- What is Harm Reduction?
- Harm Reduction refers to policies, programs and practices which aim to reduce the negative health, social and economic consequences that may result from the use of both legal and illegal drugs, without necessarily reducing drug use. The cornerstones of Harm Reduction are public health, human rights and social justice.
- Drug overdose is one of the leading causes of accidental death in the United States.
- According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), overdose rates have increased roughly five-fold since 1990. The CDC attributes the rise in drug overdose deaths to a higher use of prescription painkillers and increasing numbers of overdoses of cocaine and prescription sedatives. In 2015, the most recent year for which data is available, the CDC reports 52,404 drug overdose deaths, 33,091 (or 63%) of these deaths were attributed to opioids, in the United States
- There is no such thing as a stupid or silly question when it comes to HARM REDUCTION. Please do not be afraid to ask. It could save your life, or the life of one you care for

- Was thinking of something useful to post here
- Quitting a drug cold turkey
- We all fuck up and take drugs we probably shouldn't sometimes, and a few of us develop substance addiction problems and, if you're lucky, you decide to quit.
- Before you start flushing all your benzos down the toilet you need to research if cold turkeying the drug your on can cause adverse affects, and if it would instead be better to wean yourself off.
- I'm going to discuss reasons and how to detox on each of the ones below, obviously I am not accountable and encourage you to do your own research.
- Heroin
- Prescription Painkillers
- Prescription sedatives and tranquilizers
- Alcohol
- Each of these has the option of a
- medical detox
- which serves as a way to wean yourself off with substitute medication. My advice for this is to always see a health care professional, no matter how much X wonder drug is so easy to use and will definitely ween you off, you may have tolerances and problems with your own body you can't forsee.
- Here are some of the side effects of each of these withdrawals, and what to expect from them.
- ALCOHOL
- Alcohol is perhaps one of the most dangerous addictive substances to stop cold turkey once a dependence has formed. Half of those who battle alcohol addiction will experience withdrawal symptoms, and 3-5 percent will suffer from the most severe and potentially life-threatening form of withdrawal, delirium tremens (DTs), the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) publishes. Delirium tremens is extremely dangerous, as it may not develop until a few days after stopping drinking, while other withdrawal symptoms typically begin within eight or so hours after the last drink. Side effects of DTs include hallucinations, extreme confusion, fever, and potentially fatal seizures.
- Alcohol acts on the neurotransmitter GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) in the brain, increasing its presence. GABA is a kind of natural tranquilizer that dampens the stress response, reducing anxiety and slowing down respiration and pulse, lowering body temperature, and depressing blood pressure, helping people to feel relaxed and mellow. Alcohol also increases the presence of dopamine, which is what accounts for the feelings of pleasure while intoxicated and the low moods when it processes out of the bloodstream. When alcohol wears off, the brain’s response can be to spring back, like a rubber band, causing the drastic side effects. Hence, alcohol withdrawal is a side effect of the overactivity of the autonomic nervous system.
- Additional side effects of alcohol withdrawal include:
- Increased heart rate
- Hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Sweating and heightened body temperature
- Tremors
- Headache
- Body aches
- Fatigue
- Insomnia
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Nausea, abdominal cramps, and vomiting
- Dizziness
- Shallow breathing
- Trouble focusing and concentrating
- Short-term memory loss
- Sensitivity to sound and light
- Irritability
- Disorientation
- Agitation
- Alcohol withdrawal symptoms can range in severity. Since they can be dangerous when alcohol use is stopped suddenly, inpatient detox services, like those provided by a medical detox program, are considered the best option, according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA). During medical detox, alcohol is often replaced with another central nervous system depressant (like a benzodiazepine, for instance). Clients are then slowly tapered off that medication. Other medications are often used as well to aid in the control of cravings and specific withdrawal symptoms.
- BENZOS
- Benzodiazepines are another class of drugs that, like alcohol, work on GABA levels in the brain. These drugs are typically prescription sedatives and tranquilizers that serve to reduce anxiety, manage seizure disorders, and act as sleep aids. Benzodiazepine drugs include:
- Xanax (alprazolam)
- Valium (diazepam)
- Klonopin (clonazepam)
- Ativan (lorazepam)
- Benzodiazepines, or benzos for short, can be quickly habit-forming, even when used under medical direction and exactly as prescribed, the FDA warns. When these drugs are discontinued, withdrawal can be similar to that of alcohol withdrawal, and rebound anxiety, insomnia, and even possible seizures can occur. These side effects can range greatly, just as with alcohol, and they can be potentially dangerous. They are therefore best managed with medical detox to avoid any possible medical or mental health complications.
- Other prescription drugs for insomnia that are similar in mechanism to benzodiazepines, but chemically different, are nonbenzodiazepine sleep aids or z-drugs. These drugs include Ambien (zolpidem), Lunesta (eszopiclone), and Sonata (zaleplon). They may have less severe withdrawal symptoms than traditional benzos, per the Journal of Medical Toxicology; however, it is also not recommended to stop taking them cold turkey. Instead, they are typically tapered off slowly.

- benzos are bad, ween your self off of them.
- Balin04/02/2019
- A typical Benzo ween will be anywhere from 0.5mg-1mg a week reduce in daily dosage down to 1-0.5mg amounts. Please consult a healthcare professional about this, seizures don't fuck around.
- OPIOIDS
- Opioid drugs include both the street and illicit drug heroin and prescription narcotic pain relievers, like OxyContin, Vicodin, Percocet, morphine, codeine, fentanyl, and more. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) places warnings in the drug prescribing information on drugs such as OxyContin, for example, indicating that these drugs should not be stopped suddenly after taking them for a period of time and instead should be tapered off slowly. These drugs fill opioid receptors in the brain and along the central nervous system, blocking pain sensations and also elevating mood.
- Withdrawal symptoms from an opioid drug typically begin within about 12 hours after stopping use, the National Library of Medicine (NLM) reports. Withdrawal can include both physical and emotional symptoms, such as:
- Insomnia
- Chills and goosebumps
- Irregular heart rate
- Trouble breathing
- Concentration and memory issues
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Irritability
- Restlessness
- Fatigue
- Muscle aches
- Suppressed appetite and weight loss
- Bone pain
- Nausea and vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Tearing up
- Runny nose
- Inability to feel pleasure
- Dilated pupils
- Sweating
- Yawning
- Increased blood pressure
- The American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) publishes that around 2.5 million Americans suffered from opioid drug addiction in 2014. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) reports that a combination of medications and therapies is ideal when treating opioid addiction.
- Opioid dependence is managed by slowly lowering the dosage of an opioid drug over a set period of time during detox or by replacing shorter-acting opioids with longer-acting ones or partial opioid agonists. Methadone is considered a long-acting opioid drug that is often used to slowly reduce opioid dosages over time in order to control the more intense withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Buprenorphine is another long-acting opioid that is also only a partial agonist, meaning that while it still fills opioid receptors in the brain, it does so to a lesser extent than full agonists do. This makes it particularly helpful during withdrawal and medical detox, as it can be used to taper safely off an opioid drug.
- Opioid withdrawal is often physically similar to the flu. It can also be emotionally difficult, which is why these drugs are often tapered off slowly instead of stopped suddenly. Opioid withdrawal symptoms can be effectively managed with medications during medical detox.
- For Opioids, I highly recommend Kratom, but it is important to meet with someone who has a good understanding of your body before making a decision like this.
- If you are looking to quit any of these, please message me or @ me and we can have a discussion of the dangers.
- And contact me anytime for harm reduction or drug questions in general

- Precautions for using Benzodiazepines: benzos are good at one thing and that’s anxiety/relaxation, this is what they are meant for. Benzodiazepines should not be abused but if you do intend to use/abuse them there’s a few things you can do to reduce possibility of harm.
- Research the specific benzo you’re planning to use and the dosage it’s used at: using a higher dose of benzos won’t get you any more high up to a certain point. Taking a ridiculous dose just increases risk of side effects.
- Don’t mix with other drugs: benzos should not be mixed with other drugs, especially depressants and ESPECIALLY not alcohol. It’s very easy to overdose when you mix benzos with other drugs.
- Do not do something that requires extreme focus: you shouldn’t operate a vehicle while under the influence of benzos.
- Be with somebody else/ have a sitter: it’s very easy to black out with benzos, you take too much and start forgetting stuff, this can lead to taking more doing seriously stupid shit that you don’t want to do.
- I don’t recommend abusing or even using benzos unless you really need them and get them from a doctor. But if you are going to use them make sure to watch your shit.
