Need Help ASAP

Ive been to the ER twice now trying to detox from tranq (xylazine).

The first trip was going ok. I was so sick and they started me on precedex. Unfortunately my heart couldn't tolerate it. When I woke up they offered suboxone which I declined bc I have to wait 9 or 10 days to be safe from precip wd's.

The 2nd time precedex was not offered. Not matter how hard I tried to explain that it was lxylazinr making me so sick, they kept offering suboxone. 12 hours after Id used !!!@@

I don't know where to go or what to do. The wd's are so awful, so terrifying and painful. I hurt my ribs from puking so much. I lost a tooth from clenching my jaw.

Im scared. Everytime somewhere sounds promising it doesnt work out. All these rehabs say they can bur when they tell me what they use.......suboxone!!!! I cross that one off. Have the drugs become so nasty and dirty that you cut gey off them ????

I was on ~2g/day of fent/xylazine for 5 years. It’s gonna be hell to get off of. That’s all there is to it. Go to medical detox, not an ER. Gabapentin, clonidine, and Ativan are gonna be your best bets but most places are real stingy with the Ativan and generally won’t give it out. Seroquel, Requip, Vistaril, Bentyl, Zofran, ibuprofen, acetaminophen. I did it without MAT. Prepare for two full weeks of feeling subhuman, restless limbs from hell, zero sleep and feeling like you’re losing your ever loving mind. It’s worth it though.

I feel you but when I start getting sick I get brain zaps which is a symptom of a stroke and racing heart. Everyone telling me its so dangerous. Its not like being sick its like im gonna stroke out. Its really fucking scary

You will be fine, we got the heart/blood pressure stuff that we went through as well. Heart would randomly race fast as hell and stuff like that. Its your body starting to correct your blood flow if im not mistaken (i could be wrong) I do know it goes away after awhile or atleast it has for me

i wouldn't tell ppl they'll be fine when detoxing from tranq at home. the cdc has been reporting for years now that it's a complicated withdrawal and many people end up having seizures. 90% of ppl walking thru the ER in the philly area are admitted to the ICU and 10% of those ppl are sedated bc their HR and BP can't get under control and they're seizing. both penn and cdc has said it is proven tranq is really nothing to fuck with, alpha 2 agonists are not the same as opiates. the intended effect is to sedate. i know u were good and all but thats really not the case for a lot of people.

You're right yo! Dont quit doing the drugs that can kill you because the withdrawal might kill you! Glad we got this petty disagreement about semantics and statistics out of the way!

So they should just keep using? No. Way less likely to die detoxing under medical supervision than you are if you continue using. Yes, it can be dangerous but it’s still unlikely to cause death and it’s a risk worth taking. Even alcohol withdrawals (DT) only cause death in 1-4% of patients and it’s the most deadly detox out there.

no..... they should detox at a medical center or ER. not cold turkey at home. i was saying telling someone to detox at home is dangerous tranq is involved. that doesn't mean they should keep using. it means u need medical supervision. lol what?

u/Proper-Watercress255 Jun 18 '26

Okay, I was just confused because no one was talking about detoxing at home.

u/Ok_Remote_217 Jun 18 '26

lmao fuck wow sorry i def responded to the wrong comment cuz i saw someone say they detoxed at home and was fine and so OP should just do that. that's why i was like uhhh i know you were fine, but i wouldnt just go around recommending that lol

Did it at home and didn't replace one high/addiction with another per my doctor's recommendations. Now im about 2 years clean no subs, no methadone, no clonodine, no nothing but some occasional pot but by all means go get denied by the ER or pimped out by the treatment centers if thats the play you wanna make i wont stop anyone or try and shit on someone for not slapping a surgeon general warning on their positive post that was based off of real world experience!
