Hey
@Lostbeebabe just relax and take a deep breath here. You´re going to be alright. We can help you out.
So you´re dealing with Opioid withdrawal. I´m not sure what is in these ¨Opia¨ products. I daresay it is irrelevant, as makers of these kinds of ¨extracts¨ etc of Kratom have been implicated numerous times for including Fentanyl and/or other cheaper, more potent Opioids in their products. I´m not saying your product contains Fentanyl. I am saying that the makers of these products have dubious reputations to begin with.
At any rate, we know youŕ withdrawing from a potent Opioid. This shouldn´t be any different than your garden-variety withdrawal.
Forgive me, my arthirtis is kidckin my ass this morning and my fingers feel like they are made of wood. I´m not feeling like stoppind to correct typoes so just roll with it please.
Your likey looking at 4 days of relatively moderate withdrawal. It sounds like you have not been taking these things for an extended period of time. This is good. You need to take whatever dose you have been taking and we will make a rudimentary taper plan for you based on that.
It is hard for us to know the dosages of this shit, but again, that´s not totally relevant. We are just trying to make you comfortable.
I hear that you don´t have access to our commonly-recommended comfort medications. You have a weed card though. Go and get yourself some very potent Indica products. I´m not sure how you like to consume, but given we are dealing with Opioid withdrawal, there is nothing wrong with completely anesthetizing yourself with a powerful tincture or what have you.
This will be most critical at night. Resting is often the wort part of withdrawal, as our symptoms become more noticeable when our attention is not devoted to thing like work/family. Furthermore, being able to get sleep throughout this period, however little, will have a critical impact on how you feel in the following days. I will say that at least 3-4 hours is essential if you don´t want to completely run out of steam.
If you have any friends or relatives who use drugs, maybe that weird cousin who lives out in the country that everybody stopped talking to after he burned down grandma´s houe in a suspicious fire. Find that cousin and get whatever sedatives/depressants you can finagle. I´m being comical here, but I´m not joking. I was a junkie once. There is wisdom woven within the lines of nonsense,
I understand that I´m a latecomer to this thread. No matter. Anyone in a similar situation can learn.
I would recommend cutting your dose on day one by 25%, then the next day another 25% then two days at that dose, cut another 25% then cut that in half on the consecutive day. Then you need to plan this phase to coincide with a weekend or otherwise a time when you have limited responsibility. You need to absolutely commit wholeheartedly to the plan. For this purpose, I highly recommend getting a friend or loved one involed who can help keep you honest.
Use your Cannanbis to whatever extent you need to to get sleep each night. If your tolerance can handle it, you can use Cannabis during the day too, but not if it is going to interfere with using the Cannabis at night or sleep, as that is when it is most essential to use any medication for comfort.
You need to get through these first 4 days, then you will see some imporovement. You will start to rapidly improve after day 4, but the cravings will be difficult. Again, rhia is why it can be critical to have someone else on board who is familiar with your situation. Anyone with questions, let em fly.
