Do they have nurses hotlines to call somehow ???!? Like here ?
A pharmacy possibly ?
Unfortunately New Zealand is way behind when it comes to detox options. We do it HARD over here. Theres 5 million people in the country and only 4 inpatient detox programs all with 12 month wait lists.
That leaves options for someone like me with a successful business, a wife, a son and an athletic career very limited to say the least. Even to start on the suboxone "program here" you must go through assessments over 2 weeks before suboxone is even prescribed. hahahahahaha the ridiculousness of even typing that is INSANE.
So I'm 48 hours out from my last sub dose now and I've been dosing oxy to stop withdrawal and am feeling ok.
I have an appointment to get back on subs tomorrow at 11am so I'm hoping because i was in the suboxone program here only a month ago they can fast track my prescription and get me back on to stabilize asap. They don't do sublocade here or i would definitely be using that as an option to get off subs completely. Its a rocky road here in NZ.
Honestly i thought i wanted to just go through the withdrawal but its not realistic with all the responsibility i have to be sitting in bed for weeks tossing , turning, sweating. I cant let my son see me like that he's only 8 the one time he saw me having a panic attack in withdrawal he completely freaked out and ill never forget the look on his little face when i told my wife it feels like im dying ( i completely forgot he was standing there because i was in such bad withdrawal) i cant ever put him through that again.
These fucking drugs like suboxone are fucking evil but when i was on low dose 1mg a day i was actually quite stable. getting up in the morning training for 1hr in my home gym then going to the track for sprints then off to work to run my business coming home getting all my chores done etc etc. out and about in the weekends living my life and taking my son to do fun things that make him happy. great relationship with my beautiful wife. I'm actually just starting to think maybe i would be better off just re stabilizing on suboxone and staying there until im in a position where i can take a month to just sit in bed and do nothing and let the withdrawal take me.
I do have a huge stockpile of benzos, kratom, loperamide. hell I've even got a huge stockpile of vyvnase and i have some oxy. I can get stuff like fent and ketamine if i wanted but i really don't want to just dose myself with a cocktail of different drugs and risk becoming dependent on those too.
