just another vote for pregabalin/gabapentin as a withdrawal med.  Honestly the best approach is a combination recipie of meds: best case scenario is some pregabalin/gabapentin, clonidine or lofexidine in smaller doses, a bit of DXM (twice reccomended dose is good and nowhere near enough for psychoactive effects), and some benzos if you have them.  Both the clonidine and gabapentin can be bought online, and the DXM is OTC (make sure you get the kind that is just DXM like Delsym, no other cough or cold meds added).  Add in a taper if possible and you're golden.

I've not used this to kick opiates completely but I've used it to drop down abruptly from a ridiculous fent run to just regular meds a bunch of times, an act that would normally make for much suffering, and it works beautifully--sleeping great and fully functional the whole time, the only thing you're missing is the part where you're actually getting high.

Thoms! Its great to see you. Missed you and your decision to become a cloud lol

Did you find meth helpful for wd's for real? Because from the reading I did on that, like 80-90% of people felt strongly that it is a bad idea and will make you feel a bazillion times worse. It seemed to help me at 1/2 my normal dose. I was too scared to go any higher.

ya i can attest to the shitty feeling of too much clonidine, i mixed up my pills one night after taking some ativan and took 3 .2mg and i was drooling and feeling god awful.

Holy Christmas on a cracker! How long did it take until you felt better? I thought 2 or 3 .1's spread out was bad,  I can't imagine 6 at once. Did you feel like passing out or faint?

i didn't feel better til the morning after but my dad was super worried I was overdosing.

stims only help in the initial hours as they stretch out the effect of your last opiate dose.

so that's some help only at the beginning and is no solution to your problem; find some opiates, of course.

i never made it past day 2 of a Methadone habit withdrawal so i appreciate your misery ... i suggest using actual opiates and to get yourself right, ASAP.

72 hours! If you're kicking a short acting opiate you1'd be well on your way to getting clean!
We use Benzos and lofexidine here and it works ok.

And full marks for the sticky wicket metaphor.

Which opiate are you well on your way to clean!?!?

I do 72hrs more frequently than I care to
maybe once a month or so
and no comfort anything

Maybe fent, maybe not

And yes, I am just buttering your scone
(Thats British. ...right?)

For me meth really does help. Its been one week since my last shot of morphine and like 3 days or so since i flushed the bit of crystal we had left. It was pretty shitty crystal though. This was in addition to lope. Ymmv i might add that i have only used meth a couple times and none for maybe two years prior to this kick. No more of that shit though. It served its purpose.

Good on you thoms, a week is a real accomplishment 😊

[Thoms]

Now comes the hard part

[Opi-ette (OP)]

Thoms a week is nothing to sneeze at...that's awesome. And you are right, now comes the
hard part I'm wishing you lots of luck and good vibes to get you through it.

Coming here helps a lot so when you are feeling those feelings come talk to us.

Kind of an old thread, but Kratom is the absolute best for when your out of goods imo. Certain kinds would take away my wds 100% and then some. When it kicks in, it would give me that burst of a good feeling and become talkative just like when vics first hit. Plus kratom is an awesome all natural therapy for many many things.
