Do you think smoking some would help some of the WD's?

Doc cut me cold turkey from OC's after taking 60mg a day. Lots of shivering and can't sleep.

Will some bud help me out or make it worse? I'm almost afraid to try... Feeling worse at this point might push me over...
 
i always smoke weed, more so in WD.....

it helps alots, dont get me wrong

but its not a cure
 
Much love. Gonna go light up the hash I had made the other day.

I knew in the back of my head I was saving it for a rainy day :)
 
It most likely will help.
For someone like me it heps but at the sametime weed makes me anxious and twitchy often if I don't smoke it while on sub or someother downer so yea.
Helps my WD's but increases the anxiety output of the Wd's at the sametime.

As skagkush said,not a cure.
 
for me it can go both ways.
I can get very emotional awter some weed, but i actually have never kicked opiates without them.
Last time i WD, i ate some sleeping pills,an odd combo and smoked some weed.
MAN, i was tripping my head of.
Still serious rls so i went for walks in the middle of the night, and couldn't freakin recognize my own neighbourhood.

First time i went into rehab, i would detox for 3 weeks.
I fiigured it'd be no fun, after misusing and IVing Herion for 10 years, so i hid a stash of exellent hashish inside some musiccassettes.
Good old days
They passed the security, and the first night i freaked so bad, that i thought, f8ckthis, i'm having a joint,they're gonna kick me out of here and i'll be dopefree.
Or well,actually right the opposite, but....outside and on a roll.
I sat in the coffeeroom that night and rolled me a big splif, filled with the finest Hash i ever found until then.
Seeing weed is legalized in my country, that says a lot.8o
I smoked until the room was blue with the smell of hashish, up until the hallways.
BUT NOONE came to kick me out.NOONE checked at night.
I rolled another one and got so stoned , it became a very memorable moment, hellish,still...i got through allthough i became ar less carefull in my use of hashish, no one noticed.Very strange rehab centre, i can tell you.

Just remember that weed can slow down time or speed it up in a strange way.
ihope you get the results you hope for,i'm in wd now,and the joints kindaput my mind on other things.
 
It's nice to smoke just because you're getting high on something other than your DoC..
But I find it makes my RLS a shit ton worse and the anxiety.. oh the anxiety.
 
weed always helped me tremendously through opiate withdrawals, occasionally it would even allow me sleep for a little. It also seemed to help with the crawling skin feeling, just cause it would numb me a little.

I get really really bad anxiety if I smoke ALOT of it, but really all I need is a lung hoot or two and im good.
 
Makes it worse in my experience, but weed tends to be on the anxiogenic side for me anyway. it's funny how for some weed can decrease anxiety markedly and for some it can increase it.

yeah increase it by A L O T for me anyways. It's really kind of hit and miss with me to be honest. But when im withdrawling, smoking some weed kind of tricks your mind because at least your getting high on something, I dunno works for me.

this is an under rated post......what rehab and what country are from. it helps me but is by no mean a cure. I'd rather have a bunch of ommodium than herb going through wd's.
 
It helps alot but it depends on the person. As some people said it would freak them out. For me it kills the pain and relaxes me, you can easily stay comfortable, smoking weed eating benzo's and immodium for 3 days=cure.

The strain is rather important. I've found that a sativa/indica mix helps me the most.
 
^strain is important and I agree that its best in combo with loperamide and benzos.

Indicas are very useful during w/d while headier/more anxiogenic sativas I certainly avoid.
 
Weed helped me cold turkey dope incredibly well. I was on a 3 month binge using at least a bun a day and I finally decided to quit after I got arrested with a couple bags on me (I managed to get the charges dismissed =D) and knew that I was at the point where I had to decide whether I was going to completely destroy my future or fix my addiction. The first night with full blown WD was absolute torture, I would never wish it on my worst enemy, sweating my balls off while shivering, unable to stay asleep longer than an hour or two. It was at this point I went out and bought a quarter of the dankest indica I could find and spent the next week stoned out of my mind which helped kill the nausea, actually let me eat, knocked me out and kept me asleep the whole night, and also helped with the aches and pains.

I notice that a lot of other users here mention that for some it gives them anxiety and for others it kills anxiety and the reason for this is the strain. Sativas give you a very powerful head high and this is what makes me people start to overthink things and get anxious, the anti-anxiety effects come from being stoned not high, they are two different kinds of fucked up you can get from weed.

"Oh the anxiety" is exactly right. It's precisely why I don't smoke weed anymore--it makes me so god damn paranoid as it is, and when I took a bong hit while in WD a couple years ago, it was enough to make me question my sanity. The anxiety and racing thoughts were just too much to handle, also my heart was just hammering away at a crazy pace. I went to the ER because I couldn't handle it...I told them I was having a panic attack (well, which I was, so I didn't lie, I just neglected to tell them that I was a junkie on the kick and I had smoked some pot). They gave me 2 mg Ativan (oral) and put me on a diazepam infusion for three hours...and it STILL didn't completely help.
Bottom line is, if you're the type of person who experiences paranoia, anxiety or dysphoria from smoking marijuana, AVOID it while WDing at all costs, or you may be sorry. But if it helps, toke away.
 
I agree people who really love their weed would be somewhat comforted by just having weed at hand.. And would just take the added anxiety because just being stoned even if the rsl and anxiety is worse, is better than just kicking with nothing.

For a non smoker or someone who dosn't smoke much, it will only make it much worse.

You want something like valium, clonidine, lope(otc opioid that dosn't cross blood brain barrier but binds to receptors in your gut relieving ALOT of the GI bullshit, search it).
 
i agree with cane....

indica is very important when in WD

sativa would be a no no, although if you dont have anxiety, sativa can still be great for nausea....
