Hello,
I apologize, I am new and am not sure where to put this thread. So I put it under "homeless" for now, I know a mod will move it. I will be talking about WD, health issues, an abusive marriage most likely, chronic pain, and am very interested in talking about supplements/nutrition to treat all of those things mentioned as well (if only good nutrition was enough for the bad marriage lol, but everything else, anyway...).
I will be withdrawing from H starting tomorrow, and am terrified of the PAIN returning, of my already naturally high anxiety, and of just getting through it. The pain, sleeplessness, and bad anxiety are my biggest fears, and obstacles. Stomach distress for me is usually down south hence the Lope lol. Luckily nausea does not seem to be much of an issue for me in WD, though sometimes I will get into a coughing fit that begins to gag me, to where I retch.
Short version: many chronic health issues that cause screaming pain. I will get into more details later, such as how much H I was using (edit: well, I guess I should say it now, right? Snorting ECP, up to 1/2 gram a day, did a bit of a taper down recently), more details about my health issues, research about auto-immune issues that interests me (as I would like to solve this riddle, not merely manage it....this is my goal, but really, just managing it successfully to have a somewhat active and normal life would be great), how my abusive marriage affects all of this (husband is an alcoholic, also a violent and abusive person), and etc etc.
For the moment however, today will likely be the last day that I will be able to leave the house and get anything else I will need. I don't have a TON of money, but I could grab a few more things.
Withdrawal is HELL for anyone. I do think that having bizarre health issues of an auto-immune nature, and terrible pain that limits my ability to do things physically, make it FAR worse to go through. My body has a hard time handling that much stress, the severe pain kicks in WAY before withdrawal starts, and my natural disposition is fairly anxious. So, withdrawal is an extra painful nightmare that I am very terrified of making it through. I really, really need support and encouragement. Thank you ahead of time.
I am looking for some suggestions on what else to go grab while I can.
No good head shops around here, and kratom won't arrive in mail in time, though I would like to try that for managing pain in the future.
So, for now, here is what I have:
Phenibut (this mainly seems to make me massively tired, especially the day after a decent dose of 1+grams. It does seem to help anxiety slightly. Hoping this will allow me some sleep....I would love to take as much of a sleep time machine into the future of no more wd as I can lol)
Potassium Gluconate, 550mg
Loperamide, about 60 count
Ibuprofen
Benadryl tablets
about 9 5-HTP caps left @ 200mg/capsule
throat spray (sometimes I gag and get badly scratchy throat during wd, I guess from snorting)
Valerian root
Milk Thistle
Weed
Antacid tablets ( I have a lot of stomach issues)
B-complex
D3
Vit E
Magnesium (though in oxide form; cannot seem to find other forms)
Any suggestions while I can still manage to go out? Tried so hard to find some benzos, but to no avail But, I have the Phenibut like I said.
My period is due as well so this timing is bad, as that typically causes me a lot of pain.
So, any suggestions that won't break the bank that I can get at a drug or grocery store are appreciated!
I will be using this thread to talk during my WD. I am going to need support to make it through the pain...I hope that's OK. I will get into my health issues more later. I have, short version, fibromyalgia, arthritis, and a TERRIBLE, PAINFUL AS HELL lower back...man. Crippling pain at times. Deep genetic disposition to crumbling spine, in short - my family's spines rot and cripple them at relatively young ages, this is the road I am headed down, sadly. Auto-immune issues, stomach problems (ulcer symptoms, IBS symptoms, etc), severe muscle spasms/cramps/twitches.
Thank you for reading and listening. Looking forward to hearing any suggestions. I will update this thread as I progress through the dreaded WD's.
Hope you are all well
Peace.
