ok so i'm new here and on a mobil phone so jump my ass to hard if I fuck up typing...ok so I've be doing opiates/oids for a year and a half everyday now. been doing some shady junkie shit and it's just gone too far. little bit about my habit. take about 80 mgs a day hydracodone. but I take regular trips to new orleans for heroin. when I get the heroin I go kinda wild and do about a half gram a day. my fiancee has the exact same tolerance with me and we half everything. so she takes 80mgs likewise heroin and all. I have access to fent patches and oxy ir and with apap from time to time but mainly hydracodone. I go over 80mgs and under but 80 about average. anyway I just need to get off and i'm just wondering what you guys think is the best way to do it like what kind of tapers/mantinece/ect just any way to stop wds that you guys think match my habit best. oh I don't iv or cwe the hydro and I take the 8 tens all at once. I don't really get high it just stops the wds. it takes about 130 mg hydro to get off and then it's still not half as good as smack. anyway i'm not a ccp patient purely a recroational user,well I guess not recreation if you doNT enjoy it. sept the heroin. I enjoy that...anyway please help becaulse I have to travel for an auditon June 18 and won't have any way of getting opis there cuz i'm scared of cramming smack inside my self on a plane as it would be harder to cram 6 days worth of pain pills at the amount id have to have . I don't really want to give up getting high I just want to stop using everyday and doing sketchy junkie shit.
 
I know you really don't want to stop using, but you will need to slow it down a bit. Taking all those hydros is very harmful to your liver with the acetaminophen content. You should learn how to do a cold water extraction. You could try to taper down but you need time and discipline for that. The best thing to do is see a doctor to get on a replacement program. You're already spending lots of money on dope and pills. It would be to your benefit to get on suboxone so you won't be sick especially since you have to travel in a couple weeks.
 
i'm waiting on a call from the sub clinic. all are full except one and im afraid it's not going to call in time for my audition. my friend who gets sun b is in jail aswell. and i'm worried that I will lose some of the hydro if I cwe it. yeah it is alot of money.. that's why i'm doing shady shit to pay for it. idk man I just dunno what to do quick. i'm really upset that the best feeling In the world has so many drawbacks.

There's quite a few threads about doing the cwe. I'm too sleepy to look it up right now. Another thing you can do is check into methadone clinics. Mostly their only stipulation is that you be in withdrawal. So you can tell them you are withdrawing from H when you get there. They will explain the rules. The couple in my area are self-pay each time you go. Definitely start calling them tomorrow to get started. One thing, you should edit your post to remove the price part, they don't allow for price discussion here. Wish you luck! :)
 
Well.....the big question is....how disciplined are you? My guess is...if ur like me...not very. Otherwise we wouldn't have ended up with habits....right? Anyway, if u feel u can taper, u can drop 10 or 15 MG's of hydro every couple days, then jump off. Like I said, this will only work if u have some decent willpower. As far as methadone goes, that's probably not the route u wanna go if u have to travel....from what I hear, u gotta go every day for your dose. Now, if u can get into a sub doctor...that would work better cuz u will get an actual legal prescription that u can take with ya when u travel. Another option is to just cold turkey NOW and get over the acute withdrawals before ur trip......but u will probably still be dealing with some PAWS by the time u gotta go. If it was me....I would go the sub route... even if I gotta go to a doc not in my area or something....from what I hear, they can usually get ya in pretty quick.

Either way man.....good luck....I feel ur pain....the lifestyle sucks after a while.
 
Taper with your DOC, or try a quick sub taper. I recently kicked a 2 year lowish dose oxy habit. I used a total of 4 mg of sub over the course of a week. 1-1-.5-.5-.5-.25-.25. It was pretty painless. I was doing 30-40mg of oxy a day, sometimes with hydromorphone thrown on top. My girl and I quit together as well. Try to grab just one or two subs and dose low. You can do it.
 
well...the sub clinic called this morning and now I have a script. but I have no insurance and it's crazy expensive..but alls well now...put me on 4 a day which 3 more than I need lol...
