Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71407025 you may be scared, but scared is not weakness Thanks man. Yes, I am very scared, esp when people are saying "It'll be six months before you feel normal again" - It's like MAN UP AND DO IT - Yet, the people at this detox place seemed like a revolving door to these people on SSI (If you have Medicaid/Medicare... instantly taken into the 30 day program) - Even the Detox - they pass out the same medicine I'm trying to come off of to the opiate addicts... so these dual diagnosed people, hear a cold front is coming, and fill up the detox - because, they get 3 hot meals for 5 days... and I don't want to be a revolving door like so many of the others, I NEED TO DETOX AND GO STRAIGHT INTO A SAFE, SECURE, LOCATION This place is not God based, it gets funding from the State. So it's basically a 12-step place with focus on therapy, exercise, and nutrition. there is a saying in the benzo world of recovery, i believe it fits to oppies also. windows and waves.... either you are looking out the window or riding a wave. it may be a couple of years, and one day you will be fine like six minths down the road, then BAM, shit goes upside down for a week. understanding it will pass and decrease over time IS your recovery, YOUR TRUE RECOVERY. supplimenting properly through this time is critical imho. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 70804826 United States 02/06/2016 04:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Jack, I feel your pain!!! I was hooked on blues for 10 years - started subs in 2010 .. knew they were just as bad and planned for a quick exit. that never happened but by 2012 had tampered to 2mgs - that's when I went cold (everything, not even beer). Yes it sucked day 3-4 are the worst but once you can start sleeping again the rest is mental. -- Sub is NOT like oxy withdrawal. - BTW, from people I've spoken with stopping at .5-4mgs of sub .. withdrawal is all the same. - I have a friend who stopped on 4mg of subs but took mad amounts of loperamide (which any longtime addict knows about) - and he said it was smooth. Today if I had it to do over again, I'd go as long as possible w/ nothing - then use kratom .. it's great shit and even if taken for months, you can quit w/ out wd's. As for the benzos .. they are bad!! - Xanax is the worst!! especially if you've been taking it every day .. the withdrawal can cause seizures - so please be super careful .. you're best bet w/ those is to tamper, substitute if really "needed" .. and stop! You know your body more than anyone. The mental fight is your own but just KNOW .. you can do it .. and the other side IS AMAZING!! GOOD LUCK!!! |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 69959876 United States 02/06/2016 05:11 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So I finally make it to the doctor, feeling like total shit and he gives me a whole 8mg tab of that shit. Sit in a dark room for 30 minutes and he comes back, checks my pupils and says I need ANOTHER 8mg! So 16mg of suboxone, and I had already read up on this shit so I knew it'd be hell to come up no matter what they say. So he gives me my script , and of course it's too f'ing late to pick up the prescription (at the ONE pharmacy they delegated to let us pick it up at). So about an hour later I start feeling....bad...like I'm going into withdrawals! Feeling like i want to jump out of my skin...yawning a TON...also took what was probably the biggest shit of my young life. That thing slid out like it was neverending! So I laid in bed fully clothed, feeling more terrible by the minute...my stomach started to kick in and the nausea was coming so i freaked out and ran to my dealer for some heroin. It took quite a bit since the sub was blocking my receptors but was enough to make me feel somewhat normal. Of course I never went to pick up the prescription, that stuff didn't agree with me at all and I was totally drained of all energy the next day and feeling awful (and they expected me to attend a fucking sobriety meeting, before I could go pick up the script) yea, so anyways I'm still on heroin and planning on kicking with the help of some kratom tea. I don't have access to much else. I have tried loperamide before but all it did was make me puke up that nasty bitter shit. I don't know how anyone can keep a handful of pills down when theyre in withdrawal. My first symptoms kicking in are the vomiting and nausea, and it lasts like 2 days, every hour almost to the hour. So i'm hoping the kratom tea is easier to keep down, even though even a drink of water (or even swallowing my own saliva!) will make me vomit until nothing but bile is coming up. Ugh opiates were the biggest mistake of my life. I hope some day I can truly be free. |

Jack (OP) User ID: 66822930 United States 03/05/2016 09:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I love my GLP family. Just wanted everyone to know I have 28 days clean and sober.... Detox was hell. Ended up getting in the local paper writing a letter to the editor (my 2nd day in there...) because I don't have medicaid so the local rehab couldn't take me in their 30 day program... I spent three weeks in the 3-5 day "detox" unit of the rehab... I just refused to leave until I felt right. Had a mini seizure... again. I was coming off of Suboxone, Xanax, Valium, a litre of rum a day... basically, anything. I'm happy. Anxiety is still really high. I get... whew, I get anxiety going to the corner store. Yet every day is getting better.... People look at me and say "You look SO MUCH BETTER -" and I'm glad, but when I look in the mirror it's like "Are my pupils supposed to be this big?" Too many times I've said I'm never doing X Y Z again... My plan? Well, obviously, I have to get back to work.. Feels good to have testosterone running through the body. Feels really good when people say "You're so smart!" No, I'm not, if I was smart I wouldn't of done this to my body... But, there's something rewarding about... just breaking free. Going to bed at 2am, waking up at 6am, wide awake - that's not... normal to me. Yet, life goes on. It's scary... yet I urge everyone who is in chains to break free. Time to turn into a gym rat and fix up my truck... I appreciate everyone who called and emailed me. Now I realize that GLP isn't the real world... it's a damn website... yet when I was whacked out, I hid here... for now? I'm at 80% "mental wise" - happy - and ready to try life this way. |

So you were prescribed suboxone AND benzos at the same time? That's a BIG no-no. That's a very dangerous combo. The doctor writing that script needs to be reported. |

NO ONE IS THERE TO HELP YOU KICK, IF YOU REALLY REALLY WANT TO GET OFF DRUGS FOR GOOD ASK JESUS, HE DELIVERED ME IN THE 90'S JUST ME AND JESUS IN MY BEDROOM FOR MONTHS UNTIL I CAME OUT DELIVERED AND NEVER GOT ADDICTED AGAIN THIS IS NOT A JOKE, JESUS IS REAL, HE DELIVERED ME Well, you know, who knows what will happen at day 8 when you're hallucinating. No. 1 doctor. He writes both Subs and Benzos. Ironically, he use to be a "Pain Management" Doctor - so many of these "Pain Management" doctors are now "addiction specialists" (Only takes an 8 hour course lol) To the people who are on Suboxone but don't want off... why... don't you want off? Dude you are full of shit no doctor would prescribe benzos with subs PERIOD!! You need to look up drug interactions , you are going to kill yourself on accident!! Mine did. |
