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.

@candycane Im so sorry. Its truly evil. Im so sorry for you and them. I know people now gone as the opiode explosion of the 90s. People say you got yourself into it..so. Well yes true to a point. But ive NEVER known a severe addict that hasnt had some kind of trauma. This even applies to 90% of pharma addicts too. I wish you well as addiction can bring everthing tumbling down. 💙
