Do you think one could sue the NHS for making them an addict?

I'd never taken a drug before. I went in with acute pancreatitis clean and left 10 weeks later addicted (physically and mentally) to morphine, chloridiazapoxide (libruim) and lorazepam and haloperidol they had me on (all the morphine IV, some of the lorazepam IV and all the haloperidol oh and IV phenobarbital sometimes)
I know they were just giving me what I needed, which is why I have never actually tried before, but 7 soul-destroying years later and I really wish they hadn't given so much addictive shit...my life is miserable and ruined. I literally broke my dad. He was the most happy-go-lucky and positive person you could meet/ Now, he's perpetually stress an is extremely depressive and pessimistic - the opposite to what he was. I'm crying now, thinking about it. Imagine sucking every ounce of happiness and hope out of someone. Now imagine it being your dad.
I got sloppy and dropped a percocet on the living room floor when my 18-month niece later picked it up. Luckily, she knew what to do and handed it straight my mum. But still, if she had swallowed it...
Sorry, this is turning into to a reasons-I'm-a-piece-of=human-shit thread.

I just wanted to try to explain what this addict has done to me and people around me.

If anyone here works with the NHS or within a doctors office or a pharmacist I would love to hear from you!

This is why the NHS makes it so hard to get benzos, because there was a huge class action lawsuit from patients saying their GPs got them addicted to diazepam. So yes it is possible. But you would have to prove the NHS was acting outside of NICE guidelines and being negligent to actually win. If they followed the proper NICE approved evidence based procedure for your condition (at the time) you wouldn't win.

Also Percocet from the NHS what?
 
You might as well shit in your hands and clap. Personally, sounds like you’ve just got an addictive personality and are looking to blame anyone but yourself.

Get your head out your arse and pull yourself together man!
 
Take responsibility for your own actions a prescription is just that. You control what you take this blame culture pisses me off. If you had done your research before hand you would of been well aware of the dangers etc if you didn't then it's on you.
 
Hundreds of people die from pancreatitis every year so instead of trying to sue them I think you should be thanking them.
 
Honestly I'm with others, take responsibility for your actions, you are given warnings that opioids cause addiction when they are prescribed so it's up to you how you use them. Taking legal action against the NHS would only waste its already limited resources and even if you were successful (doubtful) you would be making it harder for other patients go get the pain relief they need.

I have prescriptions for controlled drugs including benzos and opiates, I don't drop them on the floor for anyone to pick up and I research them so I know the benefits and risks of what I am taking.

The part about dropping pills on the floor particularly cannot possibly be blamed on the NHS or anyone but yourself. Did your GP come into your house and drop pills everywhere? I am guessing not.
 
I don't really understand why you posted, what caused your pancreatitis? many times its too much alchohol what was it in your case? When you left hospital after a presumably fairly short stay were you not given tapered scripts? obviously no IV drugs so what did you leave with? what are you addicted to now and why 7 years unless you made a decision to carry on taking- i am genuinly interested in your answers

Imma have to agree with King here. There are directions written on the prescription bottle on how to take them. If you ended up abusing them, that's on you. As a person who abused opiates and got addicted to them... I didnt blame my doctor. I DID have a legitimate reason for them to be prescribed to me, BUT I chose to go down that path, nobody else... We all make decisions in life, so good... some bad.
 
The more I read on BL it becomes more clear to me a lot of people really aint cut out to be addicts.
Just be glad with your habit all you had to do was go see a doctor & fill in a script instead of having to do what most addicts daily lives are filled with.

Also anyone that tried to give me IV phenobarbital would be getting a punch to the face, fucking nurse or no nurse.
 
I do like to hold the BBC just say no campaign and zammo mcguire as well as the government backed heroin screws you up business for advertising the stuff and making me so aware of it, piquing my interest so they say. I seriously believe there was, an element of a marketing campaign about it all. And as we know it's the government allow the shipments in. Goes with a remark or observation in skag boys, where he says it was some coincidence the cheap pai stani brown flooded UK streets at the same time as all the mass unemployment. I'd link to the ra as well (not raas) as I'm certain they were a construct at thd highest shadowy level, stretching way back to irb days. But this is the random connections go on in this head. No wonder I sought a mind relaxer with a head like this, especially having been thru thd terrible comprehensive school system. What a homecoming always back to bl. Been shimmy ing into some woman's mad political blog. There's a poisonous bunch of people the active political types. They are so serious and aggressive "passionate" about this bumph. They speak in all they're own terms, vague meaningless incoherent big words and acronyms... Calling themselves working class, etc etc, nope. The real working class too busy working to participate in the tripe and conferences. There's no lightness about them at all. I thi k maybe tories have more fi un at parties than the lefts do.

No, it was a 10 week stay. Yes, the pancreatitis was alcoholic and I am 100% responsible for that, too.
No tapered scripts, my morphine was actually upped four times in three months.
It left me with prescription versions of the drugs. No tapering ever mentioned.
Now I'm better but I still am dependent on opiates and benzoiazepines. I sometimes use Zopiclone.

No, lol, I came on here and somebody inboxed me after me having only made 2 posts explaining how to get drugs on the dark web. That's why percocet, I loved Nurse Jackie so much and wanted to try it. I actually only got switched from morphine to oxy (asked my G and he was cool with it: there was no evidence of my progression into addiction back then. Jackie was big on snorting or usually chewing them.

I was rushed into hospital and an immediate drug-haze, how could I possibly do any research? I didn't know my own name and was rarely conscious.

Actually, no I wasn't. I was too ill to know anything and given the drugs IV without me mentally being able to understand what was happening. It was WEEKS before I was well enough to have my mum/doctors explain everything.
I never even attempted to blame the NHS for that. I was just giving examples of the worst things I'd stooped to due to addiction (and physical dependency.

I did not get prescriptions or bottles I was immediately given these things intravenously and repeatedly when my mind was so messed up I was rarely conscious and never clear-headed.

Okay so the weeks after when you got back to reality, you would have been given take home meds by the hospital and at that point you knew what you were on right? You said the NHS kept increasing your morphine dose so you knew full well what you were getting by that point. If you were concerned about addiction to meds you no longer needed that would have been the time to quit, tapering would have been mildly discomforting at best.

Last time I had surgery the NHS was willing to keep upping my morphine dose but I told them I didn't need anymore and would rather taper. Was a very hard thing for my druggie brain to do but I knew it was the right decision in the end.

Was it that ora-morph stuff you drink?
Didn't you find the high off it "too clean"?

I'd have personally taken everything they offered me & then go shot it out on road & buy #3 with the cash.

Nah it was those stupid time release morphine tablets. I was asked if I wanted anything stronger by my GP once I left the hospital so I possibly could have gotten Oramorph or maybe even Longtec but I didn't actually need it so decided to taper before I got in too deep again.

I've had Oramorph in the past from mates though and I honestly really love it. Far better than those shitty time release pills. I like the clean warm morphine high personally. Combined with some DHC for an extra kick I was in heaven. I mixed it with Xanax too which yes I know is very stupid from an HR perspective but it was fucking lush. If I still had a plug for Oramorph I'd buy it regularly.

Oh I once even had the OxyNorm liquid. Now that was some goooood shit.

I agree it's terrible HR but for me you just can't beat that benzo/opioid mix. Warm, tranquil euphoria. And if you have anxiety the anxiolysis alone is heaven.
