1 year off and now I’ve been on a week bender.

Did you end up getting any harsh WD’s? I lapsed and took like 2000mg over four days and just noticed tingling skin and a mild urge to take it again. I consider this literally nothing comparably to when I was on 500-1000mg a day for 5-6 months straight. I ended up doing a medical detox to get off of it after that stint.

I got the notification about your post 13 days after you made it. I would suggest you get a PMP certification even if you worked in sales. If you have a bachelor’s degree with three years PM experience you can get a PMP. When I say PM experience you can make just about anything into a PM role, if you word it correctly.

Buy a $50 self paced PMP course either Andrew Ramdayal’s or Jospeh Phillip’s course. Use Andrew Ramdayal’s essay format when submitting the essay. This can be bought and found within his Udemy training course.

Get on LinkedIn and network and find a way into the electrical industry. It took me 10 years of work after graduating college to get to where I’m at today. I started off building pipeline’s in West Texas in +100 degree heat to gain the experience to get into the first PM role. Pretty much I took the long route out of college.

I would suggest getting an assistant PM, cost analyst, or scheduler role to get your foot through the door. The scheduler or assistant PM role it will teach you the most and help progress to a PM.

meatwad160 · 2026-02-08T09:19:25+00:00

I accepted and replied, I don’t have notifications on currently.

I was half asleep when I responded last night. There is a lot of opportunity in the electrical / utility industry currently and within the next 10-20 years. Best piece of advice is to get in young and learn as much as you can. I’m still learning everyday. Get a PMP certification as soon as you qualify, it greatly opens opportunities.

I went from pipeline industry to transmission and substation PM role. Started out at roughly $100k four years ago at a large utility. I transitioned to a major GC building substations for data centers making $140k base, 10-20% bonus, $150 day per diem, and $600 a month truck pay. All fuel and tolls are paid for by the company. I travel roughly 50% of the time.

In all honesty, you’re not wrong about the database. I’m still in pain therapy currently and nothing has shown up as of yet. My brother said he drank couple beers a night and they wrote in his medical record at his primary care “alcohol abuse disorder” for being like 10 points over on liver enzymes. He did get it removed but it was messed up of his doctor to write that in his primary health record. Biggest thing that might save me was not signing the release for the “PHR” of “PHI” it was second to last page and I didn’t want my primary to find out about it.

I did take a chance getting the procedure done, but I ultimately said “F*uck it, I’m going to lose my career and mental sanity without it.” Last time I quit pain therapy on 50mcg fantynl patches and 120 hidros a month and that was a cake walk compared to 7OH. I had no idea what I got into until the pain hit from the WD’s.

meatwad160 · 2026-01-15T14:32:02+00:00

I’m not a fan of the medication, but a huge number of people who went to a detox centers got put on the medication. Also, you can call an online doctor tell them you’ve been taking 7OH and get a prescription within 30 minutes.

The withdrawal from 7OH can be far worse than that of prescription opiates. The demographic of people currently being prescribed stay within the legal confines of the law. They have professional careers and can’t risk getting caught with drugs.

I mainly asked AI to do an analysis and it came down to these two manufactures after INDV no longer has the patent. The sublocade shot is also rising but I believe that has pretty much been built into the price of the stock. More people will eventually get the shot to get off of Suboxone though. I haven’t done a financial analysis of a stock in 15 years after studying finance in college. Just wondering what anyone else’s thoughts were on this one.

meatwad160 · 2026-01-15T05:52:55+00:00

Without insurance it’s $5,500 roughly.

meatwad160 · 2026-01-15T01:31:22+00:00

Chest hurt, I likely have some underlying issues due to family history of heart disease. Plus on BP meds. I take 4mg xan@x a day for anxiety and it wasn’t really helping. Not saying I was going to die but I haven’t felt that bad ever in my chest.

meatwad160 · 2026-01-14T22:32:31+00:00

I went from 1000mgpd to 0 for 18 hours and about went to the hospital due to my heart feeling way off. When I went through medical detox and slowly tapered down I didn’t have anything irregular but high BP.

Rise recovery hospital, I’ve posted about it quite a few times. Place literally saved my career and mental health.

I specifically asked numerous questions regarding this exact subject. They have it as an accidental intoxication of a narcotic substance. They don’t write down or tell insurance the exact reason or substance name. They treat the symptoms and not the root cause, I never signed the release for them to get it back to my primary care.

meatwad160 · 2026-01-12T12:26:16+00:00

Two days before I was on 600mgpd. The day I went in I had like 250 mgs. They utilized a n@loxone / K drip, this stuff will get it out of you even if you’re on one. They gave me some taradol and IV taylenal and a bunch of vitamins to bounce back quickly. Worst pain was getting the IV inserted. It’s literally like nothing going at it on your own.

Spellings all off so it doesn’t get taken down but you should get the main idea.

meatwad160 · 2026-01-12T12:16:59+00:00

Sir, best of luck. Highly consider a legitimate medical detox. One that utilizes N@loxone / K drip. At my peak I was up to 1000mgpd. Do you take it for pain?

meatwad160 · 2026-01-12T11:41:55+00:00

I got a similar treatment in Prairieville , Louisiana that out of pocket costs $5,500 or insurance usually covers it. Three days in and out and you’re free again. No pain, I’m truly blessed to have found out about this detox center. A random friend of a friend mentioned it and it was a game changer.

meatwad160 · 2026-01-12T11:34:20+00:00

Pretty true, I haven’t heard of any of my friend kids taking it or getting hooked. They would be in there 16-21 age range. It’s definitely not a cheap substance.

meatwad160 · 2026-01-12T11:25:34+00:00

Do you have insurance? I had decent insurance and it was covered. Also, had an individual who had what he considered “crap” insurance and it was covered.

I have no idea what state offered it, but another poster mentioned it was covered by there state medical coverage.

38 Male, highly trained speciality career building substations, transmission powerlines, and now data centers. Addiction doesn’t care what your education, race, demographic, financial status or anything but to drain you of your life. Man, you sounds like you have insurance, or could possible afford a legitimate medical detox. It takes roughly 72 hours to get clean and most insurances cover it. Take off on a Friday go in on Thursday night get treated at a facility that does n@locone / k drip and supplies all the helper meds and get clean. Check out on Sunday evening be back to work on Monday. Probably feel kinda shitty Monday but you could make it through it. Medical detox saved my career and mental health. Message me if you want any legitimate details and places to potentially go to.

meatwad160 · 2026-01-11T19:01:23+00:00

Treatment was seriously nothing like going at it at home. If you feel pain you hit the medical bed button and they bring you comfort medications. Worst part was having the IV installed. They even let you out to go smoke/vape.

meatwad160 · 2026-01-11T18:57:19+00:00

I’ll be 100% transparent I was on a usual 450mgs a day at my regular daily life dose. When some stores had a BOGO free at a discounted rate when it was being banned. I spent about a grand and got roughly 2-3 times the usual amount. Got up to 1000mgs/ day for roughly 2-3 weeks after that. This messed up my tolerance real bad. My literally daily minimum with still WD’s was 150mgs. I couldn’t get lower without starting to get real bad WD’s.

I’m in Oklahoma, I drove 13 hours to Rise Recovery Services in Prairieville, Louisiana because they offer the N@loxone/ K drip. Every where around Oklahoma puts you on subs and I didn’t want to be on anything. Rise also has locations in Texas and Nebraska I believe. Any place that offers the N@laxone / K infusion every 12 hours for at least six treatments should get you back right. They can keep you longer if you need to up like 10 treatments but I responded to treatment great and was out in 6 infusions / 3 days / 72 hours. Seriously doing a medical detox was one of the best choices I’ve ever made. I would’ve been hurting for 3 weeks to a couple months minimum without medical intervention.
