I have always had severe anxiety in general, socially and panic. I have been using drugs (almost everything other than opiates, the only time I tried was on stims) for 10 years in an effort in part to battle this anxiety. I have recently had teeth extracted and have been given tylenol 3 with codeine and caffeine, and let me say, the fuckers do next to nothing for the pain, but when I take like 8+ at once without having taken any for the past 6-8 hours I get a sedative effect. This sedation is what I have been seeking with ketamine, benzos, alch etc, but i was always worried about getting a heroin addiction. So, i am not sure if the point is clear but it seems that codene helps my anxiety (but i cannot sleep or shit) and I would be interested in taking this (or somehting like it) to maintain this thwarting of my anxiety after my teeth heal. like i do not want to end up on methadone
well. can't argue with that. opiates cure what ails me too.
benzos/opiates unfortunately tend to worsen anxiety over time.
that warning's never been enough to stop me either..
however, the toxicity warning of overusing acetaminophen does.
i really need my liver working properly. so do you.
the max daily dosage of acetaminophen is 3000 mg.
taking 8 Tylenol 3's gives you 2400 mg..a massive dose at one time.
if the plan is to begin using opiates somewhat regularly..please
pay attention to the amount of acetaminophen in whatever
you're using and read up on addiction potential and physical dependence.
withdrawal goes hand in hand with regular/daily use..and withdrawal's a bitch
for everyone, but is doubly hard for those of us that suffer severe anxiety.
make no mistake..we all run out eventually...
and we all end up having to increase our dose eventually.
most will say it's a bad idea to use opiates to control anxiety..and they're right.
but i can't be quite that hypocrital...no matter how very right they are.
it's beyond difficult for most of us to give up that warm fuzzy relaxing loveliness..
and to limit our use. just know what you're getting into.
a lot of people with the best of intentions end up landing somewhere
they never wanted to be. ie: methadone maintenance, having to score dope at 3 in
the morning to avoid withdrawal, rehab..od'ing on the floor of your choice..etc.
good luck.
