I posted this in the Opioids section and somebody recommended me to come here so I will copy and paste what I wrote there. Any help would be very very very very very very much appreciated.


1st Post

I've been doing blues for about 2 years and its starting to mess up my life. I've started off taking around 60mg a week and moved up to 30mg a day. I decided to quit a few days ago and what would be the best method to quit cold turkey. I've been getting really angry with everybody around me. I've decided to take xanax every time these rages come up. I'm not sure if this is the right way to do it.

2nd Post with a quote from somebody with advice.

Thanks for all the replies guys.

Hey Cracked Out, have you looked into Gabapentin/Pregabalin? They work wonder for opiate withdrawl. In my opinion way better than benzos with a lower addiction potential (but none the less). I suggest only to take benzos for the acute phase which should be over soon.
But the PAWS (post acute withdrawl syndrome) can be a real bitch too. For this Gabapentin and Lyrica help tremendously and are pretty easily prescribed.

I wish you the best with your progress :)

Hello, I tried doing some google research on Gabapentin and Pregablain. I seem to be getting silly google answers. For instance Gabapentin says its for seizures(epilepsy) and some type of leg syndrome. As for Pregabalin it seems to be another pain killer. Also which would you recommend for me? And could you explain PAWS? I know its been 5 days and I've been going crazy and a crazier. I feel as if I need something going up my nose. Which is why I took the xany.
My friend also recommended me something called suboxins(I'm not sure how to spell it). I also got another recommendation to go talk with a doctor and explain my situation and they would prescribe me something. I just want to stay as far away from blues as possible and I don't wont anything similar to it. And would anybody tell me how long I would have to go through all of this before I completely stop thinking of blues? Also if its something I can snort I think it many help because I'm so used to snorting things it some kid of habit now. Thanks in advance.
 
The majority of your addiction lies in the opiot receptors and dopamine pathway.. benzos or zannax effects neither one, withdraws off opiots will cause GABA (the chemical benzos affect so they may help a little) Clonidine should do wonders through the acute withdraw..

30mg a day is a pretty small dose.. NOT that you want to go higher.. i came off 260mgpd roxy in aug, among other things.. if you want to prolonge but lessen the detox taper.. but in my opinion you will just make it longer.. check out clonodine and just go for it.. half life of oxy is at the most 5 hours.. so

30-15 mg 5h
15-7.5 mg 10h
7.5 aprox 4 15h
4-2 20h
2-1 25h
1-.5 30h
.5-.25 35h
+10h

+3.5 days

= 5.5 days after last dose and you will not start to withdraw for quite a few hours or day in in.. look up clonidine and make your decision.. otherwise a couple of dayand your in the clear it just gets much worse.. you have this, good luck!! (really wont be that bad, but will suck a little.)


you have this..;)
