Right today is day one of no subs n no citalopam.

If I don't go to the pharmacy on Tuesday for weekly pickup cam I get in trouble?

If england can get off 180 methadone I'm sure I can get off 2 mg sub n 20 mg citalopam.

Please wish me luck with this no talking me out of this my mind's made up. (Going to look for any extra later that I never used during later n flush them too tho most been flushed. Was going to take them back to my pharmacy at the end of taper as kept them encase I couldn't manage taper but no point detoxing if i have some left.

You won't get in trouble for not picking up, but they''ll stop your script. So if I were you I'd still pickup, even if you're not planning on using it - then you'll have something to fall back on if your plan goes tits up.
 
Having such an "all or nothing" attitude may come back around and bite you in the arse. Be careful.

I'd take FUBAR's advice and get the script so you have a backup. Plan B and all that..
 
Keep it polite people!

No speaking of other peoples usage and yeah, I agree with Urbain and FUBAR, Keep your script.

You don't have to take our advice darling, but it would help. You never know what tomorrow promises m'dear <3
 
Charming. I was only asking as I'm being stalked. You know what i'd love to see you lot put through this crap. Seriously people. Thanks fot the support. Maybe I'll repay the favour sometime :\ i'd like to think if one of you lot were being stalked I'd be there n support any of you. I'd getting used to doing this shit alone so what the ell eh.

I wouldn't want to come off anti-depressants at the same time as buprenorphine.
Each on its own would be challenging.
Doing both at once does not sound like a good idea, to me anyway.

I think tapers are the best and most sustainable/achievable way to get off drugs.

I only took SSRIs once, over 15 years ago - and i stopped taking them abruptly. The withdrawal symptoms were weird and horrible.
Bupe is not the most forgiving substance to come off either. Not wishing to sound discouraging - but there are good ways of detoxing, and then there are less advisable approaches.
Having done my share of each, and known plenty of people who have gone through similar things, it's become clear over time which ways of detoxing are generally more successful.

You also see some eye-opening shit at inpatient detox.

If it were me, i'd be doing this is a medically supervised, assisted way - with comfort meds such as Clonidine and regular check-ups and counselling.

2mg of subs is an awful lot still. Still something like 20 times the medical dose for pain. If its anything like my detox was then you will discover the meaning of hell. I know you want off but please just keep tapering. If you CT then i guarentee you will suffer. Its easy to think "oh ill be ok" when the drugs are still in your bloodstreem but once thryre gone then your fucked.
 
2mg is a lot.
Ideally i would taper to less than 0.5 mg, preferably ~ 0.2ish.
Obviously it can be done that way - but surely one of the main benefits of ORT is the ability to dose - and taper - known amounts.
 
Thanks sprout.

I'm feeling ok at mo. Was looking for bits of 3 earlier lol (waves) still getting cravings for 3 n impulses to look on the floor for tiny bits of powdered stuff. After a whike of madnesd I hoovered. I thought I was NOT meant to crace 3 after the initial comedown which has lasted almost two weeks. Can someone tell me why I'm getting compulsions to look for bits even on floor? Does anyone else feel a strong cracong for 3 prior comedown n sure 10+ days is too long tp come down from. Wonder if some of it is psychosomatic?

as has been said 2mg is alot even if it does'nt sound it - and when you have narcs in yer blood your on a pink cloud where anything is possible - 36 hours without yer dose and you will be climbing the walls TAPER is the way foreward - whats the rush? why live in pain and discomfort for weeks when you dont need to...no brainer for me.

I hope you realise this isn't exclusive to 3fpm.. you could swap that for near any drug and the outcome would be the same, its not the drug, it's you, you have an addictive personality, hence why total abstinence will be the only way for you
 
I'm not rushing been on it 3 years coming May 23 better not having people on at me being on subs too long. The DSP are obviously not helping me to let me on a drug 3 years. Mind made up n I've them now. I'm fed up of this talker interfering n caused me trouble. They've so much shit I've took drastic action deletin Facebook, stopping all meds n if it contimues I'll go police which will br a last resort as dom't wanb Bluelight involved in this shit. I truly love this community but if I disapoear on here it's cause had to gp incognito you'll be horrified tge shit they've caused msging me say "disapear off Facebook."
Once I'm completely clear headed I can work out how to address the stalking in a rational manner without people trying to convince me I'm going mas. I don't want to lose this ID. I love you all n love this community. I feel deceitful n understanded coming back here as an "alt." When I came back after my permaban I stressed to the SMOD involvrf with my returning, that I'd only come back here as Eveleivibe aa it's who I am n I didn't want want to deceive people. If I changed my account is it a lot of work for staff to move the infractioms / warnings to the new account
But yea mind's made up n I've flushed them besides no one can go ob at me or cause shit by reporting back to family n friends what I'm posting on Bluelight.

Yawn

The idea of total abstinence bores to tears. Raas exaggerates about me no way am im doing abstinence. Will have to put up with alcohol which is worst tham half the substances out there.

Does anyone know PTCH is doing? Last time i was on bl same time as PTCH we were all discussing addictive personslity.

I'm not an addict. That's victim talking. No one is curse. There is a way out. Someone recently PMd me this n I agree.

Yea im annoyed over because i was going to give it it was my business to give up not someone to interfere n cause me trouble who knows bowt about. Really has wound me up

People should be in comtrol of their ow n lives to makes or successes otherwise how are they meant to ever learn when others make these decisioms.

That's why im doing this detox like this. THIS IS MY LIFE I wantbcomtrol of it if I make a mistake I will learn from it

How are you ever meant to feel how lovely it feels to be dry n warm if you've alwaus had tgat umbrella, sheltering you from the rain n the cold? The umbrella acts as a temporary solution but doesn't stop one from finding out wjy they, for example, keep getting a cold every year.

well i hate to say this but if you don't go abstinant these issues are just gunna spring up time n time again, no offense but I don't think you are strong enough mentally to be able to use casually, you have demonstrated this time n time again with codeine subs alcohol and 3fpm

you are obviously an all or nothing person and having all will ultimately lead you to having nothing, trust me on that

With prescriptions, it is not wise to tell someone to be abstinent. There is a reason doctors have given a script!

prescriptions are not the same as RC's!!!! We all know this!
