Okay guys and gals. Hello, my name is Mr. Squiggle (pseudonym). I'm 20 years old, and I have recently been struck with the whole Nurofen/Panafen Plus/Panadeine Forte/Mersyndol Night-time Caplets in order for myself to feel good. So basically, I'm psychologically addicted to codeine and when I'm not on codeine, I feel like shit (perhaps this is the physiological component of dependency on a narcotic). I take about 30 x Nurofen Plus at a time, and it does nothing for me, hence why I'm asking you guys and gals for some help. So please, read and follow up with any comments (contributory/negative, it doesn't matter) about available treatment options for my codeine problems. Now, in the big scheme of things, you may think to yourself "big fucking woop, I'm on 300 mg of Oxycontin daily!" and that's okay with me, but I have a problem, I recognize it and I'm willing to address the issue in a suitable manner.
Now, would any of the following medications be of any help to me?
Methadone (Which seems kind of dirty and expensive)
Naltrexone (Lie to my physician and tell him/her that I'm an alcoholic, due to Naltrexone proven benefit in stopping cravings for opiate-type drugs)
or the dreaded Subuxone (which is inappropriate IMO and case, because of the benzodiazepines that I take daily to control my anxiety, and the fatal combination of the two.)
Cheers guys and gals,
Mr. Squiggle.
NOTE:
BUPRENORPHINE with NALOXONE
Tablet (sublingual) 8 mg (as hydrochloride)-2 mg (as hydrochloride) (i) Suboxone
RC 28 Nil
is this available on the PBS? As in take away prescriptions of 28 tablets for the costs of a Low Income Health Care Concession's Card, or do we have to pay the FULL amount?
