Opioids Opiates and COVID
- Thread starter Survival0200

While I rarely advocate for the use of opioids these days, the only time I allowed myself to take anything stronger than kratom was when I had covid last fall. I talked to my PCP about whether she would be open to an Rx of Tussionex. She's well aware of my history of heroin addiction and long term recovery from it. I was pretty up front about my own contemplation around this, that I've spent the last 15 years healing from my life totally falling apart, and working in addictions/harm reduction.
She actually was pro the tussionex for the main reason that with CoVID, lung injury can actually cause longer term complications. Lung injury comes from excessive, unproductive coughing, which is something CoVID seems quite adept at encouraging.
I took the tussionex as directed (though I did share some with my wife who was also in the same boat as me, minus prior history of opioid addiction) and it was a huge relief to have. Also, getting to taste that liquid gold was very nice.
