Misc How to get the right prescriptions

I guess maybe its just me being depressed then. I tried to ween myself off cuz i dont like the medication anyway. I take it at night instead of morning so I wont feel bored, irritated, and restless all day. And that thing about drug addiction aint too good... I hope i can continue to control myself with hydrocodone and any other addictive drugs i might do in the future.
 
Yea ik what u mean. I get nights where i cant fall asleep until its right about time for me to wake up... Its fuckin awful. Next time i do addy, ima see how bad my insomnia is that night.

1) This is very typical of bi-polar people to not like their medicine, kid I am telling you get used to it now. I swear to you that you WILL find yourself in an institution if you stop taking your meds and something happens. This is just like the movies when you see people at clinics withs nurses that watch them swallow their medication then they spend all day long doing therapy learning how to live while taking the meds, if you do not FORCE yourself to learn how to live while one bi-polar meds, you are going to have a sad sad life.

2) Not only do you PLAN on abusing drugs later but you even have hydrocodone listed as one you want to fuck around with. Are these posts not getting to you?!?!?! If you don't want our advice then GTFO. This is serious life saving shit we are talking about. I know you are 16/17 and you know everything, and you are smarter than everybody. But drug abuse is one of those things you can not fuck around with it WILL ruin your life, ESPECIALLY in bi-polar people.

3) STOP FUCKING AROUND WITH THE ADDY, you complain about insomnia then do speed, "I cant sleep" WELL NO SHIT!

This is how I feel right now:

So are u telling me i shouldnt do any drugs at all? Like not even weed or psychedelics? Ig I can understand why opiates would be a bad choice for me but not even other shit? And actually, im about to go to my psychiatrist for the first time in like 3 months today in about an hour.

You have already been identified as AT RISK for drug abuse/dependency. So the question isn't which drug can or can I not do, it should be what kind of life do you want? Do you want to have a family one day? A wife and children that love you? A career that you can count on to keep yourself financially stable? Because the statistics for people with bi-polar disorder are STAGGERING.

- About 56 percent of individuals with bipolar who participated in a national study had experienced drug or alcohol addiction during their lifetime.
- Approximately 46 percent of that group had abused alcohol or were addicted to alcohol.
- About 41 percent had abused drugs or were addicted to drugs.
- Alcohol is the most commonly abused substance among bipolar individuals.

If you are struggling with bipolar disorder and with a drug or alcohol problem, you may have a Dual Diagnosis of bipolar disorder and substance abuse. Having a Dual Diagnosis, or a co-occurring disorder, can make recovery more challenging. Bipolar individuals may experience periods of intense depression alternating with episodes of heightened activity and an exaggerated sense of self-importance. This emotional instability can interfere with your recovery program, making it difficult to comply with the guidelines of your treatment plan.

Dual Diagnosis rehabilitation programs are designed to meet the needs of clients who are faced with this complex psychiatric condition. Staffed by specially trained and credentialed mental health professionals and addiction specialists, these centers offer care that integrates the best treatment strategies for bipolar disorder with the most effective treatments for addiction.

If you can get stable on your bi-polar medication you have a chance of beating this. If you work with your psych about dealing with addiction, you may just be able to grow up without going through the hell many of us have. It may sound hypocritical for me to warn you about what can happen. But I did it, and I hate my life. I think about suicide often. If I could go back and do it all over again from where you are, I would in a heart beat! I would have flushed that fucking first hydrocodone down the fucking toilet. Now I am stuck with REAL pain issues and I can not take anything other than subutex for it, because odds are I will abuse the hell out of it. I am almost 30 years old, and this is my life. I am dependent on medication for the rest of my life.

You want to smoke pot? Take pills? Drink? (which BTW is the worst for bi-polar) you can, because life is about choices, and the choices you make while you are young will effect the person you become. I can't make you take my advice and I sure can't make you forget about how good it feels to be high, all I can do is warn you that especially in your case, it WILL lead to some very bad things. Don't end up like me kid...
 
thewayjoshis, I'm bi-polar. Mood stabilizers are great medications that can level you out. After your all leveled out, you and your psych doc can discuss which direction to go. Alcohol, weed, pain meds, etc are all things that you don't need in your life if you wish to have a normal one.
 
I don't doubt that you have the conditions you claim to have, but I do think there's a drug-seeking motivation there too.

Try whatever your doc prescribes with an open mind. If it doesn't work, tell him so. Don't ask for anything by name unless you've been prescribed it before and found it effective. Don't limit yourself to medication. Try other things to manage your conditions and/or stem boredom. Too many psychiatrists focus only on medication and ignore therapy and lifestyle changes. Meds aren't the be-all end-all.

In the end, drugs with addiction potential will most likely worsen your overall mental health. Been there, done that, almost killed myself in the process.
