I was taking up to 96 pills a day for about 12 years. It was codeine. It was a killer to stop, and took months to actually get over. Nearly 2 years clear and I am finally back to the person I used to be. It’s a looooong road but it’s so worth it.

I'm 10+ years clean myself....And just some advice to anyone out there in early stages of recovery. The number one thing you need to remember is 1. Boredom will get you in trouble. You MUST keep busy with new healthy routines. Get a job or something to occupy your free time. I understand in the beginning its really hard to force yourself to do things and go to a job or something because you don't feel good. You wont feel right for some time. But if you lay around waiting for the withdrawals to end....they will only take longer. The more active you are, the faster you will start to feel back to your old self. And 2. Be patient with yourself. And don't compare your recovery to anyone else's. in the beginning it feels like you will never climb out of the hole you dug for yourself in relationships, and legal problems also. But trust me...if you just stay on track...you'll be surprised how quickly it seems that all those problems are in your rear view mirror. In other words you just have to have a blind faith that things are going to get better, and trust in that no matter how much your brain and body is telling you otherwise. I'm praying for anyone out there who is currently struggling with an addiction to any substance..I've been there. I have faith in you! I know you can get through this....Just have faith in yourself.

This Dr is very good but until you actually go through the withdrawals from 10 years use of oxy and heroin it is the ABSOLUTE worst feeling in the world. I'm extremely grateful for being over 5 years clean. I will never EVER go through that experience again. Even though I hit rock bottom and lost everything I've been fortunate enough to start my life over and am grateful every day my life is back on track.

Opiate withdrawal is pure hell. You throw up all the time, which also means you can't hold down food or water, you sweat profusely, you're somehow hot and cold at the same time, your whole body hurts, you get these "waves" that wash over you that are unpleasant but not like any other pain I've ever felt and that's when the goosebumps come up on your skin, you're more depressed than you've ever been, you can't get comfortable and the worst part about all this is you are not sleeping because every few minutes your legs start to kick with no input from you. I thought restless leg syndrome was fake, it's not. All of that at a minimum lasts a week but probably closer to two. Took me three weeks of that before I felt any better and you still don't feel 100 percent.

A lot of truth spoken here. I lost both of my younger brothers at the same time to this (29 and 31 when they passed together). They did not fit the regular "image" of what an "opioid addict" was. They didn't struggle with mental illness, illness, chronic pain, adversity, poverty, anything like that. They didn't get hooked through a prescription. They were just normal people who got into these drugs that's pretty typical for young suburbanites: for fun. It doesn't stay fun for very long. It doesn't stay casual for very long. My middle brother talked to me a lot over the years what the withdrawal is like and why these drugs were so impossible to free themselves from. I always believed they could do it - I always believed they could be freed. They struggled with their addictions for 15 years and the fentanyl finally got them in the end. One bad batch, one night of weakness, both brothers dead.

THANK YOU! You are an angel. This is PRECISELY correct! Addicts need a stable, healthy environment to get well in with compassion and support! You are a wonderful person. It's criminality and bad behavior that should never be enabled, like if people are starting to get violent or steal and that sort of thing or if someone is relying on their addiction to fuel unhealthy co-dependency or to exploit them etc - just giving an addict a safe roof over their head and calm, healthy support and encouragement has never been enabling and it never will be! Toxic narratives to the contrary are killing thousands of people and making the lives of tens of thousands more unbearable. I pray deeply for you and your son's recovery and healing from the trauma of dependence on substances. PLEASE have the courage to tell more people about your experience like you did here, people NEED to hear this! Once again bless you ma'am sorry if I come in with my thoughts too strong here, I don't mean to be odd I am just so very happy to hear this empathy is still around and I am extremely proud of you.

He's right on sober 15 months from heroin started w pain pills in 2010

That is the perfect description of the fear of being so sick. This Dr. is so knowledgeable.

so glad you shed a light on this topic. Living at home with a parent who is addicted to opioids myself and its def not easy, for everyone involved. Yet, you still barely hear about this topic even tho it affects a lot of people in different countries.

What a brilliant teacher. Phd holder myself, id listen tk this doc all day. Keep up the good work

I didn’t realize that it was okay to shame chronic pain patients. The video starts off explaining drug misuse then abruptly ends with your low blow to chronic pain patients. I or anyone else is not being treated by you. You say that chronic pain patients should not use opioids because you know they will abuse them. if you are having a discussion, represent all as fairly as possible. You give one sided advise with no real option for treatment or cure or management.

I have been taken perk 30s (blues. Fent pills) for over a year now. I smoke about 30-50 of them daily. All of my relationships have been ruined with people. I just broke up with my girlfriend. I’m so disconnected from people and they just don’t understand. I’m watching this video now as i prepare to recover. Im locking myself in my room and cutting myself off from the world until I am clean. I know people will read this and say I need professional help and that I should check myself in. I know. I’m going to try this way first. So many responsibilities. It’s so hard to just put them on pause . Wish me luck. I would be crying right now typing this if I wasn’t currently high.

I lost my baby sister. She was 24. However, to my knowledge she was not taking the medications that killed her long term. The one that she took was soma. Bless God, they don't prescribe that anymore. The medical examiner said she was a minutiae over therapeutic dosage. She was feeling particularly bad one night called me crying and decided to take 50% more than her regular dose, possibly a whole dose more (there's something with her husband that's just a gut feeling, that's why I say possibly more) and went to bed and never woke up. The absolute devastation of my whole entire life. The only thing worse would be losing my own child.... Not my parents, not my husband... my baby that I created and carried inside me. On the other hand, I do have chronic, multiple autoimmune conditions that cause me crippling pain every day. So I do know the need for daily pain management. But I will only take tramadol. The one thing I will say is, I wish there was a medication with the power of tramadol (for the record, super mild if taken as directed, no high) that there was no withdrawal from. I say that because it's true, my body is physically dependent at this point so, on that rare day that I don't have pain, I still have to take the med to avoid withdrawal. And he's correct, there isn't anything that could ever feel as bad as withdrawal and my body has been through some thangs, truly. So yes, double edged sword. It's definitely time for further medical science in this area to something that is safe and still actually effective. I hope no one else ever has to experience either one of the things that I have just mentioned . Blessings To Everyone.

You can get off of the drugs but you have to want it !! I look at pictures of when I was on Fentanyl and I looked half asleep and would spill my coffee , fall out of bed and not be able to get things done that I was used to doing ! Bad to even get on those , but when your Dr. Tells you for the rest of your life , that blew me away ! I have degenerative disc disease and I can use my inversion table and lay on the floor and stretch and I fill better but I live in pain and I don’t want anything that’s so addictive !

Love this guy. He is absolutely right with everything he says. I watch his videos everyday. Your amazing DOC.

The panic attacks are the worst! He described heroin withdrawals like a walk in the park. If you ask a H addict what do you prefair? to go through withdrawals? or get shot once on each leg? he will easily pick the 2nd option. THse guys who talk about a subject that they have not the slightest experience are for slaps, and most of the times have 0% success! The best advisor or best type of person who can help you, is someone who has gone throguh that hell, and came out victorious!.

i am at day 8 of quitting cold turkey of a 3 years straight heroin smoking habit (i was smoking 800mg-1000mg a day)..it's absolute hell i never felt so bad before in my life and i've been through some really serious shit..i'm shaking, i feel ice-cold on my body but burnig hot in the face, i've got fever, hallucinations, anyxiety, depression, serious pain in muscles and bones, torturing headaches, can't sleep at all for like 7 days, restless legs i just can't keep them calm because they are so fucking tingly it drives me mad, diarrea, stomach pain, dizzyness and nausea, my nose is runny and my eyes are shedding tears and im yawning all the time and throwing up..allmost all symptoms are active at the same time, and 24/7..i'm sure i have forgotten some symptoms..the list goes on and on..but i think u get the point..it's really bad and i'm completey alone, having nobody who's giving a damn about me..i'm fucked!..i just don't wnat to wake up anymore..but the problem is i can't sleep, so no chance of dying unconsciously.. edit: unfortunately i live in germany and here people are assholes and stupid and have lots of stereotypes running in their micro-minds..they judge and hate me for being addicted..i feel so alone and worthless due to that..

I disagree strongly with his stance on no opiates for chronic pain. Most use them responsibly. Most are very responsible users of their prescribed medications. To deny the vast majority of those with chronic pain (those who need this type of analgesic) something that allows them to have a good quality of life because a small percentage of people may get addicted is unnecessarily cruel. It worries me that he has so little understanding of what it's like to live with chronic pain given that he's a medical professional.

I agree with you completely. When there is no cure or treatment for chronic pain from injuries that do not heal on their own and cannot be surgically repaired, what else are you supposed to do? With proper pain medicine management and responsible patients, the risks for addiction are much lower. The point is not to erase pain, it is to keep pain at a low enough level that allows for the individual to live a life outside of lying in bed.

So for some chronic pain patients, you do have to switch meds sometimes but it's necessary for functioning. The pain never goes away, meds just make it manageable.

Very informative. Thank you 😊

I can remember back in 1998 when I was in a bad car accident. I was prescribed oxytocin 80’s to open scripts of NORCO 10’s. I was smart enough to not take my full doses because I knew I was going to have to withdrawal. I slowly weened myself off, but I did go through withdrawal and it wasn’t fun.

Honesty. I just want to say to any youth or young adults considering morphine or anything like that as a recreational drug to stay away as it goes from getting high to eventually just taking it to feel normal and it stops being enjoyable, it becomes like a medicine that you can't function without. To anyone who's tried heroin or is considering it please don't, please consider how it may affect you for the rest of your life as it's guaranteed opioid abuse will take a piece away from you each time you use

It's been 5 years now almost, that I'm struggling to quit. But can't man up. Fell so weird around people

Start off with the LR tablet. aim for 5-10% taper every week, it takes time, but its better to feel 60% fine for 6 months than 2% fine for 4 weeks. The body must adjust! Take it easy, but firm.

Hi there. I have ADHD, meaning I take a controlled substance daily just like the person you know takes opiates daily, and I take my medication as prescribed. Now granted I have only been taking the ADHD meds for a few months because I went undiagnosed until I was 37, but when I forget to take it (even though I have a day of the week pillbox, it still happens bc that's just ADHD for ya) I feel unwell. When I go to take my meds the next day and I realize I forgot to take all my meds the day before (which includes an anti-depressant and other things), I will feel unwell because those medications cause withdrawal symptoms even if you miss it just one day. That's how opiates work too. Your friend may have withdrawal symptoms *and* not be an addict. It's common with lots of types of drugs. The only way to know for sure is to educate yourself on the signs of addiction in a loved one and talking to them about it if it does indeed look that way. www.na.org/admin/include/spaw2/uploads/pdf/litfiles/us_english/IP/EN3107.pdf

Anyone who's prescribed opiates for longer than a month or 2 will have withdrawal when they run out. It's the actions you take when in withdrawal that determine if the person has disease of addiction. For instance I would of robbed and looked for a fix on the streets if I ran out. If this person is taking their meds as directed and waiting for their script than I wouldn't call that addiction. You can be on meds and not be an addict.

I didn’t know we could use the two words mild and opiate addiction in the same sentence. Can someone be a sometimes opiate addict ?

On weak opiates yes

How 😳 to stop 🛑

by myself..why the last 30yr science never truely research and help ? only maintain it and prolong it by switching from one form of synthetic opiod for?

Does opiod addiction come hand in hand with a sociopath or narcissist?

no. I think sensitive people are more susceptible to opiates because negative feelings in particular are well suppressed

I thought this was zac efron I was so confused

I would love to listen to it, but I miss subtitles in Polish

This is so easy to understand the way you explain things is straight to the point and makes total sense, I was going through about 400 pills a month for about 5 years, every day,I dreaded that fucking withdrawal, today is the start of day 6, wish me luck guys, mind you this was after a 15 year daily speed habit got clean for 5 years then fuct up on the oxys for the past 5 years, so I'm not new to this, and I swore I'd never chase that shit or shoot up again, and I've done that but my wife got really sick (brain tumours and now lung tumours) and I all of a sudden had all these fucking pills, doctors need to ease up all they're doing is making junkies, anyway great show

Wait. Heroin more potent than fent??

Wow! 🙄

I think that Doctor deserves to have his back operated on 3 or 4 times, with ruptured Disc compacted into his nerve canal 30 to 40 cm . And we would see a different person saying that he wished he had something for pain. I would bet all the money I would ever make, That Doctor would change his mine real quick. And if he did not want to take what help Me like opiate did for 26 years, and never getting but the same amount for that time. Then more power to him ,because he would be bound home not ever getting out of bed. I fell sorry for any of his patient! Doctor is not to do no harm, by him not give his patients what they need, well! And anyone who can stop, and not have the same pain or worse, never had pain to start with!

Yes! And look at all these people commenting who have no idea what their little brains are telling them to say. Live in my wheelchair for a day. YOU took away my house, car, RV, career, dog, and put me in a long term care facility when you won your rant and took my meds away. To date, there has been no identified biological substrate to differentiate non-addicted persons from addicted individuals. The notion that drug addiction is a brain disease is catchy but empty: there are virtually no data in humans indicating that addiction is a disease of the brain, in the way that, for instance, Huntington's or Parkinson's are diseases of the brain. With these illnesses, one can look at the brains of affected individuals and make accurate predictions about the disease involved and their symptoms. We are nowhere near being able to distinguish the brains of addicted persons from those of non-addicted individuals. "Viewing addiction as a brain disease promotes social injustice"; Carl L. Hart, Chair, Dept. of Psychology, Professor, Dept. of Psychiatry; www.nature.com/arti... "Addiction" fundamentally eclipses scientific discourses and instead functions as a social concept in the interests of colonization - comprised of forces of State and capitalism. "Addiction: the colonization of rituals"; Matthew Prokopiw (August 27, 2015): ir.lib.uwo.ca/etd/3... Where it comes to matters of the individual freedoms and autonomy of adults (describable by the default condition being presumed to be considered "competent" in the eyes of the State), as is also the important case regarding other issues surrounding individuals' natural rights to control their own bodies and minds ... ... the core issue of relevant debate is not whether personally chosen positions surrounding one's individual existence and those who we may contemplate bringing forth into this world are right/wrong, good/bad, or sacred/profane. The issue is simply who in a free/open society comprised of competent adult individuals has the authority to exercise such decision-making processes - the individuals themselves, or a paternalistic State operating with the socio-political assent/assistance of populaces who for whatever reasons support policies of authoritarian State survelliances, interventions, coercions, and sundry punitive measures designing to destroy individual agency/autonomy. Core issue is one of law.

I read a study in how taking pain meds for more than five days begins to actually increase pain.

Meu Deus abençoe a todos envolvidos no video e familias e todos aqui nos comentarios e familias em nome do Senhor Jesus Cristo🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏7777777..

Thanks for video. Sorry😔

The law must interven and tag the addicts so dealers are apprehended no dealer would want to be imprisoned. ...enough is enough

If you can’t say that heroin is better than a Vicodin or fentanyl, you’ve never done them

So... If I get drunk and decide to go for a drive and get in a wreck, can I blame the car? No....? Then why are we not blaming the PEOPLE taking them. Pills cannot take themselves, addiction is a choice.

It's unfortunate that the public sees this crap when people in pain and have cancer are struggling and can't even get their meds anymore. I'm reporting this video
