Not sure if anyone cares. But I have a crazy story im on day 5 detox and ive had no withdrawal symptoms. Im taking a GLP-1.
Confused about this particular withdraw.
Hello,
Im 43 and I've been battling this shit for 23 years. Ive taken the whole ride from hydros to the strongest fent u can find.
I was four and a half years clean until 2023 when I ended up in a coma from pneumonia. I was in a comae over 2 months and they pumped me full of s\*\*\* of course which I understand but there was no protocol for my release.
After that I started getting back into fentanyl obviously because I couldn't afford the pills and I got into that zylazine bullshit.
About 18 months ago I ran into a guy that was just starting to sling. I stuck with him as he worked his way up and got into distribution he was working with "pure" paste and making his own batches. So basically for the past year I've been using very strong fentanyl very clean tested with every test under the sun and it's got nothing else in it. I mean this shit turns clear when u light it and slowly turns tan until u char it. Beautiful shit. Makes my skin crawl thinking about it now
The exact type of fent analog I'm not sure about whether it's that new s\*\*\* or regular fentanyl or Su fentanyl or carfentanyl. I have no idea it doesn't matter that's not the point. I will say its killed 4 heavy users i know.
But I was smoking a half ounce a week. Way cheaper to buy it that way given I was buying from the main source.
All my other times in addiction I had never even gotten close to this I was buying a gram every couple days so this is the worst it's ever been for me as far as consumption amounts.
I've never been one to go to detox I've always cold detoxed myself. I detoxed myself when I got out of the hospital couldn't walk talk or move or do anything because I have been in a coma for 2 months and also had a tracheostomy. It was HELL.
Anyways, i started my detox this time about 5 days ago and I'm doing my normal protocol. I don't touch Suboxone for obvious reasons.
I'm taking about 300 mg of Gabapentin every 6 to 8 hours.
I'm taking a half a milligram of Xanax every 6 to 8 hours
I'm taking 0.1 mg of clonidine every 6 to 8 hours.
Beyond that the normal stuff like the antidiarrheal and nausea meds loads of vitamin C.
Hydrating making sure I'm moving around all that b\*\*\*\*\*\*\*.
This is day 6
By now I should be in f\*\*\*\*\*\* the thralls of withdrawal even with the meds.
For some reason I'm not I don't feel great but I am not in withdrawal.
There's only one factor of difference this time..
I started taking a GLP-1 tirzepitide about 2 months ago only because I was getting chubby from eating so much f\*\*\*\*\*\* junk food and laying in bed all day. And I wanted to lose a little bit of weight before I went through withdrawal.
I know that these meds work in weird ways and have shown to reduce cravings of all sorts . They also reduce visceral fat. I lost like 20 lbs in 6 weeks. I noticed I wasnt getting very high either.
About 3 weeks before I quit I started sneezing a lot. Which we all know is indication u are about to start withdrawing. I also was not getting high. The last two batches I bought he had switched to two different analogs and wanted me to try them out. Everyone else said they were strong the first batch I literally smoked an entire ball in one night and did not get high.
I know that fentanyl unlike most other opiates stores itself heavily your body fat. Which is Why it takes so long for you to be able to take suboxone because it has to clear your system and takes a lot longer than most other opiates.
I guess my point here is I don't know if anybody else has gone through this exact same scenario and been on tirzepitide at the same time.
I'll post again in a couple days and see if maybe it's just a stall detox that's going to come and hit me like a f\*\*\*\*\*\* train in a few days. But at this point I am confused.
And no, I have not slipped up and used and relapsed or whatever in the last 5 days . I wouldn't post all this b\*\*\*\*\*\*\* if I'd done that I'm genuinely confused.
Hopefully somebody has an idea of what might be going on.
My thought process is that my body was burning fat so fast because of the drugs that the fentanyl that was stored in that fat was dissolving or being burned by my system at a faster rate. Or that this particular peptide has some kind of interaction with the way that opiates work on the body, the only problem with that is I don't understand how it has anything to do with your opiate receptors. I'm just speculating at this point but I'm sitting here waiting like a felon on death row for the s\*\*\* to happen and then it's just not happening.
I got 9 hours of sleep last night and now I'm taking a class on linear algebra. Normally by this point I would be contemplating suicide and pawning my family's Fortune for a bag.
