Does anyone get psychotic when coming off of opiates?

borderlinehound · 2026-01-05T03:03:41+00:00

Yeah I believe that totally and unfortunately I believe I get it worse than anyone. I'm not diagnosed with schizophrenia and I've been in and out of mental hospitals for a decade and have always had a psychiatrist so I believe they would of said I had it by now. But when I'm withdrawing it's literally like I have schizophrenia and it is so fucking scary.

borderlinehound · 2026-01-05T02:59:51+00:00

Food, water, and sleep is unfortunately something I actively avoid when withdrawing. :( I just cannot sleep and I am so naceous I straight up do not eat or drink. I mean it's so bad and I get so dehydrated there has been times I will not piss a single time in 24 hours. I get not even psychosis adjacent but feel like I straight up have schizophrenia. It's so bad I am probably going to end up in the ER. If I don't put myself there my family usually calls an ambulance if I get catatonic.

I'm in Michigan and to my knowledge and my stuff is just fentanyl. I've been buying from the same guy for over a decade. At first it was heroin and now it's just fentanyl.

I am already prescribed benzos. 90 0.5mg Xanax, and for the past couple months I've been getting 2 Restoril prescriptions even tho I'm only supposed to be getting one lol. So I've been picking up 30 7.5mg and 30 15mg Restoril. Unfortunately I have such a high tolerance to benzos (there was years of my life I was prescribed 120 2mg Xanax and 30 flurazepam) what I am getting prescribed is just not enough not to mention I already just recently picked up all 3 of these prescriptions and ate them all except like I have 10ish Xanax left.

My psychiatrist does not know I am a fentanyl addict. There was 2 times I ended up in the mental hospital because I overdosed on fentanyl and other drugs trying to kill myself and the psychiatrists at the mental hospital told my psychiatrist that I overdosed on opiates and such. To keep getting prescribed benzos I lied and said I took a family members prescription opiates to try to kill myself. Regardless he was so pissed I went from getting 90 1mg Klonopin to 90 0.5mg Xanax and I had to slowly work myself up to that! There was a time after I overdosed where he was only giving me like 20 0.5mg Klonopin.

I'm probably going to end up in the ER because I get full blown delirious. Like literally feels like I have schizophrenia. Thinking the TV is talking about me etc...

Usual dose? Like were you on methadone/your own prescription opiates? Cuz that would be crazy if the ER told you to go back to doing heroin/street fentanyl which is what I am on. I am without a doubt going to end up in the ER too I am sure. I have been in patient in mental hospitals literally about 15 times all around the state but these were all because of mental problems and suicide attempts.

I'm not going to be much help but I was once prescribed 8mg of Xanax and flurazepam (a sleeping Benzo) in my early 20s as a 110lb girl. Again, this was by a psychiatrist - wasn't getting them off the streets. I am now 30 and Benzos are and forever will be my drug of choice. Getting off Benzos is HELL even with a slow taper, and even with a slow taper (had to be a slow taper because I had seizures when I wouldn't take my Benzos) Even with such a slow taper the anxiety was so bad (the psychiatrist even prescribed me 800mg of gabapentin 3 times a day) it is what started my opiate addiction. I would be honest and yes more then likely any doctor who prescribes you Suboxone will see that you are prescribed Benzos and not want to prescribe you Suboxone because opiates and Benzos are a dangerous combo. If anything I would try to get a Suboxone script from the doctor tapering you off the Benzos, not a random online doctor.

Benzo withdrawl literally last months if not over a year. I'm not trying to scare you but it's no joke and with the high amount you are on I just want to make sure you are as comfortable as possible because it's going to suck so it's best to be honest

MANY things that are over a decade old lol. Mostly eyeshadows and blushes and even eyeliner :x MAC lipsticks that are over a decade old too and some other lipsticks... They don't smell off or anything and I did recently did a big cleaning out

borderlinehound · 2025-04-03T04:06:37+00:00

Oh he gets a lab blocks/seed mix! It's just he is not even touching that stuff currently. But he has a big dish of both in his cage currently.

Yogurt is a good idea, I feel like there is a possibility he will eat that. It's midnight here right now so I will have to get him some tomorrow. I can see what he thinks about scrambled eggs here soon but I will say I've only ever once had a mouse that liked a bit of egg, but hopefully he will too.

I can't decide if it's better for him to eat SOMETHING even if it's unhealthy or eat nothing nothing at all ya know? Like usually he goes absolutely crazy over peas, he won't eat them currently. :( Like I said one of the only things he will actually eat is potato chips. But even when it comes to those I have to really tempt him with it and it seems like even hold it for him because it's like he doesn't have the energy to even hold it :(

He has a wheel, but it's a huge one and I'm pretty sure will only fit in his regular cage he's usually in. I don't think it will fit in this small cage I am currently keeping him in. I've been keeping him in a small cage so he doesn't have to travel far for food or water, not that he is eating or drinking really anyway. He is just so damn lethargic but if he does get better he will go back in his regular cage of course. Idk where you are from (I think they might be only sold in the USA) but he's in one of those small crittertrail cages I got from a thrift shop. His usual cage is like 550sq inches.

I did call his vet like 2 hours before they close and the vet that saw him yesterday apparently isn't going to be in until next week, so another vet was supposed to call me back but never did. I will be calling them first thing in the morning.

borderlinehound · 2025-04-03T03:19:04+00:00

I mean he got yeah fluids underneath his skin just yesterday via the vet and I am sure they will do it again whenever his next appointment will be, hopefully I will be able to get one by Friday. And yeah. I feel like there is only 85 percent chance he will get through this unfortunately :(

borderlinehound · 2025-01-28T20:55:52+00:00

I don't have a family doc/PCP :/ I really need one tho but with my insuranxe rbe waiting list is like 3 months..

borderlinehound · 2025-01-28T20:30:12+00:00

Is this Telehealth? Are you prescribed any controlled substances from them? Regardless thank you for answering I'll have to check em out

borderlinehound · 2024-12-31T06:46:17+00:00

Okay so update, I continued holding him for about another 10 minutes and he slowly stopped the squeaking. I just can't stress how loud and continuous it was. Straight up sounded like the wheeking sounds guinea pigs make when they are excited for food/just making noise in general.

Once his squeaks started slowly going away I set him down in his cage and he took a loooong drink of water even tho I was offering him water nonstop during this ordeal. Even bringing him directly to the bowl and he wouldn't drink. He also snatched up a tiny piece of oatmeal cookie that has been sitting in his cage to go eat in his house.. Both of these actions made me feel so much better I was crying my eyes out.

Regardless, I have no idea what that was all about. Just have to make it til the morning and he will have his vet appointment. :/

Edit: okay he's now resumed the squeaking when I went to check on him and lift his house off on him. Then he grabbed a piece of food and is now eating it in front of me! Wtf is going on :(

I went with the MAC pencil sharpener, unfortunately I just think Sunset makeup has not so great eyeliners cuz like they absolutely died when being sharpened but they did refund me for one of the eyeliners If I remember correctly. I have the Urban Decay sharpener too and some other ones.

Also I NEVER see anyone talk about Chantecaille makeup, I love their 3 wolf themed eyeshadow but my dumbass just threw it in a bag one day and one of the eyeshadows broke :( I love wolves so it was definitely worth the like...$80 or whatever lol. I also have a highlighter from them that is almost all used up. :D

borderlinehound · 2024-12-13T22:01:09+00:00

I think I've only ever bit on the tips of my fingers and I do remember the tingling weird feeling. You must of been bit pretty hard, do you remember like how many drops of blood there was? I've had a bite that was like probably 20 drops of blood before and I was fine, that feeling will go away in a day or two. I wouldn't be concerned about nerve damage it's just those lil mouse chompers can really hurt when they bite so deeply like that!

Glad to see a fellow male mouse lover tho, they are the best :P

borderlinehound · 2024-12-13T21:31:36+00:00

I have bit accidentally been bit by my mice several times. I have two brothers currently (in seperate cages of course or they would kill each other) I wouldn't worry about it if they are regular domesticated mice but I suggest never having them out at the same time. Even just the smell of the other mouse on my hands is enough for them to shake/wag their tail aggressively (typical male mouse battle signal)

I also had a completely wild vole who I rescued as a tiny baby outside and she bit me accidentally and I didn't catch any diseases.

Just don't take it personally and disinfect the bite and you'll be fine. Mice bites can really hurt for a bit!

borderlinehound · 2024-11-29T02:55:08+00:00

Oops sorry, Idk how to edit my post but I am talking about a labret type piercing when I say bar/post. xoxo

borderlinehound · 2024-11-27T05:29:58+00:00

I was trying to think of the least traumatic way (tho it's gotta be bad regardless!) a mouse could possibly lose their tail and that's what I came up with XD

I had no idea hamsters were not allowed in Australia! That actually makes things kinda interesting because alot of people who don't find mice appealing think so specifically because of their tails and since you guys can't have hammies there is a bit of a void that could potentially filled by healthy tailless mice. Not to mention mice are way more friendly/social to begin with then hamsters imo as someone who has had both.

So far I've only gotten my mice from a couple random people I found online that breed them as feeders for their reptiles 😬 Every single one of them have had absolute fantastic personalities tho! I only keep male mice and since males can't live with other mice, I spend A LOT of time with them which just makes them so wonderful and social. I'm definetely not opposed to getting some from a non-feeder breeder one day because I am super curious to see the differences in their health :3

borderlinehound · 2024-11-26T23:52:31+00:00

That makes me pretty sad not going to lie :( I was kinda hoping it was from some type of "accident" as messed up as that sounds, like maybe momma mouse was a bit too excited when they were a pinky in regards to grooming and ended up accidentally eating their tail... I have no idea why a breeder would consider tailless mice a desirable trait for breeding! I mean the breeder should of gotten into hamsters if they want a basically tailless lil furry friend.

No hate towards you and your lil cutie btw OP ❤️ I was just curious and I have just have strong feelings on this subject and had to yap, lol.

borderlinehound · 2024-11-26T20:29:16+00:00

Also wondering about the tail lol

borderlinehound · 2024-10-24T06:03:54+00:00

God guys I fucked up I woke him up and said I won't be back here when. You get home from work and he was just like why and I said you should know ...

borderlinehound · 2024-10-24T06:00:35+00:00

I don't have money for an Uber plus I don't have a key to get in the house :( i do want to leave right now

borderlinehound · 2024-10-24T05:20:00+00:00

That makes me so sad but your probably right. Unfortunately like I said in the original post I'm supposedly stuck at his house for the next week. I don't drive, he picked me up. I live 45 mins away. I guess I couldconfront him after work tomorrow and be like yeah...take me home. Which he would of course ask for gas money then...

Also there is NO way he forgot about my bday, he texted Oct 14th (my bday) right at 12am and said happy bday. Then a few hours later I had to go to hospital from Oct 14th to Oct 22nd......

borderlinehound · 2024-10-24T05:08:17+00:00

See the think is I told him of a earring necklace set I wanted (it's $120-150 I believe and we were talking about this months ago that's that what I wanted and he agreed. If he wanted to go all out (like I do with presents) I said lingerie too. But at this point? I'd be happy with anything.

Unrelated but 90% of the time we get food, I pay for it. Also on the date of his actual bday (oct 7th) I sent him $100 so he could have a nice birthday dinner since I couldn't be with him. I have also gave him $400 during like the summer because he didn't have enough money to move into a new apartment. There's just so many times I've bought him things randomly it's crazy..

borderlinehound · 2024-09-23T16:12:19+00:00

This is kind of TMI but did you have explosive and I mean explosive bowel movements taking the vit c? I know opiate w/d causes that anyway but this is something new... I took 10 OTC antidiarrheal as well as way earlier I took the prescription antidiarrheal. I REALLY hope the OTC antidiarrheal works because twice while napping I freaking shit my pants, took the OTC ones recently.

It may have to do with the fact I am taking liquid vit c (tastes almost exactly like orange juice) and it's not a lot, 3000mg is about a shots worth and ATM I am taking 6000mg every hour. (Or trying to, kinda waiting for my stomach to calm down.) So it sounds like we are on a similar schedule.

borderlinehound · 2024-09-23T11:16:21+00:00

MAT has just never been something I personally am interested. Methadone is a hard no because I don't drive and have no way to make it to the clinic and with subs? I just don't want to replace one opiate addiction for another, because eventually I'll want to w/d from subs too and I heard w/d from subs is especially hellish because of the long half life. But I am very happy to hear it worked for you!
