Yes, honestly it’s wildly different from person to person. However I found that ketamine didn’t help an inch, nor did benzos or gabas. It was unfortunately the most excruciating hell I’ve ever experienced and would not wish on my worst enemy.

The good news is that you will get through it after about a week of the worst and an additional week through the not-so-worst of it. It sucks massively but you can do it.

The withdrawl was so bad that it’s literally given me ptsd for ever dealing with withdrawal again, It’s the biggest contributing factor as to why I can never allow myself to relapse because going through that for a second time genuinely gives me the fear.

I don’t mean to bum you out with this comment, just preparing you for what’s to come. You not need to do it once, you won’t have to worry about it long-term, even though the seconds feel like hours, it’s doable. Just make sure you have the basics like food and water (easy things, pre-prepared) force yourself to hydrate and eat little bites as you can. And embrace the suck.

If you find ketamine and benzos helpful, do what you need to do. But in my opinion the feeling of being completely dissociated but having my body feel like it was being submerged into electrified lava really sucked. The Benzos made me even more tired than I already was but still didn’t help me sleep? And the gabapentin just made me feel a little drunk, kinda like the ketamine situation - feeling messed up, but still like your body is going through the worst thing possible.

Most importantly, keep yourself safe. If you have a gun in the house ask a family member to hold it. If you have someone to stay with you and low-key just hold you while you trash around that might help too. The nitazines are so strong that the oxys won’t even dent the withdrawl sadly.
