Never been through any serious physical opiate withdrawal myself but I was taken of a mild opiate abruptly after being on it 5-6 times a day over a year for pain and my doctor just stopped it cold turkey for no reason whatsoever I was taking it exactly as prescribed and still needed it (don't even remember what it was now), I felt like I got hit by a bus and felt like I wanted to just die (not suicidal) for the next 10 days it was like the flue times 15. If a dependence to something that mild taken as prescribed was that awful I honestly don't want to know what a true opiate addiction is like. I have however gotten psychologically addicted to opiates before (even just one time with IV Demerol got me obsessed with it for weeks) i stayed up all night multiple nights just thinking about it and trying to think of ways to get it and not just with it with morphine, fentanyl and Oxy too even though I haven't had em in a long time I still catch myself plotting on ways to get em sometimes, when I get down on life I even sometimes fantasize about just giving up on life and starting H the cravings are relentless at times but I alw manage to keep myself from giving in. I'd get so depressed sometimes when I couldn get em I couldn't even eat, opiates are my favorite type of drug by far and also my weakness so I have to be extremely cautious when I use em, only use certain ones I don't get obsessed with and set strict limits on how often I can have them and avoid heroin like the plauge because I know if I even tried it once I'd have no hope of quitting. Sorry I got off track I was trying to be supportive and just trying to let you know even though I've never been seriously addicted to opiates I sorta understand how painful of an experience it'll be, I've heard weed really helps with some people's cravings and kratom helps a lot and is way easier to get off of good luck.
