How do you cope with opioid withdrawal? Meds, THC, or something else?

Hey everyone,

I’m curious how you personally deal with opiate withdrawal symptoms. A lot of people mention trouble sleeping, restlessness, anxiety, and that general feeling of being wired but exhausted. I’m wondering whether you use any medications during that time or try to push through without anything.

I currently have access to a few things — Pregabalin/Gabapentin, Promethazine, one benzodiazepine (which I’d be very cautious with), plus some THC-infused honey and regular weed. I’m not asking what I should take; I’m just interested in how others have handled similar situations and what your individual experiences were, whether positive or negative.

How did you get through it, and what helped you manage the symptoms?

P.S.: Want to quit weed too.
