#reinforces addiction and is more likely than failing to stick to a tapering schedule

i wonder why... i still get stimulating effects from it but why does my dexamfetamine make me feel so much calmer? i tried actually taking the full dose im prescribed today and never felt the urge to take buprenorphine, which im tapering off rn. that's unusual at the best of times, i crave opioids every time i have a PTSD flashback or feel ashamed of myself, so countless times a day. combine that with me being in a mild opioid withdrawal and its a very impressive thing to simply forget to take it. i put it in my mouth earlier! i have to pretend to take it when i go into the pharmacy (long story, all you need to know is im coming off my meds without my doctors knowing) and i didnt even hesitate to spit it out or have a moment of debating in my head if breaking my rules a bit even matters, or!! just! doing the sensible thing and taking the third of it a day I'm meant to!!!
#going cold turkey is uh dangerous.#not physically for opioids unless you're very sick and even if it was it wouldnt be in this case#but rather because failing and relapsing after when you're still in withdrawal is more pleasurable than usual#reinforces addiction and is more likely than failing to stick to a tapering schedule#which reinforces you dont have the mental fortitude to quit and lowers the vital sense of agency needed to quit#this is why abstinence only treatment for drug addiction performs worse than no treatment#anyway not gonna rant about that too. im going to make myself take some when i get home like a good girl
