Just got fired for my BP.

Everytime I have gone IP for my BP junk there is always half the people doing a detox. Please go IP. I understand you don't want to... But detoxing off ALL that stuff on your own??? Your taking a gigantic risk that you wont go into seizures or cardiac arrest.

Your bed at home is going to be just as hard as your IP bed will be .. At least if your IP and you go into seizures or worse there will be someone there to provide medical care right then and there.

Be safe

Thanks for your replies. I'm thinking of leaving him another msg admitting the suboxone. I still want rapid detox though. But I'm starting to sweat and feel very uncomfortable. This is just the beginning. I might give in. I might.

Detoxing at home from all psych meds at the moment because of self admitted abuse. Doctors orders and then new cocktail. Just being honest.

I don't get msgs unless the other person using tapatalk app!

I really think you should tell your pdoc and consider very strongly IP. If they say that can't do a rapid detox then just stick to the supportive program and get out of there. Sometimes with healthcare what we want isn't what is best for us.

Going off just trileptal so fast raises your seizure risk. With the suboxone added to that you could be in real trouble really quick and not able to get help. In the hospital help is right there if something goes wrong.

I have seen some patients of mine who were forced to detox in the nursing home without meds to help. One lady was trying very hard to trade sexual favors with my assistant to go buy some drugs on the street. They've all been so sick. I remember them specifically because detox was so hard for them. You really don't want to go there. It's indescribable how hard it was. But with the hospital able to balance things over and over it goes better.

Sorry for typos or not making sense. My cat is having a pancreatitis attack and I'm waiting for him to come out of hiding so I medicate him. So much for early meds and sleeping through the night tonight. Oh well

Hi Queen, just reading back trying to catch up. So mainly he wants you off vyvanse and stimulants. They're likely causing mood cycling. I mentioned to you before I went off adderall about a year ago, doctors orders. I cried & was scared, I said what about tapering. She said there is no tapering with stimulants. So that would measure up with what your doc is doing. I was very tired and it took about a week where I stayed in bed. Once off it, I found my attention and focus had improved during my time on it. I'd somewhat retrained my brain. But it felt like a loss and I grieved it. I felt like she was taking away my only means to keep a job or even get up I'm the morning. But it's really for the best. You're going to feel so much better on other meds.
Hope you can talk to a lawyer. Does the job think you're using illicit or street drugs? Would they have a way to prove that? To me it sounds like you were fired without cause or proper counseling. If you had a contract with them, read that. How long were you there? Did they require you to state upfront anything about your mental health or prescription drugs?
I'm not sure about unemployment vs temp disability, you may be eligible for either. Is there any way to not for lose the house?

She got fired because she was still on a probationary period and missing work, having conflicts with coworkers and acting erratic around patients iirc... read through her post history over the past couple of weeks and you'll see the pattern.

she should still be a candidate for at least short term disability hopefully. i'm here to try to be a support or friend to her - i'm not going to detective through her recent posts. she's a grown woman, she can tell me what she wants to.
peace.

You must be sick as a dog right now. I've dealt with suboxone and opiate withdrawal, which is brutal but manageable. However, I had a good doctor that helped me taper. And I was very motivated to stop.
I never got into uppers, I get horrifically depressed with the crash. I don't know how you would be able to detox at home, in addition to your BP diagnosis your are withdrawing from several different meds at the same time, which could trigger and episode.
You would be safe in the hospital.
Withdrawal is awful. You will feel the after affects from the suboxone for a while but it is doable.
I understand not wanting to go inpatient but you have too many medical and psychological issues to do it yourself. It's unsafe. I just don't want you to suffer more than you need to.
At this point, put the job stuff out of your mind because you need to concentrate on you. You can do this!

And major congrats to you for thinking about coming clean on the suboxone.

Well I've been sleeping for about two days now. They gave me my psych meds back but I'm dealing with depression from all of this. And to the person who said I was missing work, I missed a half a day for being honestly sick. I was there every single day, punched in before time even.

At this point I think I'm going to apply for SSD as many pdocs have told me to. I get panic attacks at every job and I honestly think a bit of PTSD from getting fired. It's such a cycle I'm on and it terrifies me.

But right now the 150mg of wellbutrin is not cutting it. Between the damage from the stimulants and losing another job, I'm a mess. But I got to the pdocs on wed. Hopefully he will give me a higher dose or something.

I found after getting proper diagnosis and treatment for being bipolar that I wasn't abusing my prescribed meds because I am an addict ( still consider myself sober 15 years) but because I was so desperately trying to feel normal There's a huge difference! Therefore it was very easy to quit now that I'm fairly stable. I hope this is the case with you! I also drank way too much caffeine and the withdrawals from that alone was terrible! Now one cup in morning. I don't care what docs say about cold turkey on meds. Addicts bodies are different. It could be a simple med that you would never suspect and maybe only took it for a a week but your body decides to go haywire when u stop. Lots of love to you. Pay attention to your body and be safe!

No matter how small, a positive change deserves to be celebrated!

Thank you all for the pos vibes. I've been cycling pretty bad. Probably from the lack of substances and my body isn't used to it. A med change might be happening on Wednesday when I go for my appt. I think my trileptal might be giving up on me.

I hope your cycle calms.

How are you feeling now? xo

Well we're struggling financially. I finally admitted to my dad I was going for SSD and surprisingly he said he'll support me so I don't lose my house. Not cycling anymore. A little hypo here and there but I'm ok pretty much. Thanks for checking in on me!
