Nice!

Well I've just gotten a prescription for 500/30 paracetamol/codeine in a country where you can get pure codeine OTC, failign to see the point :?

Maybe it's for the benefit of the paracetamol too, who knows, It is a bit weird though.

I never knew that pure codeine was available OTC in france or I woulda bought some before I scarpered.

Hope you are doing well Pagey, you're a top girl and I don't even know you that well but you've always been good to me.



I've had a NA related day today, spent the afternoon with my sponsor, chatting and reading over some of the basic texts, then off to an NA meeting we went and picked up his sponsor on the way, the meeting was very humbling, some of the shares were very emotional and I could relate to a lot of what was said. I shared a bit too, shared a bit about bluelight without mentioning the website name, and how Evads death a while back now is still affecting me, and how recent events have pushed me to want to stop putting myself in situations which are usually due to drugs that are dangerous. A sober life seems to be a safer life in a lot of ways, and listening to a lot of the shares today and talking about the losses that I've had from people on this board and the situations that they must have gotten into to OD accidently or not has made me more focused for a sober life. I'm just waiting for detox/rehab now to kick the benzos and start working towards my 30 day keyring.

Is that over in France? When I was there I was also prescribed that, and I even asked for just pure codiene but they said all formulations they have are only with paracetamol...:(

Ah well, fuck codeine, oxy is the one.

Yup, back in Paris for the week. <snip>
But you're right, oxy's the one. Codeine's just all I got to try and keep WDs at bay to avoid using dope around my family aha.

Yeah, dunno...plus this one I'm being RX'ed is prescription only - they really need to revisit their policies!
But yeah it is although most people don't know it. They get suspicious if you ask for it but I'm lucky not to look like a drug user so I can usually get it.
And thanks, that's really nice of you. Been better, been worse :) hope you're doing okay as well <3
And that's fantastic for NA, I'm glad to hear it sounds like you're having a breakthrough - keep it up.

I really like NA and I'm fortunate enough that the meetings around my area don't preach the 12 steps bullshit. They really are just focused on recovery and people getting better/sharing stories, I couldn't imagine if I had to follow them strictly. NA is completely the best way to get sober and clean off drugs if you keep it up and keep going, if you start slacking through and missing meetings I find that you start toget tempted again though... It also brings structure into your life which is usually missing as an addict which is amazing, but I don't feel ready for NA yet. I'm just not in a position to get off drugs at the moment. I'm so hooked on oxy it's unbelievable.

And pagey noooo- I mean I had an RX for codeine and oxycodone from a doctor, and even the doctor at the clinic said there was no such thing as pure codeine in France :( maybe she just misunderstood me... Ah well...
 
^Speaking of which, lemme know if/when you wanna hit up another meeting synthetix :)
Although I get what you mean about not being ready for it right now, a bit too much maybe.

That's weird..I can assure you it does indeed exist as I've bought it a number of times. I'm wondering what to think of the french medical system now if doctors don't know what pharmacies hold and paracetamol/codeine mixes are prescription only when pure codeine is OTC. Oh well, not gonna complain, plus it's free =D

Thanks :) things are looking up, there is a light at the end of the tunnel, it's not a tunnel that is actually a roundabout with no lights just going round and round digging a hole anymore, there is a way out and I can see it and it looks nice :)

I'm very lucky that it is like that in my area too or I would have kicked it in after my first meeting, it's been helpful so far and have got some phone numbers and met some good people there. It's gonna be the saving of me I know it :)
 
Thanks pagey, id love to go to another but I really need to come down from my ridiculous habit first... I would like to go to another soon though :)

And yeah I'm sure it is... It's just it was pretty obvious I was a seeker at the pharmacy - the doctor had no idea what I was on about and just scribed oxy and codeine but the pharmacists wouldn't have any of it. Of course they ordered the oxy and tetrazepam but didn't switch the codeine/apap to pure codeine...

Yeah I get that, no worries :)

IME the pharmacists are actually more suspicious than the doctors, for some reason. There's one pharmacy I can't go to anymore for pure codeine because I went there 3 times in the space of about 6 weeks asking for it, and now they tell me they don't have it so I seem to have been blacklisted, haha.
 
Yeah... It was so weird the pharmacists reaction when I came with an oxycodone prescription. She was hesitant to give me it but had no other choice, so in her face. I don't know why they're like that over there, but it was really weird. Ah well. Glad I don't have to deal with them anymore.

Haha, it might have just been the typical Parisian assholeness, you know how we are over here... ;)
Nah I dunno, they give out benzos like candy but narcotics are much more restricted in France.
 
Uh lets see another 40mg of Adderall tonight ? Why not.

Refilled my xanax script. Fucking doctor doesn't want to keep me on it so cut my dose down a LOT. Went from 0.5mg x60 to 0.25 x20. HUGE decrease in amount. Luckily this time I have one refill so 10mg in total ! woohoo. /sarcasm.

being able to get the codeine/ethylmorphine pills is nice. until sunday comes 'round. no one warned me you gotta buy enough for 2 days on saturdays. "two-see-packs." the first time i was so far off in my pronunciation, had to write it down for the pharmacist.
 
don't know what you got. codeine is technically OTC with another substance where i live, but it's a pain to convince the pharmacists that. in the french cities i've visited, it's like buying a pack of gum kept behind the counter. that's always the last pack in stock. but that's ok, because there are two more pharmacies on the same block and a few more on the next.
 
Yeah, they're cool with it most of the time.
I didn't know you could get codeine/ethylmorphine mixes OTC though, gonna have to look into that.

Just a friendly reminder to bear in mind that we don't want a lot of content posted about what to say at a pharmacy to get what must at least be a somewhat controlled med if it is kept behind the counter. Along the same lines as no posting what you would say to your doctor to get a particular Rx.

I know this is just the social and all, but lets get it back on track.
 
Hey, hydro! How are you? Loverly to see you in here, I've not popped by BDD in ages (no longer mod here :( although couldn't quite let go of the place so smodding it now, after almost stepping down a gazillion times haha..) Hope all is well with you :) <3

Pagey, synthetix, Mugz, it's a Euro take-over :D

Very good point Bronson, glad to see BDD's in such capable hands :) <3 the current team are looking pretty sharp I must say. How are you finding your triple-stick?
