Opioids Some help with my plan to go into WD.

You're lucky you have a supportive girlfriend and enough funds to have confront medications. I had to go cold turkey off a 40+mg a day oxy habit and a 3mg+ xanax habit at the same time with nothing to help at all and no support system. It was awful for the first week or two but after that I started to return to normal. The liquid shits should start to ease up by next week or so. Just stay the course.

You used a lot of K. Probably for the best if you don't rely on it anymore. You're through acute withdrawal now for the most part you need to go totally drug free and give you brain and body time to adjust to having no outside help. Trust me it'll be much better by the end of the month. The cravings will always be there but they will subside by the middle of month two most likely. After that you'll just get triggers if you see someone else using or if you see a straw/needle or whatever your routine involved. The routine is as bad as the substance.

Stay the course you'll make it.


I'm not sure about the bark but I was on bupe for awhile myself and doing about 1mg a day. I was able to easily jump off of it without much help. You might consider dropping to 0.5mg and spreading your doses out at the very end. Take half in the morning and half in the afternoon or just before bed. After you're doing to sub-milligram doses jumping off will be pretty easy. It isn't going to feel good of course but you're body/brain should have an easy time adjust to normality again. Good luck, you can do it.
Yeah the K was just for the first days of acute withdrawals.
Ive had enough issues with K so not planning to fall back into that habit.

Was 2weeks ago yesterday from when i took the last dose of opiates and about 10days since any K.
I have been allowing myself to smoke hash joints to deal with the boredom etc.

After the K i had a few days when i didnt even go out.
Just slept alot and tried to start eating and drinking more again.


The last few days ive just slowly increased my activity levels and today i actually did a light strength workout.

Overall i fine now, a bit sluggish and low energy.
 
Today will be 4weeks since i took any opiates...

Started working out again 2 weeks ago after taking 2weeks totally off.
Honestly that part was far easier to recover and get back into then expected.
The amount of fatigue i had the first weeks was rough.
Did not expect to get back into the groove as easy.

Also been cutting down on the THC, so had major nightsweats for a few days.
Still smoking but alot less then I did the first 3weeks.


So far the opiate itch has been almost non existent.
However I did get major Ket cravings last thursday.
Luckily none of my plugs was avaiable then.
But i did do some yesterday, not proud of it but just gotta get back on the horse.

Focus on doing good stuff and hopefully the cravings will get easier with time.
 
Been doing opiates since oktober last year, started my own business and tried to stay away from Ketamine.

So done mostly raw opium since then, also had a few weeks here and there were i did Oxy's instead.

On the Oxy's the doses can easily to crazy fast.
They last alot shorter then opium so its easy to fall into constant redosing.

However with the opium tar ots quite easy to just take a small ball once per day or so.
At most i took between 0,5-0,75g per day.

However it was quite easy to cut it down to like 0,1-0,2g.
Mostly noticed low energy and a slightly runny nose.
At those doses i can go around 30-40h before i really notice the Wd creeping up on me.
Next thursday ive been doing these low doses for about 3weeks.

Im planning to take my last dose tuesday evening.
Then im taking Wed-Friday off from work, im also getting a few grams of Ket to use once the hard withdrawal hits me.

So my plan is to use Ketamine Thursday-Sunday.
Just being home binging movies and hopefully be able to ge through the first few days.

I will also prepare some cannabis and get a handful of Xanax for sleep etc.


Any other ideas that could get me passed that first week?
Slightly unrelated quesiton, just trying to learn, but at your current use, do you get a high, or just running from WD?

Both i would say, now im clean from opiates for about a month.
In the peak of my use i varied doses.
So most days i just took enough to not get any WD.
Then a few days per week i would tske higher doses etc.

But overall opiates has nvr been something i used to nod out or just for a buzz.
At lowish doses opiates makes me very focused, calm and full of energy.
So i used it mostly to have a stable mood, pain levels etc.

I have not used much opiates in my life compared to others.
Nvr really grabbed me like it seem to do to others.
However the Ketamine on the other hand, that shit sticks.

Ive been of the opiates for months now, no urges etc.

But the Ket is still haunting me a bit, i can go a few weeks then get a relapse etc.

If anything opiates gives some short term help, but its hard once you can
