By far the fear, I can deal with the shakes, aches, sweats, vomit and diarrhea but the fear is death just waving you on. Last time the dog kept barking at me telling me I was dying, knocks at the door with no one there, hearing parents yell at me when they're dead.

>> No.10114964

>>10114861
Well that must not have been one of our jails, where was it? Our staff are required to give Librium for EtOH withdrawal and there’s an incentive for us to give it because medicating someone going through withdrawal minimizes the chances that they will attempt suicide, have a seizure (and get sent out to the ER), or assault staff/other inmates due to agitation or hallucinations. As far as I am aware, “saving money by not giving medication” is not a performance measure in any of our contracts. If you’re not conscious during the intake process or attack custody staff in the booking area that may complicate things, though.

Damn that is rough, we give our heroin addicts Tylenol (paracetamol) with 30mg of codeine until we can get them on methadone or suboxone, which is typically within 72 hrs. They’ll immediately be given suboxone or methadone if there’s a provider with prescriptive authority on site. Most jails and prisons in the US provide a thin sheet or blanket, and while many have cameras in the cells they are typically angled in such a way that you can’t be seen using the toilet, unless the facility has an all-male staff and population (or vice versa), then you don’t get any privacy. The Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2012 does not permit the observation of inmates exercising bodily functions by staff of the opposite gender, unless it’s incidental during routine cell checks or an emergency situation.

It's like that for the first few years if you're drunk pretty much all the time. The problem is that it damages your brain each time by way of something called neurological kindling. Suddenly you're shaking, hallucinating, throwing up, sweating, have horrendous insomnia and have anxiety like you'd never believed possible. Then the real fun begins, like psychosis, delirium tremens, seizures and not being alive any more. Enjoy.

Just went through WD's on purpose because I'm sick of the shit cycle I've been living. Cold turkey. Everyone is different, but for me it was 3-4 days of suffering. Nausea, hot-cold sweats (hot sweats with that alcohol smell), equilibrium thrown off, little appetite, and general lethargy.

But I was determined. My strategy was as follows: hydrate like a motherfucker. Green tea with peppermint and ginger to help combat nausea. Basic OTC fever reducer when the hot-cold sweats get to be too much, and an anti nausea pill when the urge to puke gets too overwhelming. Forcing down bland foods--chicken soup, avocado, crackers. Bought two bottles of Pedialyte as well. Multi vitamin daily, along with B-complex and milk thistle.

All this combined with long steam showers and rest, just as if you had the flu. For me the nights were the hardest, as I used to get hammered to combat my insomnia. Went to bed stone cold sober every night. It sucked. But eventually I made it through. Haven't had or craved a drink since. In fact, I'm glad I'm not into poisoning myself like that anymore. Done. Good luck anons.

Ativan comes in 0.5, 1mg and 2mg. So if you took a 5mg pill it either wasn’t an Ativan, you’re mistaken about the dosage, or you took several tablets at once. 5mg is a very high dose, like time travel tier. It sounds like you had an allergic reaction to it honestly, I would not take it again and I would tell your doctor so he can give you something else for WDs.

Then that may have been a benzo overdose due to buildup of the drugs in your system. Benzos are stored in fat cells like weed and can accumulate over time if you’re taking high dosages regularly. Or it may have been some strange drug interaction or medication issue with that particular batch of pills or some other sort of external factor. That’s a lot of benzos to take on a regular basis I would try to start tapering soon if you haven’t already

Yeah, the whole tapering and withdrawal shit you hear on here is complete bullshit. I guarantee you that 99% of people on here aren't bad off enough that they would be in serious trouble of withdrawals if they quit, it's just the dumb lie they tell themselves so they can keep drinking.

Then I'm sure that they're even lying about their successful tapers, and everyone is constantly falling off the wagon and getting back on the sauce hard anyway, so no idea what they think they're solving.

That's a problem with addiction: the massive amount of bullshit that goes with it. Forget the lies they tell everyone else (and how much fun it is to be in rehab and hear that shit all day), but the lies they tell themselves are pretty astounding too.

THANKFULLY everything worked itself out. But I'm never fucking up like that again. Fuck that shit. I'd rather be sober for life than end up in a hospital bed with a distended abdomen...all because I couldn't control my impulses.

However, during the operation, he died of complications apparently caused either by a medication or a malfunctioning respirator. Two of Carrillo's bodyguards were in the operating room during the procedure. On November 7, 1997, the two physicians who performed the surgery on Fuentes were found dead, encased in concrete inside steel drums, with their bodies showing signs of torture.

Did you not do any cardio work at all?
or had a shit diet?
I used to walk for 1-2 miles a day minimum and that helped me keep my blood pressure stable.
Now I am always on my ass at my 24/7 job and my blood pressure is increasing by the day.

I remember once at this flop house I would hang out at we had some hypertension crisis
>at the meth house
>everyone is on a poly-drug bender , mostly meth
>56 year old dude has been up for maybe 12-13 days with maybe only a long blink of sleep

Well I knew the old guy had some blood pressure issues and we have had this happen before but not this bad.
>man gripped his chest hard and started giving the most fearful look in his eyes.
>ohshitheartattack?

His son raced to him and got him to finally sit still and stop his diet of meth and cigarettes to sit on his bed and drink ice water.

>I asked if they had a blood pressure thing
>Kinda know how to use one
>After 5-10 minutes of his son tweaking under his bed he finds one. (I guess this has been a problem before)
>Notice the man wasn't taking his Warfarin like he was supposed to

Long story short the guy was like 215/105 or some shit.
I urged them to get him to the doctor over stroke or heart attack risks. (his heart rate was inconsistent and 170-180.)
But he pulled through and was smoking dope with us 4-8 hours later.
But man he is too old to be running his heart like that, especially with a history of hypertension and very high blood pressure.

The alcohol probably has something to do with the mood swings. I always had a bad temper. Like I am liable to yell and slam/kick things when I am pissed. I also have a tendency to catastrophize and panic. The current break from alcohol I am on is the longest I have taken in years and I already feel much more collected. I'm sure that when I inevitably snap and go on a bender I'll be sketching out about something. Like getting thrush again on my dick.

desu I'm not in that bad of shape. I have some extra fat for sure but I normally work out a few times a week and I don't look particularly fat. I think I have white coat syndrome. Te moment I see the cuff my blood pressure goes nuts. My resting heart rate is usually anywhere from 60-80 bmp which is pretty healthy for the most part. Even during WD it wasn't too high.

I used to work in the ER. Not that it's a competition but I've seen 70 year old non compliant hypertensive men with 280/140 before and they weren't stroking out. It's a total roll of the dice.

Well 60-80 is pretty good for resting heart-rate being an alck.
The only reason I was worried about that guy was his heart rate was jumping like mad and I could see his heart beating out his chest.
I may have also taken his blood pressure incorrectly since I am untrained and it may have been higher. But 280/140 is absurd but I believe it.

I just checked my heart rate and it is between 90-105 and that is semi-resting as I am fidgeting in my chair and just got done washing dishes 5 minutes ago but I don't have a stop watch so there is room for error.

Working in an ER sounds rough though. I don't know If I would want to do that.

it usually takes a number of years of binging a few days or drinking daily for it to catch up and end up with withdrawals if you stop.

for me it didnt hit til age 35. i did many benders and many days of drinking light amounts for years on end.

There's not much lulz in alcoholism, believe it or not. Alcoholics, in general are shitty fucked up people, and they become alcoholics mainly because they're shitty fucked up people, and then they become even more shitty and fucked up because of their alcoholism. This is what separates us from the majority of mankind who like to drink and have a good time occasionally. The alky is the guy in high school who got so wasted at a party that he fell in a pond and almost drowned, and the emts had to show up and everybody's parents found out about the party.

I did this and stuck with beer, however, I only drank beer on the weekends (Friday, Saturday, Sunday), and if a holiday landed on a Monday I drank on that day too. I can't really explain how I got off of it but my father passing away last year kind of killed my desire to keep killing my body. He drank a lot but as he got older he would take fentanyl patches and it got so bad he was chewing them to get way more high and on top of that he was drinking beer. I drank all the way up until new years last year and I decided to quit. I can tell you the first weekend without beer sucked and I felt shitty, depressed and really wanted a cold beer but the only advice I can give you is to talk to a doctor about how you're feeling. At the moment I'm currently on lexapro and I'm a lot less depressed but the depression is still there sometimes. I really don't crave a beer anymore since marijuana is legal here. I prefer feeling high over being drunk and if you're afraid of getting paranoid then find a high CBD strain or some caregivers sell tintures so you can dose out how much you're taking which is what I'm doing now. Good luck anon

chipped by cheekbone, don't wish to ever do that again, can't imagine the jaw. at least with jaw it's significant enough that it requires medical attention, mine when "unnoticed" for a month and by then it was already growing back so i couldn't even get pain meds.

Hangovers I'd describe as a general feeling of illness and pain. You can stay in bed, load up on asprin, close your eyes and wait for it to fuck off. Withdrawals aren't painful or ill-feeling in the same way, it's all about the fear. All of your worst fears feel real and imminent. Your mother is about to die, you're about to be imprisoned, there's a goliath birdeater spider under your duvet, your gf is sucking your most hated enemy's dick, and so on. Whatever you personally find most terrifying seems real. You're more likely to run screaming off the nearest cliff than want to lay down in the dark.

Yeah it's ridiculously painful. I get migraines, I've had carbon monoxide poisoning and I once stubbed my toe so hard that it literally snapped my little toe in half, but having some boxer cunt's elbow hit me in the jaw so hard that I hit the floor, that really sucked.

now that you mention the toe thing. as pussy as it sounds, breaking my 5th metatarsal (pinkie toe bone, but in the foot) was probably more painful than my cheek. could also be because i was a few years older when i did that and i'm not a big eater anyways. that was also a stubbing the toe incident lol
but i always got a concussion when i broke my cheek bone, so maybe i don't remember the pain during the first day as well as i could have.

Done this. You will absolutely despise yourself when the money runs out. Stop now but you probably won't, it'll be 'one more night of drinking' then you'll wake up and be like 'one more day of takeaway' an endless cycle.

Hi guys it's me again, the guy that had sex with an escort last weekend. So I got a penis rash, which I have had before, and chalked it up to a fungal infection. No biggie, just keep the area dry and apply antibacterial cream for a couple weeks, right? Well this morning I went to take a piss but I noticed some white discharge come out of my urethra. It was white and odorless. That tells me it could be Chlamydia or Gonorrhea. I am scared shitless right now. I heard there was an antibiotic resistant strain of gonorrhea going around and I got a BBBJ from the girl. I am going to try to get off work early today and go to the sex clinic. I hope they give me antibiotics right away without waiting for test results. I read if you have it long enough, gonorrhea can damage your reproductive organs and make you infertile. Fuck fuck fuck fuuuuck!!!

So much for not drinking. I am fucked. I am so fucked...
