Hey ladies and gents - any advice would be really appreciated on this matter. I've gradually become dependent/ addicted to opiates. I have a prescription from my doc for a legitimate medical condition but like lots of others, my tolerance has risen and now I'm using IOP's. I really just want to get back down to a manageable level of what my doc has prescribed. I'm not such a heavy user that I'll be horribly physically ill. My problem is mainly psychological I think. I unerstand that I may still have pain issues with the lower dose but I'm willing to deal with that to get back down to my proper dosage.

So my question is - Should I use a benzo to help with the anxiety. I don't believe they will be an addiction problem for me as they don't give me a buzz, just more of a relaxation. I never crave them like I do opiates. I hate to fly and have taken lorazepam forr anxiety and it did seem to help. Do you all think that would work or do I neednsomething stronger. I started tapering a few days ago and while I miss the buzz I don't feel sick BUT I am starsting to feel extremely nervous and fearful zbout getting sick. I ve also started to feel sort of sad and exhausted. Unfortunately I cant really take time off from work to do this.

Any suggestions? Which of the benzo's are best for this? What about adhd meds for daytime? Is this really stupid? I dont want to trade one problem for another but at this point I'm willing to try anything. So I need something to help with depression and anxiety. Any and all advice is welcome. And yes I know thiis is not some kind of recovery board but I figured at least a couple of you have gone through this.

Thanks in advance......

 
i have heard alot say diazepam has the longest half life and will ease you anxiety as well as helping with muscle spsms nd has a low potetial for abuse. good for you trying to get your usage back under control.

 
I'd say diazepam as well, but the problem is that benzos and opiates affect different neurochemistry and you're still going to feel horrible. Horrible and groggy from the huge amount of diazepam you'll need. You'll also most likely develop an addiction to benzos in the process, which is even more dangerous than opiate/opioid addiction. All in all, not the ideal situation.

 
I agree, Diazepam, since it lasts longer, but Clonazpam or Ativan may also be good choices.. Diazpeam would be the best since it has the longest half life.

 
I don't think benzos would be an issue for me. They make me realt sleepy. Not something I really enjoy but I'm sure it's wise to worry. Thanks for the input everyone.

 
The only benzo that I have ever liked is Diazepam and it was a blessing anytime I had some of those when I was going through withdrawal.

Oppie only makes you wish you were dead.

Bennie will kill you.

If you believe can use it without trading a piggyback Monkey for a deadly 8000# GORILLA ,,,,,

At all cost I would steer clear of BENNIE

 
Valiums helped me withdraw from this monkey that climbed on my back. Those who tell "spook" stories about valiums or benzo's i feel shouldn't because if you can control your want/desire for having them, it's a lot easier to kick benny than it is oppie and trust me once you have that off your back, there's plenty of ways to not want benny again. To me at least. Benny was a cure in a way to "disoasciate" myself from the w/d pain of oppie and after i was out of that... good god i was happy. Havne't taken benny since.

 
I just wanted to add that from what i've heard, some people get addicted to benny's after using them to kick poppy and others (like me) do not. I would listen equally to the people who say benny is dangerous to get into and i would believe them too. But to me it worked to help alleviate w/d effects from poppy and i didnt have a problem stopping ben's after this because i was thankful to be off dope. that is all. cheers.

 
So benzos have definitely helped. I don't really get any pleasure from them so no addiction issues. I'm back to my prescribed meds. I'll also mention that I also used some Ritalin to helP with the tiredness and depression. So I'm back to prescribed opiates. No additional purchases. The only extra I'm buying now is the Ritalin. I'm sure I need to quit that as well but it's not really interfering with my life and it really helps with my attitude during the day. I used Ativan for about 3 weeks at night to help me sleep as I tapered. I still have to take one every now and then to sleep. Thanks everyone for all of the advice.

 
Fo me, the Valium and Xanax did help me kick the Oppie. Also being cut off from my doc played a huge part also (frig). As written above, really I'm also happy to be off dope cuz I was on lots at one dark point in my life. I'll save the details. Maybe a bit too much fun as a teen. Paying the price now I'm afraid.



For me now, its Benzo's and Cold Ones!

Diazapam helped me in the past the most, especially with the muscle spasms. Maybe it was my imagination, but I believe it also helped with the fevers/chills/sweats. Tread carefully, though: it is very addictive. What helped me was only having a small supply so I could only use them when I needed it badly.

 
Most addiction specialists will tell that prescribtion medication is with out a doubt the hardest drug to detox more so then Herion. Herion is out of your system in three days and I am sure they are not an easy three days. Pills on the other hand can take months because of builds up in your tissues and flushes out slowly,

You might want to try a methadone clinc for a month and they will lower the dosing throughout. With out any history as to how long you have been taking the pills and how much were taken daily . It is more for the person taking prescribtion pills for long time.

 
i have WD from OC 80"s but i hear methadone is 5 times harder to kick than heroin or OC"s. it gets into your bone marrow so its is like a heroin withdraw that lasts 1-3 months!!! god that would be vicious.  i read that this is proven fact . IMO   stay far far away from methodone !!!!

 
iv got a 65ml metdone aday problem and trying to find th rite mix of drugs to help the deductions lik diaz/temaz and alot of ketamine.it works but i no th damage of ketmin after long usages

 
I find Diaz for day-to-day calmness, Temaz/Nitraz for sleep.

also a cheap one to help the sweats is Clonidine,  but be careful of dosage, especially as its non-buzzy.

another also;  since many people have tolerance to Ops & Benz/Alcohol,  ATARAX can be thrown in to help, as it works by a different mechanism.

Much Love & Good Luck

just tough out the opiate withdrawals, benzos are 100x worse, please without being a dick you need to do some research online To gain an understanding of addidiction both sides physical and psychological, no one should ever start taking benzos to get off opiates, opiate withdrawal is a walk in the park compared to stopping benzos....

 
You think? I have never been through opiate wds. But i have been through tramp withdrawals and benzo withdrawals. Tramp wds are by FAR worse.

  2. xenxra @ xenxra: @3ak mostly, will prob be gone entirely by end of summer imo
  3. F @ frozenSR17: hope everyone has a nice start 2 their weekend. "keep it one hunnid," as someone once said to me
  4. 3 @ 3ak: 4f-mph dried up?
  5. xenxra @ xenxra: pretty sure black also went rogue sometime late last year
  6. Strawhat7 @ Strawhat7: Yo, whatever happened to Mr. Black? Just got a rando email from him after ghosting me like a year and a half ago
  7. LW815 @ LW815: Know what’s really going on in somebody else’s head or how much they’re really dealing with and feel like they’re left with no other options. Been a very sad few days but 2 complete (irl anyway) strangers cared enough about what I was going through to talk to me about it, though they owe me nothing and have no reason to help my personal pain other than the kindness in their own hearts. Just shows that this place is a real community, not just a forum of people who only care about themselves.
  8. LW815 @ LW815: Was nodding in/out the entire time writing those shouts and spparently was fully out sending the last one lol. But II find it ‘uplifting’ as two people I’ve never actually met and only know the others online presence through subscriptions, who I have a better chance of getting a handy J from Jesus Christ himself, both were so quick to share their own experience and wise words and assurances that things will look up and not to feel guilty or be mad at somebody for going that route - as you never
  9. xenxra @ xenxra: @hotdog45 meh, same difference. they both got blacklisted on here. wouldn't be the first time a rogue shop sent out unsolicited comms after the fact.
  10. MOD @ MOD: Hello @everyone
  11. LW815 @ LW815: Own personal experience with this kind of this type kind of situation and sympathized with my pain when I really just needed somebody to talk to. Both went out of their way to help a stranger in a time of need when I really needed somebody, and body to talk to. MM
  12. LW815 @ LW815: Sent a simple conf email and I just dropped a ball on them. I really just needed to let it out, didn’t expect them to reply in such a thoughtful way that it drastically changed the rest of my day and mindset for the bette . Above and beyond - and the last night while chatting with another that I knew had at least once one child,, so i wished them a belated happy Father’s Day, which again caused me to spill it all to them and again received the most thoughtful and kind response, as well as their-
  13. LW815 @ LW815: They didn’t need to. They could have just continued on with the nature or the main purpose of what the relationship between us is, I didn’t really have anybody else to let it out to at the time and they both went far beyond what I’d expect. Not that I’d assumed they’re cold/A-holes - it was just a lot from somebody who’s technically a competent stranger. A very close friend of mine committed suicide on Father’s Day and iwas emotionally wrecked witih nobody to talk to, and the first author just
  14. LW815 @ LW815: @Mokachin0 not really uplifting in the normal sense, but two popular authors on here took the time out of their likely very busy days to not only read my massive walls of text, but both also replied with the most kind, thoughtful and positive responses when I randomly dumped my personal problems into their laps
  15. H @ hotdog45: I have never ordered mags from him I meant
  16. H @ hotdog45: @xenxra I thought that too but after digging on the site it is chemical cabinet. Either way I deleted the email. I have ordered mags from him, but I thought you guys should know he's reaching out to people again. After reading the thread if anyone gets an email from him I would suggest doing the same.
  17. xenxra @ xenxra: @hotdog45 isn't that ghost? he threw his rep in the trash and got blacklisted
  18. O @ oh be g: thank you! hopefully this will inpsirw someone!
  19. M @ Mokachin0: @oh be g check your dms!
  20. O @ oh be g: these were instilled in me by a coworker who has had about the worst trauma experiences in life and he is still the most positive upbeat guy ive met
