BDD Social/Information Booth v25 - Let's all eat some acid!

Hope everyone is having a great Friday!

1 week in - its official; tapering off benzos is hard - not to mention my doc wanted me to do it in two weeks - I think that's a bit quick, no?

insomnia has taken on a whole new meaning
I'm a week into coming off a dosage of 30mg temazepam +1-1.5 mg klonopin nightly for months.
down to 15mg temazepam and 0.5 mg clonazepam nightly but i'm sleeping 3-4 hours a night...

Is it worth to ask about switching to diazepam to do a proper taper?
I've never taken diazepam - what dosage would make the taper easier but still help me sleep a bit?

Oh what a sweet kitten, coma. I am sorry she is going through all of this, glad they gave her something for the pain. Just for curiosities sake, how much bupe does it take to dose a kitten?

Grady, I don't know how to answer your question, but I do think that doing a whole taper in two weeks is pretty ambitious. I think a least a month would be way more reasonable. Not sleeping is so hard.

Effie, glad you are still pleasantly opiated. My migraine has let up a little. That toradol nasal spray and a good quantity of oxy might have dome the trick....:)

Ps...vanilla yogurt with apple cinnamon cheerios mixed in is the perfect "munchies" food. Nomnomnom!

they gave us 20 pre loaded needle-less syringes with 0.03mls (3 units) of bupe, with directions to dose her once every 12 hours. it doesn't give the concentration, but I looked it up online and it looks like her dose is 9 mcg, and if not that, than anywhere between 5-20 mcg. she is only 6 months old and 2.6 lbs, but she wasn't responding well to 1 dose, so today she has taken a total of 5, and I fear the doctors wont validate giving her more in the time frame. I feel comfortable giving her this dose as I know bupe is nearly impossible to overdose on, ad she was crying in pain until we got her at the right dose. I asked the vet if it was ok to give her suboxone, which I am prescribed, and she said no because feline bupe is formulated differently, but if they don't approve on giving her more bupe when the supply we have runs out, I will be forced to use it (in a very precise and careful manner) on her.

also these syringes are useless. they leave a gap of at least 1 unit at the end, so my girlfriend and I pull up 0.9cc of water and backload it into an IV syringe with the needle broken off.

I got taken off klonopin (and 9 other rx meds) cold turkey last week so dont complain too much, but I completely understand what your going thru. I am not trying to be mean at all or be snooty, just saying to appreciate any sort of taper your given and hold on to a few pills when your done because the first few weeks afterwards are going to still be hard but if you at least know you have a crutch, that may be enough to really help ya.


I am 7 days completely sober now :)
 
This morphine 30 is weak, I chewed it and barely feel a buzz...

Then I took 8mgs of hydromorphone and hoooooooooooooooooooolyshyt

IFEELFUKNAMAZING

Why cant i go to the odd chat shit?!?! whats the password
 
^Same. ODchat is protected by a silly password. Silly is silly.

High BDD ;)
 
OD chat has been locked as it was turning into a place where people were glorifying getting fucked up and ended up being anti-HR, so unfortunately it had to be shut down :(

How are you all? Driuve-by from me, not really here.. ;)

*kiss for lou*

Siccy:

20mg oxycodone = 7.5mg hydromorphone (orally) - from this conversion chart which is found in the OD directory (link is top of the OD forum)

Bioavailbility of hydromorphone = oral 30% intranasal 60% (rounded up/down) from this bioavailability thread in the OD directory.

Oxycodone has a slightly lower insufflated bioavailability but I am counting them as the same for this,and people vary anyway..

So insufflated hydromorphone is about twice as strong, so you need half the amount. 7.5 / 2 = 3.75mgs

So 20mgs oxycodone = 3.75mgs insufflated hydromorphone. Near enough to 4mgs, so I'm going to say 20mgs oxycodone :)

Take these with a pinch of salt - the charts are not always correct, people vary, and mathetaical errors can be made!
 
^ hahe aveo, you need the bioavailability one as well and convert from oral hydromorphone to insufflated, but I agree. C'mon Siccy, you're a reg, know where the conversion charts are ;)

How are you today my dear? Bluephoria is looking more and more inviting <3
 
Thats why I just said baseline info ;)

It is, but also I am a lot better :) I am pretty sure I am clear of most of the w/d's. Anxiety is down, but not gone. Its nothing a quick smoke cant fix, but I do not like having to get up at 4 am to have a smoke so I can get back to sleep :( Treatment starts this monday and I am going in with a lot of optimism. I know I wont be perfectly sober, but I know if I can get myself figured out, my self control will take over.

Thanks for asking dearest effie! How are you?
 
^ ohhh yeah. I am very scatty today ;)

That's brilliant news lovely <3 so happy for you! Got a huge smile on my face. I know you're not there yet, but that all sounds so positive and it's good to hear a spark of the old aveo back. Love you dude :) <3
 
Aaawww shucks :kicks toe in the sand bashfully: <3

Its been hard, for real. Never thought I would be able to be ok with being cut off from all my meds. Appreciate the love dearest, truly! Back at you! Couldn't have done it w/out you guys I am sure :)

Its felt good to get back to some of my mod duties as well since now I can pay enough attention to my pc without squirming. My brother says my attitude has made a complete 360 as well. For the better. He says he has his brother back <3

The encouragement from all the BDD regs was very well received on my end and I couldnt be more grateful :D

Shit, I'm turning into Trips... ;)

I knew it would be hard lovely.. but oh so worth it, and I have every faith that you can get through this and keep on improving, even if you have stumbles. Think of Bluephoria! :) <3
 
Hydromorphone is the greatest thing ever produced by mankind.

That is all

and yea sorry Ive jus been really high and I cant read those things sometimes, I understand everything but some of the conversions to me just dont make sense
 
Oh wow, Aveo, I didn't quite know what you were going through, huge internet hugs your way. My migraine is finally gone, hallelujah! Just in time for me to have my one niece (13), two nephews (11 and 12 months) and of course my own five year old coming for a sleepover tonight...can I handle three kids and a baby....stay tuned....

Actually it will be fine, I am really great with kids!
 
You've done really well aveo to manage to be able to use the site too and moderate while getting clean. Hope you manage to keep going.

I long for the day that I am finally off my meds too, scared though, hopefully it wont take too long to finally get off the benzos and keep everything else purely recreational with no abuse.

So, I have come to the conclusion that I am a cup of orange juice, and you better not come close, because you might spill me.

(Someone who formerly worked at a psych ward told me a patient really had delusions like that)
