Thank you doctor I always enjoy how you educate us. I have another point also that I have insurance clients that are in great pain and many doctors are refusing to give out pain medicines due to the DEA watching what's prescribed where by who it scares the doctors of being fined, their license taken away impossible jail time. So if you can't get your pain meds from a doctor you may just go to the street to get it. Might that be a valid point also?
Withdrawals must be terrible for opioid users, because it isn't fatal whatsoever (unless malnourished or something similar). Alcohol and Benzo withdrawals are life threatening as hell (specifically fast acting GABA A inhibitors, such as alcohol).
I needed it to break through my tolerance on methadone bc they stop you at 120mg. I wasn’t willing to pay for street heroin when we have socialised medicine in Canada. My scripts are free. So I would go to walk in clinics for Duragesics. No computer system back then. Went on Suboxone in 2013 and been clean since. Actually stops my cravings
Another reason is that doctors are so afraid to prescribe meds. I am a 70 year old woman with severe back pain after a failed laminectomy. If someone gave me some fentanyl I might take it. If I die that’s OK . If I don’t, I’ll get relief. Is it because doctors hate the paperwork?
I’m so sorry you’re in terrible pain and your doctor won’t help you. It took my brothers doctor a year and a half to prescribe Norco for sometimes excruciating bulging discs and arthritis. Hes 65 years old! Praying for you 🙏🙏
@@lisasmith7066 Thank you so much for your prayers. It’s very kind of you to write. I hope the medicine your brother is giving is helping him.🌸 God bless you.
Fentanyl is all over the street now. Heroin addicts sometimes have to buy fentanyl. What happens after that, I’m not sure. If it’s stronger maybe they switch over.
Thanks Dr B, you are helping so many of us with solid information 🙏🏾. Two Mexican cartel leaders were arrested near El Paso yesterday. The report said they are responsible for the fentanyl here.
I was offered fentanyl patches in 10th grade, $20 a piece, from another student. But I was happy paying $2 for 10mg morphine sulphate tablets. The only fentanyl abuse I read about at the time, just after the millennium, involved users compromising the 72-hour slow-release patch to access the highly concentrated gel for smoking, often overdosing when the speck of gel they squeezed out was just a little too big. That was really playing with fire, so I stuck with pills until discovering ketamine. I’ve met an ex nurse who had sticky fingers for IV fentanyl vials back then. I believe that the ability to precisely and reliably measure his dose allowed him to survive, maybe the nurse training too, despite the stories of mixing meth in to the shots and driving all over the backcountry lost, paranoid and just trying to get home.
Physical pain and an extremely high tolerance to opiates... It never starts there people get hurt and get on pain killers eventually they stop working so they need something stronger to do the same thing.
I hate to say it, but I tried it a few times when I was using pain pills because I ran out, and someone offered me some on those occasions. I hate to say it, but as long as you don't do too much, it's the best opioid buzz there is. That's why people do it.
I hear you doctor but it seems the issue is going even deeper than this. Though it’s true they don’t have good judgment or control, there appears to be a deeper cultural issue going on. What seems to happen with a lot of these people is they have an addiction component and they also have a component of self destruction. Self destruction or self harm seems to be the crux in most addictions. If they can be stabilized there is hope but some of these users seem to have a death wish and those are the hardest ones to deal with. Just wanted to highlight this. The contamination of the drug supply is a fundamental issue. Also apparently there is a treatment for xylazine withdrawal. Look it up. People have been successfully treated in the worst possible state. This knowledge needs to be out there. Spread this knowledge whoever reads this. There is hope.
Exactly why we should legalize it. Nobody who doesn't do heroin would try just because it's legal now. And of they do the. They are grown and mke their own decisions. Also the people who some say will drive and fall asleep and cause accidents those irresponsible people already are irresponsible anyway. It would be cheaper and cleaner so the user would know what they are using and how much they use. And prevent alot of drug overdoses. It would be readily available so they would not spend so much time just trying to find it. And would have time left over and they could and would use that time to possibly find a hobby or job and that might take their life in a direction where theor new hobby might help them stop but if not then thats their choice and the way it is now they have no hope of ever stopping.. And because it would legal it would be so much cheaper that the users could have money left to buy a house, pay taxes, go to doctors, and at least be a way better contributing member of society instead of just leeching like it is right now. And they would not be in jail which would also save tax payers money. And it would hurt the cartels money and street dealers also. And that money would go to American companies that could also be taxed, thus helping the country more and it would save so much on the "war on drugs" saving more taxes. And most users only use needles because it helps them save money because you get more of the drug because snorting it only absorbs a lower percentage of the drug whereas injections give a higer percentage of the drug passing the blood brain barrier. So if it was cheap and affordable they would literally have no reason to use needles thus solving the whole needles laying around everywhere issues. I know alot of people could use responsibility if it was cheaper and readily available and would only use Percocet if they could afford them but because heroin is cheaper and goes further they use heroin. I'm actually speaking from first hand knowledge.im a responsible drug addict. I ise heroin daily. Multiple times daily. Like 10 times daily. I snort it. I've never used needles. Except for once when i got some ketamine once.. 😅 but that was just because i had some ketamine i managed to obtain. Regardless. I use daily i have a house, a job. I don't drive and use. I don't have kids because i don't want to go down that road because im responsible. I know i might be rare but i think if users had a steady supply of clean product they would have never started using needles and if it was cheap they would have a house and pay bills and be productive. And i think some people would try it just because it's legal but not as many as people think. I think that argument is overblown.

It could be severe emotional and physical pain.. somebody who is completely lost and doesn't care about consequences.. just wants relief 😭
Pretty much nailed it at least for most. Some ppl just have fun and go to far until they can't turn back as easy

They try it to get a nod

You are an Absolutely Compassionate person, that is a Blessing, not to mention, Brilliant Mind as well. Thanks for the teachings.

Why can’t we have doctors like you in the uk 🇬🇧 your amazing 🤩 I’ve learnt so much from you

It’s not about any of that, it’s about tolerance and yes withdrawing
I miss the old days. Heroin was heroin and fentanyl was pharmacutical grade and came in patch and sucker form.
Correct. It’s been put in just abt every substance out there on the street. Including “Weed”.
Pain management"doctors" really hurt this country.

In 2016 they took the clean meds away and no one can get a safe bean to save their lives.
Dr. B is too deep❤
lol. Nah
Suboxone saved my life ❤
