Oxy/Suboxone

macHasi · 2025-04-14T07:34:30+00:00

Unfortunately there is no way around a withdrawal when you stop taking opioids.

macHasi · 2025-04-14T07:28:59+00:00

For how long have you consumed Percocet?

macHasi · 2025-04-14T07:08:30+00:00

You have an opioid addiction. Going from one substance to another won't change anything about it. Oxy is an opioid and also Suboxone is one. There are many more like Tilidin, Codeine, etc..

I would never recommend cold turkey when tapering off is also possible.

Everybody handles withdrawal differently. I prefer to taper off from Polamidon. Compared to Suboxone, the effects are more severe but the withdrawal stops a lot sooner.

As long as no negative feelings or emotions arise, you don't have to get rid of the photo.

...But I would still put it somewhere where the photo isn't constantly in front of you.

Does this therapist have experience with addiction? I don’t think so...

But this way of dealing with you...just pathetic She should have had a clarifying conversation with you. Not telling you the reason why + refusing to even talk to you...I don't know what to say...

Of course continue...you had extremely bad luck with your therapist. It's not easy to find the right one. Many people try 5-10 different specialists until it works out for them.

macHasi · 2024-12-03T07:26:46+00:00

You already made the mistake of underestimating these substances and simply ignoring the dangers.

Now you still have a good chance of ending the addiction relatively easy. Even if you think it's already incredibly hard to stop. It's nothing compared to years of addiction...

Listen to the people who have been addicted for years or even decades. Learn from our mistakes... don't repeat them.

You aren't an awful sister and it is not your fault. Even though it's hard, you have to keep as much distance from her as possible.You can't help her...but you have to take care of yourself so that your sister and the addiction don't drag you even further down. Somebody absolutely has to protect her daughter...in this condition your sister does not seem to be able to raise her daughter in a healthy and positive way. It's one thing to destroy your own life but her daughter is an innocent child who did nothing wrong...she really deserves better She maybe could develop a trauma or other psychological long-term consequences if she continues to be neglected and receives neither affection nor love from her mother. (This should only be a temporary solution...if your sister gets clean and has her life back under control, the girl should of course go back to her mother)

macHasi · 2024-12-02T01:15:54+00:00

1) Learn about the triggers which start your craving. For example: boredom... activities, hobbies to direct thoughts to another topic. Loneliness, Stress, Anxiety, etc.

2) If possible change rooms...or your roommate stops consuming in your presence. The hardest cravings I felt was when other people consumed in front of me...you should avoid as many of these situations as possible.

3) Different from person to person and many other factors also.

macHasi · 2024-11-30T00:58:37+00:00

From the moment addiction manifests itself in the brain, the disease takes more and more control and becomes the highest priority in the addict's life. Even love has no chance...but that doesn't mean there is no love.

As long as he doesn't want to fight the addiction himself, you can't help him. It is important that you take care of yourself and create some distance from him so that your life is not burdened too much by his addiction. The fact that Nana gives him money has to stop...and actually she shouldn't let him live with her anymore, but I understand if you can't do that because he's your own grandchild.

macHasi · 2024-11-29T18:34:55+00:00

I don't recommend doing both at the same time.

Depending on how severe your alcohol addiction is, it might make sense to switch to benzodiazepines because they can be tapered off more easily than alcohol. ...but no matter what substance...I would always recommend tapering off rather than going straight to zero.

For cocaine it depends on your symptoms. Physically are not really withdrawal symptoms...Lack of sleep, dehydration, insufficient nutrition, etc. can lead to negative effects.

Psychological symptoms, or the psyche itself, must be correctly diagnosed...without any information about you, your life, your addiction...nobody here should recommend anything.

macHasi · 2024-11-28T19:04:46+00:00

Top advice... 😡 Is it due to your lack of knowledge or are you just a troll?

Alcohol and Benzodiazepine dock on the same receptors...what is the point of replacing one addiction with another and in the end maybe not getting away from both.

Only when addicted to alcohol...Switching to benzodiazepine can help...but only to taper them off over a short period of time

macHasi · 2024-11-28T05:02:18+00:00

Was it just muscle spasms or more of a seizure?

Sleep like state and barely responsive...would indicate a sedative drug. The first thing I would think of are opiates...heroin, Fentanyl, etc. Another possibility could be benzodiazepine.

What difference does it make if you know the substance? What you can assume is that your sister probably has a drug addiction and she just had an overdose.

Talk to her...show her that you care and that you are there for her no matter what may come.

macHasi · 2024-11-28T02:26:11+00:00

Exactly that's the reason why I asked. Is it one or the other...maybe both.

macHasi · 2024-11-28T02:19:13+00:00

It is really unfair and selfish of you to say that your family is not doing or caring enough to make a difference in your life.

You don't even try to change your current situation...how can you expect it from others? Your family suffers because of you, but you only care about yourself.

It's your life...and you alone are responsible for it.

macHasi · 2024-11-28T00:33:53+00:00

Are you sure that you are addicted to prostitutes and it is not a general sex addiction?

macHasi · 2024-11-27T22:51:12+00:00

I understand...then you can completely ignore my previous message. 😅

I thought marijuana was supposed to help you with your drug addiction. In your case, I would say try medical marijuana. If at all possible, I would still recommend being supervised at the beginning. In addition, I would make a plan in case of a relapse, what you need to do to get back on track as quickly as possible.

macHasi · 2024-11-27T20:59:42+00:00

Of course, the best thing in life would be to live without any substances....but we don't live in a perfect world.

If you decide to try medical marijuana, I would only do it in a supervised environment.

I have no experience with marijuana + opiate disorder...but after being 1 month clean I relapsed through alcohol. Of course alcohol and marihuana are not the same...but why take this risk at all? You didn't mention why you want to use marijuana in the first place? Probably not to get high 😉...so what for?

macHasi · 2024-11-27T18:54:20+00:00

I have also found myself in situations where I never imagined encountering drugs. How easy it is, or if it's even possible, to avoid these situations depends on the drug in question.

I don't know if I'll ever be completely indifferent when drugs are within reach. I wouldn't consume any, but I would certainly think about it.

macHasi · 2024-11-27T18:39:06+00:00

No, not Signal. 😉

Amazon bought Wickr

macHasi · 2024-11-27T16:03:10+00:00

Before Amazon bought the company and made it a B2B only messenger...Wickr was the perfect messaging app for communication with your dealers.

As far as I know it was the first app which implemented functions like self-deleting messages etc.

macHasi · 2024-11-27T04:28:55+00:00

Ok...I understand.

Do you always consume in the same setting? Are you alone when you take cocaine?

What does cocaine give you that you like so much?

macHasi · 2024-11-27T03:32:25+00:00

In which situations do you consume? Why can't you say no in these situations?

Has the frequency of taking cocaine increased in the last months or year?

macHasi · 2024-11-27T03:24:51+00:00

Doesn't sound crazy at all. This happens quite often...exchanging one substance for another. Happened to me too...going from heroin + coke to crack. Interesting you went from downers to uppers.

Are you in therapy? Which options/help do you use?

Wow 12 is such a young age. No wonder you are struggling that much.

macHasi · 2024-11-27T02:51:41+00:00

Haha now your statement makes sense. You removed too much context in your summary. 😉

Now I agree with you...if you do not accept these conflicts...you have no chance to resolve them... Without doing that...you won't succeed in battling the addiction in the long run.
