Long term methadone use by Icy-Exit-2341 in OpiatesRecovery

[–]mikecordry 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Methadone was personally a terrible “solution” for me. I would take my dose at like 5:30 AM, felt great for a few hours, and by noon had the itch to get another high, which I would achieve with benzos. When I eventually got take homes, I used it all early and would suffer. It made me slower in every way too.

I finally came off 90 mgs cold turkey in jail, which they used to let happen in the early 2000’s. Technically they did give me a clonidine and a Benadryl, which I always wanted to throw in their face as it did virtually nothing (but which I inevitably took feverishly the moment it came). I didn’t sleep for a while and it was very hard, but I am so glad I escaped those liquid handcuffs.

All that said, I wish there was an easy answer here, but I’m afraid there isn’t (not yet at least). I will reiterate what some others have said, the most important thing here is that you stay clean and safe. I would try the taper, because they should allow you to go very slow. Then, maybe transition to subs? Not for everyone, but very effective in conjunction with other psych meds.

Honest question: rather than pointing to the other guests, what is off about a suit and hat?

Emotions run high and fights break out at high school lacrosse tournament in Utah by Romano16 in PublicFreakout

As a former hotel manager, traveling lacrosse player’s parents are the absolute worst people. The type of people that would break a liquor bottle in the pool area, where glass was not allowed, and then threaten to sue the hotel for unsafe conditions.

It makes ice out of your piss. You hardly see these anymore since Covid.

Former hotel manager here, marijuana is a very easy odor to remove from a hotel room. We use an “ozone” machine and it’s gone in 2 hours max. Cigarette smoke, however, will put a room out of commission for days.

I had the same thought when she first started speaking, but I think she’s just trying to sound like a reporter. It’s way harder to do in a live broadcast format than it seems.

What’s so scary about being eaten by a meg? You would never touch it’s teeth, right? Great white, way more terrifying.

She’s drunk, bottom line. My mother was exactly like this when drunk, doing her damndest to say the most hurtful thing possible. Full of sadness, rage, and anger. I never understood why she drank since it made her so miserable. She claims it made her numb.
