So I guess every guy goes through a midlife crisis of some sort. Maybe they buy a new flashy car, start a business, sleep around, whatever.
Mine was particularly stupid - I fooled around with fentanyl (smoked not shot). I was seeing a girl that did it and thought, "why not try it?" I've always socially taken all kinds of drugs and never gotten hooked in any sense. The only one I found that could hook me was percs/oxys (liked enough to use everyday) - so I was (foolishly) not super worried about getting hooked.
Now fent does "kinda" feel like percs...sorta. In my case, it made me more nauseous than any thing. I ended up getting 5 grams of a more powerful batch (30% fent, where the normal street dope is less than 10) and that's the batch that hooked me.
Now when I say hooked, what I mean is physically. Once the batch was done, about 72 hours later, I felt a super odd feeling come over me (I had been irritable all day). I don't know if anyone here has actually felt serious withdrawal, but unless you go through it, reading up on it will never do it justice.
In addition to the fent withdrawal, I was also likely in benzo withdrawal (they mix those in), so I was getting blasted pretty hard.
I could not get comfortable, I had to keep walking for hours, I was flooded with anxiety and my brain would not relax, I couldn't sleep (the worst) without anti psychotics, I couldn't eat, I would puke randomly, I felt like every inch of my skin was super sensitive, I would take 3 hour showers (some relief), I had super smelling (this one is weird), etc.
Took about 2 weeks of that shit before I went back to semi normal. Felt like it would never end and ya, I was tempted to just use again to end it.
Before anyone asks, I did that detox cold turkey (minus the sleep aids) and handled it like a champ. No interest in doing that again.
On the one hand, I kinda feel a little more empathy for the folks hooked on this shit. On the other, I quit cold turkey and made it, people can certainly kick it on Suboxone/etc. No excuses.
It's interesting though...even though I don't like fent and will never allow myself to go into withdrawal again, I still get that thought in my head (I could smoke just a little and be fine). Scary shit.
Anyway, dumb thing to try in your 40s. Anyone actually ever go through withdrawal? I hear alcohol can be worse in some ways.
