Kicking an opiate habit... Hello!

[Kyle210]

Hello everyone,
I never thought this would happen, but it did. Around January, I started taking about 80mgs Norco a day. Then I got ahold of roxy's and oxy's and took anywhere from 20-200mg a day. I am out of my medicine so bought some kratom to take the edge off (don't know how much to take or how often.) I'm scared, and figured this would be a good place to go.
So my name is Kyle, and I am a graduate student at the University of Texas at San Antonio. I have 4 herniated disks causing pain from my mid-back to my lower right leg. I am prescribed oxy's, 120 10mg but have used them all and do not get a refill until the 6th. My vik dealer and I are no longer talking as one day I did something stupid. So I am scared beyond all get out.

Anyways, I hope to learn here and I hope to recover from opiates and not abuse them.

Best!

Just out of curiosity, what happened between you and your dealer?

Hello! I am new too and hoping to kick my tooting habit as well. I wish you the best in your journey and hope you get the support you need! It will be tough but we can do it, stay positive! There is always sun after rain.

Welcome to Bluelight ! !

A few times my dealer would have a not as strong batch and I almost told him off, but didn't cos I knew the next batch might be good… and usually was. Funny how that happens.
I'm off Heroin/oxy now for a couple days on a longer acting opiate (methadone - low low dose), hopefully not longer than a week tops, tapering down. It can be done, but not easy.
The basics, clonidine/lyrica/loperamide of course. I've had surgery multilevel discs in my neck… That's how it started for me.
