Hi fellas, I have been using the 50mcg Duragesic patches for 5 days and am on my last one. I was wondering what kind of withdrawals to expect after using these for only 5 days. Thanks. By the way, these things kick ass for pain. I will get more in two weeks.

if its a legit drug use ask your doctor for some clonidine. It'll help massively with the
opiate induced sickness which are basically pro-inflammatory agents that are produced by the opiated activated TLR system.
You can try the following if you don't have any other choices
short term
- regular baths and showers. I find showers are extremely good. I sit down and just meditate. I can easily sit in there for an hour. It'll help calm you down and maybe put you in a mood to sleep. Make sure you have all clothes setup. baths are also really good. Hot bath and some cannabis apparently helps though if you're a bit prone to the bad thoughts I would say away from cannabis.
- green apples and good quality multi-vitamins. Fresh juiced apple/orange
- stay busy. Sitting around doing nothing is the worst thing you can do. Clean the house etc.
- panadol and nurofen at the sametime. Extremely good at helping with the aches and pains
- imodium is a opiate but it doesn't cross the blood brain barrier. It however binds to the opiates that are in body, namely your stomach (hence why it gives you constipation). This will help
immensely.
Long term
- think about getting on a suboxone/subutex program if you're planning to use opiates on a long term basis or find that you have difficulty controlling yourself.
