Hey girl...don't let any individual(s) drive you away from MH. There are so many wonderful folks here for support...no judgment. I'm not sure what is going on, but you deserve to be treated with kindness and respect. I ditto Meeg above, here to support you!
Sending you prayers!
Think I'm going to leave this forum. There ARE nice people that are lovely and supportive but still too many from past posts who talk down to me and make me feel like I'm dreading some comments ppl will tell me. And I don't think it's right cz I come here for care and support nothing else. I'm lonely as it is without ppl lecturing me. Especially when they don't even know what they're talking about . Gd luck to u all and thanks to those who were kind to me.
There's no Tylenol it's dihydrocodeine ... Xx
What exactly is it you take again? And what mg's? Is it tylenol number #3 with 30mgs of codiene? If so the bloody acetaminophen is going to kill your liver soon. If you cant bring yourself down atleast ask your doc for something w/o the tylenol in it.
I just want a more normal life. Fed up with myself and letting myself down day in day out. Depleted. Just depleted.
Hey guys. Not doing so well :( iv relapsed many times and eventhough I have aftercare nothing seems to be helping. I'm thinking mayb subutex is the way to go - to keep me from using. Some days it's been up to 28 a day. I'm so depleted and exhausted with hoping this will sort itself alone. Which is my reason for which I'm leaning towards subs. Iv spoken to am addiction doctor who was once an ordinary doctor but specialises in addiction and treatment for addiction, and iv spoken to my main doctor who's been prescribing the dihydrocodeine for my taper. They BOTH agree I should go on subs as it's safer than the load of DHC I put in my body each day and it would stop all the stress and guilt I'm putting on myself. I know many on this forum don't like subs but in my case it may b the thing that puts an end to my obsession.
how you doing lola? be careful no matter what you do and make sure your health issues come first. as long as you got that covered, I support you in all you do!!! nice to see you posting :)
Drugs flip our Brain wiring and there is so much up there. Between hormones, receptors, chems, transmitters, that this is what will take time..Believe me it took me over a couple of yrs for my brain to flip right..The mental will not hurt you, but it is hard to understand as you feel new feelings. You soon come around and all feels good. The reason it took me so long is because I have been using for 40yrs off & on and I got clean when I was 56 back in 2012. The Dr said it would take time and it did. IT MIGHT NOT for you, but just know the mental could be part of the detox. Those happy chems get knocked down and drugs block the Seritoin receptors so you are not making as much and it does not recycle like it should. Many other chems do the same.. It WILL all FIRE up soon. Just keep going forward and stay in the light..Get ALL the SUPPORT you can..As you grow new things come up and it is good to share at a meetings. Others way before will understand what you are going threw. I wish you the best and good luck.
I was on the site helping others every single day for over 2yrs as my MH Family helped me get through some sad times. Just got back from a Heart procedure again and I am feeling better. SO I missed your other post.
Bless
Yes I will be in aftercare. I'm just so sad, drained and depressed about even a seconds thought of it. There's no other choice to be had :( feel so low these days (until I take my med doses but that's only a temp relief from my thoughts and heartache)...
Good deal! Ya the subs aren't a get out of recovery free card. But neither is tapering. You're still going to have anxiety etc..with the taper. So make sure you're in aftercare.
Congrats on your decision!! I think you made the right choice. Good luck with the taper, I could never do that, it was all or nothing for me. Your a strong woman!! Good Luck!~Sherry
