hey have a quick question to all the users...recovering addicts...etc...when you guys were in active addiction...when you used sometimes did you nod off so bad that you ended up falling off the toilet...bed etc? or is that what happens when you use bad dope? did your rbeathing slow down so that you were taking a breath every like 5 secs?
thanks guys
alright becks,when i was using a lot to fall off the bed or any horizontal surface,i considered the smack good,once i feel off the toilet cutting my head slightly&getting covered in shaving foam,...when i awoke from the nod i looked in the mirror aghast!!!,coz i looked like an extra from the Texas chainsaw massacre.i would worry about the v.shallow breathing though...all the best ..davey
thats what he says...that it has happenned before and its not a big deal...but for soemone to find him like that prob looks really bad...he said he snorted some then shot some and forgot about teh snorting before hand...so i guess he just did too much for not using for awhile ya know?
becky your right ,it is not a very pleasant sight&of course is worrying,but its just part of life on smack,but yer mate should know to be just a little bit careful if he aint used for a while.not to bother u ,but ive known mates who have come out of prison&banged up stronger gear than they might of had[on/off]in prison& gone over ,its just part and parcel of i.v smack use.....all the best ..davey
yea ive def heard of that too...he actually switched from shooting to snorting so i thought that was odd but his veins are screwed....he hadn't used for like 2 wks when all that happenned....not that its a good thing but atleast now he is telling soemone if and when he has to use so we know whats up...he is trying to stop like gradually stopping liek doing a bag or two every other day...but its hard for him as well as everyone else struggling ya know? blahhh
I nodded out nearly everytime I used "that was kind of the whole purpose". I've never feel off the tolite "but, seen it happen a lot". I usually nodded on the couch or on a chair. My bed was a matresss on the floor, kinda hard to fall out of. I've had to call a ambulance several times on my brother who use to live with me. Once he was pale semi purpple and very shallow breathing. He died on the way to the hospital. They brought him back. He was put on a ventalator to breath for him for 3 days. He started methadone in the hospital and was there for 5 days total. Another time he was not on H but, soma, oxycottin, valuim he feel out in the drive way and was not breathing. He got the tube shoved down his neck again spent 2 days in the hospital he had a sizure and released his bowel and bladder in the ambulance. Another time on H at my grandmothers he feel out by the kitchen table. He was rattle breathing and not regular. My mom and I both put wet towels on him shook him screamed at him. NO responce at all. 911 call again he did not wake up till HOURS later in the hospital. Don't ever let someone get over a overdose on there own. It can go from shallow to NO BREATHING in seconds. After 2 mins with no breathing there is little hope of a recovery at all. My brother would tell me dont call the hospital if i fall out I hate that breathing tube in my neck i'll be OKAY. I told him if you can't wake me up you better call 4 me or i'll haunt you if i die. I never had a o.d my self that led me to the hospital there were times I got sick thou. I have two cousions who died BECAUSE no one there called for help untill after it was to late. Oh, and be sure if you have to call CHECK pockets and remove anything. You can not be charged with anything for a o.d but, you can be arrested and charged with anything on your body at the hospital.
hey thanks for the heads up...your brother still on methadone?
my guy was thinking about starting methadone...any thoughts on it?

My brother stoped using the methadone the 1st time he was put on it, went back to H. In may 05 when I started the methadone clinic he went with me, he only tested clean once, was detoxed out of the clinic after 4 + test. He now gets methadone from a "pain clinc" not the methadone clinic he had testical cancer surgery he gets meds 4 that. He abuses all his meds. For me the clinic worked I detoxed out well stoped going at 25mg. I got very ill and could not sleep for about 3 weeks. The detox was hell. I CRAVED after stoping. It would have been better if i had went down to 5 or 10 before stoping. Only once in 13 months did I take methadone only to get high that was about 3 months after i'ld been off. I threw up all night. I have not used H sience May 11 05 entered the clinic May 12 05 stoped December 20th 05. I needed it a lot longer. The clinic was 2 states away often had a hour wait to dose just became a huge hassle with gas prices "i had no car" I had to pay the 12.00 a day dose plus gas and time for whom ever i got a ride from. In the end i'm glad it was there but, had i been able to stop on my own it would have been SO MUCH better. Often people wind up on methadone several years. If there is no other option i'ld go with the methadone it's not a quick fix answer thou, the problems still there it's legal that way.
