Nurse doesnt want mw to go into DTs im in detox and reha .Been on a saline/thiamine/other stuff drip. Usually I'd detox at home but I had chest pain and mh problems so I basically slipped triage and was put in the acute.medicine unit.now I'm here at gastro ward>5. Been treat like royalty a needed

I don't think they will give you narcos you will definitely get some form of Xanax though. There going to be monitoring your levels so you don't have a stroke.

If your at like a detox center your not getting any opiates lol. Sorry for the bad news.

^^ yeah pretty much mate that's kinda what I'm was expecting to here. I may ask for alp though. Also the med I'm on is a benzo for wd. Wish I could write this in more positive fashion but benzo tend to make.writing hard like "et1zolam.not wrking"

"Did they give you anything good?"

Get like a kolonopin and a gabapentin that would be chill. Good luck with your alcohol detox.

Here in Tennessee you get IM thiamine (vitamin B1) & chlordiazepoxide (Librium) if you're in DTs or close to it. Then just caps of Librium for a couple of days, maybe some baclofen if you ask for it.

(edit) Definitely no opioids, ever. Not for alcohol WD.

GHB, but you can forget about gettin that for Alcohol WD.
They used to use GABA-b, like GHB especially, for GABA-b WD s.
But now its Diazepam. A GABA-a medication ?

Which does little but soften things out. Warning Mg. Hydro-Oxide is not:
a Mg. supplement, might they give you that, its a laxative !

Though Xyrem/ GHB, in-patient would be the best tapering/ cessation med.
Maybe if needed something to stop seizure s. Like a ...

That’s dumb. They’re already giving you Librium and by your own account treating well. They won’t give you anything better and you should be grateful for what you have.

I’m really NOT a fan of trying to manipulate doctors to get drugs you don’t need/just for fun. It absolutely sucks that drugs are illegal and I think adults should be able to put whatever they want in their bodies, but when people act like this, it makes it harder for those of us who legitimately need controlled drugs to get them.

It’s not ethical behaviour. You could also end up blacklisted if you keep pushing doctors for narcotics.
