Hi guys,
I have been off all drug since couple months ago(i i am not considering the occasional line of what ever)î
Never really had an issue with drugs except crack and heroin, Crack easy for me to let go because it was only mental.
Heroin on the other hand was much much much harder to get off it.Mostly due to the physical pain.
I was never good at keeping time but I would say for about 3 years i have been on and off opioids
I was on MAT with methadone, then 6mg suboxone. Never really followed the doctors instructions as i know the dangers of long acting opiods, I have quit coldturkey 3 times. First it was a normal cold turkey and as you can imagine it was hell(i was coming off of 1g of 80%purity heroin). Second time i said 14 days of hell is too much so i took mg suboxone and the opioids to go into precipitated withdrawals.
I can say it worked but the amount of pain i experience was insane. My brain started hallucinating jst to not feel the pain anymore but it kinda work.
I dont know, like 6 months into being clean a friend bought some opiods and i said what the heck, I knew i was going through Post Acute Withdrawals Symptoms but i figured that i am out of all dangers by that time. So i took pretty big doses of opiods for like a week a 48h hours i felt like shit. Mostly fatigue lack of motivation, etc
My Psychiatrist recommended me to go to ER if i feel bad(lol) and she has a very noticeable bias towards substance use. I wont go into the phylosophy around this but seems expected since Romnia is a comunist country with very old curicullum and tons of judgements, mostly religious.
I cant say i blame her for her ignorance on the matte. I am 100%sure she thinks what she s saying isgood but whatever.
Now she prescripbed me the followingȘ
75mg pregabalin(usually i was taking 300)
150ug clonidine x3 per day(need to go to a family doctor to get that(
Diazepam 10 x 2 times a day
Seroquel 200mg XR at night
DEPAKINE CHRONO 500MG(this worries me as i dont have epylepsy or convulsions so any information on the matter would be helpful)
She recommended me a clinic in Bucharest, howver it seems odd since I have absolutely 0 desire to consume opiods. I actually have a couple of 80mg oxy and 8mg dilaudid lying around and i never thought i want to take them. My only issue was a week of fun while on PAWS whichi ckinda set me back.
The ER recommendation was also shocking since by feeling bad i mean fatigue and lack of motivation
Doctors in the NL were much more in touch with current scientific perpers and seeems to actually know what they are talking about. They also prescribed me ritalin and then vyvanse for being able to manage my dayt day
Can someone give me some info on how this would hep with my situation? DEPAKINE CHRONO 500MG
I also received an ultimatum from my psychiatrist that if i dont call that addiction clinic she wont see me no more and truthfully now i am extremly functional. Even on drugs i was a functionala addict but right now i dont use anything(thats why the withdrawals from that weekend)
Can you please provide more info into Depakine and the help with managing withdrawals?
Ca you put your 2 cents on my conversation with the doctor? MO eems quite condenscending and judgemntal considering that objectively i make more momey then her and i am more productive(drugs or no drugs)
My goal is to be drug free
