Went a bit fucking overboard the past 3 weeks, spent a tonne of money, done atleast about half a gram a day, now i'm burnt out no cash and no substitutes (meth, subutex ect) I know this is a pretty small habit just wondering what withdrawal has in store for me? Shouldn't be to bad huh? I live in the U.K and I have recently attended C.A.D.S (Community Alcohol Drugs Service) to try acquire some methadone or subutex but theres a waiting list of 11 weeks! I am not gonna take heroin for that amount of time...just to get meth ya know?

Also any tips on how to reduce symptoms would be helpful, I also work so I don't wan't my boss knowing i'm going cold turkey.
 
no way,, i wouldnt go to the Subs or anything for this man.

youll be hurting for a few days, nothing too awful, like a so-so flu...
youve done that more times then remembered id imagine. this shouldnt be an ass-kick experience, ;)


seems the manufacturers of suboxone etc. are helping the smack market by letting people believe that theirs is a magic bullet...

you chose to try this stuff ;) see what its about, as a whole, this most prevalent part being the withdrawal, as its what sends most back running. but, i feel i could almost guarantee after 3-5 days, youll feel a bit bothered and some lingering funk; fuck it.

occupy your mind, eat, & sleep.
warm, rather then hot baths with epson salts is nice.

caffeine, sativa marijuana(some do smoke), B vits, most any CNS stim is going to make the creepy-crawly's creepier.
going out into the cold for a walk, or a cold quick shower will hit you hard with endorphins and all sorts of soothing stuff,.. this is what i do over the warm bath/shower.
 
most docs wont even let you on if thats all it is.......you haven't even failed once.......

this was another point i wanted to return to make --
yeah, they see it all day every day. they can tell how well established it is. putting you on subs, or methadone especially would be cruel and un-ethical as medical professionals, IMO...

if you kicked when you made this thread, in a couple of days you could be pretty much out of it, thankful you can only chalk the H-bang-thang up to experience, and grow-on.


stay smart and smarter, lose the luck.

The thing is in the UK it is too easy to get on a script these days. Not just if you are the one pushing for it. I hear of people who haven't even got a habit, just dabble, asking for help at their local drug and alcohol team and getting put on Subutex, and that they were completely honest about their usage with their key worker. Also my brother had no more than a 1 month habit when he got on his last script. It's madness.

The UK government are only interested in statistics and crime rates, not the quality of peoples lives. Zombified people on methadone = less crime, so that's the way they see it.

An addicts first port of call in the UK is the Substance misuse services, methadone/subutex are the first thing offered. More treatment options need to be offered, there are loads out there.

i, by the skin of my teeth managed to remain a chipper while abusing opioids; after days to several months i would w/d out. its senseless to me to try and maintain a habit with the stuff, it is something that experiencing both sides of will give you understanding, and respect which may save many things, including a life, or a life not needed to be a chase of redundancy.

cocaine psychedelics and alcohol, i failed with heh...

i can see the necessity for some people, preventative maintenance constructively in place is a societal benefit, as well as an individual one. though, often after so long the steps arent taken to reintroduce life with out mental dependency, or addiction coping mechanisms. rather the preemptive sufferings have been allowed to be justified into de-characterization, teetering as you put it oliphill; as a method of herding the now blind; whom are now doubly blinded by a much more destructive 'social-narcotic' of sorts; intentionally or not.
 
Thanks all for the replys, been 48 hours now since my last hit, and it hasn't been bad at all, like literally ZERO symptoms apart from those annoying ass restless legs and shooting pains through my limbs, and a bit more agitated apart from that nothing compared to when I went through diazepam w/d, when I think about it, I really could use a hit right now, but not to soothe the w/d just because my main problem is BOREDOM. But that ain't gonna make me go back, if I go back i'll end up with a worser habit and i'm not planning on that. So tbh it's been a piece of cake right now, touch wood. Another good thing was my arms were extremely painful from injection, and I wasn't using poor technique, well I guess I wasn't rotating sites properly so I guess that's why they were sore from all the abuse I gave them. Right now my arms are a tiny bit sore but nothing compared to Tuesday when I could barely bend my arms.
