"Gabapentin has been associated with an increased risk of suicidal acts or violent deaths. In 2009, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a warning of an increased risk of depression and suicidal thoughts and behaviors in patients taking gabapentin, along with other anticonvulsant drugs modifying the packaging insert to reflect this. In July 2009, the manufacturer of gabapentin (Pfizer) went to trial regarding the association between gabapentin and the increased risk of suicide." - Wiki
Hey joel, i just want to let you know i stumbled on your videos from River Phoenix. Look man I dont know much about addiction but i can see from your expression that your tired and done, I watched Junkie Christmas and the appearance and your behavior was a clear difference, something you did was right and keep on doing it, you know people don't realize how much they got. I cant tell you what you should or sholdnt do, just know that you were on this earth for a purpose, keep on truckin man!
joel, just think about ur family and friends and how lost they will be without u. i know its the hardest thing in the world to quit an addiction, but killing urself isn't the answer. look at all the good things u will leave behind. life is full of peaks and valleys, however, u CAN get out of the bad valleys. just look at what eminem went through and how he came out of it, stronger and better after it. good luck mate. I'm not religious at all, but fuck it, God bless you.
hey joel i was addicted to crack, smack, methadone and anything and everything for 20 years, I've been clean now for 14 years. i was sick and tired of being sick and tired, its the hardest thing i ever had to do, i wish you all the best, try getting to an N.A meeting they helped me big time, remember one day at a time, never stop wanting to stop and you'll succeed xxx
Gabapentin (Neurontin) can be a Godsend for opiate withdrawal or it can fuck you up as bad as they did Joel in one of these videos. Glad it helped you, bro.
I once knew a guy who was on opiates. I watched him fall into a state of mental breakdown. All opiates fuck with your head, they just do it gradually over a long period of time. Hang in there buddy, we're all here for you.
joel, i think your wrong about opiates as prescribed helping, I am prescribed 150 mg of oxycodone a day I just turned 28 yrs old and as prescribed they do fuck your head I'm so suicidal lol as i sniff a 30, if i had the strenth to tell my doctor to take me off my oxys my life would get better, but the detox scares me and pain pills seem to help when you do them it seems better but really if you can go a few months with no opiates that when it will get better, I am prescribed the oxy and suboxone
Joel - Lyrica & Neurontin BOTH have pschyo-effective side effects. Lyrics can cause suicidal thoughts. I take it you have a wound that won't heal on your leg. Get to a Methadone Clinic Dude. I have friends who got off opiate via Methadone and live great lives But it ain't perfect. The 'done will prevent the jones & it has decades more of clinical usage than Lyrica which is mighty iffy. I'm a total stranger &I'm pulling for you & telling you those meds you named DO cause depression. LIVE!
Joel, It's Ann dood, gotta call me back plz, I'll inbox you my number at where I'm at. I keep calling ya back, but never any answer hun! Worried bout you!!
OBVIOUSLY YO ASS DONT READ THE COMMENTS!!! WE COMMENT AND YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE ENCOURAGED... STAY STRONG MAN WE GOT YOUR BACK LIKE WHITE ON RICE ... DONT LET OUR HELP GO IN VAIN
neurontin did the same to me i swear to god, i'm tryin to kick dope and methadone and xanaz and i'm just as lost and unhappy and suicidal as u.
but something is keeping us here and if u close ur eyes and remember what ur dreams were as a child, that's that something that's making you hold on.....REMEMBER, JUST TRY AND REMEBER, THAT'S WHAT I DO......and I will pray for you, I WILL KEEP PRAYING FOR YOU,ME AND EVERY OTHER PERSON OUT THERE THAT IS SUFFERING FROM THIS SICK ASS DISEASE. KEEP HOPE!
Also maybe you should try maintaining on kratom. Your brain won't fully heal while on it but it will heal somewhat, plus you can then use that time to get shit sorted out in your life so you can go clean if you want that. I saw your tea video - don't strain it, just drink the leaves it will have stronger effect. Next year's 2012 people are saying the whole world will end aren't you the least bit curious to see what if anything happens? Stay alive mister and dont take life so serious
You only get one life to be yourself, got all of eternity to be dead, and once you're dead you can't come back. You gotta find things in life you enjoy, and don't just dismiss this by being like "there's nothing I enjoy", you gotta find something.. take your mind off this other crap. You know if you stay clean you will get to a point where you're happier than you ever were with the drug, it takes a damn long time and the wait sucks but it does happen. Your brain heals to make it's own endorphins
(Cont.) If, possibly, you believe in destiny or a " purpose/meaning" to life besides banal existence, then maybe the feeling you have of something "making you hang on" to life is the fact that you have helped and have the potential to help SO many people! Keep hanging in there, Joel. You may not know it, but you have all of us behind you, cheering you on! I hope you did, at least, have a Merry Christmas! Good luck, Joel!
Joel, I've never written to you before, but I've watched all your videos and I want to BEG you not to do anything you might regret or anything that can't be undone (suicide)!!!!! I've read so many comments from people who have gotten clean successfully or who WANT to get clean because of you. I struggled with an addiction at age 20 and was headed down a very bad road. Fortunately, I got help and have been clean almost 8 years.
Joel, you language is s ounding like youre about to relapse. You have to think positive as hopeless and pointless as it may seem... hang in there man.
I hope you're feeling better by now. Cmon don't give up, you've been fighting a lot of obstacles and I really wish you'll overcome this one soon. Happy holidays for you and I hope you are able to find inner peace.
Sure you're not just doin the rehab shuffle...again? I dunno man, not that my experience has any corelation to yours , I just know that eventualy, you gotta get to a point with yourself where enough is enough. Not just " ok ill go to rehab, live in a cotton wool world for a while and get taken care of" I think if anything , those places over complicate shit. All you have to do is NOT use drugs. It's as simple as that. Took me 10 years to work that shit out. Fuck all the rehabs ect, just stop.
You've come a long way, Joel. You don't see it, but look how long and hard you've been fighting. You're tired, weary and feeling like you're at the end...but, you've come this far and you're so close. Keep on keeping on. You can help a lot of people if you keep helping yourself. Merry Christmas.
What's up Joel! You might or might not read this but i'm a 20 year old from the Midwest, been hooked to shit for over 2 years....disowned by my family, friends and lets just say the police have a thing out for me as well. Anyways I've watched most of your videos and in a small way they help me, get clean. Show me it is possible because i've tried and failed so miserably every time :(
dam dude just take the pain meds or if your going to hang in the city and be content get on the subbies fark all that other crap months of detox and rehab will turn anyones brain into a blabbering mess just been through it and failed epicly good luck budd tomorows another day
Joel man. Now you made me cry on Christmas Day motherfucker. I just want you to know, there is a 31 year guy in the UK going through the same shit. Your friend is the best. I wish i could meet you (we prolly just end up scoring and getting high but fuck) Dont ever wanna die cos i got your fuckin ass. You are a fuckin awesome guy.
@chadster123 u took the words out of my mouth. except 4 the 31 yr old in the UK. i didn't know bout him. but everything else.... esp the getting 2gether part, which is y we prob shouldn't lol.
Settle down on spreading that rumour until Mr Garcia provides some proof, okay bud? People do fucked up things online to affiliate themselves with situations that they know nothing about, spread rumours without verifying them, with good intentions to be fair, and mistake people's identities all of the time.
I think it fair to let the owner of the channel confirm whether Joel passed or not before we spread unsubstantiated information.
I saw that. I was very careful to read the text to see if I had missed any info about what you claim, there. Again, link a post to an obituary. Until you do I'll await word from the channel owner of Joel's passing.
hi joel dont think i commented before to you, but its christmas day here in the uk 9am watching this, keep going you will eventually get better. often i just want to be in my coffin and away from here forever so i know how u feel. wish i could help u. just hang in there hopefully u feel better soon.
Hi!You could be clean and abstinent for 6 ys? You must have great perseverance man!!!!May I ask how you are now? Are you using heroin,or was it only a one occasion relapse a month ago?I hope the best for you, it must be an extremely hard road......i keep my fingers crossed for you!
