Hey mate I know this is an old post, but is that doc still practising/open to new patients? I'dbeen on Buvidal (after 2 years on subs) for about a year, came off and was good for 6 months but worried I'm falling back into a dependent habit. Not to tell my life story but since moving to melb have found it harder than I thought to find prescribing doctors unless you go through the injecting centre.
Excellent mate. You’re right in that there are bugger all docs prescribing, so I’m really happy you came across the post. As I said, fantastic GP to have in general. I’ve been on Buvidal the whole time, but he also does Sublocade, dunno if it’s worth giving that a crack instead. From what I’ve read it’s better if you are intending to jump off it.
That's good to know there's a choice. I've heard that with Sublocade too but I'll probably go Buvidal. I've come off Buvidal before and it was pretty easy, I missed my monthly appointment and thought let's roll with it and was surprised how few withdrawals there were. Much easier then subs
That’s good it worked well for you before. Really glad you got an appointment quickly mate, I hope it works out for you.
YES, you can buy poppy seeds from supermarkets etc.. its a strong opiate and will hold you if you are withdrawing from heroin.
But do the washed seeds actually work for tea? How many lbs would you have to take for unwashed to produce a decently strong effect?
