Now, I have had a recent alcohol relapse. I have managed to get my hands on four 10mg valiums. They will help for a small amount of time. I have always had bad withdrawal from alcohol.

I have a lot of 60mg Di-Hydracodeines (about a hundred) I have never had a problem with opiates.

My question is will they help at all with the effects of alcohol withdrawal? My brain is surging with adrenaline atm (as happens with alcohol withdrawal)... still feeling a lot of the symptoms despite a 10mg valium dose. Now i only have another three 10mg valli's left so I have to ration them out.

Will the di-hydrocodiene help with getting me through the alcohol withdrawal. I have dabbled in opiates and they aren't my cup of tea. This should only last around 3 days from my previous experiences. I get bad symptoms... i just want to avoid a hospital trip after a seizure.

I just cannot pick up another bottle, won't let myself do it.

They are 60mg slow release tablets... and i have about a hundred. I just want to know if they will ease the symptoms of withdrawing from alcohol.

I know i shouldn't replace the booze with another drug but I am not keen on opiates, tried heroin, didn't like it too much... to overpowering. Tried oxys, again i didn't like it.

Also how much is a sensible dose to take? They are slow release so i don't wanna find in two hours I've taken too much.
 
I mean by a sensible dose... so i can feel it but my eyes aren't too pinned and also the chance of reducing alcohol withdrawal symptoms.

I cannot face another hospital visit. Also, i need to reduce the awful anxiety associated with alcohol withdrawal... it drives me to do things that hurt myself and my family. I currently cannot find any medical help for two weeks... i refuse to keep drinking for two weeks and i am unable to control bringing myself down with small amounts. I will go crazy and drink the lot.

I know this isn't the ideal situation but it's all i have to help atm.
 
the painkillers may make you feel a little better but benzos are the only thing to use to safely withdrawal from alcohol
 
well... from previous experiences i hadnt drank enough to go into seizures. This was a relapse after 6 months of complete sobriety. I cold turkied the first day and got no where near as unwell as i used to - basically if i was going to have a seizure i would have by now. I wasnt throwing up or having severe withdrawal symptoms.

I know it sounds stupid but I need to get high to lower my anxiety levels. They are so extreme when i withdraw from alcohol that I have to lower them in order to keep myself safe.

Now I'm on day 2. Tomorrow I will be day 3. By day 4 I should be back to base line.

I have taken tramadol before in does of 300-400mg (usually staggered and i was well out of it.) If i take codeine phosphate I would normally take around 300mg.

What is a safe dose of di-hydrocodiene - enough to chill me out. Remembering these are slow release (don't know if that makes any difference.)

I just have to keep myself safe in terms of my mental health through this at the minute. I don't have a lot of valium so i am only using small amounts to stave off the initial physical symptoms... and i am well passed the point where i could seizure now - the only chance of a hospital visit is if i overdose on everything in the house when i cannot see passed the addict inside.

I have taken 240mg (of dihydrocodeine) - should that be enough? Like i said it's slow release so im not really feeling it yet.

Well, got the dose right... feeling itchy and starting to nod. Surprisingly small amount of nausea.

Ima leave it at that - no point swapping one problem for another. Gonna get myself back to AA tomorrow.

If you fall off the horse you get back on and fookin ride it again. Even if it did take a bit of chemical help.

Thanks for your help guys - you helped save me from a real dark place. And atleast i've not gone back on a bender and realised i spent £500 on coke.

Nighty night - gonna be fun night.. i always have really wierd lucid dreams on opiates.
 
Well im through the worst! No seizures and a boot load of DHC left... it really did help with the anxiety side of things. Also... and i know it isnt a substitute it does help with sleeping but ive only used it once since to get some rest (ima be an insomniac for a while after this)

Anyways... i prolly wont be back for a while. I'm kicking the lot. Caused me too much trouble between party drugs and chronic alcoholism. Back to AA for me!
