Newbie Drew!

[OCboyinTN]

Hey yall, allow me to introduce myself. I'm Drew. A male age 22 from Tennessee, U.S.A. (Not a Newbie to Opiates). I've been "doing" opiates, almost literally, lol, for almost 10 tears, since around age 13. And I started from the most common way of getting access to them, having a family member that was prescribed pain pills, in this case, it was OxyContin. It was very easy access, they were right there, practically calling my name for a try. And eventually I broke down and "experimented" like everyone else does. Like the saying I once heard, "First I experimented, then I was an addict". Will never forget that one. Started using OC 10s, then 20s, then 40s, then some 80s, Hydros, and then came along Roxicodone 30 mgs, and Opana ER 10s and 40s. And let me tell you, Opana Extended Release tablets will knock you on your ass. LITERALLY. You have the "nods" within minutes!!. The equivelant to almost double the strength of OCs, Opana ER is very powerful (OxyMorphone).

So basically at this point its whatever opiate I can get my hands on. I'm not prescribed to any kind of opiate, only have been prescribed once and it was for some Hydro 10s, nothing special. Everyone with high tolerance knows that Hydros dont do ANYTHING at ALL for you. Which sucks because I remember when i took a few Hydro 10s and was feeling great and would always get the urge to play Grand Theft Auto. Now my tolerance is so high, I'm spending way more money on pain pills then I should. Ive recently tried Methadone, and I have to say, I like it very much, the effects are somewhat like a good opiate high. And Methadone's effects last up to 24-36 hours and was first prescribed for severe pain. But now its prescribed for Heroin/Opiate addicts. I wouldn't mind getting into a dome clinic. *thinks about it* Because seriously people, Opiates are honestly the worst thing you can be addicted too. Just stopping cold turkey could kill you. Which I don't advise that at all, that's why I mentioned Methadone. It would be a better choice, OR! Suboxone! In which I heard has helped many, now Suboxone does not contain any kind of opiate, that I'm aware of, unlike Methadone, which does contain opiates.

So I seen Kevins videos on YouTube and was inspired. So thank you Kevin for having the Opiate addict forums for me and all the others with problems and that are curious about opiates. Thank you so much bro! And to any other forum moderators, thanks for everything! So please IF ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT OPIATES, WHETHER IT BE INFORMATION, OR JUST GIVING INFORMATION TO MYSELF do not be afraid to messege me and ask or tell. Okay, so thank you all again, this is Drew. da OCboyinTN. ~~l8r~~

OCboyTN:

No offense but you seem like a young guy. Stay away from methadone at all costs. It is by far the hardest opiate to get off of. The Withdrawls are the worst. Your skin crawls, you vomit. Get Hot flashes, cramp up all over and this lasts for about a MONTH. Not 3-4 days like Oxy's or Heroin. Also I don't know where you heard Suboxone doesnt contain any "opiates". The main drug in Suboxone is Bupenorphine which is a strong opiate but doesnt "fully" connect to all your receptors so its not that hard to get off of. Just wein yourself off it and the withdrwals will be very mild. Also since you dont seem to know much about the drug, do NOT use any other opiates while using suboxone because it contains a small amount of a drug called Naloxone which "blocks" any other opiate and can possibly put you in withdrawls mixing it with another opiate. Just use the Subs for a few days to get clean. Your young the pysical part will be easy...Go to meetings and find some sober friends to kickit with. Cuz if you dont I know for a fact you'll go back to using. GOOD LUCK!
