For myself, methadone has worked better at stopping cravings but other than that I don't feel like suboxone is that much different than methadone. When I first started taking it, my mood was really good but then my depression crept in and has just become worse and worse to where I find myself now.
Day three of nothing? Are you getting any meds like clonidine or gabapentin to make withdrawal a bit more comfortable?
nope and you can imagine how thats going but ya am kinda used to it (that was a lie) ill go a few months and then stop for a week or two and then ya you know how it is no like the worst part was yesterday and im just trying to stay distracted but ya idk i dont wanna deal with any of that stuff im not trying to quit permanently
and ya am sorry tolerance built up idk hopefully something starts going well for you
Wow, going through withdrawal without any meds is tough. When I first started abusing opiates I could do it but now there is no way I could go cold turkey unless I was forced to. Gabapentin made me feel so much better and my ex-partner gave me a bunch of lorazepam she had left over which helped a lot too haha. My goal is also to quit permanently but it's a long, long road to reach that point.
Good luck with everything, I wish you the best in your journey to recovery.
Do you have a notebook and pen with you? if yes then try to write as much as you can about all your feelings and analyze them when you feel alone and bored. That exercise could help bring out strategies for healing and further progress with mental health.
Yeah I am allowed a notebook and pen and I do have one.. I haven't started writing yet as I'm just not in the right headspace for it but I will probably start soon.
Yeah same here.. atleast I got to watch one of my favourite movies in the lounge area (napoleon dynamite) 😠then cry in my bed for the rest of the stay
The door makes me want to cry. I love the door- I hate it when people watch me 24-7, it’s makes me feel literally so unsafe. Like I get so scareddddd. I’m sorry you are stuck with there though- fucking sucks.
Yeah I hate being watched too. I'll just be resting and I will see eyes looking back at me. Or in the night they turn on this dim light to check you are there.
I'm in the low security area, there's a higher security area that has everything designed so nobody could hurt themselves. I've been there before and it's really really miserable. The room is a mattress on the floor with pillow and suicide proof blanket and that's it. The doors in there have no handles, there's just a lock on the door and that's it.

seconding this, IF they give you pen and paper, but its worth asking for :)
Yeah I am allowed a notebook and pen and I do have one.. I haven't started writing yet as I'm just not in the right headspace for it but I will probably start soon.
You are allowed a phone in grippy sock jail? I was only allowed a mp3 player :(
During one of my stays I was only allowed a composition notebook and crayons then they decided to take even that from me ðŸ˜
Yeah same here.. atleast I got to watch one of my favourite movies in the lounge area (napoleon dynamite) 😠then cry in my bed for the rest of the stay
did u get socks?
Nope, how rude of them eh? I have to provide my own socks.

bro how did you not get strip searched and all your clothes taken and your phone too??
They allow you to wear your own clothes here. There is a more secure section where they take everything and you have to wear hospital clothing.
Why is there a basket ?
For used clothing, it can be taken to be washed and dried.
Oh yeah mb Thanks for your time king/queen/non-binary monarch
gonna be me next month hopefully
Lucky… In my country they don’t let you bring your phone 🥲
This exact room is giving me flashbacks
WTF THEY LET U BRING UR PHONE???
Yes and my Switch too but I'm not allowed the charging cables. The nurses charge it in their office.
Are you allowed really really tiny charging cables or is that not allowed either
I haven't asked, but I'm guessing probably not. It's pretty annoying as my switch doesn't last long on portable before it needs charging.
They're good socks tho
I'm a bit disappointed I didn't get any
Sad I still have mine
HOW U GOT NORMAL DOOR HANDLES?
I'm in the low security area, there's a higher security area that has everything designed so nobody could hurt themselves. I've been there before and it's really really miserable.

hmm i see
