Hi all. I am currently on a 2-3week long fentanyl habit - I smoke between one to two 100mcg stickers every day-and-a-half/two days, and this frequency has slowly been building up to daily.
I am interested in stopping, but am afraid if I go cold turkey I will relapse. Also, I study and have a job and am afraid the sight of me shivering, my stomach cramping and legs shaking uncontrollably and me running to the toilet every 30minutes will get me fired and make me a social pariah.
I am desperate to kick this habit, it is seriously affecting all aspects of my life negatively.
The patches are insanely expensive for me and I cannot afford them anymore. Therefore, tapering off with them is not an option.
The only other opiate I have access to is heroin. I wanted to ask - when should I start using H to taper (withdrawal symptons kick in for me ~24-30hours after last fentanyl usage) ?
How much should I use (I know this is subjective, so i'm really asking - how can I gauge how much is right for me - I'm obviously only interested in reducing withdrawal symptons, not getting high!!!)? At what frequency and for how long?
If relevant, my only method of administration for H is snorting.
I realize tapering won't completely remove the withdrawal symptons, and yet I'd like to make it the least unpleasant possible.
I apologize for the long post and would very much appreciate any advice you guys might have. Thanks!
