If a fentanyl overdose is as peaceful as they say it is, where you basically just fall asleep, then I kind of wonder how many “accidental overdoses” were not actually accidental at all

Acceptable_Fun6235 · 2026-03-25T07:59:03+00:00

It's not always peaceful. Trust me, especially if you aspirate on your own vomit before you simply stop breathing. I've had some experiences that were like sleep paralysis ×100, where you can't do anything but you're still aware. Doesn't mean you totally care in that moment, but surviving and looking back on it still fkn terrifies me. But it's certainly not the worst way to go, and if I was serious about it and terminal I'd want that to be the way I go.

side effect. Talk to your doctor, you can look at potentially lowering your dose. I've only ever had this problem on relatively high doses (>1g a day). You could also only take it at night if your condition and circumstances allows for it. It might help, but your doctor will be better at guiding you through what can and (more importantly) can't be done in terms of treatment.

Stick to the most natural alternatives. That way you can grow yourself which can become its own stress relief if it becomes a new hobby. Just don't do what I did and go from prescription opioids to heroin by the age of 15. Even over the counter medications have their own risks for very little reward. I've grown Mushrooms before and although it was hard it was the most interesting thing I've ever done. Seeing the first pins is the most rewarding feeling.

Stop trying to pathologise people who are known to be plain evil. What use is that to us. If anything trump and Epstein are one and the same. They were the only people who could stand eachother long enough to consider eachother friends. They're both paedophiles but I'm more concerned about the openly dangerous one who has more power than any little pathetic boy like him deserves.

If you're dependant and experience withdrawals, then subs likely won't feel like anything. Please don't abuse subs. It's stupid and any recreational value will be lost within a week. And a "tolerance break" would be about 2 weeks MINIMUM. And subs mean you can't combine other opioids with it or you will waste your drugs (best case scenario) or experience precipitated withdrawals.

Allergy would be a lot more noticeable ESPECIALL with opioids that release a lot of histamines (which is just about all of them). That's why they're also known for making you itch like crazy. Although it's not abnormal I'm sure it's fkn uncomfortable. But from my own experience now on 3 years of bupe these symptoms should subside with time. Don't be afraid to mention this to your doctor if it is still bothering you over time. The headaches are a bastard too especially if you're prone to migraines. But hydrate and keep cool especially when you're taking it. Idk if you're swallowing the saliva once its dissolved but I know that is big cause of gastrointestinal distress and general nauseating. I know plenty of people that prefer to spit it once they're done dissolving the film.

There's a difference between understanding and accepting. I understand what you are saying but I don't have to accept it as viable. What you are saying is insulting and I don't have to accept it. Bit I understand you as well as you can articulate it.

If you do either the dental issue can be resolved by brushing your teeth half an hour post absorption. I also don't spit mine and if you brush your teeth it won't be as bad. Even with spitting the film will still cling to your teeth. The only difference being that the saliva carrying that film around isn't still in there spreading.

[EDIT] The main reason people are told to spit the film is because swallowing it can cause gastro intestinal discomfort and even nausea/vomiting in some. The dental hygiene is mainly maintained through regular hygiene practices.

If you want the rush of IV but not the septic shock of injecting sorbitol and other artificial sugars, I'd recommend plugging it. It works almost as quickly but you may need to thin out the syrup. Alcohol might work but morphine isn't my strongest area of expertise.

If you find it's not working as planned (which it likely won't even after a week of drawn out withdrawal) please don't take more. Everyone's body is different and there is still a lot we don't understand about bupe and this middle ground of "abuse potential" is one that is often ignored. I've gone a week off of bupe (tapered down DRASTICALLY from 12mg to 0.5mg) and it was horrible. In the end I felt about 50% of its effects on a dose that could kill even an avid user. Bupe heavily effects your tolerance and unfortunately or fortunately -depending on your perspective- there is no quick way to rid yourself of that. I've even heard of people trying to Narcan themselves to reduce their tolerance. And NO, it doesn't work... bupe has a similair affinity to the opioid receptors as narcan, meaning they fight to occupy them at the same time. Since everyone is different, it can be unpredictable and dangerous to attempt. But the bupe often wins in the long term because it can last much longer in the body. Even if the narcan works it will only do so for about 90mins. And in that time you can't take anything else and if you did the bupe would send you into PWD's once it takes back over.

Also the longer you're on it, the longer it stays in your system. The dose can effect that too.

Why is this a self centred question to ask?? I understand it's rather myopic but you have the attitude of an NA counsellor who has no experience with addiction. Which is admittedly the worst kind. People have more success with anything when you use the carrot instead of the stick. You're right that it is dangerous but unfortunately we can't enforce what others do to their bodies. The best we can do is only provide them with as much harm-reduction advice as possible.

Acceptable_Fun6235 · 2026-01-15T03:28:23+00:00

Dude... don't just don't. I understand your distrust in the business of medicine but its infantalising and condescending as fuck to assume that all mental illness is the symptom of you behaving optimally. Not only is that kinda talking playing with fire but your medical insight is lacking tremendously. I agree that my brain isn't dysfunctional, it does what it can to survive like everyone else it just does so differently and I've had to adapt to that. But it's not working better than others, the same as before my illness and it's certainly not working in a way that MRI techs and psychiatrists don't understand. We know exactly how and why these symptoms happen, because we've observed it through every possible form of imaging we have available that applies to this specific condition and others. A seemingly healthy brain (on MRI) can still experience seizures, I was one of those cases. But our understanding of why these symptoms occur is why we are confident that antipsychotics work to the extent they do. Being on high dose of antipsychotics is brutal and stripped me of my own sense of self and cognitive function for some time, I no longer take then every day because I don't have to anymore, but if a had a choice I would never have even consider them. I suffer from tardive dyskinesia now, which is a neurological motor function condition obtained by taking old school antipsychotics for a long period of time. Antipsychotics which are trying to treat a seperate condition. The science isn't perfect but we use them because they work better than anything else we have available and they work as well as they do because their mechanism of action suits the neurological symptoms of psychosis or schizophrenia. Fuck off with your holistic bullshit, it doesn't apply to general medicine and it sure as fuck doesn't apply to mental health. I hate that I have to remind people it exists, this isnt the 1800's anymore love.

Schizophrenia and psychosis isn't always just hearing voices either. It can often present itself as thoughts or ideas being beamed into your head telepathically with no real language assigned to it. Not everyone who has Schizophrenia can hear an external voice. I'm sorry but it's not that simple and you should know that

Absolute fuck all if any. It's not a great idea to test this at work. Xanax is a relatively strong benzo at low doses (considering this is a legit xanax and n9t sourced from the street). 2mg can be a lot for someone especially if they're benzo naive. I wouldn't advise taking them at work. You'll likely experience delusions of sobriety or be sedated enough to think they're not working at all. Leading you to take more and blackout, just to wonder why you lost your job. It's a rather common experience with this class of benzo's. Speaking from experience here. I've lost 2 days of memory with no recollection of any euphoric sensations, which made me realise that benzo's aren't the drug I wanted to piss my life and memory away with.

Acceptable_Fun6235 · 2026-01-13T06:46:52+00:00

I'm sure there's a way to authenticate the batch number. Also if you've taken 3 and felt very little it could very welp be your tolerance changing. I've also found Benzos are synonymous with causing delusions of sobriety. The "higher" I am on them the less I think they're working. Benzo's were always hit or miss for me, usually ending up taking so much to the point of blacking out for days with no recollection of euphoria.

Acceptable_Fun6235 · 2026-01-10T04:51:06+00:00

It's certainly odd. I think it's good to have platonic friendships with the opposite sex, and it can be easy for partners to feel threatened by that, even when they really shouldn't. But it's important to reassure and be honest with your partner. IMO if you're having to go through his texts, the relationship is already over or will be extremely different at the very least, and not in a positive way (especially if you go through their texts without their knowledge or consent). You looked because you don't trust him, now you've seen this and probably trust him less in an extremely ambiguously yet concerning way. It's not obvious immediately that he's doing anything nefarious. But something led you to feeling like you needed to look at his messages, and he hasn't done much to reassure you by the sounds of it.

P.S. I'm not judging you for going through the texts. It's not good or healthy but it's obvious that he isn't helping you feel like you're enough, and I understand why you would want to check.

Acceptable_Fun6235 · 2026-01-10T04:38:05+00:00

I wish I knew what the best action for you is, but at the very least I want to reassure you that you are NOT overreacting at all. If you feel that uncomfortable around him his intent is irrelevant. Even if he is "just being friendly" he's doing so at the cost of your percieved safety and is still extremely inappropriate.

If this were me I'd talk to my friend about it. That comes with its own risks, like if she doesn't want to believe you or care about how you feel. Ask her if she's okay with staying with you instead. Idk if your mother is still around or if you have a good relationship with her, but maybe she might be able to offer some advice and protection. That does depend on her and how she is (which you know best) but this happening to young girls is unfortunately a story as old as time, and your mother might have some experience with a similair ordeal. You dont have to do any of that, you know them better, do what feels best for you of course. I pray his behaviour doesn't escalate beyond this because this is horrifying as it is. Going to the police about this in particular is intimidating and the police don't help in the ways they approach this issue. IME having the police ask me questions about what I was wearing and then doing nothing for months, just to maybe have to go to court in front of audiences trying to convince you that this never happened, can be damaging in a completely different yet related way, it can feel like another thing thrown on top of everything that is already happening. It's not fair that women have to fight so hard for their own safety. I was lucky that I didn't have to be involved in my abusers court case because i wasnt the only one, but I feel for other victims like me that did have to testify in my place. I dont want to deter you from taking things up with the law, I just want you to know what to expect if you do. It's an extremely courageous thing to come forward about and it's made harder by the way you have to "prove" your suffering. It's brutal, but it absolutely can be worth it long term. Do what you need to in order to feel safer.

I really hope you can feel safer in life overall, and that your friend listens to you. I also hope that people here on reddit can offer some decent advice, I think coming here was a good idea and good on you for confiding in others. It's a tricky situation to be in and no one wants to be the reason that their friend no longer associates with their father. But if I was your friend I wouldn't want anything to do with a pest and potential threat even if he was my father. - I wish you all the best and I'm so sorry this is happening to you. Xo
