Harm Reduction CNS/Respitory depression question

Jen said:
Yes you can get respiratory depression with bupe in your system. Just don't add a benzo or more drugs

How do they give comfort meds then?
What can they use, benzos for anxiety and what about half a long acting weak one
 
Morphine withdrawal is more severe, I was told benzo, gabapentin and clonidine

In a medical setting they can dose you up to the max, I was given three drugs simultaneously whilst in detox, each one known to cause respiratory depression. However I don't think the OP is in a medical setting.

If they think they are in respiratory depression benzos would make it worse

He took oxycodone with the withdraw from 1 MG a day, splint into two and he was not on fentanyl, heroin of hydromorphone or dilauded and not IV and did he use benzos before, if not addiction doesn't happen in a week or two plus bupes have low respiratory issues.
 
Then took oxycodone and that is bad but also if not use to benzos, it takes more than a week or two for addiction especially if long acting in small dose

We are not doctors and the post was about them thinking they were in respiratory depression so no i wouldn't advise benzos to someone thinking they are overdosing
 
1mg of bupe withdrawal isn't that bad and on no other opiods, what is issue

He took oxycodone 30 MG in a day in withdrawals that caused respiratory issues
 
Oxycodone and bube withdrawal is bad, but what else, ok try just gabapentin no opiods
 
If no detox and wants off 1mg of bupes, no opiods, just gabapentin and maybe try have a temezepam I think he has some. they are weak compared to most other benzos
His issue is opiods when in withdrawal from bupes, is that not harm reduction?
 
When in dire situations it is best to ask for proper and credentialed medical advice . . .

and just to veer on the side of being safe first and for the best result and concerns of

.. . . respiratory conditions then !!!!


Please Always Be Careful.

qualified medical advice can be significant and most likely helpful
 
He can't go to detox he is in New Zealand and has to wait a month to talk to someone
