hey there - long time reader, and since every situation is so specific to each person - I'm trying to gauge where I stand after reading a million posts on here. So I did indeed UTFSE. Maybe you can help me. I'm at a fork in the road... either I keep on using or I stop while I'm ahead and have some motivation. I want to at least prove I can stop H and hopefully it sticks and I can just be a stoner like the good ol days.
So, for the last 10 months or so, I've been snorting H. In one day, I go through 1 - 1.5 points, which I realize isn't a ton. I don't do more than 2 bags (points) a day, and can usually get off with one and a half points in a 24 hour period. When I don't do it, I get mild to moderate w.d... but I haven't gone much more than 48 hours clean in the last 10 months, so I can't say how bad it really gets. I get the usual yawning/runny nose/excess mucus/insomnia/general moderate muscle pains/lethargy/anxiety/inability to get comfortable and boredom. I get very painful RLS, for which I sometimes can use Tramadol, but I just get 30/month tops. I also take a whopping 5mg of prescribed Xanax, but since I'm so tolerant, it has little added effect to aiding in opiate wd, but it really helps the anxiety. I also have 10 or so Gabapentin and a couple mirtazapine hanging around. So if I chose to stop cold turkey, could I do something along this line (or would the Tramadol just prolong my w.d?)
Day 1 - 5 mg Xanax + 300 mg Tramadol + 600 mg Gabapentin + 7.5 mg Mirtazapine (for sleep)
Day 2 - 6 mg Xanax + 300 mg Tramadol + 600 mg Gabapentin + 7.5 mg Mirtazapine (bumped up the xanax as I know day 2 is tough)
Day 3 - 6 mg Xanax + 250 mg Tramadol + 600 mg Gabapentin + 7.5 mg Mirtazapine (if needed)
Day 4 - 5 mg Xanax + 200 mg Tramadol + 600 mg Gabapentin + 7.5 mg Mirtazapine (if needed)
Day 5 - 5 mg Xanax +200 mg Tramadol
Day 6 - 5 mg Xanax + 150 mg Tramadol
Day 7 - 5 mg Xanax + 100 mg Tramadol (and then I'm out of trams)
Day 8 - 6 mg Xanax (added extra Xanax since it's technically day 1 free of opiates, though I hear tram only works on one of the opiate receptors anyways - not all of them.... is that true?)
First - Let's say I had no Tramadol (there's a small chance that I might not be able to get any rx'd tomorrow), how bad would cold turkey be?
Will the Tram just fuck up my WD and prolong it?
FYI - 300 mg in the past has just made me feel better without any buzz, but I still get some w.d but it's very manageable with it. I need about 500 mg for a mild buzz.
I shouldn't get Tram WD after a week of use should I? I hear it's brutal
Should I perhaps save the Gabapentin for when i'm out of Trams instead? or just take them as needed?
I can easily access kratom from a headshop down the street. Should I transfer from Tramadol to some Kratom for Day 8-10?
Note that I'm taking all vitamins on the Thomas recipe.
I may be able to score some zopiclone for sleep... 15-30 tabs from the clinic... I'm guessing this will only help, eh?
I'm just trying to figure out what kind of low i'm in for and how bad my WD will be compared to some of the horror stories I've read online. How big is my habit in the scheme of things and will the fact that I'm snorting it rather than injecting make it any easier, or am I in for a rough time either way? H still gets me nice and high, so I'm not completely using it to not get sick and feel 'normal'. I guess I'm still in an induction phase... I'm very self aware so that's why I mention that I'm in a fork in the road. Either I stick to a good plan like this, or go to rehab. My will is strong, but my body is not... I'm worried about the WD. If I can get past them in a week or so, I'll be very happy not to live a life filled with waking up in terror without knowing where or how I'll get my next fix...
