Hi,
I have been lurking this place for years and wanted to join this community to get and give help.

I've been through some really bad back pain and am currently on oxycodone and pregabalin for pain. I also suffer from bi-polar disorder and are on aripiprazole, alprazolam, diazepam, venlafaxin and zolpidem for it.

I do recreationally oxycodone as I get 100 of 20 mg per month but only use 1-2 pills per day so i got some extra for weekends :)

So far this has been on control and I can take day or two off from alprazolam and diazepam. How fast WDs from alprazolam or diazepam should occur?
 
Oh btw. I happen to have nearly a degree in law so if some fellow Finns need help about drug related issues.
 
Hi MrRoot! I'm from Finland too and I'm just getting a degree in physics...

The withdrawal symptoms are milder with long-acting benzos (diazepam) than with short-acting ones(alprazolam, triazolam, etc...) . When someone has to withdraw from benzos in hospital, the doctors always change all the benzos the patient is using to long-acting ones, and the taper the dose down.

I actually have a legal question... In my new apartment there's a no smoking rule and there's no balcony. If the neighbors notice that I smoke in an open window, trying to get all the smoke outside, can I be legally kicked out of the apartment because of that?
 
Hi polymath!
The practice depends on the place you live and actually depends more on what the landlord allows you to do inside your rented apartment as you are actually smoking inside the apartment. For example in Helsinki smoking on a window is okay if the landlord allows it whatever the other rules might say. But in Tampere for example people have been kicked out from their apartments for smoking on window even if the landlord allows smoking inside. No one has taken those yet to a Korkein Oikeus (supreme court) so no legislative examples yet that would effect the whole country.

As with all the law related questions there are no clear answers :)
 
^^ The walls of my apartment have just been painted anew before I move there and they probably don't want someone making brown tobacco smoke stains on the new paint... The landlord has a rule that people who have moved in the building before 2010 can smoke in their apartments but those who have moved after that, can't. That's kind of unfair... :(

I really hate the new restrictions on smoking... You can't even smoke at your home... I think the problem of nicotine addiction should be tackled by scientific addiction research and not by arbitrary restrictions.

^^ You can buy canned reindeer meat from grocery store over here, but it's expensive, it costs over $7 per can... Tuna is $0.8 per can.

I know. I ate some reindeer in helsinki. Its rather good, but I rather eat sausage and drink beer in the sauna.
 
^^ There's nothing like eating good sausage and drinking beer while watching football or ice-hockey on tv. So you've been to Finland? I suppose you're from USA... I've been to New York and Florida and it's so weird how everything looks so damn big in the states... The malls and the hotels are like three times as big as in Finland...
 
Proud Finn, been living in the USA my whole life. I go to Finland when the opportunity arises to visit my family. I love it there.

Beer + Sauna, you cant go wrong :)

yeah i travelled turku and helsinki and some of the archipelago about a decade ago. and beautiful but expensive place with an amazing standard of living.
 
Lets see what happens to our amazing standard of living after these parlamential elections as the new right wing party has gained third place and is nearly as big as the two biggest parties. Of course there are 9% of votes still to be counted but it cannot change the results so much that they wont be third biggest party.
 
^^ I was shocked by how many places the True Finn party got in the parliament... Being conservatives, they probably have very strict attitudes towards gay people, drug users, and other minorities... I dislike that.

I voted for social democrats.
 
Yes they are against needle changing clinics, birth control pills for minors gay marriages and substitute programs done outside the clinics. Also they are against immigrants and try to get restriction to drive when you are on all triangle medications.

Also they call for more strict policy for punishing drug criminals and want lifesentence to be real life long sentence instead of 15 years.

And they are anti EU.
 
My mom was telling me all about this today. Not good! Especially since Ive had the idea of moving to Finland sometime in the future for years. Things are definately changing for the worst.

This is why I would never move to the UK. Their drug laws are more fucked than the US.

I imagine most of north-western Europe is the same way.
