Detoxing off Rikodeine

Well things turned bad. The night I got back from hospital I tried to commit suicide. I swallowed a shit load of pills, largactal and seroquel mainly. Was taken by ambulance to the Western hospital in Footscray for two nights. Was unconscious for about 20 hours from what I gather pissing all over the bed. After I woke I can't remember much of it. Maybe I'm lucky to be alive.... I dunno. I'm still going into VAC on thursday, though taking it easy at the moment. I still feel suicidal though I have the CAT team on my arse at the moment. I can call any time. Really don't know what to do with myself right now.
 
450mg Effexor holy shit. I assume that is the XR slow release but still. Can you come to my house so i can hook my power up to you and save on electricity. How long have you been on that much effexor. I only ask as even though your doctor will probably tell you otherwise effexor has massive withdrawls associated with it. Good luck.
 
Try not drinking it for a day. Opiate WD lasts about 24 hours. The rest is just anxiety from you being bored and having nothing to do.

-- Edit - ignore that i didnt know this was a revived thread.

Thats alot of medication to be on. You're going to end up with tardive dysenesia for sure and major addictions. See another specialist. One that doesn't want you dead.

Hang in there recovery is a long path. The best cure is exercise and eating properly. Not all those silly medeications.
 
Wow...

Wow, thanks for reviving this thread. I had forgotten I had started it, and it's good to look back at it.

I did go into rehab after all that, for 28 days. That was a good albeit full-on experience. After I got out I went back to using heroin, not rikodeine this time. I was using that off and on up until about 4 months ago. In June I used heavily for about a week - about 1-2 grams daily. Then one morning after using the night before I went back onto suboxone. Big mistake!! Yeah I went into a horrible precipitated withdrawal. Mum called the ambos, they couldn't do anything. They offered to take me to the hospital, but I was so shit-scared about leaving the house so I said no. I don't think I've ever felt that bad in my entire life. I didn't sleep a wink that night. I was in pain, sweating like crazy. I thought the people on the TV were out to get me. The only thing that gave we some relief were hot showers, and I was having one about every half-hour, all through the night. It was a harsh lesson to learn. Since then I've lapsed a few times, though haven't relapsed, ie. I haven't used more than one day. So, I think I've been making progress. I've been meditating a lot, as well as going to the gym. Been getting out a lot more, and attending an addiction day program, and seeing a counsellor once a week. I'm enjoying life again, and I'm more comfortable in my own skin than I ever have been. I do hope to reduce my meds at some stage, and down the track I'd hope to be med free, but, yanno, one day at a time!
 
Thanks for the update TeeCee. These kind of honest stories can be a real eye-opener for some, and can let others know that they're not the only ones struggling through the battles.

If you're not going to wait until the opiates are out of your system use something that dulls dopamine like Lyrica and Gabapentin. Valium won't work you could probably eat a handful and it wouldn't help a thing. Plus benzos have nasty rebound especially xanax.

Lyrica works great when you start feeling like ou need a hit. Also makes you wan to eat. Just keep yourself busy then take subbies when you feel like you're really ill. At least 12 hours after your last hit anyway. And make sure you've tapered down from grams a day to little shots.

I beg to boldly disagree with this statement, however 'off the cuff'. Fifty Valium would certainly have an effect that would be negative.

Lemme edit it. to be more realistic then. But maybe ask someone thats tried to come off heroin using Valium? :)

And im not the only one over federal snitches. :P
 
tuna - "Ex-Bluelighter". I was wondering what was going on. He seemed like a know-it-all up-start! I haven't been on here that much, but it seems this site definitely has its fair share of trolls.

Anyhow, it's good to be able to come here where people understand what drug addiction can be like. Thanks everyone for your replies!
 
Hi,

I'm currently in a psych hospital detoxing off rikodeine. Over the last two months I've had about 80 bottles. This experience, detoxing of this stuff, has been one of the worst experiences of my life. I'm just over the worst - 3 days of absolute hell, climbing the walls, couldn't eat, involuntary limb movements, couldn't work out whether to lay down or stand up, diarrhoea, crying for hours on end, the works. I'm now just left with depression, and the urge to just go and top myself. Just wondering if anyone else has had this experience.

Dude, don't go and off yourself. Get on some Subutex/Methadone Maintenance Program(s). 80 bottles of the shit over 2 months?

I recommend that you visit your local neighbourhood psychiatric hospital, and stay there for a good 2 weeks bro. Depression is a real motherfucker...

Play it safe and keep it cool.

Hey Mr. Squiggle!

Yeah thanks for your reply, tho that all happened over a year ago now.

It wasn't a good time then, but I'm going well at the moment. On suboxone, and I'm enjoying life.

Cheers,

TC
 
Good to see TeeCee. Keep up the awesome work brother. Just remember one thing though, you can't stay on Subuxone for the rest of your life! Even people like Will Burroughs died free of junk in their systems.

Apart from that, sweet as. It's always good to see a Blighter make progress, heal his/her wounds though whatever approach is necessary!!

:)
 
Thanks Mr S. Yeah don't plan on staying on suboxone forever. I'm thinking it might be in a years time when I come off it, though that is penciled in and could change depending on what it happening at the time.

It is good to make progress. Meditation is one thing that has really helped a lot. I found I was just existing when using, as opposed to living, now. It's so much better.
