Thread: Strategies for Opioid Withdrawal

Soma (carisoprodol) is great for the muscle aches, and it also helps you sleep if you can't. I also highly recommend staying submerged in a hot bathtub or a spa/jacuzzi as much as possible. I've heard a lot of people say the same thing, too. It really does do wonders.

Um do people really go to the ER for bad withdrawals? I mean... I've thought of it before but an ER visit has to be more expensive than going to get some dope or whatever... I guess if you have really good insurance it might work but I still wouldn't do that. Withdrawals are hell but its not an emergency... the ER is for emergencies. I'd feel like a total asshole for making somebody with a potentially serious injury wait because...

in theory you can even painlessly quit benzos if you reduce your dose by no more than 10% every week... so in theory this will work, but in practice most of us addicts cant keep the discipline to take the same dose every day for a week if its less than what it takes to get us high, let alone continue lowering the dose each weak untill its down to nothing (well close to it rather....)

I kind of have to agree with The Hebrew Hammer. I am currently in day 2 of withdrawel from 60-90mgs of Opana ER insufflated. It hurts so freakin bad! My whole body hurts and it's a major strain just to pull myself up into an upright position in bed. The worst symptom for me by far is the RLS type of stuff, except I get it in my whole body and it lasts all day and all night. I'm so tired and weak and sore and I just squirm around in...

Hey guys, just going to respond to some of the comments here. Yes I am aware that using any opiate after you go into withdrawal obviously isn't total detox. But for all of you out there that have experienced the true hell of opiate withdrawal you can understand why many will use them. I'm not talking about getting onto maintenance with these drugs, I just mean to take them in small doses for several days tapering off as you go....

is ambien good for the sweats chills and sleeping aspect when going through oxycodone withdrawal with someone taking oh I dunno 50mg of the 10/325's?

Thankfully i live in canada where it can be bought OTC. Sometimes tramadol depending on which other drugs im taking. Tramadol helps abit but not as much as codeine and...
