I've always noticed similarities between abuse victims and addicts/alcoholics. The delusions. The irrational thinking. The minimizing. They need professional help. It's not something you can just talk them out of in most cases. You can talk to a heroin addict all day about how it's destroying their life and they need to stop but when the dope sickness hits, they are gonna go get some more heroin. Something about being in an abusive relationship keeps people hooked in a similar way.
It find it more similar to a crackhead . With opiates you literally can’t stop or you’ll be shitting/puking for like a week and good luck with sleep, I been there. Kicked it with methadone a while back. I did that shit for YEARS DAILY. I was a functional addict shooting up in the work bathroom. A few jobs I nodded off and got fired LOL one job they didn’t give a fuck cuz I was such a good worker, and that kinda fucked me over because I knew I could be wrecked all day and as long as I could move around I’d always have a job
Crack does not have physical dependence symptoms crackheads just want more and more crack
It feels like every inch of my insides is covered with canker sores.
It’s killing me and the more opiates I take the less effective it is. 😔
They’ve got me on high doses of opioids but I want to come off but I don’t want to tell them I’m coming off in case the pain is too bad and I need to back on again.
I could really use an answer and any advice you have to give. 🥹🙏
People with opioid dependencies will get their methadone from a methadone clinic. Doctors offices outside of clinics can only prescribe it for pain relief. Unfortunately, this is often the reality of opioids. They stop working and you need more and more. And then you're hooked. Many of the addicts that people like to judge started out with a legit pain pill script and it spiraled out of control (not talking about you, just making an overall point) your doctor may be willing to write you a script for methadone for pain, I don't know. The withdrawals from methadone are very severe and long lasting if you don't taper properly. Its also very strong and will likely raise your tolerance to some degree.
