Guess who’s back on her bullshit?! It’s me, I am. And by “back on her bullshit”, I mean back on the original dose of pregabalin because my shitty body couldn’t cope with the reduction. #backonmybullshit #pregabalin💊 #palliativecarewarrior https://www.instagram.com/p/CMNL0BrhKE1/?igshid=1elolnjwkc2qb

When I started detoxing from my opioids and benzodiazepines, I didn’t write a post like this. In fact, I didn’t tell anyone to start with. I was too scared of judgment and assholeish behaviour, and in too fragile a state. It was only once I was literal months into the detox process (and able to do anything other than curl up in a ball and sweat out what I’m pretty sure was pure fentanyl) that I started talking about my choice to detox after a decade and a bit of prescribed opioids and benzodiazepines. But once I did, I found a flood of support that saw me through my worst days 💛 and I found a community of people who’d done this very hard thing before me, and who supported and advised me every step of the way (it was not a proud moment texting my friend to ask if shitting green water for 12 hours straight was a normal withdrawal symptom, but her answers helped a lot 😂👍🏻). And even better, so many people got in touch to tell me how much sharing my experiences of detox helped, inspired and encouraged them ❤️ So... I’m still adjusting to my body without those drugs; and my brain! But, because I’m a glutton for punishment, I’ve decided to try reducing and potentially even detoxing completely from the last non-prn drug in my pot; pregabalin. Like opioids and benzodiazepines, studies are now showing massive potential short and long term issues and side effects. And tbh, I feel so much more myself off the other meds, I want to see how much more of myself I’ll find without these. I’m deeply lucky to have such an incredible palliative care consultant who I know has my back; if I tell her I can’t do this, or the pain is too bad for me to function, than we stop, we reassess, and we charge things. And I’m still prescribed all my pain and seizure meds; they’re always there when I need them. But I’m gonna try. If anyone has advice on coming off pregabalin, message me! I know from previous adjustments I can get very anxious, but that was with larger increases/decreases and we’re staying small this time, so I’m hoping to avoid the 3am panic attacks. #pregabalin💊 #detoxing #opioiddetox #benzodetox #igotthis https://www.instagram.com/p/CK1qcqojB5j/?igshid=1tvvn2c62cjdd
