do you withdrawal off withdrawal meds?

[907baby]

okay so Ive been off fentanyl for a week and percocet for three days. a doc gave me librium and clonidine which are working fantastic, except that I cant work on the librium so i had to take a couple days off. anyway since I started taking the drugs the day after my last fix, I havnt felt a single withdrawal symptom, except diarea.  So my question is are these drug just masking the symptoms and when they're out and I gonna withdrawal again for them?

well i am glad u r doing ok..sounds like u have it together..keep moving forward and good luck to u

yeah my moms administering the librium since it can be abusing. but to answer your question ive been abusing fentanyl patches for about two years. its a horrible drug thats practically heroin. ive almost died twice from ODing so I do consider myself extremely lucky that I found the strength to get off it.

[worried878]

oh...librium is a weaker benzo..but it is habitforming./.take it as prescribed and for a short time only..the clonidine is not habit forming but if u r on it for a while they say taper down and then quit that as well

[worried878]

yey...how long were u on the patch?...i would count myself lucky...and move forward

The librium and clonidine are to help you not feel the symptoms (or feel less of them) of w/d.  They don't delay w/d if that's what you are asking.  The diarrhea is a sign that your body is experiencing w/d.  Be thankful the librium and clonidine are working so well.  You can take immodium for the runs on top of the other two meds.
