Sweat Solution During WDs?!?!?

[duck]

Ok, my friends, I used the search engine extensively and came up with nothing.

I am closing in on a detox here on June 9. It's been about a 2-3 run on every opiate imagineable, some of the highlights including powder and tar heroin, lots of oxy, even more morphine, etc. and....to make it even better, shitloads of bupe.

So, I'm in for a ridiculously shitty kick. The last time I attempted kicking I made it about 2.5 weeks and then caved. I'm going to try to do it for real this time.

I have some hydro 7.5s, about 30 Tylenol 3's, about 100 muscle relaxers and some benzos, booze and marijuana.

However, one of the things that DROVE ME CRAZY the last time I kicked was the sweating. It got ridiculous, I could NOT go in public...I was effing soaked. I never sweat bad because I'm always high, so it really gets to me. It's really fucking embarassing trying to act like you're not sick as shit when your fucking drenched in sweat.

Are there any solutions out there other than RX'd antiperspirants? I'd really prefer to avoid that solution...but I'm open to suggestions. There are times when I have some meetings where I have to look presentable, and being drenched in sweat doesn't really help.

Get as many benzos as you can. Benzos will certainly help the sweating. Always did for me when I was kicking. In fact, up until yesterday I was covered in sweat. I had the same problems as you've descirbed here. I got some K-pins yesterday and once I took enough to sedate me I dried up. My hands also became warm and dry again, as opposed to cold and clammy (I hate that).

[duck]

If only I knew were to get a load of benzos. I usually hate them so I don't really know where to get them.....I used them sparingly during my last WD and they helped a ton.

I have a SUPER low tolerance though, .5mg of xanax can get me through the night.

Time to start calling...

Thanks man.

[EleusisII]

Sorry, I think that's pretty much your only choice. You know, besdes keeping a fan close, having the tep really low, outfits that you can change to quickly.

I'd let people know about it, btw... In a discrete way.

[duck]

maybe I will just run away to a beach and swim (weird to use swim in that context on here) in the ocean and hope I get eaten by a shark.

[Restharrow]

I sent you a VM because so many people have made fun of me IRL for suggesting Loperimide. Good luck with it. Its a good move at your age to get free of this so you can evaluate what you want to do with yourself.

Thanks will....I had forgotten about lop. during WD....I'll give it a shot.

Its a good move at your age to get free of this so you can evaluate what you want to do with yourself.You're exactly right and that is the #1 reason I'm quiting. I'll have moments of clarity when I realize just how destructive this stuff is in my view of the world and the way I live my life. I have totally lost touch with ambition and even love. My use has really hollowed me out and I need to reevaluate. I'm not sure my life is going to better without dope, but I'm going to give it a while, about a year, and then see if I want to go back to dope.

One of my best friends, who is a few years older than me, is like my mentor. I look up to him very much, he's such a great guy. He was hooked on dope for about 5 years from 18-23, IV only. He made this same agreement with himself a couple years ago, give it 1 year and see if you want to go back. He never did and has given me some incredibly insightful advice on the merits of life without dope.

I'm a bit more cynical and naturally unhappy than this guy, though, so dope may be for me. I'll see here in a year or so.

After the first 4 weeks of my kick I'm leaving for Europe for 5 weeks and not taking anything...so I'm going to be doing this kick whether I like it or not.

On sweating, yeah, there isn't a whole lot you can do but I've found it helps to stay as hydrated as possible, not only will it help "flush" out your system, but being fully/properly hydrated helps regulate body temperature..

[duck]

thanks chopstix....I'll work on that. I need to be more hydrated than I am anyways.

I'm wondering if I go do some rigorous exercise in the morning if it will help dry up the well. Exercising during WD is one of the only things that makes me happy anyways.

[Morfiend]

if you can't get benzos, order some Phenibut from amazon or something. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

[EleusisII]

Just let it be known where you work, that you have a minor medical issue (mono or cold pneumonia, for example, if you want to go into details) which means you might sweat excessively for a couple of weeks. Better than letting people wonder IMHO

It would probably just nibble at you. Leaving you bloody and feeling even worse.

[chopstix]

Depends on where you are. Duck, bring your baby sea lion costume (I'd say surfboard, but it's not the greatest break) out to Ano Nuevo in the fall for Darwin fest '09..

The (15'+) whites have so much fun, they sometimes manage to get completely out of the water on some hits...

A bit graphic but I know someone who witnessed a hit down in Marina a bit north of Monterey, shark came half out of the water with the seal in it's jaws, and clamped down in the air, he said the seal didn't so much sever as it did "pop."

Clonodine helps sweating a ton, along with a lot of other W/D symptoms. Give it a try if you can. Good luck bro, hang in there and tough this out, it will all be worth it in the end.

[duck]

how does one go about getting clonidine?

[Deadfiend]

Just a little piece of info kind about methadone, It will make you sweat more there any pain med out this, you really need to stay hydrated on that shit when your using it just for fun of if your just starting on MMT.
Just something to think about.
Have you tried one of a deodorant body spray, like ace, tag, ect. One of them might work for you....

[Saint]

how does one go about getting clonidine?

My question exactly. I tried to get it once, in Spain, during severe withdrawals and all the doc said was: ''no way, very unhealthy, just take some ibuprofen. Withdrawals are nothing more than a bad case of the flue anyway'' (Argh!! Visions of me strangling a man in a white coat popped up in my head).
So, no way they'll give you clonidine for wd's in Europe.
I do get propanolol against high bloodpressure which seems to help some with the sweating and anxiety.

Anyway, what I merely wanted to say to you is: good luck. I know sweating can be a nightmare, especially if you have to work, and benzo's do help.
Happy to hear you have a mentor/friend to help you through the rough spots.
Good luck and try to hang in there!

Blood pressure med, really easy to get for opi wd - anything more than like .5mg will make you feel like lead though, I can take half a mg and function, but anymore, and I'm horizontal for a few hrs..

Tell a doc you're coming off scripted vicodin or something, and heard that it helps.. Most notorious "kick pack" docs will write for the shit and a few benzos no problem, if you know any H junkies, ask them the best docs to go to..

[duck]

word well I am coming off a script of several hundred hydro 7.5 that were legitimately scripted to me, and the doc already warned of withdrawals....so I'll just ask him.

[Raz]

av a shower ya dirty cunt, find a chica whose just as dirty, or by a cabrio motor....dey all worked for me....;)

Sorry bro, my head is a bit preoccupied at da mo....

[Raisin]

If I grow up I wanna be a dirty old man just like you Raz. If you have clonidine benzos loperamide and some weed kicking should be do able with a lot less stress. When I'm kicking and I go through the sweats I don't really sweat profusely but I get dehydrated and the toxins coming out of me smell like they're concentrated. I stink like a rotten italian sub. Drinking lots of water helped. Just try to remind yourself why you're doing it and try to be conscious of what a mind fuck it can be. Good luck.

[youwonhundred]

Speaking from personal experience, as was mentioned previously in this thread, take a fuckload of loperamide. It won't get you high, but it will help.
