What opioids are you on RIGHT NOW (Part 6)

I used 2 take gabapentin but I never knew it helped with w/d's... & I go thru VERY bad w/d's... Ugh, I gotta find something & soon but I just don't know where 2 start... In the old town every1 knew me & would just come around & approach me... Here I have no idea... I guess I could just ask ppl but haven't ran in2 any1 that just stands out if that makes any sense...

 

I know how u feel... this sux so bad!!! 4 me the depression that comes with it is the worst... & the not being able 2 sleep... & well it all sux!

 

is weed an opioid?

 

an anonymous tip might get him back...

 

My Suboxone doctor and I have temporarily decided to up my dose from 3 mg a day to 5 mg per day. The reason is because I have realized that in the last four weeks or so, my Bipolar phase of my Schizoaffective Disorder has "swung" towards the negative. I have been incredibly angry, irritable, and genuinely hateful towards people.

My doctor thinks it is that I am going into a mixed-phase-state. So he told me to up my mood stabilizer and to try more Suboxone for the time being. So instead of upping my Zyprexa, I decided to temporarily augment my regimen with Lithium Carbonate (which I have hundreds of tablets of from the past), 900 mg per day, until the mixed state goes into remission.

This is the first "bad" phase of my illness that I have encountered since I stabilized myself "for good" about a year and a half ago. It is strange because in the past, I would have been bat-shit crazy at this phase in the illness, but the medications must work well, because like I said, the worst of it has simply been an incredible feeling of irritability and hatred of people for no reason.

 

Etkearne,really sorry to hear what you are going through,that sounds pretty rough and i cant imagine,i do hope you are feeling better,it sounds like you know what to do to get things under control.

 

Well,after hitting the gabapentin really hard to fight off the withdrawals i started going downhill fast,it did carry me for days though and i have to make it till friday for refills,so i took a chance and remembered this one fella who had avinza for his painful condition,and he had a couple 90mg capsules that he could spare,they are a time release morphine,so that should hold me over,and i will also continue the gabapentin.Whew,these fentanyl patches are really rough when you run out,as most all opiates are.Hang in there everybody,i really do wish the best for you all,its a daily struggle sometimes to find time where you can relax and be comfortable.Be safe...

 

Thank you. Compared to the dozens of times that this has happened in the past (I seem to cycle every 1.5 years or so), this time is very different as I don't feel as though I have NO control over my symptoms. This time, while I can acknowledge that something is definitely wrong, I don't feel as though I just have to go along with the "roller coaster".

In the past, if I started a medication change early (like adding Lithium or upping my Zyprexa), the symptoms usually go away in a month or so, and the cycle re-starts, which gives me 1.5 years of "good" mental health. So for now, I am taking:

- 900 mg Lithium Carbonate at night
- 225 mg Effexor in morning (keeping this the same for now)
- 30 mg of Adderall IR (I am lowering this from 45 mg to 30 mg for the short-term)
- 5 mg Suboxone Film (up from 3 mg like I said - I take 2.5 at noonish and 2.5 a couple hours before bed)
- 0.75 mg Klonopin (the same for now but I may have to up this to 1.0 mg if my symptoms don't improve).

So I think things will work out fine. In fact, even just after two days of Lithium treatment, I feel noticeably less angry and on-edge.

 

hope things get better for ya etkearne. i never went to the other mental health doc,s like i am supp. to. i don,t like to be around people much at all, they just irratate me and make me mad. mabye this is part of my head, and not the people i,m around.i was better when i started my subs, but now i,m just feelin like i did before, head wise, body is good.

but today 4mgs of subs in the mor. and 2 after work. take care everyone, and like someone says, there,s better days ahead.(i wish i knew when they were coming though)..

 

People irritate me too. Especially when I'm driving, lol.

 

got the day off here and feel like hiding in the house. but it,s to nice out,ahh i,ll at least drag ma sorry ass out and get on the riding mower . me and the boys planted more flowers last night around the firepit area,got it looking nice outside this year.but anyhow took 4mgs of sub bout an half hour ago.

 

Ugh I feel like shit this morning.

Vicodin
Morphine later
Coke
Valium
Pot
Hash
Tagamet
And prolly cold medicine.

 

So far today, I had 2 mg of Suboxone around Noon. After that I cut the grass and sat outside sun-tanning for awhile, which was nice. I feel like my mind is slowly returning to normal every day now.

I will take another 3 mg of Suboxone after dinner time. So far, taking 5 mg per day has been helpful in keeping my illness at bay (plus the Lithium of course...), but damn I have had some intense NODS the last three days! It is pretty nice actually...some of the most intense opioid experiences of my life in all honesty.

 

Uh, no. I'm not really sure how weed is classified. Maybe a depressant/mild hallucinogenic.

 

Is weed an opiate!!!! Hahaha that is a AMAZING question!!!!

 

One of those things that make you go hmmmmm...

 

I popped a few vics today

 

No. But the way that Cannabis and opioids cause euphoria is by a similar mechanism, that is, disinhibition of Dopamine in the Nucleus Accumbens.

 

Weed is not an Opiod but seems to have amazing pain killing abilities in people.

i am interested in trying low dose oral hash to test out pain and function-able THC highs at some point.

 

Took a 30 MG Oxycodone, and smoking a blunt. Broke it in half, Ate half on an empty stomach, then snorted the other half ( 15mg each half ). Im sitting pretty nice right now, got an itch, and for some reason the Oxyocodone gives me some kind of energy.
