5 year any opioid/6 year buprenorphine now im quitting cold turkey

[jswitz]

Hi all so like I said in the title I've been an addict for many years. Started with an arthritis diagnosis and my life has been going downhill since. I cant blame anyone but myself but I have to say this is never what I wanted. Anyways now I'm in my 30s still childless and just sad to my core. Im ready to be done with it all and get my shit together. Unfortunately I'm unable to taper like you're supposed to and on top of it I was prescribed 3× 8 mg a day this whole time. Didn't know till recently that's way too much for most people and I'm under 5 ft and weigh 100 lbs... wondering if anyone has experience going cold turkey off such a high dosage. Im on day 2 since my last dose and my mental/emotional state already feels out of control. Physically it's not as bad as I expected just yet. Just looking for any advice on getting through it and maybe some insight on what's to come. Thanks for reading

I'm gonna guess no chance this worked...yes thats a super hard quit and for someone your size I cant imagine you making it cold turkey..I wish you the best and I'm praying for you. You will need detox help and support after 100%.. AA or NA and a good detox or possibly rehab

Good luck. Hope youve built yourself a good support system. Check out youtube, for theres a lot of cold turkey influencers out there. Find some that fits you best and make a plan.
