How do you respond to this
« on: November 10, 2009, 08:34:12 AM »
I had a friend, a total heroin addict friend, that it was somewhat obvious to those who knew him,that hed basically he may of taken too many mushrooms as a kid, or he did indeed have an underlying mental disorder that was adequately suppressed with his daily heroin usage. This would surface when he stopped using heroin, and on these occasions, he was if anything just anxious, not really sure of what reality is, had the Christian objective drilled into him as a kid, and when he was straight, the issue of such a physiological change caused by such a chemical shift,and  perhaps a degree of - upon a time took too many mushies- and or, just a natural response, being a sensitive kid, with these trips regarding, you'll go to hell for eternity if you don't, etc, etc, well of the heroin, these issues would come to the fallfront and become consuming, and left him anxious, and unable to relax. I really liked this dude, be it on the smack, or even not on it.
So that's Franks assessment, an assessment not based on years of medical study, disease, psychiatric illnesses, but just a study from a degree of science - almost, and life experience itself.
Well anyway, on a habit, he hurt himself, and woke up severely withdrawing, and committed a criminal act, by entering a place/a something in the hospital, in an attempt to get narcotics. Personally I have been told by the med;'s that people come in, and within  24 sometimes 36 hours, go through a range of withdrawal symptoms etc, so this story is not uncommon, nor was his getting up, and trying to get some drugs, hed had a car accident, concussed and so fucking what.
Anyway since them I hadn't seen him for years, about 2, and a couple of days ago saw him coming out of a Dr's rooms, and he didn't recognize me, he had the "IM waked out on psych drug look- and he couldn't keep still, be it his legs twiddling, or his hands moving, all this uncontrollable, and I see this, and I hear the Dr say to my friend. Your doing really well, keep it up. And I sat their, and on the inside I wept, a friend, lost and fucked up by our caring medical fucking community.

So Franks is having a bitch, hope that this is okay, if not wipe it please, as I don't want to add to the bullshit of this world.  HE should of been put on legal narcotics, albeit suppressing a so called mental illness, rather than now being addicted to fucking heavy duty psych drugs, that have a long half life, hence build up, are usually neurotoxic and OH well, just another friend, a friends whose brain is now that scrambled, he didn't recognize me, and I stood in front of him and tried to talk to him outside the Dr surgery, and my friend is no longer their, no fucking idea who I was,  I'm sick of it, sick of the drug companies dealing their shit drugs, when good ones, ones that make you feel good, suprress trauma and some mental disorders and could benefit are made illegal, Sick of these lying sack of shit Doctors that give these drugs out like fucking lollies, These drs are sick to be doing this, sick in the sense of having some sort of I NEED TO THINK I AM HELPING OTHERS, Theirs obviously some good ones, that agree with Frank, and I dare say it is these big pharma companies making these shitful neurotoxic drugs, in the first place, and government regulations that make it hard for a Dr to supply perhaps depressed patients with MDA in conjunction with councilling/therapy, Narcotics to those where it would, or could suppress their mental obsessions and issues, rather than be put on neurotoxic drugs with horrendous side effects - chemical labotomy effects and FOR LIFE., They aren't even told of free radicals, and the easy use of vitamin E, to help combat this,
So sorry all to be dumping these views, and I am sure many of you, feel the same, its just when I saw a mate, an old good friend in such a state, it totally rocked me, and Im not going to just do nothing, so Ill be contacting someone, perhaps even speak to his fucking moron Dr. Discuss this with the ethic committee,
This aint the first time shit like this has happened,

Frank

ps, Ill probably delete this, I just needed to say it,. and I daresay, were alll sick of it,

Jon, the dude didn't recognize me, his legs wouldn't stop jangling and uncontrollably moving, either his legs, or if he stood still his arms and hands would start. On gear he came across normal, drove,had a couple of close friends, girlfriend, wasn't like this, I am shattered, and Ive seen this before and this time IVe rambled about it.
I also have to say, our communication over opiates and you schooling me to possibilities of the basic codeine/morphine structure, 3 -OH .6 - OCH3 (HE may have the numbering the wrong way)and various oxidiising reactions to get the 6 pos to a ketone, and further ox to promote a hydroxy at the 14th position, and reacting that with a range of anhydrides, or maybe even alkanoics, to get to very increased bioactivity etc, well explaining half of this to someone not fucked up on legal psych drugs, would go over their heads. I hear what your saying though, and more personal power in the saying of this, and I do appreciate the schooling, the help you gave me to see these possibilities, and I suppose this is what the forum is about, helping others take back power taken from them, albeit to protect one from themselves, MY comments warrant protection from the protectors, and it is insidious, and I also believe, if you take away someones legal habit, be it smoking, going to a ritual meeting about GOdly things, be it alcohol, or some habitual feel good, take that away, get them to open up to a shrink, I guarantee mental illness has risen in away never before seen. Personally Ive got a Dr, who thinks Franks quite balanced and doing well, another one who thinks I have a paranoid personality, another one who sees me as an addict, well he treats me like I am, and many many friends who have been diagnosed with at least 6 - 8 mental conditions.
Anyway, its pointless me rambling on, I just got shattered over it, dumped it here, and will no delete, as what is the point in pointing to some obvious truth, that everyone Id imagine in a forum such as this sort of feels.

yep, but when it gets close, its felt more so, and Ive got to do something, not sure what, and I just went to delete, and can only delete my post, so that would leave you talking about something with no context.

@ Vesp, or Sedit, can you remove, as I was just griping about an issue that hit me hard, but its just stating the obvious, and no-one needs me to be pointing that out.

Thanks  Frank.

Sounds like amitriptyline to me. If that is the case then they are killing your freind very rapidly and a possible call to the hospital should be made right away. It is quite possible that your freind is Bi-Polar in which the effects he is experiancing is an "allergic reaction" to amitriptyline. I know this experiance first hand and it is the most horrible thing in the world, akin to an PCP trip on speed with no fun while having a siezure..

Find out what your freind is taking because he is having a very bad reaction to some form of SSRI and needs to be stoped right away or risk damage and possible further depression that will lead to suicide. I feel for your freind frank..... :-\ :'(

Please attempt to find out what medication he is on please.

good suggestions and will try,The Doctor should see these signs, but he obviously feels that Tardive dyskinesia(id imagine that it is this) and the high risk of it being chronic is the better choice. I feel it is ethically wrong, when a prescribed dose of some type of opiate would sort him out, well it did for a good 10 years, that is untill he got charged, caught up in the system and fucked up on legal fucking drugs. I will try to locate, but his close friend doesn't even know where he is. I have a few ideas, but another Dr, I feel, would be unlikely to interfere with another Drs patient, Ethically unjust. Bullshit anyway, Ill think it through some more, see if I can do something. Perhaps talk to my Dr, who thinks Frank is well balanced and focused....might even look at the ethical angle.

it is strange that he didn't recognize you, but recognizes doctor and how to get to his place. maybe still if you would try to stop him, and communicate, he would recognize you as well?  I think another doctor is better solution (a good doctor). If he already has some extrairamidal desease, or severe mental illness, he still needs a doctor(maybe another one), heroin would not make things better. But obviously, this doctor that he is attending now, is not of choice (i'm afraid he can be using your friend as a test person for new neuroleptics clinical trials, and he doesn't care of his further life)

Wjen I saw him, and him leaving, I followed, and called out his name, he turned around, and didn't recongnize me, I hadn't seen him for 2 years, but had known him for a good 10. I kept on saying its me" FRANK", dont you remember me, and he was twiching uncontrollably and looked completely lost, and didn't appear to have recognition, and this in itself is not just the factor I began this thread with, and anyway I had an appointment with another Dr at the same complex, and had to return. My point about the use of opiates, is from my perception a number of people with perhaps underlying psych issues appear quite stable whilst using smack, and perhaps Im wrong, but feel it would be quite likely this friend and a couple others I have known in my life, instead of being zonked out on antiphycotics, or antidippresents, or these new trialed neuroleptics, or the older ones still in clinical use with horendous siide effects for quite a few of such people, well I believe in such circumstances opiates do indeed mask many phycological disturbances, without the memory issue, brain cells dying due to a build up of drugs that are proven to be neurotoxic, due to their long half lifes and structure/ The correlation with heorin use, was that my friend was fine on the stuff, and when he wasn't due to circumstances described, hed flip out. Anyway, Im making an effort to find him, and have made an appointment with my good Dr, who I will discuss this situation with. I doubt hell intervene, but I will try to get my friend a second opinion. I dont understand why the hospital didn't get drug and alcohol involved, and get him on methadone or something, perhaps buprenorphine, but Ive figured hed have a psych profile, hence be classified under their caring protocols. Ill leave it at that, as it was just me having a gripe over a mate getting his head fried with legal psych drugs, etc etc.

Frank I was just having a conversation via PM with a freind on another site about the use of some simular medications such as xanax and opiates as anti depressents. He noted to me some of the older psych books use to recommend using xanax and whatnot for its antidepresent effects yet because of abuse potential it has been completely written out of the newer books and no mention is even made of this effect.

He seems very knowledgable on this subject and I will request that he join us in this conversation as well since his input would be of great use.

Sedit, my computer has been down for a few days, and its on and off etc etc. so I just saw this, So yes of course hearing others views in this area would of course be of interest, but as stated, I was having a heartfelt gripe about a health system, that appears at times to not actually care about an individual as an individual, and treated as such. As it turned out, via a discussion with a person who works at this Hospital, " IF a person, has a psych issue, a history etc,(File) and not a Drug and Alcohol file,then they'll be treated as such, and Drug and alcohol wont get involved. This person was telling me, about a battle they had over a person with a psych issue, and later a heroin habit, and the drama it was for this person to get on the Methadone program. This was in the last week, and a pharmacy advocate was involved in a meeting to do with going against a protocol I dare say, apparently it was a big deal..Fuck if I understand why. All I know, is that heorin/opiates can suppress, certain psych illnesses, without brain damage associated with many of the neuroleptics, used also to suppress psych illnesses. For me, or a friend, Id go with the heorin, and that doesn't infer getting wasted, it is though problematic due to its shorter half life, hence multiple dosing, 2 or 3 times a day.
Im sure though chemists find a similar effecting drug that has a longer halflife, I dare say methadone is one solution, but then again buprenorphine may be the better choice. I just feel these should be considered rather than the risk associated with many of the psych drugs commonly supplied. End of my bitching.

Frank.

hey frank i think you have a valid bitch--sadly many of the doctors are only prepared to do what their 'peers' agree is ok...in todays world yu dont find a lot of 'adventurous' doctors....

once again the primary concern here is MONEY >:(  there are not a lot of doctors who truly care--they just go through the motions+get paid..

maybe your friend had more severe injuries than you were aware of (brain injury?)

but i agree that opiods can have an emotionally 'levelling' effect and that they are not the EVIL drug they are made out to be--withdrawals can be a bitch..but its dealing with medical

morons thats REALLY does my head in

i REALLY dont get it......the US lets almost anyone have a gun...and not for "self administration" of bullets...but wont let anyone take drugs that help their headspace...faaaaark!!! if you

want to see a fucked up psychiatrist you dont have to go far...turn on the tv,,join the army

ps. buprenorphine is ok for short periods ( <6mnths) tramadol is good in many ways but it makes one a bit speedy(cant sleep)-but it does have seretonin agonist properties which

make it one of the more friendly opioids--IMHO many opioids cause people  to become agressive when their effect starts to wear off--mr nasty syndrome

i like the dipropanol option--apparently it doesnt have the same levels of addictiveness as morph(hmmmm-i wonder)-i will be checking this option out soon--will keep all  informed
"the two things you can give away and never lose, are what you know, and how you feel...."

Jon, I feel your meaning well here, and are speaking from your heart, but help for how long??.A month, two months. I feel I know where your coming from, but I firstly need to find my friend, and see if I can find out what hes on, for all I know, he may even be legaly obliged to be medicated ie with a court order. Ive heard of this happening.He may even have some other neurological type disorder that I aint aware of. It was these reasons, as well as what real value is it me gripeing in a forum such as this, that I initially asked for the thread to be scrapped.
So I need to know what is happening, and in honesty am in a good position, due to contacts within the medical world. This protocol regarding psych patients able to be put on methadone/bup', was lately come under light, this may of created  a precedence that could be persuasive, especially if my found freind were to happen to get another habit. Ive even heard of people gaining an opiate tolerance remarkable quickly, legaly, and just by using OTC codiene.  The habit part is easy, here where I come from be it legal or not, its just getting one on some treatment program, if a habit occurs, that seems problematic. I dont want to hurt matters, and make matters anyworse, so I need to find out where he is at, trust my Good Dr, and utilize the contacts I have within the medical realm.. Getting a habit of anything may be the worst thing for him. Irrespective of me seeing him good whlist using, and fucked up on psych drugs, I doubt this, but I need to be sure of things.
Thanks Jon, all, for your suggestions and support with how Ive felt with this..
