Opiate withdrawal question

[LiF3L3SS]

Hey guys I'm new and I am on 2nd day of opiate withdraw time to quit. I basically am wondering 2 things. How bad my withdraw is going to b and affect of using xanax to help sleep.

I started about 3 months ago taking opiates half a day of 30 mg perk. I'm up to 2 sometimes 3 a day but am able to skip a day or 2 days heere and there. I have decided to quit and xxanax helps me sleep but I'm not a xanax user it just easies me at bed time. I've heard about 5 days for the physical withdraw and want to make sure I can do it in my home and I can still jus take xanax for next 3 to 5 nights.

Any help is greatly appreciated and thanks again guys

Hi there,
I am sure you can find lots of advice as I have, by looking through old posts on opiate withdrawals, there are lots of people on this site with a great deal of experience and willing to share advice and offer support.
I am quitting opiates too, and it is a struggle, but it seems that you are doing really well if you have done 2 days, it shouldnt get much worse and ease up soon. Generally it seems that the less other drugs you can take the quicker your body will recover. However lack of sleep is a bitch, and if you feel it is endangering your ability to quit, that you might relapse, then I would say taking xanax is a preferable option.
As you dont use xanax, be sensible about dose, take a little, wait a few hours and take more if needed. I often put my sleep meds in another room so I have to get out of bed and go get them, that way I know that I really need them. Do not drink alcohol with them it is dangerous. Bear in mind xanax is addictive, and you dont want to swap one problem for another.
Going through withdrawals without using other drugs may help to put you off becoming addicted again. And as many will tell you, its the staying stopped that is the hard bit, if you can plan a little relapse prevention stratagies.
You dont give much about your situation, so I hope this is helpful,
All the best to you.
