It sucked worse than I thought it would, I ended up in the psych ward and everything, but I'm finally clean from opiates. All I've been doing is nicotine and coffee. I almost relapse yesterday, but thankfully my friends were there to hang out instead of me going to cop. Just wanted to let you guys know, it is possible to do. I was snorting a gram a day, granted it was pretty crappy, but it was still strong enough that stopping it sent me off the deep end. Good luck to anyone trying to get clean.

Well done, my friend. Now stay strong, but for those moments when you're not strong, make sure you keep some good friends like the ones who kept you from going to cop.

This is great news to hear. I am about to jump off also. I do anywhere from 2-15 dirty 30's a day. Doing 15 is a rarity and only when I am super depressed and fighting with boyfriend. I have Gabapentin and Clonidine and that is it. I just cannot afford it anymore. I can't afford it when I have money. Money that could be used in a million better ways. I'm wanting to know how long your detox lasted? The worst of it? I know it's not going to be a cake walk. I quit iv heroin years ago only to pick up this bullshit. What did the psych ward offer you? I am so glad you posted this because I needed to see it and read it. Best of luck and smart choices to you!!

Cold turkey fent withdrawal is hell. I mean benzo withdrawal is bad - but in a different way. Its bad in the sense that it never ends. Cold turkey fent is so unbearable I asked my friend to hit me in the head with a hammer and I was serious. I wasn't trying to kill myself, was just hoping it would knock me out. Glad she didn't though.
Anyway, the good part about it is (assuming you were actually doing fent) is that its relatively short. As for all that new stuff like xylazine, I'm not familiar with what withdrawal is like with that and how long it lasts.
Congrats!

Good luck I struggled quitting kratom cold turkey alone. If you can manage the week of hell it's smooth sailing from there

Benzo withdrawal was way worse for me imo but I never took strong opioids. I was heavily suicidal and thought I was going crazy for months. I had to stop cus my doctor left town and my new one suddenly decided I can't be on clonazepam anymore (I was on it for 4 years). Absolute sadist and I never went back. He knew what he was doing to me

Thats damn near murder. I can't believe they can get away with that. Actually if you are in the US its like its flipped. You're more likely to get in trouble for trying to save somebody's life than have them die, where dependence inducing drugs are involved. Also.... you know you can buy benzos online, right?

Hah that sounds like a good way to get withdrawals again. I miss them bad but I wouldn't go back, being numb all the time sucks the sensation out of life. Also never know what they put in those pills nowadays..

Sorry didn't mean to imply to start them again if you are clean. I just mean if you find yourself in a bad situation again where you might run out and its to the point of being life threatening.... there's always that option.

All good but it probably would turn out bad for me lol. I'd just start abusing them again. Sometimes life needs to force your hand
