Opiate and opioid withdrawal: Coping strategies and medication

No not at alll! :D I'm just saying that if you wanted to record your daily progress then Bluelight provides a blog feature, which is probably more organised than just making posts in threads on the forum. But do as thou wilt <3

It would be less visible, and that's a downside, but you could link us to about updates here.

Just an option, IMO an interesting one, I would read your blog.
 
My student loan just went in, a day early!
I seriously don't think I've ever been more ecstatic, WDing no longer!!!

That sounds really sad, now that I read it back.
Fuck it, that's my life.

I think I'm beginning to feel "normal" again, 6 days after finally running out following a binge that lasted right through Christmas and New Year. It actually coincided with a real cold (coughing up greenies and everything). Saw that off with a decent Vindaloo .....

Hi Julie,
I swear everytime I've detoxed I've gotten a cold too. And not a sniffle the whole 13 yrs on methadone...go figure!
Hope your feeling better.
 
@mdb

Thanks for the compliment on the will power. Unfortunately its the first time I've set my mind to really regulating my drug use in the last 2/3 years, however, I did manage to maintain that sort of pattern for long stretches in the two years before that. I would think you could do it too, its more a question of self belief - ie. because I've done it in the past I know its possible. Right now my finances are so bad that I literally have a choice of crashing through my drugs at regular speed before hitting the wall myself, or I can do this method. I'm also thinking about my job where I work weds to friday. I cannot go anywhere near that place when I'm stone cold sober, let alone withdrawing. I just wish I had managed to reign things in better leading up to last summer. Its all good though, live and occasionally learn I guess.

Nah that's not sad. My friends n I used to be excited when our student loans came through. Same I can't get a loan for my masters it's crucifying me financially. I'm just glad I can do it over six years n have deferred my modules (apart from my current one ) to next year......

who'd want to read my blog, is that a subtle way of saying im posting too many long winded posts in threads like this ?

People are asking me how im doing, im responding, Im not just going on and on about it unsolicited.

I think he was mentioning the blog idea to someone else n it's fine none of us have a problem with your posts lol so post away. Anyways how are you doing today? Hows things in terms of withdrawals?

Thinking of you (please don't get freaked by that lmao. I told someone on Blightlight I was worried about him n tried to give some support n got a right lecture on how I hardly knew him, how I shouldn't care too much for people on Bluelight n should put myself first oppse soweey haha ). Evey :)
 
actually amazingly unbeleievably incredibly well. I feel about 90 - 95 % % of my average fitness, and health, and i have plenty of energy. My fitness allways increases in the warmer months as i get out much more for bike rides and hikes and stuff. The minor body buzz thing has gone. Im still gonna be cautious and look after myselkf in terms of concentrating on eating properly ans as well as possible for a few more weeks at least, i dunno if this thing might have a final sting in the tail for me yet. I get the feeling it would be tempting fate, to say yeah, ive done it, peace of piss, only for something nasty to kick in afterwards, so im being cautioutiously optimistic, I certainly wasnt expecting it to be this easy.

If and when im about a month in the clear I'll write a summary of why i think its working this time and failed last time, it might be of benefit to others. I think ive speard the message over several posts, if i can get it all in one nutshell that'll be more helpfull.
 
thb mate i dunno if its over or if its even started yet, bupe gas such a fuckin long half life, i stopped on Friday i think, so there may still be some in my body keeping me afloat. I think the next week will be telling. Im certainly much fitter and stronger this time. That helps so much, i was just run down befoire even starting the quit attempt last time, stood no chance really.
 
Yeah do a taper with bupe properly and it ain't too bad.

Hope you give yourself plenty of time before you do WD for etiz. Do sloe reduction again.
 
Taper is definitely easier and better. I have done the whole cold turkey think but most recent time coming off gear I did a taper it was a very fast and aggressive one, but a taper all the same time.
 
3 year habit is proper n the H was shite ninmost circles at that time so u really did a proper nasty rattle

but was there any time when u were really craving n couldnt get a opiate 2 sort you ? Thats the dif, beteen a H rattle n a cheaper 1

The stuff was coming back under 3% in2010. Still 10 a bag :|
 
i found it all very hard in 2013, i was just reducing all the time down from 8mg to 0.2 without much of a rest. I was probably run down and weakened by the end. I think getting back on a low dose to recharge my batteries and taking my time over the last few steps has helped massively. Also giving up smoking ecigs has helped massively, it means my appetite has returned and im interested in food again for 1 thing, rather than hunger just being something inconvenient that stopped me smoking, also meant i could sleep easier and was physically fitter.

Getting the 0.2 pills helped massively also, as did tapering right down to 0.1. It would have been far tougher jumping at 0.5 which is what id have to have done if i only had the 2mg pills and you couldnt cut them down accuratley below quartering of a pill.

The hard bits were getting from 2mg to 0.2. The rest has been easy, so far. Like i say i think there might be a final 'sting in the tale'.
 
If you're watching out for the sting you're more likely to notice a mild sting that might otherwise pass without troubling you. That's my theory. On the other hand if you're not aware of the possibility of the sting coming, then you might not recognise it for the temporary inconvenience it really is. That's my other theory!
 
yeah, i suspect you are right, as allways :D

tbh i cant believe its been so easy this time compared to how difficult i found it last time. Now, what to do about that Kratom. :sus: I want to atleast try it in a couple of months, even if its just once, and then flush or sell the rest seeing as its not illegal.
 
I hedged my bets, that's why I'm right!

Jesus no I'm not always right, MDB. I'm always very careful to make sure I'm sometimes wrong.
