what drug has the worst withdrawel?


This may seem like a stupid question, but which drug has the worst w/d?

I hear methadone and ultram are the worst from what Ive read here.

Currently Im addicted to morphine and Fentanyl. I have a taper schedule ready, now I just need to get _me_ ready..

Also I hear Soma is addicting.. well thats another favorite of mine.. but Ive never had w/d from it, and Ive been up to 12-20 a day (4 at a time). When I run out, thats it.  It does have a tolerance though, used to be 1 or 2 would get me messed, now I take 4 and not really feel a thing.

Also, my worst experiences were with Soma.. woke up twice in jail because of it.

Every day I read this forum and every day I get closer to quiting. Keep posting everyone! It really helps.

  I understand what you are going through,  I have been on and  off opiates for 16 years and am now back on them for a serious back injury.  I run out,  I cry,  the depression from it is unbearable.  As unbearable as the addiction.  I quit for awhile to,  cold turkey and stayed clean for two years but it came back when I got hurt.  No surgeon will operate on me,  the bones in my spine are calcified, I have bone spurs, two compressed discs and Severe Disc Degenerative Desease and the reason they wont do surgery is because I could get worse or the bones could shatter.  I don't know about that one,  atleast I can still walk but only when I am pumped full of painkillers. Otherwise I walk like a 80 year old and I am only 48.There have been times I have felt suiciadal over it but God keeps me hanging on and for what reason I really don't know.  You keep your head up,  it's people like you that are helping me.  Thanks.

You might not have noticed but this is an old thread. Also if you were to read the many new 'threads', you would see that Tramadol is highly addictive and I have read that the w/d's from that are as bad if not worse than any opiate. Do yourself a favor, choose life over the evil that is pills. If we can do it..no doubt you can too. If you want help, start a new thread.

My vote goes to Methadone for the pain factor and the how long it takes before you feel better factor.  My 2nd vote goes to the other big boy on the block nowadays BARS. Xanax w/d ***** just as much but for diffrent reasons. You get the shakes, convulsions in the worst cases. you dont sleep for at least ten days and your heart beats so hard it actually makes your whole body move along with the beats. I know this because I got thrown in jail for ten days while on a meth program at 135mg/day plus taking 5 xanax bars daily. So i went cold turkey from that. Didnt sleep a wink for the ten days. I could tell the meth was bad because I didnt even start withdrawing bad till day 3. The xanax had me dyin the first 3 days. Then they mixed sort of. I actually became quite mentally f-ed up after about 8 days. I started having these waking dreams that they were letting me go to starbucks to get coffee. :) So I was delusional to the fullest. Don't recomend it.
