Alprazolam (8 year addiction), Tramadol, Gabapentin, poly-drug w/d of all different kinds (i've never been hooked on 1 thing).

I have heard so many different things about gabapentin. Whats the deal with it? I have heard a million stories of restless legs, kicking, dissociation, and general discomfort among many other symptoms. Usually from onetime use. Any info on why, other than 'prob because it wasnt prescribed'. Also, whats the detox like.

W/d from pregabalin was hell for me. Totally restless 24/7 and unable to sleep for about 3-4 days. I didn't experience any w/d from gabapentin tho
 
Heroin is the most bearable and almost wuphoric withdrawal because you have a spiritual experience - Naked Lunch by Burroughs is poetic not because it goes into the heroin high which is not that interesting of itself,but concerns itself with the heightened weltanschauung of fricking heroin wihdrawals, Next time you kick H savor the heightened perceptions and instensified emotions, the vulnerability and breakdown of your wall. The most pointless withdrawal is suboxone. Heroin w/ds are 72 hour. You jump in knowing that and face it anything is bearable for 72 hoursl. With suboxone its just shittiness no transcendence or beauty anywhere and you have no assurane of how long it wil last.
 
Methadone was the worst for me. I have heard that benzo WD can be the worst but I never liked them enough to find out.

Methadone was a month long hellish version of Heroin WD. Couldn't sleep or eat the entire month even with smoking huge amounts of pot every day. Lost 40lbs during that month and even after the acute WD the depression and cravings were soooo bad that I wasn't able to hold on and relapsed.
 
then you have

meperidine w/d, which is strange and unpleasant. sort of like tramadol w/d where you feel like you could have a seizure at any moment, hot flashes, cold extremities, migraines...yuck
 
nothing was worse than meth for me,and I never had more than very small dose.I felt like people with cancer one hour before they pass out forever.I was so destroyd,the pain,the lack of energy,the horrible mind state... what a shity crap meth is
 
I have been addicted to a couple of different drugs, although my only addiction now is Heroin. Heroin Wd's suck bad, but the Benzo WD's were so bad I thought I was dying. I hate all WD's and they are all horrible, but benzos seem the worst to me, followed by Heroin.

I like your take on this because you are so right about the Heroin WD's and how it literally tears down your wall emotionally. I would not though call it beautiful lol, and it still sucks no matter how you look at it....
 
^Yeah, I have had some beautiful realizations while in heroin withdrawal. Methadone the acute withdrawal isn't bad, but the shitty methadone paws that go on for months suck so bad. I had diarreah for months after getting off methadone.

Traumatic Withdrawal Experiences

Hey guys.

This thread is about hellish, traumatic times we have had during methadone/severe opioid or benzodiazepine withdrawal. Post up some of the most fucked up cringe worthy fucked up times in withdrawal you've had.

This threads inspiration came from the resulting withdrawal induced by me double-dosing then instantly spewing up my dose, causing me to go about 60 hours without methadone. 24 hours causes no effects what so other, about 35 hours in i start to feel weak and abit weird, 50 hours in is where the bullshit begun. Although my 8 hours or so of waiting for my dose after my sickness started was pretty mild, what it did do was make it incredibly clear to me how intense methadone withdrawal is and just how hard it is to express the true hell that withdrawal is.

The restlessness is what i find to be the worst part about both opioid and benzodiazepine withdrawal, i mean if you feel like shit fair enough, but when you cant even lay down and just exist in agony, that truely is hell. You lay down, your muscles feel weird your legs kicking and in pain, u want to get up again, but if you do then you will fuck ur body temp up and feel like your inside a freezer, it's just hell. Even this little bit of withdrawal reminded me just how fucked and potentially traumatic cold turkey withdrawal is.

So basically, do you guys have any stories of seriously difficult withdrawal times? Even traumatic times? Maybe you were sick as fuck and had an hours long difficult journey to score, but u got there waited an hour and then got told hes got nothing so you missioned it all the way back home, or whatever ect. Just fucked up times.

I'm confident we can all agree proper withdrawal is one of the most fucked up things in existance, and if you dont think this, i personally dont think you have been exposed to severe enough withdrawals.

My worst withdrawal story is no where near as bad as some of these but i had work Wed - Mon from 12pm to 930pm on all of those days. And Tuesday I ran out of oxy and had no money so obviously i had to work all of my shifts while WD'ing and man did that suck, work never went so painfully slow it fuckin sucked. But I maned up and did all 6 days of work which when i was done felt like the best accomplishment ever.
 
i', withdrawing right now. wish i wasn't. i'm out of town in lafayette colorado, meeting family for the first time. i have two days left til i go home, we will see how i feel. i know if my body hurts i will fix, but if no i can stop finally. i can almost assure i will still feel shitty.
 
The worst part for me is the insomnia. I was taking shits, coughing, puking, chills, fever, 'cold sweats', whole body pain, etc. for a few days, but the insomnia just doesn't let up.

Also, the insomnia seems to be nearly incurable. I have had the luxury of having xanax, valium, ambien, diphen, doxyl, melatonin, alcohol, and weed during w/ds, but even with all that, I have been unable to stop the insomnia!

The part about the insomnia that makes it so much worse than all the other symptoms of wd is that it doesnt go away. Weeks go by, and I am still unable to get enough sleep. Its kinda like saying, would you rather get punched in the stomach once, or would you rather be left outside in the cold in your underwear for a whole day? the stomach punch might be a bit more painful, but once its over, then it is over.

I end up wasting my whole day, staring at the ceiling or watching tv in hopes that I will eventually fall asleep. I daydream about the euphoria of sleeping. Especially during the first week, I would take all sorts of things and still only get about 4 hours of sleep every 36-48 hours. You enter this horrible, zombie-like state. You don't want to do anything because you want sleep, and even if you wanted to do something, you aren't really functional from being sleep deprived, but you can't fall asleep, so you are in this horrible purgatory which will never seem to end.

Do other people have this problem with the insomnia or is it just me?
