’d love to call up a friend and open my wallet but I don’t know anyone in my new city yet so I have no connects and don’t know anyone here but family. I’ve been through the forums and I’ve got Kratom but that seems to make me jittery and sends my shaking leg and anxiety in to over drive. (Yes I’m taking a red strain. I’ve tried Red Borneo and Red Indo, both seem to do it) OPMS liquid Kratom seems to not make me jittery but at $20 a bottle I wish I just knew someone else with oxys. Anyway I’m just desperate for advice on how to cope bc I’m at the point where I’ve considered ways to go find rando dealers somehow but that’s not so easy when you’re sick or finding someone you could trust. I’ve already eaten a few loperamide but honestly it freaks me out with my anxiety but I’m doing it anyway. (Only 16mg but that made my heart race, probably from the anxiety of what I’ve read on it.) anyway what can I do to relax the anxiety and actually sleep. Is there anything out there I can try taking? Gotta make it through 4 more days of this bullshit and it sucks.) helpful Suggestions would be appreciated bc I’m at a bad head space right now and just want it to stop.
 
Try l theanine and magnesium supplements like triple calm magnesium. This is no way compares to oxy and I’m a novice with that but I’ve noticed that it has help me tremendously where I debate on even taking a oxy try to not develop contacts because most of the pills are pressed or at least that’s what I treat them as. But find you a girlfriend. And make sure she got grandparents. until then try those supplements for anxiety and I pray you feel better CBD flower and for you live in a recreational marijuana state. So that may help or may not. But in all honesty I wouldn’t trust anyone unless you seen them fill the script themselves
 
Thanks for the advice. Trying to suck it up and make it these few days but it’s a bitch for sure. Not in a recreational state anymore since I moved to AZ from Cali. I already grabbed some magnesium today to see if it helps me at night but haven’t taken it yet. Waiting for bed time.

I would just contact your Dr and tell him the transition was difficult and you ran out early..

If you cant see the logic in that, pick up some loperamide, 20-30mgs kept my wds at bay, over the years.
 
Make sure it’s not magnesium oxide. That’s trash look for triple calm magnesium and hemp protein from nutiva 15g protein kind. L theanine and a good whole food vitamin from garden of life and like I said fine you a girl who has grandparents they always got the scripts lmao or guy whatever your thing is. Have a goodnight my dude.

Docs super strict about med checks and scripts. If she knows I screwed up she will cut me down if not off. Just got tapered down from methadone which is part of why I’m in this mess. Also I may or may not sell some of mine each month to supplement my income. So I get prescribed way too much as is (210 of the 30mg oxy a month) so no way I can say I went through them all. Which is the bigger issue but I have to find a balance between my need for more income vs need for less pain or facing withdraw. Basically It’s complicated. But yeah not an option for me.

I tried 12mg of loperamide yesterday, and it helped eventually but for the first hour or two I was in full panic mode as my resting heart rate shot up to 100bpm while seated for over 90 minutes. So I tried 8mg this morning, no HR increase, but it didn’t lessen withdrawal anxiety / any major symptoms either at that dose. My big thing is not sleeping, feeling like a I’m a total bitch to everyone around me and could kill someone or even worse myself (haha) and the restless leg and arm feelings I get that make me slam my arm against things bc I’m so tired of the feeling and frustrated to damn near tears. (Not a good look). Sorry just being honest.
 
kratom if is legal in that state and immouidum can also help ease withdrawl I'm not sure if you can mix them, if you have any outher Rx kicking around like gabapentin or pregablin best of luck to you, there are some knowledgeable ppl here

12 mg ain't gonna help wd. 24mg seemed to be my minimum effective dose.
 
Just some muscle relaxers. Taking lope and kratom together (at different times) but also scared of it bc only kratom deaths apparently a linked to use with loperamide? Maybe coincidence but I was reading a few reports about it. (Most likely people trying to combat withdrawal as well. Which sucks and is sad)

Just afraid of a dose that high when 12mg had my heart pumping so much. (45bpm jump over normal resting HR) also scared to mix it with kratom. Yet ironically I’ve considered finding dope. 🤪 Guess it’s just a mental thing bc I didn’t do it obviously. But seriously is 24 mg a day manageable? Won’t I get seriously plugged up? I have to make it 4 days. Sorry for the stupid questions I’m new to this. Back when I was in Cali or on the East Coast I knew so many people that I could swap or borrow and what not or have somebody grab me some if I threw them extra when my script came. Ugh I miss that ease right now.

Also 1) is it better to do liquid gel caps, liquid, or solid pills?
2) How long until it kicks in?
this sucks but I’m going to give it a go before I try to sleep tonight most likely.
 
I havent personally tried every type. Ive only done the solid pills.

Onset probably depends on if you decide to take the liquid or pills. Also Ive always noticed it works a lot better if I dose before I was in WD.

Going to try more of the pills tonight with some magnesium and pray for a few hours of sleep. Just being a wuss about taking so much and about taking it 4 days in a row until I get my scripts. No idea what to expect bc even at 8mg my stomachs all crampy now between that and kratom I’ve taken today.
