This epidemic affects everyone. I see it everyday with patients who wanna get off that shit but can't. It's the biggest health crisis in the U.S.

Case and point. Go sit in county jail for a week and you will see all kinds of junkies who in fact not doing it. So despite ppl wanting to give excuses and say these folks can’t stop even tho they “want to so bad” they stop just fine while locked up. They get out and go straight to dope house. They don’t want to quit!!!Comment -

#44They don’t want to bad enough bro., I know it not pc to be honest about anything in this pussyfied society but seeing how I’ve done/do more drugs than great deal of those junkies who can’t help themselves I think I’m qualified on the subject.

#46I wonder if he even knew he was taking fentanyl.
Could have been cut into his other shit, depending on where he got his oxys.
Who knows? Fentanyl kills a lot of people who never knew they were taking it, especially when the cartels are cutting the heroin with it.
Very possible.

#51Those drugs are great the first few days
Crazy and irrational thing is after the first week, they lose their effect and honestly, you lose motivation, become lazy and dont even feel that good. But we keep taking them anyways.
So ya take a little more, and feel good for an hour and then just as the drugs wear off you start to feel crappy until your next dose. It just makes no sense
Too bad ppl cant think rationally while on drugs or they would stop cold turkey
As for Mr. Skaggs I figured as much the day the news broke. Not a good way to go out. May God have mercy on his soul.Comment -

#56Fentanyl is 1000x’s stronger than Morphine but we only give 1/1000 the amount... the average dose of Fentanyl we give at one time is 25-50 micrograms, and the average morphine dose is generally 2-4milligrams. The math doesn’t show exactly an exact 1000’th conversion but its close
And Morphine in its raw form is 10x’s stronger than Opium, which is the precursor to Dilaudid, Oxy, Fentanyl, etc.... If people had access to Morphine in its raw form we’d see more overdoses and Morphine would be the devil drug, not Fentanyl
100micrograms Fentanyl= 10milligrams Morphine
25micrograms Fent= 2.5milligrams Morphine
The problem is that people are getting Sufentanyl powder and mixing it with blow so the buyer has no clue what amount of Fentanyl is mixed in, and it’s not evenly distributed throughout the mixture, its not a liquid so diffusion doesn’t take place.
Bathtub chemistry
Fentanyl is a wonderful drug when given correctly, as are all drugs.Last edited by The Kraken; 08-31-19, 10:56 AM.Comment -

I think it was something like less than 1% of Fent prescriptions were for it's purpose.
Doctor's were giving this shit to patients with cramps. Unreal.

#63Yep, very very sad. A few Dr’s ruined it for those those people that could really benefit from it. And those they were giving it to for cramps, or “cramps”, it probably ruined their lives as well.
And it was all for profit for those few dr’s...
Yet we have people like MinnyFats argue the gov’t should stay out of our opium dens. I understand his point but it ignores all the lives that are lost and ruined, and the huge cost society shoulders all so a few dr’s can bring home a huge haul. Our opium dens these days are the doctors offices.
I read an article within the last few days that said 41 doctors were responsible for prescribing over 60,000,000 oxy pills. Think about that, 41 people abused their prescription authority, profited an unknown amount, likely in the millions per person, and bow society is left to pick up the pieces. And those that really get the shoet end of the stick? Chronic pain sufferers that need a small amount of Norco every day to be productive. Doctors are mortified to write any pain pill for anyone because they dont want the DEA knocking down their door. I dont blame them.
Gov’t oversight is absolutely needed in our opium dens, and on backpage where kids are being traffickedComment -

#64It's crazy Kraken, just crazy.
I use Oxy's when the the radio frequency treatments wear off.
Because of insurance delays, scheduling issues, etc, they've really strung me out. My mind is in a good spot, but when quit in October, after RF is done on 5 levels, C3-T1. Not going cold turkey this time, I plan to use my post procedure pills to ween off. I should end up with plenty extra the proof my head is right is that I won't take them, at all, for months.
Only problem is that all these delays are leading to the right side RF wearing off. It's not as bad as the left, that's for sure, but it becomes medicine worthy as the nerves come back, they get pretty pissed off.
So now I have to make decisions and prepare for battle. The current decision is to quit in OCT and rely on CBD and THC products, including day long patches, to finish out the year and get that right side ordered. If the right side is done within a couple months, I might take some pills in the few days following the procedure.
Body is dependent, there is no doubt, but I am not addicted and my mind has been in a good spot throughout. All this planning and thought about it can lend to the addiction side (I admit that as a possible symptom or sign, thinking and planning) but I have proven multiple times, through a few cycles, that I can do this.
But I admit, each time you do this, it seems to get harder. Last January I quit cold turkey and was flu like for 2 weeks. Fukkin sucked.
So this time, I'm farther out from RF than ever before,so the pain is terrible, been taking them for months now, doing my best to take days off, but admit that I need the medicine now and will just have to deal with the hell on the backend...hence the weening decision in October.
Just hope I can get more than 4 months before I need them again.
Thank God for marijuana but I wish I could end this cycle. It doesn't look like it will end soon.
Sometimes I feel like Andrew Luck, sick of the never ending cycle.
Real talk, bro.

#66During those two weeks I had pills, tons of them. Looked at them everyday, opened the bottle, shook it around, laid the pills out on the counter, pushed them around, smelled them, you name it. I never took one though.
I even put them in the cutter and cut some in half, just to hear that familiar sound.
All to prove I was only dependent, not addicted. So far I have been a rock, and am proud of that.
But pride often comes before fall.
It's cathartic to talk about honestly and I realize that my situation is nothing, it's cake and under control, compared to so many others suffering out there on the regular.

Early on in these cycles, I forced up to two consecutive days off a week. When doing that, after months of taking them, there is literally no issue stopping.
But last year I went two months without those days off, and had that January. A big difference in the experience.
This time it will be more than 4 months of consistent dosing, pretty much, but 2-3 solid ones leading up to October.
It's a busy time and shit is hitting the fan, so I am taking them everyday with the plan to deal with the repercussions in October.
Just seems like weening is a good plan going in, maybe not. I know it can just extend things.
It's possible that when I go some time without, I might say fuk just don't take any.,
With pain on the right side mounting, and the plan to rely on CBD and THC, then you may have a point, weening may not be all that beneficial.
Let's just see how I handle September, maybe I can take some days off and get ahead of the situation, I suppose that's all day to day.
Thanks Rudy, It's nice to be reminded that there are options come October, and options I've battled through before. Maybe there isn't a benefit to weening, just wasting pills.

#70If you really have issues coming off you can always find some suboxone. I’ve found those for 2-4 days squash any physical withdrawals then when I stop taking those I’m gravy.Comment
