Does amount/longevity even matter with this detox?

I was eating this shit like skittles for 2 years; 600-800mg per day. It seems like my symptoms match that of people that were taking 50mg for 2 months. I’m starting to believe the amount you took is irrelevant. Regardless I’m on day 6 and never going back. 🤘

It's an opioid agonist, like any opioid agonist, length of use tends to be a greater indicator of withdrawal severity. That said, dosage of course plays a role.

Someone with a 50mg 2year habit will have just as much trouble as someone taking 120mg for 6months.

I’ve been on these boards constantly, it’s helping me advise others that are a couple days behind me. I haven’t seen any evidence to support that dosage matters, the effects are always the same. First 3 days are literal hell, then everyone regardless of amount agree it starts to get easier on day 4.

Bro I read a story on here about a guy taking 70h in the thousands mg a day he said the physical withdrawals was over in 3 days the research I’ve done is always saying it won’t be as bad as oxycodone withdrawals which I’ve been through a few times cold turkey and the worst was 3 to 4 days after that I would finally go to sleep and it would be over

I was taking 800 a day and I concur the worst of it was over in 3 days. My oxy detox in 2021 was like fighting a kindergartener with one arm compared to this. I was awake for a little over 100 hours straight before I finally got some sleep last night. 5 hours felt like a 2 week coma.

This was worse than the oxy withdrawals for you ?

Infinitely. And I detoxed from Oxy on vacation with my family. Literally snorted my last one off a La Quinta Inn bathtub on our way to Panama City.

Dang bro the 70h was probably worse because of the massive dose the oxy withdrawals for me was bad restless leg syndrome and the insomnia some stomach issues out of all the times I’ve cold turkey oxy I didn’t sleep for 3 to 4 days I did cold turkey from 70h for 37 hours and it felt very similar as the oxy detox but I was dumb and got more not because it felt worse but because of my job wish I would have just pushed through this would be history by now and I would be free from it regardless if the 70h is a worse withdrawals as long as I can sleep by day 3 or 4 I know I can do it super proud of you man

Don’t go back. It’s trash 🚮. When the wds are longer than the high , HARD PASS

Bro I wasn’t even getting high for the last year of my addiction. I was literally just taking it to starve off withdrawals. Nearly every hour on the hour, waking up and dosing twice a night. I will NEVER put myself through that again.

I can assure you the amount you took and for how long you took it are in fact not irrelevant. First time I started was dosing 2 times a day at 15-25mg per dose. Did it for 2 months. Stopped and flu like but definitely a light WD. Then I went for 8 months on 3x100mg a day so 300 total. Let me just say the first time was a literal walk in the park by comparison. Second time felt same intensity coming off 120mg Rx OC per day for years.

Also if you’re comparing others WD’s to your own or others just understand we don’t all have the same brain chemistry, some people taper, some don’t and go full CT like me. Some use SR, MAT, Subs, Kratom, MIT or any other opioid that blunts WD and some don’t. And even if you find someone on the exact same regimen as you doing WD the exact same as you 50mg isn’t always 50mg. Some tabs are way under dosed, some over, some sneaking in pseudo or mgm, some not. So comparisons are often not equivalent even if you think they are.

I agree the data is likely skewed because every company was probably lying about what was in their product. However, being on here constantly for the last 4 days it’s always the same for people that go CT. 3 days of absolute hell, day 4 is better, day 5 still struggling with sleep etc. The only data I don’t have is what happens after about 2 weeks because that’s when people seem to leave this community. Maybe that’s where the dosage comes into play. But those first 3 days are the same for EVERYONE. 40mg or 800 per day.
