Mirtazapine was horrific for me. Genuinely felt like I was losing my grip on reality. Hallucinating, rage outburts, paranoia etc. Awful.

This thread has got me thinking a lot about Peaches as well and just how horrifically sad and tragic the whole thing is. I really hope her sisters are ok. I used to actively dislike Peaches but now I feel embarrassed about that.
I think tramadol has a 36hr half life too. And has a boost lke SSRIs. It’s a nightmare to get off. Much nastier than codeine. Was originally described as non addictive and a good codeine substitute.Methadone has a half life of 36 hours. It is one of the worst drugs to detox from. Toxicity wise it is a lot worse for you than medical grade heroin (can’t spell the word) so a lot of seasoned users that have been in the system for years will not go on it. Socially it is very good, the more users stabilised on methadone, the less crime, less exploitation, better relationships with families and children - the list goes on. In detox units you’ll see heroin users get clean a lot quicker and less painful than a methadone user. But nothing ever compares to a Valium detox, I’ve done two of them, if I ever relapse on Valium again I’ll stay on it. It’s absolutely awful.
Methadone isn’t just used for addiction, it’s also prescribed as a pain medication with people with cancers etc would you believe?! I think it’s because of how long it lasts in the system!

Why didnt it say T R A M A D O L? This site sometimes puts its own words in when you write something different. Strange.
? I don’t understand. The original post autocorrected it to transformers and I edited.
oh. Is that why? I thought my autocorrect was going bonkers. This site is a massive pita for auto correct. Didn’t realise it was intentional.
It's been interesting reading about Peaches but this thread is now a massively triggering
going to hide it if possible and try and get a GP appointment (probably impossible - thanks Covid)

I wouldn’t say I was ever fully addicted but when I was cleaning out my grandma’s house after she died I came across an impressive stash of cocodamol, codeine and tramadol. It coincided with me having a really bad bout of toothache and coupled with the trauma of losing her plus a break up, I started taking them most nights to get the buzz and get off to sleep but it then graduated into being taking them during the day and for most of the day too. I would just stick to cocodamol/coedine in the week and have tramadol on the weekend when I didn’t have to get up or drive. I liked the way it just makes you feel numb and in your own little bubble almost. The stash ran out and I was buying cocodamol from the chemist for a bit and getting tramadol from someone I know with chronic back pain but I did manage to cut it out and haven’t touched any of them since. I have never felt so sick in my life as when I stopped taking them. I am no stranger to a lot of drugs and there is substance abuse in my family so I realised I needed to be careful. Alcohol is the main issue in my family tbh, have lost two uncles to it.
What do you mean by that? It doesn't say anywhere that Peaches was happy for a friend to "feed" a story to the tabloids about diet pills when the truth was a lot worse, does it? It says in that quote that she took diet pills to get energy to her up with the kids the day after using heroin. Or are you quoting something else?
Exactly the same! I'll try to take mine as late as possible then! Thanks @Clairer86!x
Genuinely feels like only 2 or 3 years ago she died, it is nearly 7.
A few of my friends use it for headaches/migranes/anxiety and stress and say its great
I had eating issues in the past and am very focused on no food being bad, everything in moderation with my child. I never mention weight and don’t obsess over what they eat. However I know an incredibly thin woman, though only in passing so I can’t assume she has ED issues, her children are obese. Also know a few obese women who are neurotic about their children’s diets, they are very thin, whilst seemingly not being able to help themselves.
As you say, there must be a psychological aspect to it all.
agree but I used to believe the press portrayal of her (spoilt, little rich girl) whereas know I just think her upbringing and life was terribly sad.
She was so thin, I did wonder how she coped with the 2 boys so close together, and how she wasn't exhausted. I'm surprised her body didn't give up earlier if she was taking the drugs she did.
Could the people discussing drug addictions maybe start a separate topic?

I wonder about Peahes having two c-sections. If she didn't go private there must have been a medical reason for the first one. Unless the rules have changed and you can choose to have one on the nhs. It points to an issue, lots of speculation they were born with addiction.
I agree l think the drug talk would be better on a separate thread.

I dont see why? Its completely relevant and we should be able to discuss MH problems anywhere they might be helpful imo.
If people are triggered, perhaps any further drugs discussions could go behind a spoiler? X
I was addicted to cocaine for a number of years (amongst other things). Hearing about other people’s experiences with addictions doesn’t bother me at all but I can appreciate it may be upsetting for some. Very relevant to the Peaches discussion though so would feel strange to take it elsewhere.
