Please if you have advice for at home detox from opioids

Oh they definitely help! If I didn’t have any subs there’s no way I’d be able to make it lbs no joke! The only thing I do say is don’t shoot up the subs!!! A friend of mine did and he went thru the worst withdrawals in his life

I’ve never shot up anything actually. So I don’t have to worry about that but yeah I heard suboxone you can’t shoot up. Subutex you can shoot up actually and they don’t usually give subutex to someone that shoots up. I was able to get them bc I told the dr I’ve never shot up anything ever. Are you going out and doing stuff or are you still sick still and just want to lay in bed? Is the sub helping with the depression etc?

Oh OK I gotchu… I’ve never gone to the Dr for subs I usually buy em off ppl… But I’m feeling fine, if I have to go somewhere I do but since I’m not working at the moment and school doesn’t start till the end of August I’m just at home… I do get bored so I’ve been smoking a lot of weed and I’ve been doing my best to not touch the dope lol I haven’t been depressed but that’s cause of the weed otherwise I’d be crying right now lol

Good for you. You should be so proud of yourself right now. If you don’t mind me asking did you shoot up? Are the withdrawals worse if you shoot up?

I’ve been an opiate addict for 11 to 12 years. Started going to a Dr. to do suboxone treatments. Best decision I could have made. Bottom line…everyone’s body is different and reacts differently to different treatments. Suboxone is my saviour. My doctor is a specialist on the medication. I suggest finding a good solid doctor who can help you manage your suboxone(if it works for you). I was an IV heroin user for the passed 6 years of my addiction. I’ve tried EVERYTHING. If you want an at home detox… Try the chamomile tea (or sleepy time tea), Immodium AD, and Benedryl to help with your withdrawls until you can see a doctor. It’s tough to cold turkey. I give major props to anyone that can do it. Unfortunately for me, I think my mental health was too screwed up to handle something like that. But I know it can be done. You CAN and WILL do this!!:blush::blush:

It’s been 13 days clean from that shit and still can’t sleep.

I take melatonin(10mg) to help sleep. It works for me. And then the St. John’s Wart to help with anxiety. If you dont want to take suboxone you could try gabapetin. It’s by prescription only but it’s not a controlled substance and helps tremendously with withdrawls as well as anxiety and insomnia. :+1::+1:

I’ve herd many Suboxone stories that are bad, mainly because of abuse. You obviously are taking them like you’re supposed to. Massive props to you for that.

I shoot up lol never liked anything up my nose cause I have horrible allergies lmao! I mean I guess I’m proud of myself eh I’ll be proud of myself when and if I make it past two weeks cause I never stay clean longer than that smh… As long as you use subs in a positive way and not to get high it’ll all work out! The withdrawals are definitely worse if you shoot up cause you’re putting the dope in your blood stream

That’s the only way to do it :joy: if you play you pay, and I understand that and I’m paying

I used to take roxy 30mg, I owned my own company with my brother and honestly money was never an issue so spending $30 bucks a pill and taking like 20 pills a day was never a problem. Well last year some shit happened with our other partner and left us with nothing that’s when the problem got bad and I turned to heroin but never shot up. Truthfully I don’t even really like heroin, I like blues so much better I love how blues gave me energy heroin doesn’t really do that. So I actually cut down a lot bc I don’t think heroin would be my drug of choice. He mental part of being scared is why I can’t stop right now but I’m hoping bc I don’t like heroin as much as I liked blues I will be able to do it with sub. Also, People said that the withdrawals were literally ten times worse if you shot up. So hopefully I take a xanax wait long enough to take a piece of a sub and last the first week. I honestly don’t mind being sick (throwing up and stuff when that happened when I took the sub too soon I didn’t give in to getting some h bc of being sick I gave in bc I couldn’t get a xanax for the anxiety I felt the third day) the anxiety is what makes me nervous for everything. And the sleepless nights. I’m gonna buy everything everyone reccomended on this post. Thanks so much for everything. Does the subs give you insomnia as well? Or does that mean you aren’t on a high enough of a dose

How long did you want to take the sub? Also were you still anxious and do you still sleep at all. I got 10 xanax from the dr to help with the anxiety and the insomnia. I have cut down on how much heroin I’ve been using. Yesterday bc I took a quarter of a xanax I only did two bags I’m doing the same today and then starting the subs tomorrow. I’m terrified of going into precipitated withdrawal so I wanted to make sure I cut down before I started them. I think the stuff I get is so strong bc two little bags lasted all day. And if I was to get it from someone else I would feel like shit if I did three bags all at once. Also if i did a whole bag before I went to sleep I could sleep a full 8 hours or so and not feel like garbage when I first wake up, I can wait a couple hours if I had to to do anything and be fine. That’s why I like roxy though bc I knew what I was taking and how much of it I was, with Heroin you honestly have no idea what they mix it with :confused: I’m gonna do a five day taper with the subs bc I’m not gonna stay on them long and I’m def not gonna get anymore xanax then the ten bc I’m not getting used to those either. I expect to be sick with only being on subs for 5 days but I just want the worst of it to be over and now that my family knows I’m telling them to not let me leave the house the next two weeks. Once I know what to expect I think it will be easier for me to do but besides the time I got sick from the precipitated withdrawal I’ve never been sick, honestly I never used to matter if I had them or not (the Roxies) the only thing that would happen is my back would hurt and I wouldn’t really feel like doing anything but watch tv for like five days. I never ever got sick when I didn’t have them people were amazed how I wouldn’t get sick that’s is so surprising how scared I am of getting sick right now. Good for you about deciding to get subs :slight_smile:
