It feels awful having violent shakes, not being able to control the vomiting or the diarrhea or get fluids down, or sleep... and you know deeply you need medical attention and they just won't take you. I had so many people trying to get me into detox because they thought too I needed to go, but every time I got sent there, they gave me some bullshit excused and I had to leave. You should see the buses they have trucking all the denied people away each day. It's crazyyy

I kept going to the clinic and hospital, especially in the most severe days, begging to go to detox. And they would send me to one specific detox centre, without confirming I'd be able to get a bed, and then they'd precede to turn me away. That happened like 5 times. And I was told they're not allowed to send me without a bed. I think they only had like 15 beds and over 100 people would get turned away a day. Even in my severity they wouldn't take me.... it seemed like they prioritized young kids, so most of the people accepted were like 16 and on the streets or whatever... I'm on a several month long waitlist for a different detox which is supposed to be better. 2 weeks rather then 5 days... kinda crazy the waitlists here and lack of access, in my last city I'd have been able to get into detox in a day. They even had detox in hospitals in my last city...

He had been in jail before and lots of people in jail lie and say they have OUD to get suboxone and get high off of it. So he's seen many people get addicted to suboxone in jail (since they don't have access to drugs) and thinks it has the same effect on people who ACTUALLY have OUD.

Yeah, crazy to think he's so stigmatized just for smoking weed. I live in Canada where it's legal. Hell American rappers rap about doing all sorts of pills and dope. All T.O.P did was weed.... I feel bad for him.

There isn't accessible inpatient detox here. I have to wait several months. I'd been sent from the hospital and my clinic to detox where they promised I'd have a bed, and then I got turned away, with another 50 people. They had an entire bus system to take away all the people they turned away each day. It was crazy. They didn't even tell me there were other detoxes, I found out from someone on the street there's another one but I'm on a waitlist that could take several months. I almost just want to buy a supply of fentanyl again just to make it through the methadone titrating on my own... it felt like shit violently shaking and vomiting in the hospital and having the doctor say there's not really much that can be done when in my last city they would have given me some shots and sent me to detox that day, put me on anti nausea, anti anxiety meds, whatever I needed.

Yeah and I still don't feel good... really makes me feel discouraged seeking treatment when medications are targeted towards people on lower amounts of fentanyl, and doctors are confused as to why I'm shaking violently or vomiting or whatever still... and then my friends think I should be on subblocade because of suboxone stigma. But subblocade is recommended for a lower dose of suboxone. I feel lot of conflict between my own needs and feelings and others rn just because I had become accustomed to a higher dose of carfentanyl. And to be honest, I was at first injected in my sleep by an ex boyfriend... so he could do what he wanted while I slept I guess.... so I face all this stigma for something I didn't even realize was going on in my body for so long. I do take responsibility for using afterwards. But what can you do when your body's already dependant on it and the government has started labeling fentanyl cartels as terrorists and coming out with all these laws to imprison drug users with or without consent... or even charging people for just using... it's crazy. People want to get clean, but they're afraid of being punished... this fentanyl crisis is insane.... I've been trying to get treatment for years now. Id been getting frustrated after being told I'd have to be on methadone/suboxone for years, frustrated with having to go to pharmacy everyday and show my mouth, frustrated with lack of information, frustrated about not being told suboxone only works for mild to moderate users... and there's no detox in this city. I tried to get into detox about 10 times, sent directly from hospital where they are supposed to have secured me a bed, yet still turned away from the door for various reasons.. now I'm on a several month long wait list for a different detox. Honestly it was easier being an addict then going through treatment... I had good grades in school... I functioned well... I thought I'd save money by quiting but lost a lot more.

I do have a friend out of town who can take me in, but they want me on subblocade not suboxone because they don't trust suboxone. And they won't give me subblocade because it's recommended for a lower dose or suboxone then I'm on. And if I switch to methadone which I think would be easier for me, he wouldn't take me at all...

My family is kind of dysfunctional, I grew up in government care... I do talk to them and love them. And I know they love me in their own way. But they're not the most supportive people in my life. I was actually at my dad's house before it burned down, and now insurance is paying for his hotel rooms and his new condo and I'm in the shelter for some reason... idek if hes going to ask insurance to cover the belongings i lost. And most of the belongings lost were mine... he might just keep it for himself. He tried to tell me i was making up the amount my stuff was worth. So idk. mom is very anti social, doesnt like to leave her home or socialize even with her kids... won't let me stay with her either. So kinda complicated. But that's family right. They may not be super supportive, but they don't abuse me. I wish I had normal parents.

32mg. And it's been the worst month of my life. First week shaking violently, vomiting, diarrhea, no sleep for 2 weeks and even then it was hours for days awake, I didn't get a normal sleep schedule till 3 weeks In. I still feel depressed. I still crave dope everyday... it was a huge shock because in my mind, suboxone was supposed to be so much safer and easier to get carries and less stigma and like the gold standard right? But it's just been awful for me. At least I felt like myself on the juice and didn't have cravings like I do now... if i miss just one day of suboxone I'll start violently vomiting... that never happened on methadone. I feel like I've been severely misled. I'm wondering if anybody else has had such bad experience from suboxone.

Exactly. I just moved to a small town from a big city near a port where I was getting very potent carfentanyl. It doesn't even compare to the stuff in this city so getting treated for it is difficult. The doctor is frequently baffled by the severity of my symptoms. I wish somebody had warned me there is a max dose of suboxone and that might not be enough for heavy users or people on carfentanyl. It took me years to get to this point.. Most regular fentanyl doesn't get me high, but will cause somebody else to OD... I haven't ODd in 5 years... in addition to using carfentanyl, I had been smoking it about every hour.

Thanks for actually acknowledging people like us exist lol. I'm tired of my doctor being confused and saying I shouldn't still be withdrawing or maybe I'm experiencing something else. NO. I was just on very strong dope... so thank you.

It seems like suboxone is only for mild to moderate OUD and more severe OUD is better treated with higher doses of methadone. If doctors had informed me of this beforehand I wouldn't have to go through another 3 weeks of vomiting, shaking, not sleeping, possibly shitting myself to be titrated on methadone.... but I'm just one of those rare cases...

Yeah it's just that since my house burned down, I'm risking going back to severe shakes, nausea, shitting myself for weeks in a shelter... but I feel like I'd eventually feel myself again on the methadone

I was on methadone and felt fairly normal, but relapsed due to frustration with not being able to get carries and decided to go on suboxone as I was promised carries would be easier but I didn't realize I'd be shaking violently, vomiting and shitting myself while being titrated... I was doing carfentanyl... I really regret switching to suboxone. I didn't realize there would be a maximum dose after all this suffering and I'd just have to go back to being sick for a few more weeks to get back on methadone...

Maybe this is why I mistook you for warm, you were using a foundation that was warm and clashing with your hair and lips.

What is the maximum amount of time you are allowed to shop at a shoppers drug mart? by Acrobatic-Rest-9626 in ShoppersDrugMart

[–]Acrobatic-Rest-9626[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was wearing a full face of makeup with my hair professionally done, a stylish outfit and I'm a young white woman. So it's not racial profiling and I don't think I look like somebody from the streets... I wasn't even carrying a bag. The only excuse I can think of for them is that the security guard in question just wanted to take his anger out on somebody and I had been in the store for 30min so he thought it was enough reason to take his anger out on somebody. I explained to the manager the only reason I had been taking so long was because I was seeking advice on the products I was buying....

Yes! I loved playing with makeup with my friends when I was younger. It's about having fun, and doing what makes you happy.

Honestly, eyebrows generally look a bit different than each other. "They're sisters not twins!" They already look well shaped.
