New to joining not new to BL

[Madhatter841]

Hello all. I am new to joining but not new to Blue Light. I am 31..and have had my share of problems, as we all have. Opiates/opioids got me at a fairly young age(15). Due to a pretty bad broken wrist I was prescribed Darvocet and Vicodin. It was on that first pill of Vicodin that I became physchologically addicted and it impacted me that strongly. Right after that injury I had my wisdom teeth cut out, with complications and this time percocet and Lortab were prescribed on several occasions and that was all she wrote... Started using Opium and graduated to oxycodone 30s, morphine IR, dilaudid methadone... That lasted a little over 10 years and I've done pretty good on suboxone maintenance for the last 4 years(24mg a day) as far as opioids go. Pot, benzos, RCs and crack filled the gaps.... Anyway, just wanted to say hi.

Welcome & hello as I too am not new to BL but a new member & although I've long been an advocate for entheogens & sacred plant psychedelics guy... Yet I was whacked with 2 horrid accidents that lead to Dr sanctioned use of opioids for serious nerve damage etc. So I hear you, & judge not, I get the way these things change one's course no matter where or how strongly you stand. I hope not to misuse the thread but wished to just touch on a couple things...in relation to your comments.

I've had a real bout however in finally getting off amitriptilyne (SSRi) which years ago I was assured that this was not physically addictive, which we should all know now is not the case.

In prepping for high dose psychedelic therapy I found that these anti-d's "SSRi"'s are very problematic with some of the paths my Dr's (Dr's w/shamanic intent; including a cancelled trip to the Amazon of Peru) wanted to be open to me. I am so glad every other anti-d my body rejected at the time based on this battle alone...though I hope others are helped by them if so introduced. Now I've tapered this Ssri for years it is hitting me this month as the last of those pills are done with & I really have had a tough go of withdrawal & cannot imagine ridding myself from my pain med despite I've still serious pain issues.

Ibogaine or Iboga root is said to not just be an amazing "one-heartedness" psychedelic effect but can limit or eliminate opiate withdrawal. I am not a " get off those pain meds" unless one no longer needs them even then its I believe one's choice. Please take care, peace, safe journeys all... S

BL Admins: please guide me if I am not best using threads like this by my comments scope...thx
