Another Success Story

dago77 — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 05:48:38 GMT

I just wanted to put this out there. Years ago after a few unsuccessful tries at kicking pain killers. I relized this was no joke and I was in for the ride of my life. I could tell this was by no means going to be easy. After asking any one I knew that was ever involved with pain killers, if they knew anyone that quit and actually reamained clean. Well, there really were not to many success stories and it completley freaked me out! Basically I thought I was ruined for life. I went to google and typed in success stories on beating vicodin addiction. It took me to a DDC forum. I can remember asking Robert in one of my first posts about people that actually beat this thing. I really needed to hear some positive stories about people having long term success. His answer was most people who are clean today are not around and have moved on with thier lives. I know there are a handful of people around who have some long term time under thier belt. And a bunch who are on thier way! And that is great! I just wanted to share a quick story about a good friend of mine who has done an awesome job and has been a great inspiration to me. Besides the great people I have met here, she is the only other person I have to really talk to about this stuff. She was using 12-15 Vics a day for 5 years strait. Plenty of time to get your body and brain messed up on this garbage. After she had enough, she went and got on Suboxone and got clean. Her doctor also started her out on way to much and told her he wanted her on it for life with her amount of using. She quickly relized that he was crazy and she droped her dose as low as she could to remain stable. She did stay on Suboxone for close to two years. She told me she felt like that was the best option for her to learn how to live a clean life again. Basically learning how to start over. She put together her own taper near two years her self with out the doctor knowing. She has not touched a Vic or a Sub after her taper in over two years!!! She moved on with her life and has a great paying job. Stories like this where what I needed years ago and what I still need today! I am sure there are people out there lurking or even some of us on the forum now that are still wondering, can I really beat this? Obviously we know its possible and know there are people out there like Robert and some of the others who have that long term clean time. It just always makes me happy to hear as many success stories as possible. I know it helps me, and I hope this will give someone else something to look forward to. Sometimes it seems impossible and so far out of reach. Personally I do not go to meetings, I am sure there are a ton of people out there who have beat this for a long time. But this one hits home with me. Another success story around here could never hurt! So I hope this one will make someone smile, and get them started, or keep them moving down the right path! It is possible to get, and remain clean!

Suboxone help. Helping my brother ween

BCott — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:21:16 GMT

Since I am constantly reading these forums I thought it I was definitely due for a post myself. Well I will give a little background and then post my questions/ thoughts. I discovered my brother (26) was addicted to oxycontin almost 2 years ago. Since I found out I convinced my parents to put him on suboxone instead of rehab. Not sure if that was a good decisions based on how this has gone. Anyway I live in Kansas City and he lives in memphis, so as far as I knew he was doing pretty good on the suboxone, but recenty had a breakdown among many other things. To make the story short after talking to him I found out that his main problem is that suboxone controls his life and he feels like ******** a lot of the time becuase of it. He started at 16 or 24 mg im not exactly sure and he moved to Kansas City 6 days ago. He really trusts me and the plan was that I would completely control his medication and give him what he needs while weening him down because he wouldnt do it on his own. He was in agreement. So he has been here for 6 days and every day is different some bad some good some real bad. BUT i should mention he told me he was taking 4mg 3 times a day until he got here. Since he has been here I have given him 4mg twice a day. He recently got a script of xanax, but I feel like thats another addiction in the making. All he wants to do is take xanax becuase he says he can take a lot less suboxone when he has xanax. Anyways he only had a small script and is out with a little more on the way. He says it only helps if he takes up to 1mg. he is only perscriped .25 or .5. He also has klonopin which I give him sometimes when he doesnt have xanax and he says it doesnt really help as much but I definitely notice a difference in his mood. He seemed aboslutely fine yesterday and then today I gave him exact same amount of medicine, and after I got home from work (4 oclock everydyay) he was drunk as a skunk. He turns to alchohol when he claims he is in pain. He tells me he starts to have withdrawals after only 4 or 5 hours of taking the sub. I find it hard to believe after all the forums I have read. Anyways my big question is.... for the times when you decide to make a jump to a lower dose. How bad are symtoms? How many days will they last or does it take to adjust? What can be taken to ease this (xanax klonipin)? is it okay for him to drink or get drunk? I know I dont want it to be a habit and I wont let him but sometimes is that an appropriate way to deal with his pain. Obviously I cant completely understand because its not me and I wish there was a way without using other drugs but he seems to think xanax is they key! Any information would be very very helpful! Also I am keeping a day to day journal of doses of everything and how he feels and what happens that I may share after a while if he says its okay!

Thanks,
Brad

Life is Hard

no_more_tram — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:23:56 GMT

Even though I have already posted a thread of my relapse, I felt the need to post another. With my only being clean for a short time, I am also going through a VERY stressful time, and my entire family is. I am not going to get into the whole matter and share everything, that doesn't matter anyways. It's just very hard and tempting at times when life get's really bad.

I am proud of myself for being clean, but all this guilt over the time is just flushing all over me. This has been such a long, process for me. Since I have chronic pain, from a injury 3 years ago to this day am still suffering. I am only 26 years old and have two small children that not only need me mentally but physically.

So at the moment my situation is not only a financial one, but also a mental and very depressing one. I try to be as strong as I can, but last night I just brokedown. I believe in God and know that things can and do work out in time, but why does everything have to happen all at once. And for what purpose. I know only God knows the answer to that, but I wish I had some kind of option for my situation.

I suppose now being older and realizing it that this is part of life, had I only had the chance to stay a kid forever, lol.

Anyhow, I'm really down and I'm not asking for pity or sympathy, but I felt the need to get it out there and since here is the only place I can I decided to do it. I am to young to feel this way, although we never know when God will take us if I am capable of living a long life, I want to be happy. I do have many things I am blessed and greatful for, but also that I wish wasn't there.

Hope everyone out there is having a much better day than me.

Robert_325 Please Respond

JaiHova — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:11:46 GMT

Ok, so here I go, and please forgive me for any grammar or misspellings due to me just being so emotionally down I am just trying to get htis out of me.

SWIM began using oxycontin recreationally once a week allmost 11 months ago. As with everyone else this gradually increased. So August arrives and I am a college student graduating soon. I begin to us on a everyday basis around 30-60mg. This goes on for a couple of months , but im sure as you know once everyday intake happens tolerance increases. At this point im up to around 60-150 mgs a day which has been goin on for about a month or two of that level. When i say 150 though that happens rarely maybe once a week at that level. Normally its around 60-80. I have read your help responses for months now just reading and wanting help so bad. I just never could get myself to post. I have seen how much support you give and how much you help people. I know that you are busy with people asking for your help as you have become sort of a celebrity due to you being such a great help to so many people. I just need your help and I want to quit this. Its not cuz im losing my family or loved ones or doing terribly in school. In fact, im excelling in all those areas. Thats not the point I want to quit for me because I dont want these pills controlling my life and I know even if its not causing problems now it soon will. I have been an avid weed smoker. drinker, and coke addict all before. Gladly to say i have not touched cocaine in 1 yr 2 months this month. I have virtually given up drinking and smoking other then occasionally maybe once or twice a month. This is the last demon I must defeat. Please help!! I understand if you are too busy but I cant do this alone and I need a person who can be a guide to my recovery. I just need a response I will provide you with any info you need to help just please respond if you are able to help.

White oblong pill- cursive V 58-98

MisLeigh — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 17:45:57 GMT

Can you tell me what this is, white oblong pill- cursive V 58-98. My daughter took this pill from someone at work that gave it to her for a toothache. She did not take it at that time and has forgot what it was.

looking for an answer

Psychmajor — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 06:46:45 GMT

Okay, so I'm on 200 mg of sertraline and 150 mg (twice daily) of wellbutrin. meaning im on an SSRI and NDRI (<- only put on this to ease my anxiety problems since zoloft completely took care of my depression), my doctor wants to switch me to an SNRI (effexor is likely) if wellbutrin doesn't work out. How would this be different from what im currently on besides the dopamine aspect and the actual drug thats inside the med?

Also how is giving anything that increases the amount of Norepinephrine in the nervous system going to help with anxiety? With it being so related to adrenaline it seems like it would only increase anxiety through its excititory processes (cant find understandable info on the little inhibitory functions it has). I would assume that since the SSRI took care of the depression so well that the anxiety must be a comorbid disorder that isnt effected on the seritonin, norepinephrine (on the NDRI), and dopamine systems... which only leaves gaba related drug options and antipsychotics which would lower dopamine which is bad for an unmotivated person (yes im going to therapy on a weekly basis and practicing it but less dopamine would be a horrible idea), and noripinephrine (less anxiety but BAD side effects possible, i think i might rather be addicted than have tartive dysconisia [spelt wrong im pretty sure])
I dont want to have to go through 50 meds before finding the right thing (if i find it), i lived with anxiety for too long already. (frequent panic attacks (associated with agoraphobia) which interfere with creating any relationships romantic and platonic (just want to stress the ANY part of that sentence))

it would be awesome If anyone can answer my above questions, you would and more help than a Neuroscience teacher (bio psychology) and an arrogent Psychiatrist.

Iv been looking online, asking people (such as the above + others), and attempting to rationalize in my own head and cannot come up with some of these answers.

mixing narcotics

Psychmajor — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 05:15:42 GMT

If you mix ANY narcotics (yes alcohol and pot are narcotics because you can develop dependancy [tolerance mainly]) they will multiply the effects of the drugs. Xanax + alcohol(and barbituets-sleep meds) act on the same neurotransmiter (alc. inhibits GABA while Xanax increases its effectiveness...(hence why over doses have the same symptoms) Adding opiates (which includes methadone) to that which has a side effect of drowsieness have an extreamly high chance of killing you). oxycontin + stimulents such as cocain (a schedual 2 so this can be legaly perscribed...) have opposit effects which can be life threatening. Alcohol+energy drinks = in high doses can be life threatening because the opposite effects they have.... and so on

i post this because i noticed alot of people had questions about mixing drugs and i dont recomend it even if your an addict (who uses high doses of a substance because of tolerance) who isnt willing to seek treatment. Even the addict values life.

vaccine allergic reaction

sayyadina — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:05:56 GMT

I have had allergic reactions to 2 different vaccines, and I'm allergic to several antibiotics and some other medications. I was wondering if I shouldn't get any more vaccinations, ever.

I was quite sick (bad headache, fever, and just feeling sick) after I got the meningitis vaccine. Then I got the TD vaccine, and developed a softball sized, red, hot, painful, raised bump at the injection site, which limited the use of my arm until it went away. I got these vaccines in different years.

The medications I've had allergic reactions to are ibuprofen, clindamycin, doxycycline, cephalexin, amoxicillin, & loratidine.

I'm almost 26.

I need some advice or stories dealing with xanax withdrawal

disassembly — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 21:57:21 GMT

Long title I know, sorry.

After a long Xanax binge about four days ago now, I'm still dealing with the withdrawal symptoms. Unfortunately the only way for me to taper of is to use the same prescription that I was previously abusing (this is a bottle of 140 1mg pills and it's sitting on my damned dresser like a vulture).

I weigh about 115lbs(?) maybe less, I don't worry about scales nor do I see any point in owning one. Point being, I was taking upwards of 20-30mg of alprazolam (Xanax) every time I had my prescription. I'm guessing that someone in my immediate family was either an alcoholic or partied with some pretty serious drugs for none of that to have killed me.
I dealt without the pills for about thirty hours until the withdrawal set in (if you've been through this, you know what I mean... it's a bit different for everyone, but either way it's a nightmare).

I'd love any comments or personal stories from anyone who's willing to share. I've been on this forum before.. I believe I was booted off for profanity (I'm nineteen guys, give me a break. :/ ). A lot of you were very helpful when I was trying to get off of amphetamines, so I'm hoping to find the same, bright people who I enjoyed talking to last year.
If you'd rather e-mail me, feel free: ordinarymadness@ymail.com

Thank you for reading. :]

the light at the end of the tunnel...

NosMC — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 21:49:26 GMT

To everyone whose been trapped on suboxone... Its been just over 3 weeks now since I stopped using this drug..

I havnt relapsed, I stuck it out and here I am today feeling better than I have in a long ass time.. I feel healthy and ontop of things.. The withdrawals do go away, insomnia sticks with you for a bit but maybe my case of that was worse since I moved about 14 hours backwards in time zones to the other side of the world n havnt fully adapted yet but basically I still DO get slight leg and arm cramps at night time which SUCK but I've been taking 2mg xanax at night once every few days just to ensure I can keep up on my sleep... Also tylenol can help with that to an extent.. Just dont ******** around with xanax I've been there aswell you HAVE to leave days inbetween dont trip on that and think youll be ok its just not worth it..

Basically I wanted to let everyone know that its not the end of the world getting off this drug... You basically have 2 weeks of feeling like ******** and not sleeping much and then things just seem to get drastically better from there onwards..

You get your sex drive back, the weak feeling in your muscles goes away, you start feeling way more outgoing and open to challenges and your whole perspective is sharpened from this experience...

It seriously is worth it getting off the subs and opiates.. Just remember that withdrawals WILL go away if you let your body cope with it.. Keep that in mind the whole way through... Dont leave yourself open to the option of popping pills or junging a divvy in your arm when things get hard...

It seriously is mind over matter and believe me when I tell you your going to ********ing love being able to wake up in the morning and NOT have to even think about taking any drugs just to maintain..

Dont give up the struggle... peace.

Vicoprofen 7.5mg 30 pills/day? is it possible?

mashik777 — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:56:20 GMT

My husband says that he is taking 30 pills/day of vicoprofen 7.5mg.
The doctor and the pharmasist are saying that this is not possible, he would be dead, cause in each pill there is 200mg of iboprofen. They believe that my husband is laying, and stores his pills somewhere. I don't know whom to believe. thanks
