Rapid detox.Fully conscious.Day 5.

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.

I feel like I can say I know what you went through...I recently went off of being on Methadone for 5 years...And one day I stoppped taking them...The hardest three months of my life...But I agree with Tettra...

[balckbettystack]

@Potionlvr It's so worth it though isn't it?

[tettra]

I believe that you gotta pay the piper so to speak, or you'll go back to using eventually.

[balckbettystack]

@tettra I never have.But I understand what you mean.Too many return to the meds.

[movadoband]

@tettra If you don't suffer through withdraws there's no motive to NOT use drugs, rapid withdraw is a mistake.

[balckbettystack]

@movadoband The Rapid Withdrawals when your asleep is a mistake I believe too.

I myself believe you need to feel withdrawals and experience it to give you enough encentive to stay off meds/drugs.
