yea you can actually die from a xanax withdrawl
ive experienced tons of opie w/d and heroin gotta be worst
 
From what I understand it is benzo withdrawal by a long shot.

However, in my experience having never been dependent on benzos but having been dependent on Suboxone, heroin, oxycodone, and poppy pods, I would say that the poppies are the worst.

With heroin and oxy, I could always go out and do what I needed to do to get more opiates. With poppies, I was literally so sick when I ran out (my supplier gave me a moldy batch, and even in sickness I wasn't going to subject myself to that, with all of the horror stories I have heard) that I couldn't get myself out of the house without opiates, even for opiates. This was a mere six hours after I took 60 mg of oxycodone. Fortunately, a friend who was with me gave me another 60 mg of oxy and I was able to procure more opiates for a little bit, although soon after this I found myself on the Suboxone program because I couldn't come out to my dad about my dependence, nor could my family have afforded it if I did.

I should point out that I never even made tea. I would simply grind out the pods with a mortar and pestle and eat them raw, throughout the day. I found it much less unpleasant than the tea, and it got me much higher.
 
My kidneys failed during a heroin cold turkey withdrawal and if I wasn't taken to the hospital by my mother who is a nurse who noticed something...I would have been dead. It depends on how long the habit was and how much, what kind of H, did they have a prior painkiller history (since that destroys the liver) etc. It is ridiculous to say no one can die from a heroin withdrawal. You can die from anything.

That said, if you consider "the needle" a drug - most consider it an addiction. THAT is hard for me. I see any drug in front of me and I wanna inject it. But the worst drug withdrawal has been heroin due to the physical horror that happens and then the fact that you can't just sleep it away like meth...you are up knowing that the ONE THING that would stop this would be the reason why you are sick right now. And mentally? It is a lifetime withdrawal for me...But everyone has their drug "best friend/demon".
 
Oxy w/d - because it's my biggest demon (drug-wise) and I keep hopping back on, and riding it harder. + benzos, only did the combo w/d once. I didn't realize it until I started taking my medication again (for anxiety, clonazepam/temazepam). Horrendous - it's been summed up pretty well though, so I won't go into depth.

Hardcore, I could never bring myself to eat pod powder, I wish I would have tried before obtaining them became bullshit.

Alcohol for me. I am on day 8 right now and drank daily for over 10 years.

Good for you. Eight days is a great start, just be patient and don't give in to just one drink. It will probably suck for a while but if your not having seizures or serious withdrawal symptoms, you're past the worst.

Ten years is a lot of drinking, to stop and make it eight days is admitting you have a problem and taking control.
 
i did almost two whole weeks of benzo/opiate withdrawal with some crappy weed and drink; had to leave home and stay at a college house with my best friend; i could barely move, sleep was unheard of and my body ached and flailed around uncontrollably.....that was a few months IV use of Valium and Morphine interchangeably....some of the worst pain ever
 
well the worst thing I"VE been through was methadone at 150mg cold turkey. lost thirty pounds from not eating or drinking and shitting my life out. lasted roughly a month and i couldn't take the insomnia anymore. i slept maye 24 hours in thirty days. it was horrible. oxycodone was a mofo too. kicked that at 200mg cold turkey. i finally broke down on day 7 and started with tramadol and then back to oxycodone, hydrocodone, andthing that i could get basically.
 
First, whoever said that Klonopin is one of the nastiest benzos out there to come off of has never experienced a seizure from coming off of Xanax. Yes, it happens, and it happens often. I would take Klonopin over Xanax any day for that reason and that reason alone.

"Hey, why am I back in my bed when I should be finishing my paper?" (The girlfriend is on the end of the bed crying.) OH, RIGHT, GRAND MAL XANAX SEIZURE. FUCK!

I haven't experienced many withdrawals, just nasty side-effects from the drugs I have done. But I would have to say that, in my experience, the worst drug to come off of is amphetamines, Adderall. It just screws with your mind so ridiculously bad that, when all is said and done, you are not even sure who the hell you are anymore or who you were to begin with. Oh, and the jaw-clicking and snapping that persists years after and will most likely never go away, yeah...
 
how long does it take for you to feel w/d

how long can you deal with it before you freak out and do whatever you can to get well

things seem to get metabolized slowly with me ,one dose of methadone and depending on mg i can skip a day somtime three..but i get antsy as hell
 
opiates and opioids are just a mean bitch. luckily it the least damaging of all the drugs, but the most addicting. many will argue and i say TO EACH THEIR OWN! everyone i mean everyone is different. i mean my wife was addicted to suspensions. ya SUSPENSIONS as in hanging by giant hooks from an apparatus. so i guess she was addicted to pain and the rush she would get was wicked. i've seen her eyes get pinned yes pinned after being pierced and hung. she would often nod out during the suspension.
 
shooting powder heroin it depends on the size of my habit its anywhere from 12 to 24 hours with the average being somewhere in the middle of the two.
right now its around 18 hours
 
if i use at like 11pm at about 8 or 9am ther coming on and waking me up reminding me fuck my life befor i got on methadone anyways now i dont gota feel that horrible shit anymore
 
Snorting oxymorphone...around 7-8 hours to be in moderate withdrawal. I go into withdrawal faster than anyone ive ever used with.

Sublingual suboxone...depending on the dose 18-24 hours.
 
36 hours i find with codeine. Starts with a thunderstorm in the belly. Also waking up in a cold sweat & grabbing a towel.
