Rapid Detox.Fully conscious.Day 4.

After 4 weeks on Morphine and Dilaudid, it was having no effect. My body had developed a tolerance so it was time to give these horrible pain killers the flick once again!
This time I was still in hospital. Thank goodness as this detox would have literally killed me at home.

I knew what I was about to face. Withdrawls. BUT no where near where I thought it was going to be.
I have NEVER had withdrawls this severe.
It was agonisingly painful.

I did a rapid detox, the detox that they give a general anaesthetic (GA) for, along with medications to reverse the effects of withdrawls and any medications left in the system.
I however did it WITHOUT the GA. All I used was a Ketamine infusion, Clonadine and an occasional Valium.
They use a GA with rapid detox because of the distressing, literally paralizing, distressing, painful effects of withdrawing so quickly.

Dilaudid is around 8.3 times stronger than Morphine.
It is a very strong synthetic opiate and worse to withdraw from than Heroin.
Taking up to 21 days for withdrawls to cease.

It is now day 14 and I am still suffering painful withdrawl symptoms.

Ketamine is a fast acting GA.
It has been found to be a useful in controlling pain in Palliative care patient's in a low dose infusion or injected.
BUT also it has been found to decrease opiate tolerance by 30% to 50% in just 3 hours!
It also means that it causes rapid detox.

Ketamine itself is a nasty drug. It causes halucinations in every form and a feeling of being in different 'zones'.
An example. I 'knew' staff were standing in front of me BUT I felt disassociated totally from them like I was in a different Universe! They were in one 'zone', I was in the other!

I appoligise for the poor video and sound quality as the withdrawls made it extremly hard to breath and talk.

The involuntry convulsions didn't help either.

this video pisses me off to say that you withdrawl bad after only 4 weeks of use or even 3 to 4 months i was a HAEAVY HEAVY user of oxy and H both IV for around four years and that was hell on earth getting of of them even with subutex

@MiBlazed You don't know the full story.

It probably wouldn't have been so bad but for the Ketamine.

I went from up and walking to bedbound with that shit on board.

Look I'm no idiot.

I hold a Cert 4 in Alchohol and Drugs with Distinctions also as well as being a highly qualified nurse.

EVERY BODY is different.But we ALL suffer the SAME in withdrawals.

So calm down Mate!

Wow, only 4 weeks of use? I'm starting my heroin home detox tommorow cold turkey pretty much. I only have immodium ad and some clonidine. How did the clonidine help you btw? I've been using heroin daily for the past 3-4 months. Usually a shot in the morning, noon, and an hour before bed. Wake up and repeat as soon as i get out of bed cook up a shot...not a life to live!

Clonidine takes away the creepy crawly skin & you just generally feel so much better than if you hadn't had it.

In that 4 weeks I was on a LOT of meds 7 Ivé had them before.

@balckbettystack conlidine helps the brain, but does nothing for the icky stomach problems withdrawal causes

[balckbettystack]

@MarillionDeVoid It feels like it does so much more and becomes something you look forward to in withdrawals.

[balckbettystack]

ketamine infusion is used here for a rapid detox.And believe me after the effects I experienced I will NEVER EVER use Ketamine on any of my patient's because it is just the worst shit ever.

As for the Valium,it was half a tablet every 6 hrs if needed to stop my body spasms.

All in hospital.

detoxing using other addictive drugs doesnt sound very good
