I was using Dilaudid 8/16mg oral and IV daily or nearly daily for around 2 weeks with oxycodone use aswell, then a week off, which had consistent withdrawals throughout, then a week back on with some morphine er use, up to 600mg in a day, but not chronically. Now it's been 2 and 1/2 weeks and the withdrawal has barely slowed down much at all, it's rough to try and hold down a job when I'm dopesick like this. I tried kratom but it didn't help, just made my intestinal pain worse. Rn I'm struggling the most with hypersensitivity to pain, and constant bowel pain.
I and my family want me to quit dope for good, but the withdrawals in the first week were so bad I caved and bought a sleu of opioids I couldn't really afford, and I know I won't be able to resist using them once I have them. Should I expect even more extended withdrawl once I'm out, is there a way I can taper? I plan to not use anything intravenously this time.
 
Isn't there a Methadone clinic you can go to.....even a family doc

Bring in your illicit opioids even and tell them you want to be clean.....low dose Methadone, decreased every 3 to 5 days until you're on 0.5mg morning and night then nothing.

Clonidine 0.1mg
Pregabalin 150mg / Gabapentin 300mg
Diazepam 2mg or 5mg in morning and before bed

Methadone 10-20mg with gradually reducing every 3 days of so

Where I live, I can maybe get Suboxone but not methadone, and more than likely (because I have experienced this) I will get pressured to detox in a facility, doctors in my part of Canada reacted to the opioid epidemic by seriously restricting access to opioids, I've literally never got opioids from a hospital even for injuries, they have even given my friend heavily tranquilizing antipsychotics when she was in the ER for a gastrointestinal emergency. It's almost out of the question to ask a doc for opioids especially with the promotion of rapid detox therapy in my area.
Anyways, I bought 5 more 8mg Dilaudid, and I'm resisting the urge to buy heroin off the streets, but it's easy to talk myself out of when I'm so god damn broke.
 
I'm in Ontario Canada.....I have zero issues what so ever

Have your family doctor refer you to CPM Centre's for Pain Management (if this applies) as oral Metadol 2/5/10/25mg scored Methadone tablets are frequently prescribed for chronic pain/opioid rotation/analgesic therapy

You can tell your doctor or whom ever Methadone has a lower abuse potential and is a long acting analgesic, and you requested a very low dose (Metadol 5mg tablets) X 2 daily with weekly reductions until safety & successfully weaned off opioid analgesic medications as is your goal.

You can bring in a Dilaudid 8mg tablet and give them it showing you're serious about safely getting off all opioid narcotics but request a safe low therapeutic dose of a long acting Metadol 5mg tablets to properly wean off, as you work and need to function throughout the work week so this doesn't interfere with your career/employment

There has to be something in your area who will help you. If your doc isn't comfortable they can refer you to a specialist or a physician experienced in prescribing low dose Methadone to safety wean an Opioid tolerant patient off their meds.

Call around... can't be that difficult .Goodluck

Oh, and those oral Dilaudid 8mg tablets....get an oral syringe from Shoppers or pharmacy and rectal admin it for 60-70% bioavailability (v.s. 30% oral wasting it)

Pulverize tablet into fine powder, dissolve slightly warm water, draw up in 1ml oral syringe 0.5ml clean warm water......lay on side of bed and insert 3/4 length of pinky finger, hand cream or whatever on oral syringe, and push fluid in....lay there for several min with syringe still in....you'll feel the warm feeling of Hydromorphone onset.....remove oral syringe and place tissue there, pants up and relax & enjoy
