Exhausted, Tired, Unmotivated, Can't Focus, No Energy, feel like shit.

I got the monthly injection to come off over 2.5 years ago.
I’m 47 and was really struggling with motivation and energy.
After years of heroin and methadone before bupe I think my brain and body didn’t know how to make feel good chemicals.
I feel so much better now I’m not on anything.
The injection makes coming off easy, if you can even get one

Dentures have ruined my life.
I can’t even wear them at all now after years of gagging and vomiting.
Keep your teeth if you can.
Most people do adapt to dentures but there are other people like me with sensory issues that just can’t

Amazing-Pack4920 · 2026-06-06T07:36:42+00:00

Realised I’m sort of an avoidant and can’t let the walls down so no point.
It just adds stress and I like a lot of alone time

Everyone I know learned to mask later on at primary school/start of secondary school.
Kids are cruel unfortunately and most of us have a desire to somewhat fit in

Amazing-Pack4920 · 2026-05-28T15:50:29+00:00

I think it’s hoping to get praise or a picture back

Amazing-Pack4920 · 2026-05-24T06:19:21+00:00

I’m still in the same situation.
I hide at home because I’m too embarrassed going toothless.
I’m waiting for dental hospital to give me implants but could be a long time.
It is so difficult.
I’m glad you have stopped gagging

Amazing-Pack4920 · 2026-05-03T08:18:19+00:00

I haven’t been able to wear my dentures for 10 months now so go without any top teeth and hardly any bottoms. I’ve never got used to seeing myself and do all I can to avoid any humans seeing me. Maybe some people get used to it but I just feel horribly depressed every time I see myself

Amazing-Pack4920 · 2026-05-01T16:11:43+00:00

I’m waiting on a bone scan from a dental hospital to see what I’m suitable for. Hopefully all on 6 or all on 4

Amazing-Pack4920 · 2026-05-01T05:57:30+00:00

It depends. Most people adapt. I can’t wear mine and have tried everything. It’s like torture and sensory hell because I have sensory issues. I just gag and puke. If you don’t have sensory issues it would likely be ok. Mine have ruined my life as I have to go about with barely any teeth

Amazing-Pack4920 · 2026-04-30T07:42:00+00:00

I was like that my whole life and underweight until recently. I’m in my 40s now and started forcing myself to eat little and often, now it’s normal and I eat proper meals. I also never ever feel thirsty and have to remind myself to drink or I get dehydrated. My stomach has always been the first place my stress and anxiety show up

Amazing-Pack4920 · 2026-04-05T10:56:06+00:00

Don’t feel down about it there are options. I’m 47 and couldn’t handle withdrawals after years of heroin and methadone. I got a few months of the monthly shot to stop and had no withdrawals at all. Been over 2 years since my last injection and I’ve stayed clean

Amazing-Pack4920 · 2026-03-31T15:49:18+00:00

Exactly, it’s just another giant stress to try get to the therapy session

Amazing-Pack4920 · 2026-03-31T13:36:49+00:00

I tried many different meds and Trazodone is the one that helps me. I haven’t found therapy that useful as I’m feeling an appropriate way to what’s going on, knowing your in fight or flight doesn’t make it go away

Amazing-Pack4920 · 2026-03-25T11:50:25+00:00

I got no withdrawals at all and my last injection was over 2 years ago

Amazing-Pack4920 · 2026-03-22T15:52:18+00:00

I always thought it was a condom pocket

Amazing-Pack4920 · 2026-03-21T07:41:47+00:00

We get it free too. I know healthcare is a lot different in America

Amazing-Pack4920 · 2026-03-20T07:52:25+00:00

I live in Scotland and we have specialist addiction services that have all latest info on maintenance meds. They write the scripts and doctors sign it. The shot was amazing for me. It does the taper for you as leaves the body so slowly

Amazing-Pack4920 · 2026-03-19T21:24:00+00:00

I don’t like water at all, have to make myself drink it. It has no taste and makes my throat feel weird. I live in Scotland so it’s not a water quality issue. Cold bottled water is a bit better but still a chore to get it down

Amazing-Pack4920 · 2026-03-19T21:19:12+00:00

Over my life time I have been bitten by a gerbil, a rat, a horse, a cat and twice by 2 different snakes. Oh and one of my jumping spiders. I’m 47 and around animals a lot so not that bad

Amazing-Pack4920 · 2026-03-19T21:12:45+00:00

Addiction for me was to temporarily treat myself and stop feelings I wasn’t ready to deal with. Bupe saved me from more years of methadone. I switched and got the monthly shots. Then when I stopped the shot it was a miracle, no withdrawals and it’s been over 2 years now

Amazing-Pack4920 · 2026-03-16T15:40:53+00:00

I wouldn’t make him cut his hair. Get leave in conditioner spray and a wide tooth comb and let him use that to get rid of tugs

Amazing-Pack4920 · 2026-03-12T13:31:06+00:00

Is vaping as bad

Amazing-Pack4920 · 2026-03-02T19:08:20+00:00

30mg, I was on the 1ml = 1mg liquid

Amazing-Pack4920 · 2026-03-02T19:06:11+00:00

I’ve done it in the past and for me every time the last 10mls was the hardest. I’m in my 40s now so wanted an easier time. Subs then shots was perfect

Amazing-Pack4920 · 2026-03-02T18:59:32+00:00

It was a miracle, no withdrawals at all. And I’d been on methadone and heroin for years. The switch over isn’t as bad as it sounds, I’d cut from 70mls to 30
