I am a 22 year old female. I have been using for the past 5 years. I planned for this detox a month in advance. Went across the state and staying with a friend who is clean and sober. My last detox was hell, I mean HELL. I wasnt nearly as bad than as I am now. The weird thing is I dont really have any WDs this time around of course I dont get perscribed 120 bars amonth so that is helping alot. I take my vitamens and hydrate myseld but other than sleeplessness I have no withdrawals. Im scared they will hit me a week later. I am going in head stronge. I a moving in 2 months to te boonies and need to be off this sh*t. I just am terrified it will hit me when I go back to work next week.
HELP HELP HELP
anyone know whats going on with me?
Much love,
-Sky

Hi Sky! Congrats on making the decision to get clean. I've been down that road a few times, so I know what you are going through. Question- what are you detoxing from? Is it just opiates, cocaine, or a combo of both? This makes a difference. While opiate withdrawal usually starts pretty quick, it can take a few days to set in, and depending on your use, it can take a few weeks. I have gone through opiate withdrawal alone, but also from cocaine at the same time. This gives you the sleeplessness, severe depression, etc. I thought that I was free an clear from the opiate withdrawal, because after a few days I felt ok, not wonderful, but not a bit dope-sick. I felt fine for about 2 days after, then all of a sudden, in the middle of breakfast, it hit me, HARD. It was about 6-8 days after quitting everything cold turkey, and the opiates hit. I know now that because I was also detoxing from an upper, cocaine, that my body was still going through those effects. Once the uppers were completely out of my system, then the opiate withdrawal set in. Opiate withdrawal can also be delayed, it's not common but it does happen, then it's like you got hit by a train. If you are going through opiate withdrawal, I STRONGLY recommend Suboxone. It is not a replacement drug like methadone, but an opiate-blocker which fills the opiate receptors in your brain preventing opiate absorption, which also completely illuminates all withdrawal symptoms and cravings. It has been widely used since the 70's, with no long term adverse effects. Most Yates offer programs which provide treatment at no cost. It allows you to reclaim your life without having to take any time off. The best part is that it almost completely eliminates your chance of relapse, because it prevents you from feeling the effects of an opiate. It has a 24 hour half life meaning you only take one dose per day and feel fine. Another plus is that unlike methadone, you get your prescriptions at the pharmacy instead of having to go in once or twice a day to be dosed. Hope this helps! If you are not dealing with opiates, let me know, because I've probably been through it! Good luck!
Can't give you advice, but just wanted to say a big WELL DONE and keep going!!
Stay strong and keep looking towards the future~ you have all my best wishes & love.
