Hi all. I'm new here, and just want to introduce myself. I can't write much, but I want to at least say hi. It's been about five years since I've had any problems, although I've done quite a bit of chipping during that time. Early this summer I got on poppy tea, thinking, 'hey, it's all natural, not a problem.' Yeah, I was wrong.
I kicked Friday, and it's still pretty bad. Poppy wd isn't as intense as H, but it lasts longer. The physical I could handle if it weren't for this damned depression and boredom.
I go to a doc today in a few hours. The original plan was to see him before the kick, but I couldn't get in until today and I wanted to take advantage of a three-day weekend. Ah, the joys of a "functional" addict.
I can't wait to see the doc. All I can think about really is getting sleep. It's not even so much using as sleeping that I want right now. It would be a hell of a lot better than this apathetic, black, lethargic depression I'm in.
Anyway, that's enough for right now. My screen name is from a Bouncing Souls song. I'm past 25 now, but this was my theme song for a while. As they put it, "Woke up one day and I was 25, with a hell of a hangover and some demented sense of pride." Yeah, that's pretty much me. Hi. |

Karen - Thanks for the response. I was surprised by how cool the doctor was. I was scared I would be looked down on, but he was straight-forward, honest, and spoke to me like I was an adult. He wasn't condemning, and he didn't shrug me off as a lost cause. Just talking to him made me feel a lot better.
I've actually been asleep the past few hours! He gave me scripts for Clonodine (both pills and the patch), Bentyl and Robaxin. He also asked me to be a guinnee pig in testing Lunesta (new sleep drug) in Opiate withdrawal.
I actually feel pretty good right now. I can barely move between the bed and the computer (Clonodine side effect), but I slept, and I don't feel like I'm going to have a heart attack.
Poppy tea is just ground up poppy pods, steeped in recently boiled water with a little bit of lemon juice for extraction of the opiates. If you were to dehydrate the water out of the tea, you'd have opium.
I'll give you an update tomorrow. I really wish I would have gotten this stuff before I kicked, but I'm grateful to at least have it now. Not sure if I'm going to try to work tomorrow. I'm so happy about feeling good these last two hours, that I feel like I could do anything--even if in actuallity I can only stagger a few feet across the room!
Thanks again for the response. It's good to know there are people out there who can relate. |

25,
I'm so glad you found a doctor who you could relate too,
and bravo that he treated you with respect.
I wish you luck in detoxing and feeling much better
soon.
I'm glad to hear you are not going to work yet, you must
take good care of yourself, or you wont be useful to anyone
else.
Sounds to me like you are on the right track, keep
it going,
Much Love Karen
