Have you ever used street drugs to self medicate for pain?

when I was in a car accident at the beginning of the year they sent me home with scripts for Vicodin ES and Percocets. They had me on Morphine while I was in the hospital. The Vics and Percs didn't quite work as well for me as the pods I ordered over the internet. I'd often just use the pods and skip the pills, but this was at the beginning of the year when it was easy to get good pods.

I've also self medicated with black tar heroin but that was more for anxiety/depression relief, and because I got addicted to the pods but they were really hard to get and way too expensive for awhile..... all this led to Suboxone, Thank God.
 
Yeah, Kind of.
Never bought an opiate off the streets, 'cause I never had to.
But. I have used weed occasionally. It's damn super for nerve pain.
Not a big fan of smoking, due to weak lungs.
Would cook the weed in alcohol, to make a tincture. A few spoonfuls would pack quite a punch.

Thank you for this real life insight.

Morphine wont even touch my pain anymore. It makes me fall asleep way before my pain is gone. It does not help me function.

Methadone makes my heart hurt and kidneys hurt a little, but its probably not just the Methadone but the other drugs I am using for my auto-immune conditions.

I am trying to be patient and make the correct decision, ruling out a spincter of odi disorder before getting the gallbladder out, as this would WORSEN a spincter of odi condition rather than cure it.....but I am in so much pain, and they are trying to ween me off.

I think my specialist knows how much pain I am in, and nobody else does. I need to beg my specialist to tell my other docs to give me the drugs I need to get me through the next few months while we determine what surgery is best for me.

I think I would rather die than be in this much pain unmedicated. Before killing myself however, I think I will at least try self medicating first. Its dangerous, but its worth it for some semblance of a normal life......Ideally I can be cured with surgery, but I will be WORSE if they do the wrong surgery. I dont know why these assholes are in such a hurry to ween me off drugs, right before we finally get close to choosing a treatment. The timing couldnt be worse.

If I get the wrong surgery and my pain never goes away, its pretty safe to say that my life will be ruined unless I am permanently on drugs. There is no point to life if you are in that much pain. Withdrawals you can get past, but if the pain never goes away then whats the point of being off drugs? I cant function or enjoy life constantly in pain. I dont understand what they think they are saving me from.


Please note: I am not there yet. I still hope I can get the care I need from the professionals, possibly get the RIGHT surgery and not be in pain, and I would self medicate with pods or street drugs before doing anything more drastic. Experiencing this pain forever is simply not an option.

Damn, sorry to hear your in this much pain.
Can the specialist not just refer you to a VERY compassionate pain doc.
Surely he knows someone that fits this description.
At any rate, I hope you come to some resolve.

I just caught myself and remembered that talking about prices is not allowed. Considering I only need 20mg a day to really help me, while I need 90mg morphine + 90mg oxycodone to get comparably relief, this would probably be a cost effective option off the street.

I wont ask for prices though as sourcing is clearly against the rules.
