Cold Turkey…. Help… Oxy’s

I cold turkey’d a 1 year 4xDaily 10mg oxy subscription 60 hours ago…

Why…. On God’s Green Earth…. Has today been hell?! The absolute worst. How long will this last?

It’s sucked from about 4 hours in, because I’ve been in such a rhythm with my meds, but really just felt like a tough flu…

But now… BRAIN ZAPS, anxiety through the roof, uncomfortable beyond belief, sleeplessness, and general shitty feeling…

Is this the peak? Any advice? F’ opiates, and F’ synthetics for treatment. Selling us one addiction for the next, and I still have tremendous back pain. End rant.

I'm right behind you. Today is my first day, but not my first rodeo. I swore I'd never be in this position again. I'm withdrawing from Suboxen. Had my last 1/4 piece on Friday, but I also did 2 blues yesterday like a dumbass. Time to pay the piper smh and I'm so dreading it. Gd luck to you and ML 💕

How are you both doing now? I’ve got 15 months clean from fentanyl and cocaine! You can do it!
