Hi, I have become everything I have always hated, aka I have become a cliché
Since I was 17 now, early 30's I was always interested in the intelligent/smarter drug use, its culture, etc. you know what I mean, succesful student (who had untreated ADD/anxiety)/psychonaut who would do LSD, shrooms, dxm powder, pcp, and obviously tons of weed, as awesome weed is more plentiful than wood around here, eh. Psychedelics helped me overcome, or so I thought, anxiety and ADD, which they did somehow, and I did obtain a degree in networking and another in chemistry (both BA's), but I never really worked more than for 6 months, since I was plagued with trigeminal neuralgia since about 2005, which is triggered by anxiety etc. Once I was fed DOB blotters around that year, and I had psychosis and didn't feel like myself until way late in my chemistry BA,I was getting by, but acting like a robot etc. because I was soon put on xanax .5mg x 2 a day, then it was Rivoril 1mg X2 a day then X3 then X4, then 2mg X 4 a day then....
I got sick of feeling like that. Emotionless, everyone thought I was a weirdo, all the tricks I had managed to learn from real psychedelics (fuck DOB, it is shit and really ruined me for some time, it is NOT worth a shit, at least, when you have it thinking it is LSD) I wasn't able to apply in real life life anymore which helped me to cope and somehow even love all human beings, even those I totally think are wastes of flesh now, and the pain problems would not be addressed by doctors appropriately other than with clonazepam, which has some value in nerve pain somehow (it's true, check it out).
So after 2 years of disability and idiotic doctors putting me on neurontin which made me feel even dumber during my DOB related psychosis, then Topamax, which made me feel like I had a full frontal lobotomy and didn't do shit for pain, then Tegretol, which turns out, I was allergic to and almost developed Stevens-Johnson Syndrome from, and also did make me feel dumb, but to a lesser degree than the previously mentioned anti-epileptics, I found a guy that was selling some opiates, at first it was Oxycontins 40mg, which i would split in 4 and just 10mg at a time of crisis would help. For about 2008 to 2010 it's all I would take, rarely and I felt better, and did actually manage to find a job that didn't drug test me (it's a bit more rare in canada companies do so, most of american tests would be illegal here). But then I was dumped by a woman I loved out of nowhere, for no valid reasons.
Since then, the trigeminal neuralgia got worse HARDCORE. And my Oxy guy started to not have oxycodone for sale ever, which sometimes was oxycontin 10-20-40mg or sometimes Supeudol 20mg (canadian Sandoz made oxy IR). So all he had was Dilaudid, which, as we all know is completely worthless orally and just okay when snorted.
So in spring 2011 I picked up the needle, sometimes, I would inject a 4mg brand name dilaudid every time i would have a pain crisis. Then, yeah, I gotta admit I also loved how it made me feel. So it became not regular, but a little more than just once a week. Then this summer it became a 32 to 56mg IV thing. Everyday. I managed to stop myself about twice with ADD meds, which I gave in and decided would put me out of the daze those anticonvulsants I had used for years put me in. Which they did by the way, the DOB psychosis went away in 2008, I'd say, just with the help of benzos. Which was 2 x1 10mg Valium a day since summer 2010 and Dexedrine, which helped me gain my brains back, sort of.
Today I have left the alcoholism/drug abuse detox where I chose to go to, in my remote shit northern canada city (it's about the 10th largest and last metro area of canada to give you an idea). They don't have methadone clinics here. They throw all kinds of drug abusers together. Seeing piece of shit alcoholics who are 55 who seem to enjoy being there for the free food, little idiotic cunts in their early 20's claiming cocaine withdrawal was just as bad or worse than my problem ( I was the only person there who was an opiate "abuser", these people have really no fucking idea how INHUMAN opiate withdrawal is)...just like BENZO withdrawal. Because apparently, methadone is SO DANGEROUS that those mere 20mg of valium i was taking a day for anxiety since 3 years were SUPER DUPER DANGEROUS to mix with methadone, they cut me to 10mg valium a day...and next week, and tomorrow i'm falling to 5mg a day, then the week after 2.5.....Let's be serious here, it is A LOT MORE dangerous to play with me like this and cut me from 20 to 10mg of valium a day. Maybe if they did 20 to 15, then 10 to 5. But no, TOO DANGEROUS. Also, same thing as if I had chosen subs, which aren't free which is why I have not chosen to take, unfortunately.
Here I am in my 2 room and a toilet apartment, too expensive, alone, with papers to bring, not the pharmacy which is just in front of my apartment, methadone scripts and everything else they scripted me before leaving (the mere valium 5mg of valium a day script, ibuprofen, fiorinal (5 whoppin caps) for my headaches), clonidine, oh and also only 30mg of methadone which I thought was at least convenient to have, but no, they don't have methadone syrup there, I have to go another pharmacy which is 10 mins on foot to go to,for 3 months, after that I get so called "privileges where I will be able to bring some home (a week's worth I think), that pissed me off so badly just before I left, I was informed of this. Can't wait to walk there during -30 celcius january days). I was started at 15mg....then was titrated to 25..in 6 days, BECAUSE IT IS SO HARDCORE, YOU MIGHT DIE!oneoneeleven. I hated my stay there, I hate methadone, which is weird, maybe if i had only levo-methadone, i'd like it, but the d-methadone and it's NMDA antagonism is not helping the depersonalization I'm feeling from the benzo tapering. I'm hating life. I'm yelling at everybody and I every single thing that irritates me, does so several times more now.
I have become a clichéd, methadone junkie. I haven't even seen heroin in my life in person. Is it normal I want to die ?
