Hi,
I’m a Rikodeine addict/recovering addict. I currently pay between $300-$800 every 4 weeks to fly over to where I can receive treatment via sublocade (buprenorphine).
I’m sure you think that’s a lot of money. And it is, but it is still cheaper than the amount of money I spent travelling for and buying Rikodeine.
I read a post on here where someone had an addiction and they were asking for help, and someone responded that Rikodeine isn’t “a real drug” and that it’s “for kids” and that you “can’t be addicted” to it. There are a few select words that come to mind for people like that.
Rikodeine is a REAL drug that caused REAL addiction, and yes it can and does ruin lives.
I was addicted to this for YEARS and it took me that long to get help, because my doctors also didn’t believe it was a real addiction. I went to my doctor in withdrawal suicidal, begging for something, *anything* to help, and he told me to “just stop taking it, it won’t kill you”.
Tried the drug and alcohol clinic and they put me on a year+ waiting list, when I asked what I was supposed to do in the meantime their response was to just keep taking it.
The reason why Rikodeine is such a problem is because of doctors like mine, because of people mentioned above who take morphine and heroin and think “that wouldn’t give me a buzz, as if it would for anyone else”.
Rikodeine is a problem because it’s easy to get, and people are constantly, falsely told that it isn’t addictive, so they’ve been shopping around the state, spending hundreds of dollars a day just to curb the withdrawals that feel like death, that they wish they could just take a knife and end, selling everything they own for a couple of bucks petrol, losing jobs because they can’t go to work, can’t physically function without their high, ruining relationships with family and friends because they borrow so much money, they’re thousands of dollars in debt.
Rikodeine is dangerous because when you go to try and get help, you’re belittled, called a liar, told that it’s ‘not that bad it’s just codeine’. In the end you’re too embarrassed to get help, but you also cannot just stop.
Rikodeine is dangerous. And if you’re in a situation where you’re addicted, don’t you ever let anyone tell you otherwise when you’re trying to get help for yourself. You fight for the chance to become free of that addiction.
