Hi all. Well this is my first time posting on here and my story is a long one so I’ll try to keep it as short as possible.
I have been an addict for about 5-6 years now, I’m a 32 year old English female, I work full time, live with my partner and don’t have any children. I first stated using opiates about 6 years ago, I was suffering with cystitis and my pal whipped out some tramadol. Not only did it take the pain away but it made me feel WONDERFUL! I pretty much had access to an almost limitless stock so kept taking it not realising it was addictive. Fast forward several months and my stocks run out. The WD comes, oh man I was ill. For a few years I then switch between buying Nurofen + over the counter and tramadol online. This went on for a few years till 2 years ago I OD’d on tramadol and had a full on grand mal seizure at work. My parents then found out what was happening and I went into cold turkey. This was the worst CT ever, I couldn’t eat, kept throwing up, terrible diarrhoea, awful anxiety, restless legs, the whole shebang. About a week later the physical was pretty much over but I still lacked energy, was very depressed, couldn’t concentrate at work and found joy in nothing so I went back onto Nurofen + and have been on it ever since. A few weeks ago I went to my doc for help and she put me on a taper programme using codiene phosphate. I stupidly didn’t stick to the plan and was using all the codiene pills then topping them up with Nurofen + so this weekend have decided to stop it and just stick to my plan but by now my plan is 1 x 15mg pill 4 times a day (this from 8 x Nuro + tablets 4 times a day so quite a big drop). I’m not doing too bad, I’m able to sleep through, a little diarrhoea but just mainly feel bored. One thing I’ve read about is the use of loporomide to help with WDs so I bought some yesterday and I’ve got to say I’m pleasantly surprised! I took 6 x 2mgs per the advice I’ve read and I felt almost normal! I’m struggling a bit with RLS today so I’m going to take some more loporomide and hopefully that’ll sort it out.
Sorry for the essay but I felt that I had to get it all in.
Has anyone else used loporomide for help with WDs? Or does anyone have any other advise to reduce WDs?
I’m happy to ask any questions as well. I’m only on day 2 and am still taking 1 x 15mg of codeine phosphate 4 times a day so it’s not as bad as it could be if I was taking nothing!
Peace and love to all x
