HELPTHEDOPESICK

[PharmAnimal2]

this post is for all of you that truly know the meaning of being dopesick. i made the horrible mistake of trying one of the forbidden drugs, one that 'I WOULD NEVER TOUCH THAT' .. yeah well you guys know how it goes. my question is, what do you do when there is NOTHING in site? how do you pass the time, or sleep at nite? i know some of the cures, like lortabs, ect.. but what do you do when absoultely nothing is available to you? just looking for something to make the sick times a little bit easier. thanks

Narcotic Withdrawl - a junkie's survival guide

 

[Ketamike]

Extreme emotions help pass time. When I was going through withdrawal I'd switch between watching Montel Williams and crying like a little bitch and listening to Eminem and screaming lines like "Man I'm this close to going toe to toe with this whore." IT WORKS!!!
Take Benedryl during the day, not tripping doses, but it'll sedate you a little. Chug some DXM syrup or fuck it, go with Coriciden HBP (DXM and an anti-histimine).
Watch Porno, beat off, stay hydrated, turn the heat on high (withdrawing during the fall or winter is horrid), and sweat yourself clean.
Remember... the worst is over in 3 or 4 days. Good luck with the mental aspect. I don't think we'll ever see a FAQ covering that.

Try to be absolutely still, if you can, and realise that loperamid (Imodium) actually works. You can get it anywhere since no prescription is needed. No you won't get high or feel good, but A LITTLE BETTER....You have to take at least 15 mg a day though.

In that case I sit in a Lotus style position with my back perfectly arched, close my eyes and focus on my breathing through the nose while trying to center my thoughts into a solitary point.

If youve having trouble staying away from any bad habit try www.rationalrecovery.com . This is the only way to deal with the mental side of addiction. However if your wondering how to make it easier, there's very little that does except time itself. Distraction helps tho, tv, videos, computers games, books. Escapism stuff, it helps.
PS this is not a plug, i have been though addiction recovery and this was _the shit_. Some vitamins, relaxing herbs, baths, soothing music etc should help the physical side. See you doctor if the physical sides too much for you to bear.
Ohh, and dont go to AA. There a cult-like group that prey on your insecurities. And there success rate is way low.

Suggestion blah? Read what I said, it was a "blind-studie". Anyway many of us have noticed improvements with Immodium, so I am not alone. I didn't believe in it myself until I tried.

the one thing you need to do is not allow yourself to get in that situation. always have dope lol. no matter what. being dope sick is the worst thing ever, while being on dope is the best thing ever. there truly is nothing to cure dopesickness but time. some other drugs help but everyone truly knows the one cure for being dope sick is dope. later

^^^I'm sure that helped him a lot. He/she is trying to quit, meaning he/she doesn't want to do dope anymore. And talking about how great dope is is not something you want to say to someone who is dope sick. It takes a TON of courage to get off dope--try to be respectful!

The question was "what do you do when there is NOTHING in site". I don't think he meant that he had access to benzos etc.

If you talk to your doctor about your plans (i.e withdrawl @ home, using medications) he/she just might be the type that will be more than helpful in helping you out.
There are plently of doctors out there that know without the help of benzos their patient is more likely to get back on heroin, and are willing to help you out. It's not that hard to convince some doc's to write prescriptions. If your own doctor wont do it, try someone else. Because benzos are truely a lifesaver when it comes to dopesickness.
If you don't feel comfortable doing this (or are too sick to even get out of bed) I would suggest getting on the phone and talking to friends. I'm sure you have some friends that are really proud of you for going through with this and actually quitting-talking to them might distract you a little bit and give you more motivation to keep going. Watch movies, read books, spend hours in the bathroom...

 

[kristofire]

as said. get some benzos. they are much easier to kick then heroin or oxy's. you should be about done with it by now? whats your staus? give us an update. good luck. it sucks. its hell!

Hey everyone, thanks for all of your help/ suggestions. Things are going very shitty, as expected.. i am passing time watching tv, movies, and have many warm blankets around because i am constantly frezzing. this is the absolute hardest thing i have ever been through in my life. no physical pain can realte to it at all. maybe it is sick, but i would rather have broken my arm or leg than endure the hell i am going thru. the beggining of the 3rd day i gave in and had to eat some pain pills. i have never felt so euphoric(sp.) but after that the sickness just started all over again at day one when those wore off. i am thinking about going to the doctor or to a methadone clinic, im not sure what to do. but thanks for all your suggestions, many of the mentioned i was already practicing.. wish me luck oh, and
p.s. i am female

How did this thread (which last has a post of October 17) be at the top of this forum? That's very weird, the only thing I can think of is perhaps someone posted something inappropriate and a mod just deleted his/her post and thus the topic stays up here?
Everyone's probably gonna be like what the fuck are you talking about, it says December 9 on your post, you brought it up here! But believe me, it was at the top of this page saying October 17, even in the forum that's the date that it shows, while the surrounding ones are all December 9! Isn't that fucked up?
(man i bet someone is gonna reply with, so i bet Thurgood was on ____ when he worte that, what does everyone else think? Cuz my friends always say shit like that after i leave messages on their AIM and shit, haha).

dont go to the methadone clinic. ride it out bro. i wish i would have. im kicking myself in the ass everyday i drive an hour to that fucking place. good luck.

 

[Love In Vein]

Occassionally threads that are weeks and months old show up instead of the new ones. At least on my computer.
That's probably what happened, Thur.

 

[PapaverPrisoner]

You are so right Thurgood. I had - as always - several windows opened. I tried to post in a thread, discovered that Ì actually by mistake answered in an old thread that I just had been looking at, didn't discover the little box with which one delete the whole message, erased the stuff instead, and left out a dot.
So the message consisted of a dot, a somewhat meagre excuse for reopening an old thread like that. When Ì discovered the delete box, I had the impertinence to delete my stunning dot-post. Therebye creating a new mystery with the dates. I had hoped that noone should be enough clever to discover my devious machinations...
