The EADD Poppy Pods & Seeds Thread v1 - Watch Out For the Mould!!!

I guess it depends on how you're defining severe repercussions, although I suppose that in absolute terms it would mean being so ill as to be unable to get out of bed, and also feeling severely depressed. And for this to last more than a few days.

If you're talking feeling moderately ill, moderately depressed, etc, and that only lasts a few days, then it seems it could be a price woth paying. You must think that it is.

I tend to get quite a lot of anxiety about opiate withdrawals, which is a good thing if it helps me to keep the brakes on any such habits, but not so good if things have gotten away from me somehow, and then I'm just building it up in my mind how terrible the w/ds are going to be, and so I can end up making more of a big deal out of things than is needed, which definitely does not help, and then when I finally manage to get off whatever it is, things have generally ended up being nowhere near as bad as I feared.

With the exception of tapering and quitting a heavy and fairly long benzo habit. That really was as nightmarish as everyone says it is.

Ok, so the answer to your question is 'Yes'.

I ran out just over a week ago, and today is the first day I've felt 'normal'. Although, the symptoms have been relatively mild, they were enough to remind me why i shouldnt fuck about with opiates...

A post of mine from 2019. I used codeine to taper off the pods after a couple of weeks daily use. It still hurt, but I could function.


Anxiety about opiate withdrawals is not a bad thing.
