Imo that's a tuff debate, as I'm a recovering test probe from opiates, years back I was prescribed to opiates then it became a addiction and now after 7 years of being on another prescribed drug to get off opiates all they did was give me another type of them, now 7 yrs in to these dang things they have yet to stop anything, they literally traded on opiate in for another that was stronger and was supposed to be able to quite all opiates after a year of these and it's 7-8 yrs later still have to take them, just now in last 3 months they are pushing cbd hard on me to get off the crap they gave me in the first place to get off the crap they gave me before. If this makes sense.[/QUOMy ex and 2 TE]
Know where you are coming from, bro! Went through 6 years of increasing opiate use to the point I was taking 5-6 4mg tabs of Dilaudid[hydromorphone] every 4 hours. Ended up almost dying from dehydration and cardiac problems when my prescribing doctor lost his license to prescribe narcotics. No other doctor would help me and if I hadn't gotten to the ER I would have died right there in my bed. Luckily I got hooked up with some good and understanding docs at the U hospital that helped me taper off. It took a year but I have been off since January and feel no need to take them now. Unfortunately, it also cost me the life of one of my sons who was stealing my meds and money and shooting them up.......he ended up dying in his room from a cardiac infection from using dirty needles. I will never forgive myself for being too wrapped up in my own problems to see what was going on. My ex and his 2 sisters have never forgiven and haven't spoken to me since. Use your MJ and try and find a doc to help you taper off......one thing I did, being a medical professional[ex critical care nurse]was to refuse to trade one addiction for another. Good luck and if I can help in any way, please PM me.
