Opioids Need advice for quitting H/Fent

[opiandy]

I currently use about 1g per day, .5g in the morning and 5.g at night, of what is supposed to be heroin, but I know it contains fent, simply from failed drug screens in the past.

That is a reduction of about 1g per day. I want to continue tapering until I'm down to nothing, and am curious if anyone has had any success in doing something similar. Is there anything I can take once I get to a small amount to help with any WD symptoms?

Any advice is appreciated.

I went cold turkey and was down for seven days,a very precious life lesson week.I needed that hell,if it was easier for me I would relapse.So I don't have the best advice,hydrate,raw foods,sleep aids.I'm sure others will advice you much more in depth.I wish the very best and hope you get clean as comfortable as possible.

I'm 9 weeks clean off a gram a day Fetty powder and it was fucking rough!! I didn't start feeling ok till last week.. I've only done this once before but was on the fent pills / 30s and I taped from 30 a day down to 2 over about 5 weeks then cut two 8mg Suboxone strips into 1/4 then 1/8 and that detox / clean time was nearly painless .

I'm 4 months clean off fentanyl (rehab). When I was using I was desperate I would do anything for a fix. When they took me off it, though, I didn't get any w/ds because I'm on suboxone.

When I was still a teenager I used to buy poppy seeds by the kilogram and make tea out of the extraction and it was pretty good, got me pretty fucked up off some drug combinations, especially combined with phenibut.

I thought you had to be clean for 3 days before taking suboxone? That's what the clinic tells me.

Were you taking suboxone with fent in your system? I'm being told that I have to go 3 days without anything or I will go into wd's if I take suboxone with fent in my system.

I waited 24 hours as I have many times before.. no problem unless you have an extremely lethargic metabolism.
Clinics say three days to play it safe .

Having to wait 24hrs to 3 days dope sick before getting on Suboxone sounds too challenging without serious comfort meds or being knocked out cold from something.

Phenobarbital, Clonidine, Valium, Gabapentin, and Seroquel are some of the best comforting meds. Anything that induces sleep or removes from reality.

Agree percent... Xanex is the only thing that knocks me out .. colonipan or valume would also be nice but all these can be difficult to Get .

Phenobarbital and Clonidine get the most work accomplished during sunlight hours. Xanax and Seroquel put in the best work a night.

I would highly recommend trying to transition to something like Buprenorphine or Methadone as opposed to titrating fully using Fentanyl. It's too difficult to make the small adjustments required for success when you are using drugs of dubious origin/potency. These drugs could allow you to have some stability. You would know exactly how potent they are and adjust your dosage accordingly. If you get these maintenance drugs from legitimate channels, you would then have a completely reliable and stable means of getting through your taper.

As far as comfort medications go, Gabapentinoids are often the most helpful. They are my number one go to. Clonidine is great for mild discomfort and for helping with sleep. I always recommend Cannabis for the effects on appetite, nausea, relaxation and of course, sleep.

I'm going to try to write a little more here later when I have the time. let me know if you have any specific questions man.

Keif has probably the best answer.. makes sense especially for people seeing life starting to crumble.. subs can really stabilize things before it's to late .. I didn't go that route because I wanted to be completely free and not trade one needed substance for another that I would ultimately have to get off with even worse withdrawal.. I wanted my old life back enough to taper then power through detox / WD ..
Good luck to anyone trying to get better

You get precipitated withdrawals with too much fent in your system still. Do not take subuxone until clinic says its ok. Now i heard you can get just bupenorphine microdosed or via low dosing injection whitch releases it slow enough not too throw you in horrible withdrawals.
