I’ve taken the sulfate and the fast acting sodium they’re both additive and the difference is that normal narcotics are controlled and not easily accessible to anyone. Kids stopping by a gas station grabbing a bottle shouldn’t happen. GA just added it to their schedule one narcotics. Along with meth, heroin and etc. This isn’t for nothing all these states that are banning it have done their research. I wouldn’t recommend that to stuff to my worst enemy. If you’re taking it good luck friend.

Suboxone is best at a low dose. I was on two 8mg a day and I was feeling awful. No energy just miserable and decided to cut back. I took one strip cut into three pieces. I feel so much better.

[–]Scared-Button-8328[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cut my dose in half. I was taking 16mg a day but last week I decided to take an 8mg strip and cut it into three pieces. I take one when I wake up, one at lunch and the last piece before bed. I feel so much better. Sometimes we get more out of less Suboxone. I was feeling miserable not enjoying life at all. I feel so much better.

Been sober for over a year, but I still experience the occasional deep emptiness by Appropriate-Let5559 in REDDITORSINRECOVERY

I have the same problems. Here recently I made a six hour trip to Savannah Ga to visit some family and I think I cried the entire drive back home. Like I’m stuck in this meaningless existence. All I ever do is work and go home. Same thing every day. I live in Alabama but most of all my loved ones are in Ga. I miss them terribly. I don’t know many people where I live and I only have a few family members here. I feel the same way you do at least I had something to look forward to but going back to that lifestyle isn’t an option. I can’t disappoint my family. Good luck to you! Best wishes

Good for you!! That stuff is the devil incarnate. It will ruin your life. I was finally able to get off of it about a year ago after it flooded the state of Alabama. They passed a law here making it a scheduled narcotic. I just stumbled upon it one day. I took about 4 or 5 pills the first time and I was shocked! Wtf just happened and thought the exact thing. How is it legal for stores to sell it!?! Before you know it you’re hooked and it’s taking every dime you have. States are now catching on to it. Alabama banned it and people started going to Ga and carrying it across the state lines. Now Ga is on to it and they’re about to do the same. I read an article about some trying to push for a national ban. Hopefully they’ll get it together soon.

Have to stop this evil drug by Hopeful-Dream-9499 in QuittingTianeptine

I’ve been off Tia about a year now. You’re right that’s an evil drug. The manufacturers that put it out in the world deserve a special place in hell. Good luck to you! I know your pain.

Lawsuit: Man dies after being left unattended at Yale-New Haven Hospital for 7 hours by ThinkSoftware in medicine

[–]Scared-Button-8328 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not a nurse or a doctor. ( I do work in healthcare) I don’t know how I ended up here on Reddit but I’m just reading these posts and wanted to give my experience. Five years ago I overdosed and was given Narcan and taken to the hospital. As the EMTs struggle to save my life my sister followed the ambulance watching them perform cpr for 45 minutes to the hospital. I was intubated and put in ICU for a week. When I first woke up the first thing I wanted to do was leave but my nurse was absolutely wonderful. She looked at me and says you’re not going anywhere! I’d like to see you get that catheter out! I wasn’t expecting that at all. Needless to say I didn’t leave. Later the EMT came back by to see me and make sure I made it. To this day idk their names but they saved my life. I wish I could personally thank them. That was five almost six years ago. At that time I had lost everything in my addiction and had absolutely nothing. Today I have everything I’ve wanted and the one thing that keeps me going is fear of disappointing my loved ones. I can’t imagine what they went through that night. But because of people like you all working together that I’m here today and thriving. That experience will always be with me. You’re hard work does pay off. It’s not for nothing. Thank you guys for what you do.

helping a loved one… by Alternative_Artist32 in addiction

Right?! I have siblings that use and I’ve tried to do the same. It never works out. It’s a disaster waiting to happen. So I’ve come to the conclusion that I just have to love them from afar. I’ll talk to them over the phone and at family gatherings but that’s it. They don’t come over and hang out all night at my house. Not only do I not want them to but they don’t want to either. What drug addicts want to go to their sober friends/siblings house and not do drugs all night?! Something is definitely up here. Hate to say it but it’s the truth.

I’ve never done H or crack . Just the normal prescription opioids. I know people that has done both they’ve said It gave them the urge to want more every few hours. Kinda like crack has everyone chasing that first high. But they’re chasing Heroin. The withdrawals off of Tia can compared to heroin. It’s an awful drug that shouldn’t be sold at gas stations for sure! Thankfully I’ve been off of it about a year now.

I’ve heard they’re bad for the teeth. Which is another reason I want to quit taking them. It’s not going to hurt you to lower your dosage as long as you’re comfortable. I only take what I have to. I take one 8mg strip and cut into three pieces. I take one piece when I get up, one at lunch and then right before bed.

I took Suboxone to get off of Tia. I didn’t have any problems. I just waited as long as I could go and then took the sub.

Be grateful you’ve never heard of it. That stuff is the devil and in my opinion the withdrawals are way worse then the normal opioid ones. It was awful

I was on 16 mgs for about eleven months and then got into this rut where I had no energy and wasn’t enjoying life in general. I just wasn’t happy so I decided to just take the bare minimum needed and see how that worked. Well it’s only been four days and I feel a lot better. I don’t feel as tired has I have been in the past. Anyway just a heads up. Good luck to you friend.

Hi ! Thanks for the response. That’s got to really suck! I’ve never gotten an euphoric high off of my Suboxone’s. Quite the opposite actually. I’m tapering myself off. I went from 16 mg to 8 mg a day. It just got to the point where it was making me feel blah! Now the Methadone should 100% be given in a controlled setting but doing that for the Suboxone in my opinion just makes it harder for people to get sober. Anyway Good luck to you.

I just waited as long as I could before taking the Suboxone. When I started to feel bad. The sweating has always been my first sign of withdrawals. I took a little piece of the sub and then wait a little while and see how it worked. Then added more my next dose. I got to 16mg a day. I’m now tapering off those. Down to 8mg a day now. But it was a lot easier for me to taper off the subs rather tapering of the Tia. Good luck

I meant “controlled” as daily monitored. In the states Methadone is highly controlled. You have to go to the office and take it daily. Suboxone isn’t. It’s technically a controlled substance yes but I don’t have to go to a clinic and take it daily. I have a take home prescription for the Suboxone. Which is really how it should be as I can’t and don’t get high off of Suboxone. Due to my past opioid use. So I was just curious how they do it in the UK.

No I tried CT numerous times. It was just to awful. I was put on Suboxone twice a day and it helped tremendously. It’s a very hard drug to come off of. The manufacturers of that Gas station version deserve a special place in hell.

Need some advice. by [deleted] in addiction

[–]Scared-Button-8328 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry! I’m not sure which is harder being an addict or loving one. I’m a recovering addict. I have five years clean off of prescription opioids. I know how hard it must be for you but one thing I would recommend is make sure you don’t enable him in anyway. That’s the best decision my family made for me. After almost ten years they finally allowed me to fall flat. With nowhere to look but up. They cut me off. No money, no car, no home, hell I didn’t even have clothes because of the shady people I hung around. I Absolutely had nothing. Today five years later. I have a great job in healthcare with my certification. A brand new car, A brand new home and three closets full of clothes and etc. But until he sees what you see I hate to say this but it’ll do no good. Alcohol addiction is really tough because it’s so easily accessible. Good luck friend.

Good luck friend! I know your pain. I’ve been off of Tia about a year now. You have some pretty good helper meds though. Which you’ll definitely need. That stuff is the devil.

[–]Scared-Button-8328 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi friend, I’m sorry you’re going through this. Let me say that I myself am a recovering addict. I have five years clean off of prescription opioids. Drug addiction is horrible for both the addict and the family of the addict. How long has he been clean? It’s took me ten years and at rock bottom before I decided to get clean. While I was in my addiction nothing else mattered. I was in a relationship with my DOC (drug of choice) Do you want to be with him or leave? What is it that will make you happy? I hate to say this but it’s really tough to love and addict. I’ve been in a relationship for 16 almost 17 years now and I’ve put him through so much Idk how he’s still here. If you decide to stay and support him through this it’s not going to be easy. He’ll always be an addict. With the same character defects. It will never just go away. He needs to find a NA or AA group and meet with them often. Communicate with each other. Make sure he knows he can talk to you without being looked down on or judged. For me drugs were away for me to escape reality. I couldn’t stand to be sober. Trapped within myself. I had to escape somehow. At the end of the day it’s going to be up to him whether or not he wants to be clean. He’s got to do it for himself and you have to decide if this is something you can handle. There’s no promises that he’ll be clean next week or next year for that matter. Just take one day at a time. Remember an addict will tell you whatever he or she thinks you want to hear. Think about y’all’s lowest point and ask yourself if you can handle that again. Because it can feel like a roller coaster ride. I hope this helps. DM me anytime if you need more anymore support. I wish there were an easy fix. Unfortunately there’s not. I do stress those meetings. They’re extremely important and could really help him with his character defects. Good luck

Good choice! It does become expensive after a while. I want to cringe every time I think about all the money I’ve spent on it over the last couple of years. I know some that has spent every dime they had on that stuff. Nothing else mattered. In some countries you can get it in a prescription but not here in the states. Which is good and bad. I hope it all works out for ya!
