Definitely taper off that stuff. I've tapered off several different pain meds. Sometimes when I get close to the end I'll substitute another different pain med that's easier to withdraw from. Don't feel alone, I'm at the end of a MS Contin and Norco taper. I've found the main thing for me is to just keep thinking how good you'll feel when it's all over. GL

Wrap yourself in a warm blanket from a dryer, which you can toss back in the dryer when you sweat all over it. A spare pillow can be a good idea too so when you are trying to get some rest and you sweat all over one pillow to where it is drenched and then near freezing because the sweat gets cold and you start shivering, then just grab the other pillow. For some a heated blanket can be a soothing sensation while you detox. Heat makes the effects of opiates stronger. I've even sat in front of a fire place and did a lot of sweating while trying to detox, then a warm shower or bath. Don't nod off in front of a fireplace or in the tub. Maybe even sitting near a heater will help you sweat it out. Remember to drink fluids. After that try to relax with a warm blanket from a dryer or even a heated blanket. I preferred the blanket from a dryer. Heated blankets just made me sweat more. One of the best feelings when I was trying to detox was when someone else brought me a warm blanket. Was one of my sisters ex boyfriend, I mostly hated him. But it showed me someone cared, and the warm blanket even felt like an extension of someone else caring. Kind of that warm hug feeling. The worst for me was when I was getting a rush marching around the house like a mad man, I couldn't calm down or sit still, and everything I would normally do was stimulation over load, including cannabis. This was all when I was running out, it wasn't the pain med's or other things I was into that caused all the weird stuff, it was the lack of the drugs when things got real bad. I was also cutting at the time. I don't want you to pick up any new bad behavior because of something I tell you. For me cutting was the same idea as how some people are into body suspension, where they get hooks put in their back and get raised off the floor, either just hang their or have other people swing them and the such while suspended. For me it was self harm, cutting, burns. tattooing, pain med's and so on. I would cut then lick the blood from a blade, rub blood on my face, on my door and then claim it was war paint and tell everyone to back off and don't fuck with me. For me cutting released endorphins. If you read what exactly endorphins are they are Endogenous Morphine, a opioid neuropeptide in he brain. Basically Morphine that is already in the body. Just like how heroin users go in to clinics for methadon treatment, and they take benzodiazepine's (benzo's) before they get their dose. I was doing this too. Benzodiazepines being anxiety meds such as Xanax, Klonopin, Ativan, and so on. I even tested positive for opiates while I was in the hospital and I hadn't smoked anything or taken any pain med's in days. But I was cutting daily and getting really into it. I fucked up when I was in that low place and made the mistake to ask a family member what an over dose for a cutter would be. One of those Klonopin got crushed and made its way up my nose one day, but it was a bit obvious what I was up to when this blue goo was dripping out my nose as I was telling everyone how great I was feeling. I've been a user of anabolic steroids too, and it wasn't till years later when I was researching endorphins that I discovered steroids release endorphins too. Many things do, which in my opinion is likely why the stimulation over load I was going through, even fap fap fap was too much to handle and I would flip out when things were real bad. Something about having someone else drive me around in a car was also soothing, maybe car sickness that helped, not sure really but the sensation of driving while passenger was nice. You wouldn't believe how euphoric, high the people in these video's really are, just from hanging. I've seen some people nodding off just from a body suspension. Take the scenery of the second video for example. At times it can be ironic when someone being suspended says something like, are you sure it will hold me? I don't want to fall on the rocks below and get hurt.

I've also been tortured before and I think it really pissed some people off when I was laughing through the whole thing and not passing out or anything. I stonewalled them. There was only one person I wanted to talk to about something and I wasn't giving anything up to anyone else.

No, none of these things. The reason I was tortured was much more simple than a war or a cartel, even a family reunion.
But someone always has to be the hero. Even when it was entirely innocent on my end. I did nothing wrong.
They wanted me to talk. But they were asking the wrong questions, the wrong ways, and the people there were all no body I cared to talk to.
Now I don't particularly care to attempt telling anyone what I wanted to or any other details that could help with anything else. Kind of like don't shoot the messenger. Next time the messenger won't show anyone the message, even if the messenger is on the same side and simply providing a head's up or warning.
Taking cadaver parts and trying to make me think they were removing things from me. Moving me to a bunch of different rooms to disorient me, after I was drugged. Sending in multiple people and they all introduced themselves to me as if I could remember a single one of them, oddly I do. This was all done during the "interview". But even all of these things was not the torture. Getting reamed in the nose with a pencil till they stuck it in and I broke that shit off when I jerked my head to the left as I said fuck you! That was torture. Other than laughing every time they tried to hurt me I'm not too sure what else I could have done beside jerk my head to the side and snap it off. I was drugged being held down and tortured. Jerking my head was about the only motion I could have made. After snapping it off the person was shocked and just stood there holding the other end of the pencil. So I then proceeded to use my finger and push the broken half in farther as to hold onto the evidence. This was done because I said I would write about it. I asked twice why are you doing this to me and I was told "That is a loaded question.". Later I was told because you like to write so much, hence the use of a pencil.

Fentanyl is a shorter but more intense kick than other opioids. Stay hydrated, if you can't seek medical attention. The worst should be done in 48-72 hours. Immodium will help with some of the body symptoms, I'd suggest 12 as a starting dose. It's an opioid that doesn't really cross into the brain so it will eliminate the GI symptoms at the right dose. How many patches a day were you going through?
I hear high doses of bupe (16mg+) can hold you, you'd be advised to taper down ASAP because high dose bupe sucks for maintenance.
Benzos can help take the edge off a bit but can also open a whole new can of worms.
Zofran is a godsend. Get the oral dissolving tablets so you can just hold it on your tongue for a minute and let it absorb rather than needing to have a pill stay in your stomach. It's rx but it isn't hard to get a dr to write for them. Complain of food poisoning. If you have a good relationship with your physician they'll just cal it in for you.
I know you said smoking isn't helping but is that just flowers? You're pretty much trading your ability to get stoned for a less difficult withdrawal but enough dabs will eventually start to help.

I thought i had it bad. I didnt. I wish i could attribute my last little withdrawal fling with my iron willpower and levelheadedness. The guy here pointed out something. Wwhen the back pain got fearce, the cravings dissapeared.

Hmmm.

Some other things that have helped me recover in the past are anti-histamines such as benadryl. I liked the sleepy effect it gave me which helped with the cravings for a euphoric effect, and it would help me sleep. Anti-histamines also have an effect on receptors to re upgrade them. Biotin also helped. Mostly helped me with getting some good sleep. I gave some to a family member and they said they had nightmares. For me it was good deep sleep. Even things such as Aspirin, Advil, Aleve, Motrin, Tylenol, Tylenol PM if you want to add more to that sleepy, or other OTC pain med's have helped me in the past, specifically Fever reducer pain reliever. That fever reducer aspect always seemed to help me with the sweats so I could sleep better with less disturbance.

I don't know. I was high as it was from whatever they drugged me with, they said it was Haldol. I even told them not to give it to me but they did it anyway.
I don't believe that was even what they actually gave me. I was seeing shit like there was a clothes hamper, not really a hamper, but a rack with a clear plastic bag to hold clothes, hospital gowns and what not. There was a pair of socks in there, I think anyway. At one point I could see he socks fighting each other, like a sock fight, if someone was to put a sock over each of their arms and wrestle the socks. hahaha, I faked a stroke to get their in the first place. No one would take me to any other place that I saw as being authorities. So I devised a plan to force someone to drive me. I was staying out of town at someone else house. Didn't have a car there and no one was going to just give me their keys. I was told the guy giving the interview was a specialist that had to drive a couple hours or so to get there. Everything was so blurry and confusing I couldn't even make out what he looked like, I don't even recall what all answers I was giving him. I remember telling him my uncle is Sam and his favorite food is green eggs and ham, and that If I knew anything I wouldn't tell him anyway. There was a bunch of other bs things I said too.
