Opioids Oxy

And a huge waste of oxy! and of course human life.. whatever you're down about, most likely is not as big as you're making it out to be.. Also, think of it this way, if you're at the lowest point in your life, you can only go up from here..
 
Why is it painful? Does it not just put you to sleep and you don't wake up?

I am Bipolar, there is no getting better for me. It has been years and I am worse every year. I don''t have any problems in my life and lots of money if I need it. I can have anything I want, but I just sit and cry....for nothing.
 
^ money doesn't buy happiness, true happiness comes from the individual. Life is a beautiful thing, this too shall pass! My advice is to see a therapist or psychiatrist about the Bipolar disorder, and stay away from pyschoactive substances, because they make things worse.
It is not the end of the world, you can overcome it and things will only get better for you.
 
I have an aunt with bipolar, and she has bad episodes annually, but the medication she is on allows her to live a normal life 99% of the time. She says taking care of pets helps her a lot. May I ask what medication you're currently taking to treat it?
 
I am not taking a bipolar med because I live in a new city under a new name and this doctor does not know. I just told him I am depressed and he gave me paxil (also taking panic attacks). Then after about 6 mos, he changed me to celexa because the paxil made me more suicidal.
When I was taking lithium I had severe side effects and I gained 60 lbs and was real SICK. I got changed to volperic acid, I think the name was and I got even sicker....so I moved and started fresh about 2 years ago.

Now because of several hernia operations over the last 5 years, I got addicted to oxy. I can't get off them. I go into severe panic attacks if I don't take them and I can't breath. I even had to go to hospital, but they thought I had a pulmonary embolism too....because the Cat scan said there was clots in my lungs.

I am a "rapid cycler" and I go through attacks OFTEN. Celexa and oxy make me high and I like that, but I got into a fight with two other girls and I threw eggs at them and the cops came, then I knew I needed help because I have never been in trouble before.

Would you please ask your aunt what med she takes for bipolar?

Turk, what is a physchoactive substance? thanks for trying to encourage me. You and J3 are very compassionate for trying to help me. I am a real nut case, but I know kindness when I feel it. thanx......:(
 
A lot more than it takes to feel good about life in general (appx. 30mg) so try that first...

Yup life sucks half the time..it's not fair and all that noise, but hell at least you got money and oxycontin!

Shit that's my dream come true..all you missing now is some good cocaine, you'll forget about all this stuff quicker than I can fry 2 eggs and some hashbrowns.

Life ain't no Goddamn video game..you just get 1, like them kids in Africa. It could always be worse..always.
 
No it doesn't just put you to sleep, you'll most likely be conscious for every agonizing moment..

This! I used to think a drug OD would be the best way to go too. You just get really, really high, pass out, and don't wake up, right? Wrong. Your body bugs out, you convulse, your brain dumps every ounce of adrenaline it has, as well as your bowels and bladder, etc, etc,.... Quite the opposite of an easy way out.
 
Also sometimes..LESS medication is the answer.

Pills and Elixr's can't fix everything...
And is it possible that maybe, JUST maybe your not in as bad shape as you FEEL your are?
Familiarity breeds contempt..
 
Well that settles that, I won't be trying to die by pills. I had no idea that would happen. That is scarey.
I have never taken any street drugs, only oxy from the doctor.

So where can I get a gun? haha, only kidding. I couldn't do that either.
 
if you keep taking Oxy death can come in many forms. One is final - puff gone. The other is much slower, you will have less money over time, friends will change to just users, lose interest in anything other than Oxy, sex life usually goes out the window, no interest. Taking a shit will become a major event if at all. first thing you will think about when waking is Oxy, same when you go to bed. Food will not become attractive, if you are drug tested there goes your job. If you are involved in an auto accident that involves serious injury even if not your fault you may be tested and you are royally screwed. All in all it's just a bunch of laughs. The end for many is turning into a blubbering mess in some group therapy with strangers in rehab. Do your self a favor, throw the shit out and skip all this fun. Believe it or not this is where it leads and no one is exempt, even you. Go find other things to do that don't destroy life like Oxy will because it will..100% sure

I don't know how to do all this. I have tried so many times but I cave. Which is best? Cold Turkey or taper?
 
Yes, I can ask her, I can't guarantee you a quick response though. Also I think you should be honest with your doctor, there's no reason not to be, He/She will get you on the right medication and dose.

Thanks J3. Don't worry if it takes quite a while as I am on a waiting list to see a psychiatrist, that takes a year around here.....at least and sometimes longer...
 
Miss Trust- No problem, and I am speaking from experience. I was in your position a couple times in my life (though I gotta say having BP must make it more difficult for you) I got help and things slowly started getting better. Suicide is just not an option.
Do not be ashamed to ask for help either, it is a good thing!

Oh and to answer your question, a pyschoactive substance is any substance that can affect your brain/mood/perception....includes all legal pharmaceuticals and street drugs.
