Question by girlwithoutaplanet: University student with opiate problem, how do I quit?
HI! I am a straight A student with a moderate opiate problem (have been using for 4 months, on and off), when I try to stop I can deal with the mild physical symptoms, like aches and diarrhea (as my addiction is not severe), but the fatigue is so bad that I am pretty much catatonic during the day, so that makes me want to use just so that I can do my homework, study, etc. What can I do, I haven’t been able to stop for more than three days? Oh and coffee helps, but it gives me severe anxiety if I drink too much (since that too is a symptom of withdrawal and is exacerbated when I drink coffee). Any suggestions?

I was thinking of quiting during the reading week in February, will 7 days be enough? Again, any remedies for energy depletion?    Read more...
