Anyone been in a similar situation? I OD'd on what you could call a failed suicide attempt or a careless recreational venture with a recently acquired potent opiod. (I could swing it either way tomorrow when I'm going to hopefully be able to leave this place and get something better prescribed.)
I have never been prescribed anything that really helps, I've been offered SSRI/SNRI and similar antidepressants which I know won't work on me, I did start taking one of them just to prove to myself and my doctor that they don't do any good for me. When I accepted an SSRI I did start recieving a small dose diazepam and a small doze zopiclone, finally. But they were small doses and were never going to be a long term option. Anyway, after a month on the SSRI I felt no positive effects and the doctor wanted to upp the dose, I agreed, it made me feel worse and eventually led to my careless opiod venture.
I genuinely want to get better but I know I need drugs, REAL drugs through the tough times, how do I get them to understand this? I wish I could get opiate prescribed but know that's virtually impossible. The only things I think I can get is higher dose Diazepam, higher dose Zopiclone, maybe Clonazepam, maybe Pregabalin (pregabalin works wonders for my anxiety if I take a large dose and have a break in between doses).
Is there anything else I could ask for, I suppose concerta/ritalin is pointless if I don't have add/adhd. Or are they not going to be giving me anything good at all due to potential suicide risk?
Thanks
