r/DrugWithdrawal

Anonymous account for obvious reasons: I’m about 6 days in of zero fentanyl. I’m going to a methadone clinic and that is helping with the super nasty physical symptoms. I definitely have not been sleeping. Can’t regulate my body temp. Super anxious all the time. And my whole body just feels like it’s tired and just empty. Color is dead. Music isn’t worth listening to. Food tastes weird. I don’t know man. I’m worried that this is what post acute withdrawal feels like and I don’t think I can do this for 6 months straight. I’ve been using pretty much non stop for 8 years with a tolerance of about gram and a half to two grams a day of fentanyl. I guess I am just hoping to see if anyone else has been in a similar spot and could tell me what I should focus on to make this work. And someone needs to level with me on if this is going to get better or if this is just what being sober feels like.

Made plans to go into detox Friday after work. Parkman recovery said just be there before 9. I was. And then they kicked me out because I was dirty for Methadone. I had take like 10 MGs last weekend because I was trying to detox at home. So, now I have to detox at home. Already took the time off work, so now I'm just doing my best to push through.

Get passion flower extract and agmatine sulfate. You can get both for about $20 on Amazon. Double the recommended amount for at least a couple of days before you stop. You’re welcome.

Well this is day 13 i was down and out the first week or almost 10 days in my recliner…alot of throwing up and runs and nasty thoughts happened…i went and worked a whole week now using a quarter to half a 8mg sub a day and it wasnt that terrible i made it thru anyway…im running outta comfort meds like the clonazpams are gone and only a few etizolams left ive been using sparingly when i cant sleep and need to…mainly its my energy i have none other then to sit here and smoke weed and hash which on the odd ocassion makes me glo and feel ok for a few mins…otherwise i always feel like something is missing which is obvious the opis. I have a large stash that i have no interest in touching really at all.i vac sealed and stashed in a good spot that me or the wife would know either have touched it and would have to answer to each other…yet i dont want it i still have this weird feeling of missing out or missing something which saps my energy to do things that i used to…i suppose more time will heal this bullshit it seems all a mental game now…to give my life worth without the confidence of the opiates that made me feel like i could get anything done and enjoy it.the clonazpams really helped a few times dealing with the mental problems this is causing me…ive always been strong mentally its hard to explain i didnt even believe anxiety was a real thing…i am now weak and mental problems are very real…when i took 2 the clonazpams it was like all my worry and anxiety dissappeared for few hours and sleep was so good…life just doesnt feel real yet like a movie im in or matrix…i just do what i know im supposed to do everyday it all seems fake…everyone at my job seems fake…i just keep quiet and do my job and go home…my friends there know what i was into and they have been trying to be normal but i dont feel like hanging out or anything…i hope they understand its not them…just sent my kids out with money to buy something for mothers day for their mom who will be very surprised they remembered. Im horrible at gifting my wife takes care of all that all of it….so hope they get her something good lol…either way im sick of this, the limbo between ok and not ok the unrealness of everything the fake uselessness of society…i generally like my job i drive around and deliver boxes. Its not hard and it is right now just because something seems missing its hard to describe it…and i hope it goes away soon. The subs help alot but i only have so many left and dont want to be on them long anyway but they help immensely…i dont crave or want the dillys…i wish i had of stocked up on the xanax before i did this my normal guy is out…i dont ever take it and always had 100 on hand for the wife and now that i need them i got 3 left grr…so off to the darkwebs i go to hope for something at least somewhat safe if thats possible…maybe they have few more subs too just incase…

Well I am trying to quit cold turkey once again for about the so many times I can’t even remember 36 hours in stomach pain and burning is bad. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Ready to give up…ive been in my basement for 4 days now in a shit mood and cant even face my children yet…my wife is at work and i am glued to my chair with the star wars saga on the last movie…not a fan of these movies the last 3 anyway but i watch em anyway cause its star wars i have my own head canon about the new ones so it still is ok…but im bored of this and i never get bored of star wars. I dont know how im gonna get back to work…i have a good job and like it generally and want to keep it just dont know if i can be ready to get back at it by then i feel like im 75 years old and can hardly stand… i made it outside yesterday to sit in my yard and take out the dogs it was good but too much going on outside for me…then i came in and had a shower and ate some kd the wife made…everything tastes like shit and smells bad also. Even cigarettes taste gross which is bad cause i smoked 2 packs aday on drugs now i cant make it thru a pack a day…my ashtray is overflowing… i didnt tell my kids like everyone says i shouldn’t but i feel like im lying to them…i took a xanax and nyquil last night to sleep…i just took another dose of nyquil and its not making me tired the xanax didnt seem to do much except make me jittery and restless im tempted on suboxone right now to get rid of this awful feeling but i had a bad go first time i tried it.. it sent me to withdraws fast but after couple hours i was ok.

I’m an 18 yr old female. Not sure if height and weight matters since we’re talking about drugs here but I’m 5’0 at 115 pounds. Recently (2 months ago) I started smoking weed. And I never stopped. I smoked every night because I had realized it helped me sleep at night + got me high (duh). Now, before this I was on birth control and Prozac for 2 years and suddenly stopped because I forgot all about it since I started smoking. All. I. Wanted. Was. WEED!! I usually smoke after I get home from school or work which is fine, but suddenly I went cold turkey. Not because I wanted to, but because I haven’t had any available on me. Today is day 2 I’ve been having chest pains, abdominal pains, and I threw up this morning too. My appetite has also decreased severely and I’m terrified. My grandma had also made chicken soup tonight and I felt terrible I could barely eat it. :(

Day 5 really sucked i musta ate something bad I’ve been throwing up since last night at around 8 pm actually pooped my pants while sleeping which has never happened i don’t think that was withdraw cause i ate a bunch of food and it didn’t agree…its been since 8 last night and my last barf was bout an hour ago…took 3 clonazpams and and etizolam to try to get some sleep got a few hours sleep in the last few but I’m awake again now and want to sleep more …i could sleep anywhere on the opis…like dead sleep anywhere chair floor my work truck. It was so easy now im an insomniac trying to get thru these…long nights and lack of sleep makes wd worse…the pukin was unexpected.every time i fill water…can for some reason i havent been. I was doing ok today just my satosnach and the diarrhea

9 weeks ago I had major orthopedic surgery. I left the hospital taking 20mg oxycodone instant release every 4 hours around the clock… 120mg a day. I’ve weaned myself somewhat gradually down to 15mg long acting twice a day. The withdrawal through the process has been horrible- mostly the extreme panic and depression, but the drug is ruining my life.

I can’t continue with a slow taper. I want off of this stuff. My prescriber says it isn’t medically dangerous to stop taking it at this dose but that it will likely be unpleasant. I’m no stranger to unpleasant- the withdrawals from dose reductions have certainly been that. I’ve got clonidine, zofran, Dramamine, and advil/tylenol.

That said, I’m really scared. Any words of wisdom? I know 30mg a day is small in the grand scheme of things, but it feels like a lot and I’ve got a ton of anxiety.
