So I get prescribed norco 7.5 3 times a day and have had ongoing nausea issues during menstrual cycle and migraines flares up. Not due to the medication btw it was long before. I have been hospitalized before and frequent the urgent care for cocktail shots to stop these vomiting spells. I have been prescribed promethazine hydrochloride tablets many times before 25 mg at urgent cares. There are 2 doctors that I see in the office I get pain management from but are just general practitioners and one of them who I see in person told me he was going to prescribe me the phenergan tablets for the nausea. That’s all that has worked with me I’ve tried Zofran, Reglan, compazine, ginger chews, haldol, Pepcid, everything in the book phenergan is the only one effective. When it was time to pick up the modification they sent over Reglan instead which I told them was ineffective for me already. When I called the office the nurse said phenergan only came in injectables which I know isn’t true given that I’ve had tablets before… she said she will call me back and never did. Next appointment rolls around I speak to other dr who I says he will send over compazine?? Is this some sort of game being played is phenergan that serious to be being withheld like this? They are making me look like I’m seeking it when the others have just been bad reactions or ineffective. Why say your gonna prescribe it then play all these games? Any advice?
So for context, I’m 22, I’ve been a huge stoner since early high school and I’ve been dabbling with harder drugs since 16. I’ve been addicted to kratom for about a year. I started using it daily because I have chronic fatigue syndrome and kratom gives me the energy I need to keep a job and keep some normalcy in my life. Over the last year and a half I’ve used dilaudid about once a week or two but lately I’ve been using it daily instranasally. I have severe anxiety and bad depression already on top of my health issues (which absolutely destroyed my mental health). To make matters worse, I’m transgender and I’ve been getting harassed in public a lot recently because of it (men sexually harassing me or people making mean comments at bars and in public). This has caused my mental health to spiral and so I’ve been using dilaudid almost daily. I’ve used it the last 5 days. I’m on day 6 and I haven’t used yet today. Luckily no physical withdrawal, but my mental cravings are really bad. I think about using constantly, I want it every day from the second I wake up. It makes my chronic fatigue go away entirely and it makes me feel mentally well enough to get through the day. At this point though Idek if I’m still struggling with chronic fatigue or if it’s just kratom/opioid withdrawals. Idk I’m just trying to make sure I don’t ruin my life with dilaudid but all I wanna do is use :(
Hello! Following up on my last post (the social media/PR post)
Since this clinic I work for literally just started, & only has 50 clients, most are still in the beginning stages. Was wondering if anybody would like to share their own success story? I also plan to use my own, too. It’d be anonymous, of course! Basically just how methadone or suboxone has allowed you to focus on healing yourself, without having to worry about WD, got a job, was able to taper/come down fully. Anything you seem successful & wouldn’t mind sharing.
The clinic I work for is in a heavily red area, so I’m being trying to de stigmatize Methadone & MAT especially, as we’re the only clinic in a very red county. So many have this notion that narcan is an “enabler, & addicts keep using cuz they know they can just narcan themselves🙄🤦🏼♀️,” how “methadone is replacing one drug for another,” etc etc. Please feel free to include anything you feel is important. If I end up using your story, I’ll of course let you know. I’m looking for 4-7 stories, but I’ll take whatever I can get. Looking for lifers, people that did short tapers, long tapers, methadone & Suboxone stories, etc!
I'm 20M, 140lbs and I'm currently on 1mg Clonazepam and 5mg valium and 7.5mg midazolum with 3 Ritalin. I took these 1 hrs ago. Now Looking around i found a 10mg/1ml vial of nubain and a sterile syringe. I was thinking of trying my first opiate ever(even if it's not an actually opiate or whatsoever) and shooting it but worried about benzos interacting with it. Need professional advices!
My fuxking doctor already called in the script, just refill it. Fuck Walgreens and their entitled pharmacy staff, thinking they know better than an actual Doctor.
prepped a shot, was under time pressure and couldn’t find a vein so had to leave it. pretty sure i didn’t draw any blood into the syringe. if i heat it and filter it again will i be good or am i risking bacteria having grown over time? is there anything i can do to kill the bacteria if so as i really need this shot?
i have a very sensitive stomach, and tramadol is tearing me up. is there any opiate thats easier on the stomach? im tired of puking 90% of the time.
I often dream of being in rehab. The sinking low feeling of being locked in there for 30 days missing my loved ones. Often the really bad Councelor’s and doctors I’ve had are always the ones working there. I often have using dreams hanging out with my old friends using. They are so vivid I can feel and taste everything. A huge theme of my dreams is getting long needle like things stuck in my ankles and feet. I used to shoot up a lot on my feet and ankles and admittedly was terrible at it and stabbed the fuck out of myself and killed a lot of nerves and shit. I have a phobia of needles and I can’t believe I ever did that to myself. Often time the needles I’m pulling out are much larger than hypodermic needles. Their like pencil lead or last night it was these metal corn on the cob spike holder things. I wake up and my feet and ankles hurt so badly like phantom pain. And I’m so relieved it’s all just a dream. It’s all so vivid, I can remember the dope hitting and trying to check on my friend to make sure he was alright and shit.
I’m still on methadone. I’m almost 4 years “sober” really just off of fent and hard shit. I’m still struggling with benzos and alcohol and weed and shit since losing my partner to a fent OD 2 years ago and I’m just so fucking traumatized. I’m so tired man. Just wanted to write this as I have no one to really talk to and it’s kind of like a dream journal I guess idk.
I have a lot of really fucked up PTSD dreams and nightmares that are all intermeshed with childhood trauma and dead friends and loved ones a d using and strange familiar places idk.
Does Methadone help fix the apathy i got from Oxy use?
Context: i got terrible chronic pain that makes me go crazy if left unchecked. But no OTC meds seem to work. I went on oxy for that reason (kratom and my gut does not agree with each other)
i currently use between 60 - 80mg a day, but it's taken away the feeling of happiness & motivation from anything.
The crazy part is that i can stop at any time i like (done that 3 times already to see if my pain was less or worse in the past year (maybe my autism superpower helps? 😅)
To get to the point: i need something that helps against the pain, that is not literally taking away all positive feelings throughout the day.
Short facts: Currently been taking it for about 3 months now. My chronic pain is both nerve pain & muscle pain I only experience two hours of joy a day now. My "high" moments is literally gone within an hour. Might be because of slight autism and adhd.
Any help is appreciated. Many thanks for your time.
Edit: i think some misunderstood my post. I'm not looking for a different drug to "abuse" for it's euphoric elements. I'm looking for meds that works against my pain, without taking away my happiness and motivation. I literally now have to choose: do you want to relax, enjoy your hobbies and be happier but have shitloads of daily pain? Or do you want to be pain free, but have nothing that gives you happiness, motivation and your mood will suck 22h a day?
Everything I take opioids I get a boner, no joke im serious. Not even a regular boner, when im wearing jeans it is truly painful, is this normal? Like the errection lasts for up to 3 hours! Wtf is wrong with me
(M 20)So basically I need advice on how to get my doctor to prescribe me stronger opiates. I currently get prescribed 28x 30mgs every 8 days for illoinguinal nerve pain which means I take anywhere from 5-10 30mg pills per day. I really don’t like having to take so many codeine pills daily I would really prefer just taking 1-2 morphine tablets and being good for the day. I am going to see a private doctor on Thursday as the nhs waiting time for the pain clinic could be 1 year or longer What I’m basically asking is how do I go about asking my private pain management doctor for a morphine prescription? I’m technically on morphine already being on 150-300mg per day so could I bring that up? All advice is very appreciated thank you
Going to Puerto Rico in a couple of weeks. What’s the deal with the pharmacies there (not the chains). Can you get anything good?
I have struggled with nerve damage in my chest for over 6 years (I’m 25). My doctor has said I have chronic pain so he’s been treating me for it for a couple of years by giving me amitriptyline, duloxotine and gabapentin the only one that agrees with me is gabapentin but doesn’t do very much for the pain but does increase my mood which helps me forget about it but it has lost its magic pretty early on and my doctor won’t increase my dose as they’re “addictive” and I’ll just be in the same position when he ups my dose and I get used to it so I do believe he’s probably right. The other 2 have had awful effects on my body so I stopped taking them (sleepy, vomiting and dry mouth). For over a year I have obtained opioids by myself namely tramadol, tapentadol and oxy, I do switch between them due to price and availability but Oxy is the best for my tolerance with the least side effects id say I notice myself struggling to take full breaths on tapentadol the most. I only take maximum 10mg Oxy, 100mg tapentadol or 50mg tramadol in the morning and i found they’re the only thing that helps but I know he will not give me opioids for chronic pain but I feel the things he’s chucking at me are actually causing more damage to me as I only need lower doses of opioids to help even a year and a half in. I went from taking them every 3 days because I was scared of addiction to daily as I’m realising them 3 days are me just concentrating on the pain all day which stops me from being able to work properly. Now I’m taking them off my own back I’m fully functional in work and back to my old self I feel like a kid again with energy. What should I do I don’t want to take something again from a doctor that’s going to make me feel worse when I found things that work. I’d rather die in 30 years than have a bad quality of life in my 20s. I am in the UK where doctors really don’t like giving them out. Should I say I’m getting them illegally and will continue to do so but I’d prefer to do it under a doctors supervision or is there something I can suggest to my doctor instead of them I named which give me awful side effects.
So I have tried potentiating oxy before using the guide that is pinned on several subreddits. I've used tums and napoxen like the guide said. Does anyone have exact brand/type of white grapefruit juice to get? I tried the "simply" brand but not sure if that's the right one. Plus it's so hard to find in stores.
So how much and what times before do you take tagamet before swallowing oxy? I have tried 1 hour, 30 minutes intervals. The most I've done at a time is 9 tagamet pills at once and didn't feel potentiation.
So can someone help Guide me maybe as to dosage and times because members have reached out and told me the timing potentiating guide on here is wrong. I'm just so confused.
Thanks so much!
Just to have a back up for emergencies like when doc doesn't put in order for days
Will I not be able to pick up discharge meds from hospital pharmacy (different pharmacy)
Wondering if anyone got away with it or if they will give me a hard time saying that it's been picked up while here
Also, might be a different dosage that I'll be discharged with, a higher dose
Also, what should I stock up on while I'm here. Any supplies that I should start stashing
Has anyone else from the UK noticed that 12.8 milligram co-codamol oral tablets have recently been made over the counter, with a max dosage of 8 per day/104mg of codeine. They were already available at that strength as an effervescent tablet or with ibuprofen, but at a max dose of 6 per day. Which is where I get a bit confused, as far as I can establish the maximum dose for over the counter codeine preparations is 64 milligrams per day. Has this changed recently?
It just seems a bit strange to increase the amount of codeine avaliable after not long ago making codeine linctus otc. I was also reading about a potential generic dhc/paracetamol formulation being available soon through boots. Perhaps to alleviate some of the strain on the NHS by licensing more potent otc medications?
Was using oxy 800mg daily for around a month, relapsed on day 10 with around 240mg. Am i going to have to experience the same thing all over again? Any experiences? Appreciate it.
Idk about you guys, but in my area you cannot get shit. IM NOT SOURCING THIS IS JUST A RANT! The area I live in is relatively popular area, mostly college kids, but a rich area. In the past 6 months, everyone I know has quit because they can’t get anything, or it’s all just fentanyl. And the new people I’ve found are all men who only want to sell to me after I fuck them (no offense to any sex workers im just not that kinda gal). I’ve ever had other friends who already buy from the dealer give them my number, and it seems like everything is cool and then they ask me some sex question and as soon as I say no they ghost me. A lot of my friends have to drive over an hour now to get stuff, and I don’t have a car so it’s not really convenient for me. I know how to access the dark web, but don’t know how to actually use it and not be an idiot, and I prefer just to get it in person anyways.
Is anyone else having this issue? When I lived in a different part of the country, I never had this issue, and that area had about the same popularity and foot traffic.
Also, if anyone in the past has sold drugs for sex, can I ask why? I mean I get why, but can you even enjoy it when you know the person is basically forcing themselves to do it for an addiction?
Again, no shame to anyone out there who has done this/had to do this before, I’m just genuinely curious. I miss having female plugs we were just straight business 😭
My stomach is feeling very uncomfortable and its been a day since i pooped. Should i just take a laxative or let it fix itself
What is the safest dose of both Norco and Pregabalin combined together, before I risk serious CNS depression. I have 75 mg capsules prescribed (I take one cap three times a day) as well as only 5mg tablets of Norco scripted for a severe foot injury that I have surgery for in two days (one every 6 hours, so essentially what comes out to a 3 day supply) which of course do nothing). In a lot of pain and I cannot fall asleep on top of suffering from severe insomnia that has had me up for 3 nights. Will start with the safest dose of both combined people suggest, remember I am trying to sleep through my pain not fucking die. And hopefully my insomnia won’t keep me awake after using the safest dose of both people suggest, because along with both drugs I also have an HHC pen that tests at 91% if that also occurs.
Edit: Four broken bones and a dislocated bone in my foot. It’s swollen to hell and fucking throbs. Medium pain tolerance, pain is at a 6. Thought y’all should know.
Title says it all. As some do you know, I recently got a job at my county’s first & only MAT clinic (it’s heavily red) like so bad that the Narcan post for a lot of hate like “let em die, it was their choice, etc”
Just looking for ideas on stuff I can cover to help convince people we’re not going to be a problem, as well as educating people. Xposted in the methadone thread.
Im gonna talk to a Dr about this here soon but just wanted to hear personal experiences from others. I mainly use oxy but have used kratom on days I don't have any oxy.
I was visiting family in the hospital and I noticed there is a stand that looks like an old school newspaper rack, and it has boxes of Narcan and test strips for free.
I have taken other stronger stuff before but would 360 mg of codeine give me a good high like oxy I have take like 40 mg of that?
I'm currently on oxy 15-20 mg Psychiatrist says I may benefit from a stimulant as long as I don't have any heart problems, which I don't. Questions are, Do you think "the team" of doctors, will be against a stimulant because I'm on oxy? Which stimulant should I go with and why? (Dr. mentioned Adderall most likely unless I want to try something else) Could it help me to stop taking oxy or help withdrawals, Dr. mentioned non stimulant like clonodine which I heard is good for withdrawals but I want to try a stimulant. What should I expect while on stimulants and stimulants and oxy, what dose can I push the limit to without Dr. wanting to switch to something else.
Thanks in advance
I’m 6 days in withdrawal from oxy 240mg/day and Oxymorphone 30 er. I can barely go to the bathroom without feeling like I’m gonna fall down. I’m so weak! I haven’t eaten since Wednesday before Thanksgiving because I am so nauseas. The only med I have is Temazepam for sleep, and even taking five or six of them doesnt help me sleep.
I also have Crohn’s disease and so my guts are torn up!
Advice?
Every time I go to sleep high or I withdrawal I’m sweating, I know I get warm when I’m hot, but I don’t sweat when I nod either only when I sleep
So not sure do this is allowed but I have some green promethazine no codiene nothing else in it just straight promethazine. If I take this Oc 30 and put half of it in the drink would it be like drinking lean with codiene or will I loose the OC
Hey, as the title says, I wanted to know how i can consume these pills, I have no experience with morphine but a lot with other opioids, my tolerance is around 75-125mg odsmt orally per day, hope for a quick answer thanks!✌️
Let’s say I took a nice hefty dose around an hour ago, and then was reminded that my mom was supposed to come over. Can you use Narcan as an “abort mission” button or is that dangerous/uncomfortable enough that it isn’t worth it?
Edit - did not end up taking the narcan, played it cool for the most part but towards the end I could tell she knew 😢
