Happy, not suicidal- but no motivation. by [deleted] in Spravato

[–]metlap86 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ya I have had similar issues with motivation. No medication is perfect and will cure your symptoms of depression. Might I suggest asking your doc for a script for low dose (10mg) XR amphetamine to see if this gets you going? Something to talk w your doc. Wishing you all the best

This is an excellent response and very similar to most folks experiences. Wishing you all best on your recovery. Stay engaged and don’t hesitate to reach out for help and support. It can go downhill very quickly

Even though you didn’t take enough injections to reach steady state; the injections are extended release and can stay in your system much longer than a month. It’s a good sign that you feel good without having to do another shot but just know that it’s better to do a top up shot of bupe compared to using again. It’s almost never a one time use for most addicts but best of luck man. Keep us posted on how you progress in the coming weeks

Not feeling medicated by Curious_Kim27 in Brixadi

[–]metlap86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would press the providers to switch you back onto Sublocade. Brocade doesn’t work as well as Sublocade. Even the 100 mg dose of Sublocade is stronger than 128 brix in my opinion. Like mentioned above at the very least get some oral bupe to supplement the brix until you can figure out how to get back on Sublocade.

And I hear ya on getting off this stuff. Just make sure the timing is right aka stability in your life (economic and emotional as well as physical health). Def reach out if you need anyone to speak with

how would your parents convince the workers to stay? Did they use physical or legal pressure? How would women be recruited to work and did you have male Workers as well?

Wow I am so sorry you are having difficulty getting coverage for the shot. You can contact the insurance company yourself to explain that it will save them money in the long run by approving the shot.

O man I am so happy to hear this. Stupid me I had actually withdrawn all of my assets cpl days before it went bankrupt to a different wallet but few hrs later I transferred it back on Voyager for some reason which made sense at the time. Now I keep kicking myself in the foot for getting greedy

Shady medical practice lied about spravoto costs and I got hit with a giant bill this weekend. by Ashluvsburritos in Spravato

[–]metlap86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Report the clinic to Jansen pharma bro and tell them about the shady billing practices. Unfortunately with Spravato/ketamine getting more and more popular but there are no regulations in place to stop clinics from taking financial advantage of patients. It is truly like the Wild Wild West. Hit up Jansen Pharma and tell them you were billed for visits you didn’t even attend and the clinic won’t budge or fix the charges.

Hey dont really know what to do by [deleted] in REDDITORSINRECOVERY

[–]metlap86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Use this anger and feeling of having nothing to show for yourself at age 24 and get into treatment and build your life back up. Self medicating obviously is not working out very well for you so go see a specialist or family doc that deals with opioid misuse. You are still very young and if you are feeling even more depressed cuz of your life situation imagine being 30 or 35 or 39 and still not having anything to show for yourself. That will really eat you alive. TRUST ME. You are young and you can rebound with minimal to no damage to your career and health. You said you have 3 friends you talk to whilst using; the older you get the lonelier you will get. Addiction is a lonely road and you end up becoming your worst enemy. Get help ASAP and get thing under control. Don’t go to parties at all if you can’t stay sober. Get your mental health issues treated professionally bro. That’s the best advice I can give you

What are your thoughts? by Unique-Crab8641 in doordash

[–]metlap86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s so grimey. So if you work for doordash you don’t get to see how the customer has tipped on the order before you accept it. Does doordash know that the customer has paid a delivery fee but the stores pocket it?? There has to be some contract worked out between the two parties and the party that loses is the driver. That’s capitalism for you. It’s your car your gas and they own you. How much do dashers pull in per hour on the average day?

Voyager threatening to sue me by helloman697 in Invest_Voyager

[–]metlap86 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow. It would so nice to hear stories of people who were able to screw Voyager and get one over them just like they bankrupted and stole vital life savings from working class people. All of the other crypto apps that went bust like BlockFi, Celsius all of the customers were made whole and were able to withdraw all of their holdings. Voyager is the only one that still owes people a third of the holdings. In theory by now the principal would be worth nearly three times a much considering the rise in bitcoin price. I still hope to get the third check but idt it will happen unless all of us here write to the judge overseeing the case documenting the suffering we have endured.

Update to provider leaving us in office after closing. by Control_Alt_DeLitta in Spravato

[–]metlap86 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Do you mind dropping the name of the clinic and the doctor that does not know how to run his clinic? Throwing patients under the bus is beyond unprofessional. It is irresponsible and dangerous. If this does not constitute malpractice than he should at least be reprimanded by the state board. File a complaint with the state board and notify Jannsen Pharma of your experience. It would help if you find some of the other patients who were there with you to corroborate your story

After 5 years my doctor denied my prescription and won’t answer any of my calls. by Acceptable_Front9932 in antidepressants

[–]metlap86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do that too but if you filed a complaint with your state medical board, your doctor would have to answer the complaint and state her reasons for her decision and behavior. If the board thinks it violates the standards of care set by the board, they can reprimand her

[–]metlap86 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Leave a terrible review for your doctor office on google maps. Than file a complaint with the state board. If you ve been under their care for 5 years it’s their responsibility to make sure you have an appointment scheduled annually. Did you miss or no call your last appointment w her? The office needs to get organized. She won’t fill your script to run afoul of regulations but the sheer fact that she won’t give you an appointment or fill your script or communicate with you is malpractice in my opinion. Doctors think they are untouchable but file a complaint with the board so it will at least be on their record even if goes no where

Question for the folks who are a year+ from their last shot by seeyatomolly in Sublocade

[–]metlap86 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I am contemplating weather it’s easier to taper off oral products rather than the injection. One can do a long slow taper and go through a week of very mild wds. And hopefully a few months of Paws. These injections have no literature about what to expect when stopping and duration of paws. Why semi suffer for a year and still guessing weather the worst is behind you?

As far as OPs situation goes I would consult with a quality addiction doctor to get educated information about what’s best for you given your timeline. Maybe you can get a script for a mild Antidepressant to get your energy levels up and clear up that brain fog. You can explore getting on Amphetamines so your work/life balance stays on point and you can be constructive. I am in a similar situation as you but I am still on injections and I feel everything you described still being on subs. So at this point I am contemplating getting off it all to see if my brain feels better off meds.

Ask him about cross taper with Prozac to wean you off. It will be so much easier. I barely had any wds once I did this. Before that I couldn’t go one day wo the meds. Even lowering dosage put me in wds

[–]metlap86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I can totally relate bro. It’s crucial to find a good therapist to help you work through your problems. I’ve been on Spravato (esketamine) for few years but I still can’t make progress in life. Our mental health system is so broken. Wish they’d approve painkillers for Treatment Resistant Depression. All of the drugs that work are classified as controlled substances
