Opioids Going to Turkey in 2 Weeks. Do I have enough to taper?

[zagoren]

I don't want to be sick on my Trip. It would be a disaster. Just need to know if i have enough to comfortably taper during my trip. or should i try to "cold turkey" it now

IMPORTANT NOTE:
i have enough left to give me 60mg/day till the end of my trip on October 19th.


I currently take oxycodone. Im real erratic with the dosage but i can say i've take an average of 120mg day for one month.

here are my last few days dosage (erratic as i said, due to not having any for 24 hrs.

tues 60 mg morning 60mg before bed
wed 60mg noon
thur 90mg noon 60mg before bed
fri (today) none yet



Any advice would be greatly appreciated

PS. I've been thru withdrawal a couple of times. its bad...but not the worst...

Do you know the film Midnight Express? Go cold turkey now instead of getting old in Turkey.

lol...you can easily buy opium and heroin as well in Turkey.Opium would be easier and less frowned upon by the locals,and as long as you are using the drugs and not smuggling them or selling them then you will be ok...Turkey has long been a grower of opium as well as cannabis,and while turkish prison is the last thing anyone wants , you can easily obtain user amounts of opium and be safe as long as you watch out for the cops..lol..many of the cops can easily be bribed for a small amount of US dollars...just be sensible and find the local hash smokers and then ask about opium when they get to know you.And be prepared to haggle over the price,they expect it and is part of the culture to haggle over prices..be careful not to offend the locals and go to a pharmacy and see what opiates they might have you can get also..Good Luck!!

^That movie is the reason if I was ever in a foreign country, I'd be shitting myself if I did anything involving illegal drugs.

My suggestion to the OP is to taper your doses until you're barely taking any by 4-5 days before your trip. Try to take doses that just keep you from getting sick and don't dose until you start to feel sick. This will allow your body to lower the levels of oxy down slowly so you're never too uncomfortable, but you will take the levels down to the point where stopping won't cause much discomfort. I recommended stopping 4-5 days before your trip just in case you felt any withdrawal symptoms, they'd disappear before you left on your trip.

Also, did you consider taking suboxone?

 

[zagoren]

I have a prescription.

your post is not helpful. i am addicted after using for 1 month for shoulder surgery.

im not looking for ANY high feeling. Just the ability to work the next 2 weeks and go on vacation with minimal loss of energy.

again, just want to know if 60mg / day is enuff to get me from now through the trip with reasonable energy. i have no need for any high feeling. in fact, i am willing to suffer some these 2 weeks before my trip.

(but i really don't want to prolong the addiciton)

just want to gauge if 60mg / day (with prescription) in enough to get me through the trip.

 

[HooverMan]

Yeah Zagoren, I'm with lou lou reed. Rent the movie before you go and tell me if it's smart to hide it in your chonies around an airport there. Those ppl in these 3rd world countries are brutal and will hang you by your balls if you're caught. I'd rather kick a habit and suffer short term then go to one of their god awful prisons for 89 yrs to life for a fuckin joint or whatever you have.

thanks. i like your advice. i don't ill need the suboxone. ive done this twice before in the last 5 years. wasn't too bad.

the only fear i have is sometimes wd lasts 2-3 weeks....and not 4-5 days....especially the feelings of weakness and lightheadedness. which make vacation miserable

 

[DavisK4high247]

Thats why you don't have any drugs at the airport!! lol..opium and hash are part of the culture in turkey,just do not cause any problems while you are there like insulting locals and do not try to take any opium or hash to the airport like an idiot and you will be ok...lol..I hav eactually been to Turkey and found opium to be easy to get and I only bought a few grams at a time ,and of course made sure I had nothing,not residue or anything when I left the country.
No one ever bothered me especailly cops.I did not run around with a pipe in hand and show off my opium smoking in public.You just hav eto use some common sense.Midnight Express is about an idiot that was trying to smuggle hash out of Turkey as I Remeber...This is stupid and common sense should tell you not to try something that stupid as smuggling Hash or anything...

 

[DavisK4high247]

Ok thats fine with me...

Sorry to not be helpful.Go to the pharmacys there and maybe you can get some meds there to keep you out of pain or help relive symtoms.Addicted after one month? hmm.. new to the world of opiate addiction I see..I was sadly addicted to opiates and heroin for 6+ years and I have been in Turkey and used opium there without problems..One Month? Don't be such a little whiny person and just kick the opiates then if my advice is not helpful. Good Luck !!

again man...wtf....im asking a simple utilitarian question. i have a job in which i have to be in command and alert 10 hrs a day. im taking my family on a vacation. i need to be on top of that situation as well.

its not a question of being whiny....im quitting...

just need to know the best way to avoid being "out of the picture" for either of the situations.

as much as u dontwant to belive u getting high, u are

taking 60 mgs or 90mgs at once twice a day is def getting high, taking 30mg 4 times a day then id believe u..

cuz if it were for pain management, shit only lasts 4 hours for pain...

so are u really not getting high?

either way

we arent understandnig if u have enough for 60mg/day for each day of the vaca or what

but yes if u have 60mg for the day ul be fine, just dont go over 60 mg, and dont take 60mg once a day, spread it out.... but u wont feel "nice"..

i hear you. im no longer taking it for pain management. i am escaping the low energy...so i am getting high. granted, not that itchy, manic high...but an "i feel okay" high.

i will take your advice and spread them out over the day and work with no more than 60mg a day. i will even try to take it down slowly.

but sounds like ill be ok for the trip.

thank you everyone. sorry if there was miscommunication on my part.

 

[PillPoppingAnimal]

if uve got a family..

my man u should really stop, u could ruin ur life easily....especialy if u got kids...ur high should be in them not in a pill

if u think u cant get off em just let ur dr know and hel give u subs for a few weeks to get off...unless u can wean down urself

 

[stray cat]

i wouldn't take the advice about trying to score opium or heroin there. whether or not it may have been or may still be part of the culture, it is not legal, and you can go to jail for a very long time for drugs in that country. also, i have spent some time over there, and i never ran across anything like that once--granted i wasn't actively seeking it out, but it's definitely not like all over the place in the public markets or anything.

if you had surgery and you have a scrip, just take that with you. thus, if you got those pills u have that will last u through the trip legitimately, just do that. OR, if you have somewhat legitimate pain, you could make a doctor's appointment over there and tell him what you were prescribed before and for what- chances are that if he can prescribe it, he will. also, i don't know what the pharmacies are like there---what they carry or what the pharmacists have the ability to do--- in some countries u can get opiates legally from the pharmacy; in others, the pharmacists have the ability to prescribe whatever, in which case you could tell them about your surgery, what you get, etc. if you take that to enough pharmacies, eventually one will give you the meds. anyway, hope that was helpful, and i'm pretty sure everything i suggested would be legal.

 

[187coopa]

Just wrap up like 300mgs in a condom and poop them out when ur there.

 

[DavisK4high247]

I would not try to get opium either...

I do not think that he should get Opium either,it was a suggestion earlier I made as I did not really understand what he was trying to say.Also It is not out in the open there(opium and hash) but it is still part of the culture there and I saw it a lot while there and in other countries.That being said I did advise to check out the pharmacies there in my post..And a script written in the USA does not hav eany validity in Turkey or most of countries.AS I SAID he can always go to the pharmacies and check out what they have and yes, the doctors appointment would be a good idea if they will not sell him any narcotics OTC, like they do in many nations.I did not go into any pharmacies while in Turkey so I do not really know if you can just walk in and get some type of opiate or medicine or if you need a doctors script.It is a poor country and often times they have variuos meds OTC in pharmacys because people can't afford a doctor,but if not he can afford one either way,as everything is very cheap there compared to the US,Canada,or most of Europe.Life is also cheap there so I advise being very careful about carrying around much of your cash,leave some in the hotels safe,and get some as needed.Aslo the Hotels that cater to tourists or visitors there for work Have a Doctor on Staff!!!

 

[DavisK4high247]

Check with your Hotel and see if the have a Doctor on Staff/on call as many hotels catering to tourists and business people usually have a Doctor on Call for the guests!!Check that out first thing if you are in need of meds of any kind to help you through your workday and with your pain issues.

Thats cool that you have been to other countries exotc as Turkey...ever been to Thailand? I am supremely jealous of you people who get to travel to these places. I live in the U.S. and the farthest ive been from my country is either a few miles south of the border into Mexico for a drug run, or a few feet across the northern border at niagra falls.
