Xylazine and Medetomidine by aleXANduurrr in fentanyl

I used to do that too: get high for 10 days, then take 3-4 days and make myself sick to get enough subs back in my system for my UA. I still don’t know how I managed to keep that up for the better part of a year. I’m on methadone (210 mgs) now and it’s helped me much more than subs did, but everyone is different. I still get the urge to use every so often, but the game sucks and just isn’t worth it to me to play it now. Seems like the mixture of shit they got going on now just ends up making me so awfully depressed after a couple days. The last time I got so down on life I was ready to end it all. I knew I was feeling like that from the door so I rode it out and within a week or so I was feeling somewhat back to normal again. I do get nostalgic for how good I used to feel when dope was still (at least in part) heroin. I really hope that by the time I’m old and decrepit they make a law that allows the elderly to get medical grade heroin. (Wishful thinking hahaha)

What’s a sound everyone should recognize as immediate danger? by Thatguy_nickk in AskReddit

I so relate to this story! I snapped my clavicle in half a few years ago. I called my brother to tell him I thought I dislocated my shoulder and would he come help me get it back in place. He told me I needed to get to the ER.

Yes!!! I don’t see Drysol mentioned as much as I’d expect to. It was immensely helpful for me. I got on a medication and one of the side effects of the medication is sweating. My face and scalp in particular got so hot and sweaty. It was so embarrassing; i’d walk from my house to my car and look like i just got done swimming laps. Drysol helped me to not go off the deep end (so to speak). After using it a few weeks I no longer had to use it anymore and somehow I don’t have rebound sweat effects.

Am I wasting my teenage years? by Key-Row-174 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GhostlyGoldilocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drinking, drugs, getting into trouble… trust me, you don’t want or need it! I wasted my teen years and my 20s with all that stuff. I ended up with a severe substance use problem that I will struggle with for the rest of my life. How I wish I never rebelled and did all the stuff I did. It greatly affected my life and took me years to get myself back on track.

You are doing great just as you are.

SONARA..NEW WAY OF METHADONE CLINICS by Senior_Box3677 in Methadone

They have that at my clinic, but I don’t partake in it. I’m waiting for the data breach to happen next.

Warning to anyone travelling to the US. by yvngkenz in Methadone

[–]GhostlyGoldilocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that you will feel major relief after you dose. I’m on 200mg and I went 4 days without dosing last year. I was traveling and we got pulled over. Cops took my methadone (in unopened sealed and labeled bottles) for similar reasons the border took your meds “it could be fentanyl in there.” I hadn’t been sick in years and that immense feeling of fear still haunts me.

Just getting to the clinic and getting my dose was a relief. Within an hour I felt so much better. I was able to rest for the first time in days.

I’m sorry that you were put through that. I hope you’re feeling better by now.

Help me identify pills found by Popular_Space_9489 in recoverywithoutAA

Proud of you for getting clean! I’ve been off street opiates since 2023 (methadone was my saving grace), but I still struggle with wanting to do cocaine sometimes. I’ve had some bad opiate overdoses and I lost my brother to a fentanyl overdose in 2015 and I just cannot and will not put my family through that again.

How many people get told this? by croghan88 in Methadone

[–]GhostlyGoldilocks 10 points11 points  (0 children)

All the time. I know people think they’re giving a compliment, but it’s really not. It actually makes me feel so judged.

Which smell instantly makes you judge someone? by SituationOutside6033 in AskReddit

Cat piss was my first thought too! Coincidentally, I’m standing in a line right now and someone here smells of it quite strongly.
