How Does Opioid Addiction Work?
Просмотров 11 тыс.7 лет назад
This is the first of many videos that will be uploaded to this channel dealing with the Opioid Crisis and methods and techniques to help end the addiction. I felt that most of the information on the web had a tendency to demonize those unfortunate enough to be addicted. I want to present accurate information that will help people understand how opioids work, and then how to use that information...

    VERY IMPORTANT TO READ FOR ANYONE GPING THROUGH ROUGH TIMES. Just started watching and alread know its not gonna be mentioned in the video. ... One can ELIMINATE most of withdrawals or even ll of them in less than 7h. First you MUST BE CLEAN for at least 2-4 days from opioids, 5-7 days if using longer duration opioids like metadone. ★There is a OTC drug called DXM or Dextromethorphan HBr salt which is mostly used to prevent coughing some use it recreationaly but i highly advise against such use even tho its not directly toxic. It usilually comes at 30mg doses ... Its psychoactive effects start from 120mg and above, lasting from 5-8h depending on a dose. I would recomand two sessions one with 420mg and other at 360mg two days after. Dxm is a NMDA receptor antagonist, so its core effect is dissociation which becomes psychedelic in nature at doses 400-450mg and above (visuals starts at 450 for most people). It takes 1-2h for the effects to manifest, during which u must lie or sit down and not trying to walk. its almost impossible and there is a VERY high chance u can fall and injure yourself. As drug takes aaffects, one should already feel opioid withdrawals to fade. Pharma knows this as there are already sci. papers out in 90s and 00s but becouse of financial interests it has decided to estinguish folire with fire using longer lasting opioid - metadone. You can thank me later. ✌️ You can thank me later There has to be no ephedrine or paracetamol (tylenol) present in tablets, some even have both of them. So only DXM Hbr and obviously fillers. Just started watching and can already tell, you not gonna mention this life changing info. With which i saved my friends life with 2 doses, a friend that was addicted to h for almost 4 years. There are substances that have an ability to reduce or eliminate tolerance to both opioid and dopaminergic receptors (D1 and D2

    This is why I don’t do my opioids every single day I give myself two or three days to give to let my body get the opiates out of my system and then I’ll do it again. Yes, the pain is unbearable for those two or three days, but I would rather not be dependent on them because one day I feel like I won’t need them.

Knowing it's possible to fix your life knowing there's people out there that have done what I thought was impossible gives me hope I will make it through as well. Those who share their experiences don't know how much it helps when you're about to give up, it gives you the strength knowing somone who actully know what it's like to go through this tell you it's possible, it's not the same somone telling you you can do it when they have no idea what it's like, but hearing somone who knows what it's like that helps a lot since you understand it firsthand and made it out gives so much hope. so thanks for sharing.

    Has anyone tried this with methadone? Months ago i tried to do a similar process, but I think it needs more time than a week to get used to the new dose. Probably the key is divide the dose in 4, it should help to avoid feeling any withdrawal symptom. Also having someone else to talk to should help a lot.

    Important: using a pill cutter, even on a “scored” pill does Not guarantee that the medication is evenly dispersed by half. It is possible that one of the halves has 1/4 of medicine & the other half has 3/4. The Only way you KNOW what you are getting is to have the formulation of the dose you want, in a single pill. Pills manufacturers do not guarantee that half a pill contains half the medication. Manufacturers only guarantee that a single pill contains the amount of medication it was made to contain. Please- do not try to taper off by cutting pills: instead get reduced dosage pills in the amount you are using to taper. Example: you taper from 1mg x 4/day to begin, get prescriptions for .25mg & .5mg. Begin tapering by taking ( 1 x.5 + 1 x .25) four times a day. ALL those tapering any med, i wish you ALL the Best.

    I've taken prescribed hydrocodone for probably 15 years. Does that mean that I'm going to continue to be depressed for years after I quit? But here's my real question: I rashly stopped all at once nine days ago. And I haven't had any noticeable withdrawal symptoms. How can that be?? Is my long usage going to result in a delayed tsunami of hideous withdrawal??? I really need an answer here! And thank you--your videos are clear as crystal and enormously helpful. I probably better tell my doc that, rather than just stemming pain with gabapentin, I should do your taper. And I'm not sure how I'm going to be able to ease my severe osteoarthritis, complex scoliosis, and stenosis . . . . eeeee . . . ibuprofen is good, but I'm not sure how good.

  • @joninct

    I'm a chronic pain patient. I get prescribed medications. I have been on pain killers since around 1999, maybe a little earlier or later. I am so tired of going through withdrawal every time the pharmacy runs out of one or both of them. I noticed I adjust to part of the withdrawal symptoms in about 3 days. However, I have been out of MS-Cottin for 1 week and still notice some problems, but only when I think about them. Last week, the pharmacy ran out of both the MS-Cottin and the Oxycodone. I ended up being forced on 1/2 of a 15mg Oxycodone for a few days. I don't feel any different at this point. While I managed to fill the oxycodone prescription, I have decided to step down. I'm going to drop to 1/4 tablet in a week or two, then attempting the elimination of 1 dose every 1 or two weeks. If I can't tolerate that, I'm going to purchase a milligram scale and use your advice from there. Thank you. I was accidently poisoned while working in Algeria and got chronic pancreatitis as a host of other issues. One of my concerns is the opioids slow digestion. In many people that causes constipation, however, with me, it pretty much stops my chronic diarrhea. I'm sure there must be other medications that can fix that though. I want to be free of being treated as a newly released prisoner on probation. Every month (or two) I have to see a pain management doctor. I undergo drug counts and random drug tests. I can only get my prescription filled at one pharmacy and in state only. These are hard prescriptions to have due to the war on legal drugs and doctors. Thank you for the video and advice. I will be talking to my doctor in a few weeks for the appointment made last time I saw her. I never used pills to get high. I just don't think the pain I'm in anymore really requires them. I'll soon find out.

    It takes self discipline and that's something most addicts don't have. Addiction from opiates/opioids is the most powerful addiction known. I have taken Opiates daily for over 20 years. In that time I have had to go through horrific withdrawal. I have very recently started taking Suboxone at the highest allowed amount. It is barely doing the job but I'm two weeks without taking opioid medication which I supplemented with street drugs, heroin, oxy, you name it, whatever would get me through to my prescription renewal. It started with back surgery that went bad hemorrhaging after back surgery 4 levels of spinal fusion, decompression, bone grating, simulated bone packed around the titanium rods that went up both sides on my lower spine fastened with screws into the vertebra. I was to take a year to recover but had to go back to work within two weeks after surgery thinking I could be careful enough I'd recover. I didn't. Bleeding into the bone packed around the titanium rod prevented it from hardening. Now I had a mass of soft mud allowing movement sending throbbing bursts of pain through my back into my hips and legs. Its been horrific for years. My liver is shot now and lost 53 lbs. in 2 months. I'm very ill. So don't throw everyone into the same basket thinking weaning themselves off is possible. It is not possible in my case. I've tried harder than most can imagine.
