withdrawal from Poppy Seed Tea, am i prepared?

[BrokenPromise]

I've been using Poppy Seed Tea daily for about 5 months. 500 grams each morning. I've decided to quit but unfortunately my work schedule won't allow me to take any weekdays off to recover so I'll want to make this as manageable as possible. This is my survival kit so far...

I've got a weeks supply of Etizolam.
I'm about to go to the pharmacy and get some Loperamide, how much Lopearmide (Imodium) will I need?
Lots of Advil
I will also be drinking Kombucha everyday as I've heard this helps.
Gingko Bilboa, Brahmi, B-Vitamins, Magnesium and Rhodia Rosea.
Is Modafinil safe to take throughout withdrawal? I also will be I also plan to work out each day (10 min cardio and some weight training).
Thanks in advance, this really is a brilliant community and we're lucky to have a support group like this.

It sounds good to me. Although l have heard that PST has a longer withdrawal than some other opiates. Hop over to the dark side sub forum, there is an amazing support network over there and some people who may have first hand knowledge of poppy seed tea situations. Best of luck to you.

Ok I am going through the same thing except I have only been using for 1.5 months and I only used 200-300 grams... I have now been 108 hours without it, 4.5 days... All that said I don't want to make you feel worse than you already do but I have to be honest...
the first 48 hours were relatively painless, my last dose was Saturday morning and Sunday morning I took 36mg of Lope so I could go to work as I was already experiencing some withdrawals and that made it relatively painless till Monday night and that is when hell struck.. That night was fucking hell, horrible restlessness all over my body(I took benadryl which might have made it worse) and then woke up several times just feeling miserable, like if I had a fever.. I spent all Tuesday feeling as if I had a fever but didn't really and then today(Wednesday) I did have a fucking fever all day, like just barely but still, I feel horrible, Idk how much longer this can last when I only used for 1.5 months.. Tonight I have 1mg of Xanax so hopefully I will sleep well because the last 2 nights have been complete hell... I have really annoying pain on both my legs and arms and my skin burns and just feel so miserable.. I didn't take any more Lope cause I hear it is really bad for you in high doses and also I ran out and don't want to go buy any.. I really hope tomorrow I wake up feeling better god damn it.. Well I hope your experience is easier although I seriously doubt it.. The ONE positive thing I can say is that I got ZERO mental withdrawal symptoms, no depression or anxiety, when I quit hydro also after 1.5 month of use I had horrible anxiety and depression for a week but this time nothing so hopefully you won't experience that part either which makes everything 5,000 times harder... Good Luck

Seems like a quick taper would have helped avoid some of those WDs'.. I tried cold turkey once and it scared the shit out of me.. So I do a taper no matter what now. I never use for more than a week straight now either, so the WD usually only last for a day.. Lessons learned..

I hear you and I am already planning on doing the same when I use again, except I will only use 3 days and give myself at least 8,9 days in between.. I am now on day 5 and still feel like fucking shit, maybe a tad better than yesterday... I am NEVER going through this again
