Pain Killers: Getting off is hard to do...

Social Distortions Ex Drummer OD’s in Front of Son – WTF?

Ok I am just really bothered by this, and I am sure that if I was high it wouldn’t but since I am not, I am REALLY bothered by this.

Casey Royer, Social D’s ex drummer from back in the day(Royer launched his career in 1979 at age 21), overdosed in front of his son while the two were watching TV. Now I am not clear if he was shooting dope while sitting in front of his son while watching TV or did the dope somewhere else and then came to watch TV, where he then succumbed to the overdose.

So Royer is now in jail with no bail, his son may be taken away from him, and what a great example he just set. If my daughters were taken away from me, the miracles of my life, I would be so heart broken. Not to mention my daughters would be heart broken too to see their dad arrested, taken to jail and then not being returned to me, because of drug addiction.

Hi Son, 12 years old, ran tot he neighbors and called an ambulance and the police. Royer was taken to a nearby hospital where doctors were able to revive him, while cops at the scene found drug paraphernalia, including needles. Soon after being revived Royer was arrested and taken to jail, and faces serious consequences including child endangerment.

All of you still on the pills, trying to survive with children, do them and yourself a favor, and get off. Please?

Painkillers Bring Ohio County To It’s Knees

In Portsmouth Ohio, coal used to be king, now it’s Oxycontin and Oxycodone. The fifth-most-prescribed pain medication in the world, “oxy,” or “OC,” is a favorite of addicts, who crush and snort it or dilute it with water and inject it for a heroin-like rush. The drug and its cousin oxycodone are the cause of a prescription-drug-fueled epidemic that has brought Scioto County to its knees.

The county has seen a 360 percent increase in accidental drug-overdose deaths and has the highest hepatitis C rate in Ohio, a rate that has nearly quadrupled in the past five years, thanks to junkies who are shooting up.

Sixty-four Scioto County babies born in 2009 came into the world with drugs in their system — that’s nearly one in 10 births. And swamped drug treatment centers say they are turning away thousands of locals who need help for prescription-drug addiction.

This story is really sad, but you can read the rest of it HERE.

Perry Moore, Chronicles of Narnia Producer, Dead from Overdose on Oxycontin

Perry Moore, The “Chronicles of Narnia” producer, was found dead in his SoHo apartment on Thursday. It is said he battled chronic back and neck pain and that pain sometimes interfered with his work. “He had a lot of chronic pain. It was always an issue we were dealing with on set,” said Mike Ryan, friend and Greyshack Films President, a producing partner on Perry Moore’s recent indie flick “Lake City.”

Moore’s father said his son had scheduled back surgery for the spring. “I hate to say he inherited it from me, but I’ve had several back surgeries,” Bill Moore, 69, told The News as he boarded a flight to New York City. The devastated father said his son’s initial autopsy was inconclusive, so formal cause of death is pending toxicology results. “I have no clue what happened. The examiner said he was in good condition,” he said. Sources said it appeared Moore died from an accidental overdose of the painkiller OxyContin.

August Busch’s girlfriend caused by overdose on oxycodone

The girlfriend of former Anheuser-Busch CEO August Busch IV died at his home after accidentally overdosing on the painkiller oxycodone, the St. Louis County medical examiner said Wednesday.

Adrienne Martin, 27, of St. Charles, was found dead on the morning of Dec. 19 at Busch’s sprawling estate in suburban St. Louis after spending the night at his home. He has said he woke up around 11 a.m. and tried to awaken Martin, but couldn’t.

Oxycodone is used to relieve moderate to severe pain, according to the National Institutes of Health. It is in a class of medications called opiate (narcotic) analgesics and works by changing the way the brain and nervous system respond to pain. It is commonly known by its brand name, OxyContin.

The Drug Enforcement Administration says abuse of Oxycodone has increased markedly in recent years.

Suboxone Better Than Methadone for Opiate Withdrawal For Some Addicts

Addiction experts say the Manitoba government should pay for a medication that potentially could save lives and help young Manitobans hooked on powerful narcotics such as OxyContin curb their drug abuse.

Dr. Lindy Lee, director of Health Sciences Centre’s addiction unit, said Suboxone is a far better option than methadone to treat opiate addiction in teens and young adults, as it comes with fewer side-effects, it’s easier to wean them off and there’s a lower risk of overdose and accidental death if doses are diverted.

Like methadone, Suboxone is a synthetic opiate that is taken daily to reduce cravings and curb symptoms of withdrawal.

Methadone comes in a liquid form, and addicts start on a very low dose that is closely monitored and increased over several months until cravings subside. Some methadone patients sell doses illegally: a small amount can be lethal to someone who has never taken it before.

By comparison, Suboxone is a pill taken orally, and the average addict reaches his or her optimal dose within two to three weeks.

How Long Does Opiate Withdrawal Last?

How long will the withdrawal from painkillers last? Whether it’s withdrawal from Oxycontin, Vicodin, Percodan, Codiene or any other painkiller or heroin, that’s kind of a loaded question.

The main physical withdrawal effects, such as the pain, sweats, chills, vomiting, diarrhea and nausea usually last only about 5 days to a week. The other part, the longer term withdrawal or PAWS (post acute withdrawal syndrome) can last from several weeks to several years.

This part is sometimes what keeps people going back to the drug. After the initial withdrawal or detox, then you have residual detox and the brain trying to function normally, but it just can’t. At least not yet, and it can take months or years for a persons brain chemistry to get back to normal.

It is this period of time that can be the most difficultfor many to STAY OFF of the drugs, because it is here where the nagging and gnawing little voices start talking. I am not talking hallucinations, but I am talking depression and anxiety and the want to just be happy again.

What happens when a person is addicted to pain killers is their brain stops making endorphins, the bodys natural pain killers and the thing that keeps us from getting depressed. When a person starts taking pain meds for an extended length of time, their brain stops making endorphins because opiates look just like endorphins to the brain and the brain stops making them.

After so long the brain stops making them and the pain killer is now depended upon for endorphins or the imitation endorphins. Clinically the opiate dependance is spelled out like this:

“Opiate addiction is recognized as a central nervous system disorder caused by continuous opiate use. Extended opiate abuse leads to the nerve cells in the brain to stop functioning as they normally would and stop producing natural endorphins. Because the body is receiving opiates and is no longer producing endorphins, the nerve cells start to degenerate and cause an opiate addiction.”

So what happens is the brain doesn’t make endorphins anymore, the person who was addicted may be depressed and have anxiety for a period of time after getting off the painkillers and after the physical withdrawal is over.

It is during this period of time the person occupy themselves with something constructive. The person will most likely not want to do anything much, but once they start they start to feel better. It forces the brain to start making it’s own endorphins. Physical exercise can help to jump start the endorphin making process.

It is also of great importance for the person to get SUPPORT in the form of either a 12 step program(Highly Recommended), or through some form of group counseling. There is power in numbers and being a part of a group really helps immensely.

Many people feel they don’t belong in a group with other drug addicts, but the fact is, they do, they were once addicted or are currently addicted to drugs. They may feel they are not like the other people., but they are, in that they were addicted.

I also want to make one thing VERY clear, Just because you or someone you love is addicted to painkillers, doesn’t mean they have a moral problem. Opiate addiction is NOT a moral issue, it’s a medical one, and one not to be trifled with. Give them a break and support them emotionally, and get them the help they need.

How To Get Suboxone To Help The Withdrawal From Pain Killers

How to get Suboxone to help with the withdrawal from Pain Killers.

How to get Suboxone

I have a lot of people coming by reading my blog and asking how to get suboxone. Honestly it’s not that easy, but here is how to make it easier. You can’t just go to any doctor for suboxone, because not every doctor can prescribe it for painkiller withdrawal. Only doctors with a certain certification can prescribe suboxone, and of those, they can only treat 30 patients at a time.

So just going to a doctor for suboxone will not only get you nothing most times, it will alert your doctor to the fact that you have  problem. So if you want to get suboxone for painkiller withdrawal treatment, you need a suboxone doctor. To find a suboxone doctor, or a doctor who can prescribe suboxone for treatment of opiate dependence,  is actually very easy, if you have the resources.

How to get Suboxone – The Easy Way

You can do what I did, and spend a few days or weeks searching and hunting for one in your area, if there is one, it can be hit and miss. Or you can use the resources I have put together in my report, that is only $14.97. Not only will it save you hours/days/weeks of research and frustration but it will save you hundreds of dollars on your prescriptions.

In my report I give you a list of resources for several free drug cards. What these cards do is give discounts on medications if you don’t have insurance. This is how to get Suboxone with sometimes up to 75% off the regular price, it all depends on the pharmacy you go to and the card. There’s no application to fill out, not questions to answer, you just go to these sites I list, print the card out and go to your pharmacy. However to save the MOST money I give you several things to do before going to the pharmacy, so you get the most for your money time after time.

How to get Suboxone – Ask The Right Questions

So here’s how to get suboxone, easily: Buy my report, it’s only $14.97, go to the resources listed to find the nearest suboxone doctor. Call the doctors office and ask specific questions outlined in my report. These questions are there to ask the doctors office, to help save you money and make sure there are no hidden fee’s. Once you feel you have found the doctor to help you, then make an appointment.

You go to your appointment, either that day or the following day, it’s usually very quick to get you in. When you call a doctor who can prescribe suboxone they usually know it’s for someone trying to get off of painkillers, and they are there to help you, really. It really is that simple and easy, especially if you have the resources to help you along the way, outlined for you. That is what my report is, a road map to help you get in the suboxone treatment program and on your way to a better life. Really.

One more thing I would like to add. Once you get on suboxone and off the painkillers, which is the first day you start(it’s that fast), you will be on suboxone for a little bit of time. Long enough to help you stabilize and get your bearings and some counseling in drug addiction. It’s all outlined in my report, all of this stuff. After you have stabilized you will be taken off the suboxone slowly. This is so you don’t crash and burn. Also don’t stay on Suboxone any longer than you need to be. It’s there to help you get off the painkillers, not for recreation.

Good luck with your journey,

Sincerely,
Larry C.

How to get off of Painkillers

I just want to thank everyone who has been emailing me and contacting me and giving me good feedback. I also want to thank all of you who have gotten the report and emailed me after you have gotten off off the pain killers, and also given me more good feedback. But I want to tell all of you who have done it, thank YOU for doing it. I means a LOT to me that it’s working so well. I really mean that.

I really was so happy the day I got off of painkillers, so happy I cried. It had been wrecking my life so much and it was a stupid little pill that was controlling my life, and making me miserable. When I had a few months clean it struck me to help others with a report on how to do it and how to make it simple and easy. I had talked to my friends who had kicked without anything or any help at all. They expressed to me how they wished they had something that made it so easy, like it did for me.

It really was that easy to get off of painkillers with the help of buprenorphine. One day I was hooked on vicodin, the next day I was off of them and had a 180 degree shift in attitude and demeanor. It was incredible, easy and it can work for you too.

My report is only $9.97, it will save you Hundreds and hours of time and frustration. what are you waiting for? I mean it seems like a no brainer.

Scamming Painkillers, It’s a shame.

I was looking at my counter stats the other day and saw a search someone had done: “Scam painkillers”, meaning they wanted to know how to scam doctors for pain killers. I personally haven’t done that but I have at least at one time felt like doing it. In order to feed my habit. Being addicted to painkillers sucks. I know, I’ve been there and wrecked that.

That’s why when I got of finally I wrote the report I sell on this site. I was able to get off and stay off thanks to Suboxone and the help I received from others doing the same thing. If you are addicted to painkillers I would suggest you get my report to help save you hundreds of dollars in expenses and hours of frustration on the net trying to find the easiet way to get off of painkillers. I’ve already done it and I document everything you need to know right there.

Anyway I am off to go eat breakfast and get to work. yes I know it’s a holiday but I love to work. I write for a living now and this is what I do.

have a great, safe and drug free holiday folks.
