Hello everyone. First time posting. I have been lurking this site for the last year and finally decided to sign up.
I have been hooked on opiates for 3 years now. Anything from hydro to oxycontin about 150 mg per day to stay away from withdrawal hell. I have stolen pills from my fiancée who has q broken back. She takes from her mom to replace what I have stolen. Her mom found out and now hates her for that. When pills run out I take it out on my family. I am tired of this life and on day 2 of detox. If i dont get clean i will lose my family. I don't ever find any success stories and the reason I am posting is that if anyone is going through the same struggle I am or just got thru this and how you did it would really help. I've never talked to anyone about this so I needs to get it off my chest. Thank u for any replies or support
 
Dude i was in the same situation as you...some of use have a really hard time quitting...have you thought about getting on suboxan or methadone??? I got on methadone and that shit has pretty much saved me from a downward spiral
 
I know it's not perfect but it beats stealing money from loved ones. And constantly trying to score. And blowing tons of money on drugs in my honest opinion
 
We don't have methadone clinics where I am at in North Platte Nebraska don't know if I can say that on this site but I live in a small town and everyone even doctors look down on you and just push you away here suboxone is too expensive. Lost my job on top of everything.the mental health here just push me away and gave me another day in a month for an evaluation. they won't do anything for you unless you tell them you're going to kill someone or yourself. I'm out of options and all alone the physical is no problem its the mental part that's destroying me
 
I just read some of your post and I feel the exact same way a shitty father a s***** boyfriend I feel helpless no job and it is destroying our lives. I don't know how I can do this to her or my kids she is my rock and by my side no matter what but I feel like this is the last chance I have to keep my family I just want to know if it gets better if life gets better will It ever stop
 
Yes it can and will get better. .you say its to expensive?? How are you paying for your habit now if you dont mind me asking...cuz i know its a lot cheeper then getting pills and it really will save your demise
 
Also how far away is the closest clinic to you?? I used to drive 2 hours to get to my clinic...thay had a program where if you live far away thay would put you on weeklys right away so you only have to go once a week and the state paid for it...that was win i lived in mpls minnesota...thay have the same program here in houston to...i would check all options before you give up..if you really love them you will find away my friend
 
Or start slowly tapering off your pills...the problem I found with this approach is you have to have a lot of people on your side to get through it. And when youve fucked your life up likea lot of us do. You don't have much support left. And it's really hard to do with all by yourself. That's why I want with the clinic
 
Lyrica helps more than anything else I've tried for withdrawal aside from dones and subs. If you can get your hands on some it's worth a try right??
 
Hey tray you must have insurance I lost mine when I lost my job you must have state pay with that or Medicaibecause doctors with suboxin around here or 150 dollars for the first visit and 1 month supply of sub is $250 just don't have the money till next thurs and the waiting lists are so long. and I have tried lyrica it doesn't really help me but make me really angry but gabapentin seems to help a little bitand I got some kratom I'm not sure if it helps or just prolongs the detox what do you guys think.

No i don't have insurance...the state pays for my methadone...all i had to do was go to the clinic and they pretty much did everything for me..
 
Also at the time i started i also lived 200 miles away from the nearest clinic..but thay set it up so i only had to go once a week..witch helped alot..thay really will work with you at alot of those places
 
Hey thank you trey. I will call the clinics in Kearney see if they can help. It must be common where your from causehere if you ask for help they push you away treat you like shit and don't bother to look the other way. it's really hard to explain my problems to total strangers but I'll give it a try it's worth anything at this point. so train you just called the clinic they set up the rides and gave you the dawn for free all free. And thank you Nnonovia
 
P.s I relapsed yesterday was on day four but fucked up I can't believe I did that i hate this Satan drug
 
Personally when i was addicted to Fentanyl i did about 10mg sublingual a day for a few months considering it comes in micrograms i'd say that's a pretty serious dependency. At some point i ran out and i couldn't get any more. I was bed-ridden for a week and a half while my body tried to regain homeostasis. Only thing i can advice you is to get benzos if you are able to as to relieve some of the symptoms(I didn't have any benzos, i detoxed cold-turkey save for some loperamide) try to drink and keep food down. I know it can be hard but you'll thank yourself later on. In any event, after two weeks the worst withdrawels were gone after which the PAWS set in which lasted another good week or two. But i am clean now, i take some Oxy recreationally now and then and make sure to not get enough to get addicted again.

How's that for a succes story.

Kratom. Use kratom.

Yes it will prolong the wds a bit, but with the added benefit of not really having much w/D's during that time. I credit it with getting me out of a nasty intranasal heroin and fentanyl habit.

Pm if you need to talk or want more info on kratom.
 
am on day 6 of oxy 90mg a day. The first three days were a complete hell on earth. I am still struggling. The worst part for me is the constant aches and pains especially in my legs. I am also beyond fatigued even though I have been sleeping by taking .75 Klonopin. I am small so this seems to do the trick. My limbs still feel so heavy and even though I am so thankful to be through the worst, I am having trouble not giving in on just a small dose to help subside these other symptoms. Does anyone know how much longer this will last? I have been eating frequently, lots of water, Gatorade and pedialyte. I am scared that I am going to give in and I don't want to after coming this far.

Not to push my opinion, but kratom worked wonders for me as far as the fatigue, and muscle aches pains, rls, etc. Its slightly stimulating and helps alot with being tired all the time from opiate withdrawals.

And personally, i'd give kratom a try before going to methadone or suboxone, i've tried both when trying to quit my habit, (herion/fentanyl intranasal mist) and they work no doubt. However, they can be much more addictive and harder to get off of than kratom, so go with the least risky/powerful withdrawal aid opioid first if you ask me.

But once again, my personal opinion/experience, no offense cap'n herion :)
