I have a pretty bad sud at 17, I've been abusing opioids, stims, benzos (for a very short while once I experienced wd/hell) for about 2 years. I have ADHD so I guess I'm predisposed to sud and it runs in the family, uncle ex-heroin/meth addict, grandpa heroin addict. She doesn't know this, but my SUD started when I found my mum was taking panadeine fortes and in a curious attempt to have some fun I faked a migraine and she gave me 60mg codeine - holy shit did that open a can of worms. Next few of months I would steal a couple panadeine fortes on a Friday night and just fly, it was so fun. I came up with the amazing idea of pretending I got migraines all the time, eventually got my GP to prescribe me my very own supply. That supply was completely consumed in a week and then here comes the frantic search for dopamine over the next 2 years. I'm explaining this to give an idea of how badly I crave drugs - I complained about my wisdom teeth causing pain so I could get them removed and get opioids pre-op, I got tapentadol for 3 days; unsatisfied I purposely infected my operation site to get dry-socket and was prescribed oxy for 5 days. Eventually that ran out and I remembered - oh yeah I have ADHD and literally take Ritalin everyday, this is where the benzo/stim addiction set in.

Anyway fast-forward, I have run out of dexedrine which I am now taking since I blew through my 200 x 5mg script in 10 days and am experiencing the worst psychological withdrawal of my life (apart from benzos). By the way, I found two stragglers in my pillow case (after a 3 hours search ofc) which is why I'm able to type this much. But I know I will comedown and be back to borderline-suicidal in a few hours. I seriously need advice for this withdrawal because I am losing it completely.

What otc medications can I take to mediate this wd, and would stealing a few panadeine fortes be a good idea (I really hate doing this now days) - but my mum is secretly addicted to them and will probs not notice since her stash is so big (she gets 5 x 20 a month from her doctor and idk how the other packs get there). Would poppy seed tea be a good idea? What do I do I am so fucked omg I am literally spending entire days (8 hours) searching through my belongings for pills I may have accidentally dropped or left by mistake, I fuckin checked inside my tv remote where the batteries are hoping I'd find some there like wtf. Help, please.
 
Not real sure there is anything otc that will help. I have heard of those inhalers where you sniff the cotton in there or something. Not sure what they are called but you know what I mean probably. Benzedrine, or benza-something. It's apparently all there is when people abuse their scripts and run out early. I mean obviously there's street drugs but you don't sound like you need any more problems than you already have.

If you wanna steal your Mom's meds that's up to you. Not real sure they are going to satisfy your cravings. They may make you relax and not go into a panic that you are out of drugs. Pretty sure you have run out before and this isn't your first rodeo. People don't usually blow through their script in 10 days only once. They usually do it over and over every month. What did you do last time you ran out?
 
Dude, calm down. I have abused tons of amphetamine for weeks and months and there is no withdrawal. When you finally stop, you crash and sleep for a day or two and then you are tired and sluggish but that's it. There is nothing OTC that will help. Get some booze or weed to chill if that helps you. I know that amphetamine cravings can be really bad, though, but there is no withdrawal other than fatigue.

The nurse was referring to Vick's Inhaler and while they do contain smtg like Benzedrine, it is sooo mild, really, and IDK how to extract it or if it is even possible at all. I would suggest weed thc in any form, the best though is ingested, like a tincture, if you are in Canada, great, if in the US, try to get a friend's, or your own script is best, ofc. THC plus Ativan, the mildest benzo IMO, allows you to function while dealing with the anxiety you are probably suffering right now.
