5....that is the question that I am currently mulling over in my head.
I am struggling with precription opiate addiction, Codeine, Tramadol and DHC.
I keep quitting and relapsing, time and time again. Everytime I relapse my consumption intensifies.
Currently I am on 600mg codeine phosphate a day, 120mg DHC and 200mg Tramadol, its a never ending cycle.
I have tried it all, Cold Turkey, Taper, 12 step program, CBT. The only thing I havent tried is Buprenorphine or a 28 days rehab detox.
I have been going to a drug clinic the past few weeks and they have put a few options down.
1st was them to contact my GP and issues me a script for Codeine phosphate alone so I can taper down from 600mg a day slowly over a couple of months. My GP would not do that, refused immediately,(would mean 20 tabs a day to start, reducing by 10% every week)
2nd Was for me to go cold turkey and they would prescribe Diazepam 10mg x 2 daily and Zopiclone 7.5mg a night for 14 days only, that wouldn't work for me as I know I would relapse, tried that before.
3rd option is for me to start Bupe, 2mg a day for a month only and then reduce slowly to none (this has already been sorted, they sent a script to my local pharmacy who range me this morning and said they have it and its ready to start on Friday).
4th option (if bupe fails) is they would put me in an NHS Detox rehab centre for 14days.
So with that in mind I am thinking about the bupe option (which would start friday so I would need to take a last does tonight so i dont go through PWD)
I know everyones different but I really dont know what to do... the bupe option is scaring me a little after everything i have read
I need ot get this sorted asap as I am on my last legs with my family and missus and dont want to lose everything.
That goddamn double widsom tooth extraction 7 years ago started this 7 years ago, if id know that now I wouldnt have started taking them... if i could turn back time (humming cher for some reason now)...
Thanks!
