I'll say y'all are!! So grateful for people like y'all, genuinely. Reminds me to not give up, and that there are people in this country still that are intelligent, empathetic, understanding, and forward thinking. ...all this is easy for me to forget while living in a state like Texas. Phewww!

😘

​@@DrBAddictionRecoveryHowdy Doc 🤠🤟🙏🇬🇧

​​@@DrBAddictionRecoverymake a video about drug replacement therapy or similar using pharmaceutical grade diacetylmorphine "heroin". As it shows to be very promising in the UK and elsewhere in the world where it can be legally used to treat addiction or dependence. And the patients do not require insane lengths of time to taper off to quit because of the half life.

If that’s true, her mother should be ashamed of herself as that’s her blood and guts (daughter) and not even giving her late daughter a jacket in freezing conditions. It just shows the ignorance this mother has and her daughter at that point had no support network to help her get into treatment. I’m fighting my hell with my fentanyl addiction for 2 years now along with meth. Literally, I want to quit but the withdrawals are painful and Suboxone will not work because along the way, I will get urges to smoke and use again. I would rather get a shot like Sublocade. I smoke about 20-30 fentanyl M30 tabs a day. I spend all my money on dope and I hate it. I hate myself and I do feel hopeless very often after I lost my mother who passed away in 2022 from having Stage 5 Parkinson’s and I was her caregiver and watching her die in front in me destroy everything in me. That’s why I just numb myself with drugs. I have no real friends or family left so I have nothing to live for anymore. 😞😞

💔 that's heartbreaking... my ex-girlfriend died in the hospital a month ago from a antibiotic resistant bacterial infection due to her IV drug use... She was on subutex, but for some reason couldn't put the needle down. She received terrible care and was shamed by everyone around her. I showed her unconditonal love all the way up until the moment she died. I'm. so sad 😢

​@@Jmeez69I'm so sorry for your loss! You've got an angel forever by your side.. live for her!!

That's so sad. She didn't want to feel the cold from her mother.

Its crazy how addiction even is somehow tolerated and okay if you can be addicted and financially stable… . If I had never ending money, I would definitly never quit probably lol. The worst troubles come with being broke and getting criminal. Health is the second thing that declines but if you get good quality and can buy bulk to avoid overdosing on every new batch 10 times a day, you can take a lot of most drugs, ecspecially opioids and even get old and stay healthy. Its probably even harder to quit when you can afford it and not have to do such suicidal activities and start shooting up to make the most of every dollar that youve spent on drugs.

🙏 stay strong. Thank you. And I am sure there are others but if down in Orange County CA come see us.

@@user-hq5ps7dx7dgo to a meeting if you’re not trolling. Which I think you are

You rock

Good lord, tapering off in 10 days is fucking horrible. You might as well quit cold turkey on heroin 😭 Quittin MAT in such a short time is the best recipie for relapse. Its just stupid. I quit benzos and Suboxone within 4 weeks one time due to a bad treatment center here in my area and it did nothing but getting me to believe that I would never be able to get sober because the withdrawals are so horrible. I relapsed as soon as I got out, then quit again 2 weeks later and then i collapsed randomly 3 days later somewhere in the city because I couldnt sleep for so long and my body couldnt handle both withdrawals from the benzos and heroin and the insomnia. Now Im on methadone and was able to quit benzos. I never thought it was possible and I thought killing myself was the only way I can get out of this cycle. All these bad doctors and treatment centers should quit instead of doing everything wrong and making the addicts believe that they are worth nothing and will never be able to sober up in a humane way. I hope you can make the taper. I wish nothing but the best for you. Whatever might happen, keep trying and believe in yourself! You can make it! PS: I would reccomed that you should lower the dose as heavy as possible in the first couple days. From my experience, everything above 8mgs doesnt make a big difference due to the ceiling effect and you might be able to cut your dose in half in one day without withdrawals. The last mgs are the hardest, keep that in mind!

Your an absolute warrior,my doc had me on 150 oxycontin,600 pregablin I stated it was becoming a problem,after 9 days laying in my own feces and convulsing I tried to take my own life.They were stopped abruptly knew I was in trouble when local heroin addict said 20mg oxy holds him all day.

@JasonBrown-dd7dj it's horrible when you abruptly quit. I was around 150-180 mgs morphine plus adding about 200 mgs tramadol. That was a fkn nightmare. It took like 9 months untill it actually felt like the withdrawaling was completely done. 2 years to feel like things completely settled down. But 7 to years later I went on suboxone. I had a small relapse with coke that eventually put me back to opioids. Only had withdrawals for like a few weeks. Then went on the suboxone about 3 months later. My suboxone treatment is kinda experimental. I had zero withdrawal symptoms wheb I started it. My dr told me I had ptsd from the withdrawal. The suboxone changed everything for me. It fixed all the stuff i was dealing with before and after the drug use.

I really do like Sharing my story. Especially because my suboxone treatment and experience is so unique. I'd really love to share and talk about it on someone's channel if they'd be willing to have me

@@jorgynes6443 what mg suboxone did you jump off .More important how did you end up on it?

Congratulations i have been clean for 8 years now i quite my self as well I started on opiates then moved to methadone for 4 years the withdrawal is real a struggle for sure it’s worth it i will never go back i had every reason to i lost my 22 year ild son 2 years ago i felt like it to numb the pain i thought about it and i decided not best decision i made

You can personally text Nicole: 501 471 9455 She will help.❤

Considering every issue the patient faces, physiological, mental, and social. In addiction, considering the fact that they all play on each other and in a dynamic flux. Hope that helps

@@DrBAddictionRecovery it does, thank you. I'm looking for that unicorn provider that treats substance, and process / behavioral addictions. And all the alphabet soup of mental health DX. Maybe I could find someone that can wipe 60 years off the slate, and just help build me all back from scratch. 😭🤦🏼‍♀️🤣

Be careful. I took suboxone for 7 years and it ruined my teeth. Just had 40k worth of dental work done. It’s also hell to get off of. Look into the sublocade shot. Best of luck

I have been on methadone for 2 and a half years. I'm now down to 4 mg.

Awesome! Thank you!

@@DrBAddictionRecovery Thank you so much!

@@DrBAddictionRecovery hi Dr B! I sent you an email a few days ago and i respect how busy you must be; just wanted to make sure it didnt go to your spam or junk folder. The same name which appears here is the first part of my email address from gmail. Thank you doc!

Medication assisted treatment

​@DrBAddictionRecovery Hola, Dr B,...... Just wanted say, Mat Program saves lives

Dont give me a hearth, just simply anwser...

@@JasonBrown-dd7djIm from Poland. I've got this prescription to hop into some sort of program, because buprorphine is not for me. Ofc im lying to the doc i'm taking this morphin per oral, but still its better than buying on the streets for 1000% more money. Living a totally normal life because of it. Working, studying etc. My life no more focus on how to get another pill and money. So you're kinda wrong, but i know how it works in USA and i get it.

@@JasonBrown-dd7dj ps idk from where u git this numbers about "average heroin addict także equivalent to 100mg morphine a day" but its totally untrue. Maybe its true if heroin has 15% of purity.

Too complex to answer and I’m not sure what the question is. Are you saying you ready to quit but don’t know how?

I have

@@caffrey1100 , sometimes a switch to a longer acting benzodiazpine helps. Doctors will sometimes give patients valium or klonopin to wean off the shorter addicting ones like xanax.

Why do you need to stop? Sounds odd I know

Are these from a doctor?

@@DrBAddictionRecovery cus I just have to, I don’t enjoy my life as much becouse I need some Xanax to relax myself or I feel pretty crappy. Dissapointed inmyself cus I had beaten like a 5 year dope habit with suboxone was feelin good all the time.

What should I do dr b should I try to taper my dose. Every time I try to I just end up taking the whole 1mg. I’m so lazy. And also i was always really skinny like 135 pounds when I started the benzo recently Im now 175 they make me eat allot. And they give me swollen ankles especially if I sit on the couch allot. I have been having this chest pain h for months now and I have very high blood pressure does that sound bad like My pressure is ussually 145 over like 95
