Yesterday I ran out of my prescription of Oxycodone. I've been taking 30-50mg every day for about 4 months now, so I was expecting some gnarly withdrawals. Since I knew I would be running out early, I bought a 5lb bag of unwashed poppy seeds, and I made tea last night.
I think it's working, because I haven't had the horrible feelings of withdrawals. But it's hard to tell, because I haven't felt "high" either. However, I've been in a remarkably good mood for someone who's getting off her favorite drug of choice. I've been sipping on my tea all day, taking it slow to make sure I don't overdose.
The problem I'm having with PST is I have NO IDEA how much I'm taking. All the recipes I've found tell you how much to use in grams, but I don't have a scale or anything. I've just been measuring it out with a cup. And although I haven't been feeling high in the sense I'm used to, I'm definitely feeling good, which means there is definitely a chance of addiction. I started out drinking PST in hopes it would help me cut back on my opioid use, but is there a chance that I'm actually ingesting more opioids than I would with Oxycodone?
I guess my question is, what are the guidelines for safe PST use to get off of Oxycodone comfortably? I want to cut back my use, not start a whole new addiction.
