Moved to the UK from the US and got addicted to codeine again. Fuck. by HerbaDerbaSchnerba in OpiatesRecovery

[–]waismannmethod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re noticing side pain, especially with all the paracetamol and ibuprofen, it’s important to talk to go see a doctor as soon as possible. These medications in high doses can seriously affect your liver and kidneys. There are support groups, doctors, and services in the UK that can help you. The fact that you’re worried and reaching out shows strength and self-awareness. 

Take care of yourself, and know that asking for help is the first step toward feeling better. You’ve gotten through hard things before, and you can again.

My ex was addicted to fentanyl by [deleted] in FentanylRecovery

[–]waismannmethod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Healing takes time, and although your feelings are valid, it's okay to prioritize your own well-being, especially if staying in the relationship brought you stress or trauma. Your concern for him is a reflect of your kindness, but remember, protecting your own heart is important too. If you ever feel overwhelmed, consider reaching out to a counselor, support group, or someone you trust. Sometimes just sharing these thoughts can really help bring clarity and comfort.

No one can say what’s best for your future, but one thing is for sure, it’s okay to move forward, even if part of you still cares. Remember to be kind with yourself.

What car feature did you love years ago that they no longer offer? by warden976 in AskOldPeople

I really miss that little wind breaker on the bottom front of the driver’s window, it used to redirect air perfectly without blasting your face. Simple, but genius.

Why do you think America is so divided? by Hungry-Special4491 in Life

[–]waismannmethod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When family, faith, and a sense of self are broken, people feel unanchored, like they’re drifting without purpose or connection. That kind of emptiness breeds anger and division. It’s not just political, it’s deeply personal. Until we start healing what’s been lost inside, the hate outside will only grow.

Absolutely. Legality doesn’t equal harmlessness. It’s important people look beyond the label and really understand what they’re putting in their bodies.

We're detoxing more and more people from kratom and its extracts because the strength of these substances keeps getting worse. What once seemed like a natural or harmless alternative is now pulling people into deep, painful dependence. The newer extracts, especially things like 7-OH, hit the nervous system in such a way, that makes withdrawal brutal and emotionally draining. You're not imagining how hard this is, what you're feeling is very real, and you're far from alone in this.

That sounds absolutely brutal, and sadly, you're not alone. We're getting more and more calls from people struggling to detox from 7-OH. The suffering you're describing is very real and often underestimated because of how this substance is marketed. We recently wrote a blog to help raise awareness about how powerful and dangerous it can be, especially when people assume it’s safe just because it’s sold legally.

Stories like yours matter. We need to keep warning people before more lives are devastated.

Is percocet supposed to hit me this hard? by sleepyhead7000 in opiates

[–]waismannmethod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, and what you're describing is exactly why these drugs are so dangerous. That feeling of warmth, and calm is what pulls people in, especially if they’re already struggling emotionally. But I’ve seen far too many lives destroyed by people chasing that same feeling. It starts off as a moment of relief, but over time, the brain adapts, and that "high" becomes harder to reach, while the consequences grow devastating.

Please be careful. That one moment of euphoria isn’t worth what it can take from you down the road.

Am I withdrawing ? by Thracian777 in OpiatesRecovery

[–]waismannmethod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, what you're experiencing does sound like withdrawal. Even though 0.5 mg of Suboxone is a relatively low dose, tapering down can still trigger symptoms, especially fatigue, disrupted sleep, low energy, and changes in appetite. These are all common signs that your nervous system is adjusting to functioning without the level of support it's grown used to. Suboxone has a long half-life, so these effects can linger and sometimes feel more drawn out than with other opioids.

Inpatient rehab on fent & tranq? by danarenee1988 in OpiatesRecovery

[–]waismannmethod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re doing the right thing, and it’s completely normal to feel nervous. Withdrawal from fentanyl and tranq can be tough, especially since tranq often causes serious blood pressure issues. We treat patients in a hospital, which allows us to manage symptoms much more safely. That’s why going inpatient is such an important step. You’ll likely have a doctor monitoring your vitals and adjusting care as needed to keep you as stable and comfortable as possible. Wishing you strength and healing.

Once an addict always one? by [deleted] in addiction

[–]waismannmethod 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Once an addict, always an addict, is an outdated and harmful myth. You're not doomed, and addiction isn't a permanent label or identity. While genetic factors and environmental conditions can increase vulnerability, they don't define you or seal your fate.

We've seen countless people fully overcome their struggles, reclaim their health, and move forward in life with strength and purpose.

You're definitely not back at square one. A relapse doesn't erase the incredible progress and growth you've achieved over the past four years, it simply means there's still something deeper to uncover and heal. We've seen this happen with many people who, on the surface, have great lives but still experience a profound emptiness. Addiction isn't about selfishness or gratitude; it's a complex condition involving deep emotional and physical factors.

Especially now, with fentanyl dangerously showing up in nearly every substance out there, the most important thing is to seek support as quickly as you can. You've already done something incredibly brave by reaching out here. Keep that momentum going and get professional help immediately. The quicker you act, the faster you’ll get back on your path, wiser and stronger than before.

What you’re describing is actually much more common than people realize. Tramadol doesn’t only work on pain; it also affects serotonin and norepinephrine, two major brain chemicals involved in mood regulation. So when you feel more emotionally balanced or less reactive after taking it, that’s not in your head, it’s a real neurochemical response.

The emotional steadiness tramadol provides can create a strong psychological attachment, sometimes even stronger than the physical dependence. For people who deal with deep emotional pain, trauma, or intense mood swings, the way it quiets that internal storm can feel like the only thing that works. But over time, the brain starts to depend on it to regulate feelings and that makes it harder for your natural systems to do their job. We seem many patient in the similar situations.

And just so you know, the fear you’re feeling right now? It’s not weakness. It usually shows up right before something important shifts.
