If you know this then great. But, most dont.

With "most" addictive drugs. Street drugs or otherwise. Coming off of them if long term used needs a strategy. I will give a example using methadone. A drug i was hooked on and is about quite literally 10 times harder than heroin to get off of. In one hand it saves you from street heroin. On the other the eventual battle is 10 fold. Lots of people addicted to any drug and reduce hit a wall at lower doses. If this is you then i will tell you exactly why that is. So if im on 50ml of methadone and drop 5ml. Yep easy ive dropped 10%. You.ll feel it. But its doable. If you keep dropping 5ml that percentage rises with every drop in a dose. This goes for most drugs. So those sat at home dosed up on codiene morphine etc etc need not look down on street addicts. Because it equates to the same in reality. Try dropping 5ml from the wall of 20ml down. Theres now a 25% drop as apposed to the 10% when you were at 50ml. So, this post doesnt just relate to methadone. It is a reality with all painful addictive drugs. Come down in percentages and realise the reality of the above just to make it a tad easier. Im not talking about patients who need drugs to stay alive. Im talking about becoming addicted and wanting to withdraw from a drug that you have now had it with.

I once chatted with a lad that was a heroin addict. He got clean after a few of his friends died in quick succession, he reckons it was on purpose. He still smoked, he told me nicotine was far harder to come off that heroin.

@TheDeathOCuHullainn Absolutely correct. Nicotine is WAY harder but more mentally. Physically nothing like heroin. The very worst and most dangerous drugs out there to detox from are benzos and alcohol. If you jump from either of those too quickly you really do risk seizures and your life.
@Perry1968 That is how Amy Winehouse went I think, cold turkey after alcohol

@TheDeathOCuHullainn Yes that. Or her tolerance had dropped and she was poisoned by the intake her body just wasnt used to anymore. Im not 100% sure. But aweful bless her.
I have a friend in Norcal that got addicted to oxicodone after his colon burst from cancer and eventual sepsis he barely survived from, it took him two years to wean off with suboxone.
