• Ukufana phakathi kobhadane lwe-opioid ne-benzo
• Kusuka ekusukeleni ama-benzos kuya ekululameni

AmaBenzodiazepines afana neXanax anikela kuma-opioid overdoses. Kwenzeka kimi.

Sibona kanjani ukwakheka komhlaba esikhetha ukuba yibo - futhi nokwabelana ngamava acindezelayo kungakha indlela esiphathana ngayo, ibe ngcono. Lo ngumbono onamandla.

Lapho ngiphaphama ekudleni ngokweqile kwe-heroin yami yokuqala, ngacwiliswa kubhavu obanda kakhulu. Ngezwa ukunxusa kwesoka lami uMark, izwi lakhe lingimemeza ukuba ngivuke.

Ngokushesha lapho amehlo ami evuleka, wangiphakamisa wangikhipha kubhavu wangisondeza kimi. Ngangingakwazi ukunyakaza, ngakho wangithwala wangisa e-futon yethu, wangomisa, wangigqokisa izingubo zokulala, wangisonga ngengubo engiyithandayo.

Sithukile, sithule. Ngisho noma ngangisebenzisa izidakamizwa ezinzima, ngangingafuni ukufa ngineminyaka engama-28 kuphela ubudala.

Lapho ngiqalaza, ngamangala lapho ifulethi lethu elithokomele lasePortland lizizwa njengendawo yobugebengu kunekhaya. Esikhundleni sephunga elijwayelekile eliduduzayo le-lavender nempepho, umoya wawunuka njengokuhlanza neviniga okupheka i-heroin.

Itafula lethu lekhofi lalivame ukuba nezinto zobuciko, kepha manje lase ligcwele imijovo, izinkezo ezishisiwe, ibhodlela le-benzodiazepine ebizwa ngeKlonopin, kanye ne-baggie ye-black tar heroin.

UMark wangitshela ukuthi ngemuva kokuqhuma i-heroin, ngangiyeka ukuphefumula futhi ngaba luhlaza okwesibhakabhaka. Kwakufanele athathe isinyathelo ngokushesha. Sasingekho isikhathi se-911. Wanginika isibhamu se-opiate overdose reversal iNaloxone esasiyithole ekushintshaneni ngenaliti.

Kungani ngeqile? Sasisebenzise inqwaba efanayo ye-heroin ekuqaleni kwalolo suku futhi sasikala ngokucophelela imithamo yethu. Edidekile, waskena itafula wangibuza, “Ngabe uthathe uKlonopin ekuqaleni kwanamuhla?”

Angizange ngikhumbule, kodwa kufanele ngibe nakho - yize ngangazi ukuthi ukuhlanganisa iKlonopin neheroin kungaba yinhlanganisela ebulalayo.

Zombili lezi zidakamizwa ziyizicindezeli zesistimu yezinzwa eziphakathi, ngakho ukuzihlanganisa kungadala ukwehluleka kokuphefumula. Ngaphandle kwale ngozi, abasebenzisi abaningi be-heroin basathatha ama-benzos isigamu sehora ngaphambi kokudubula i-heroin ngoba inomphumela wokusebenzisana, okuqinisa okuphezulu.

Yize ukuphuza ngokweqile kwami ​​kwakusethusa, saqhubeka nokusebenzisa. Sazizwa singenakunqotshwa, sivikelekile emiphumeleni.

Abanye abantu babulawa ukweqisa ngokweqile - hhayi thina. Ngaso sonke isikhathi lapho ngangicabanga ukuthi izinto ngeke zisaba zimbi, sasizika ekujuleni okusha.

Ukufana phakathi kobhadane lwe-opioid ne-benzo

Ngeshwa, indaba yami iya ngokuya ivame.

I-U.S. National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) yathola ngo-1988 ukuthi amaphesenti angama-73 abasebenzisi be-heroin basebenzisa ama-benzodiazepines kaningi ngesonto isikhathi esingaphezu konyaka.

Ukuhlanganiswa kwama-opiates nama-benzodiazepines kube nomthelela kumaphesenti angaphezu kwama-30 wama-overdoses akamuva.

Ngo-2016, isexwayiso mayelana nobungozi bokuhlanganiswa kwale mithi emibili. Esikhundleni sokukhanyisa ngalezi zingozi, ukusakazwa kwabezindaba kuvame ukusola ukweqisa kwi-heroin ehlanganiswe ne-fentanyl. Kubonakala sengathi kunendawo kuphela yobhadane olulodwa kwabezindaba.

Ngokujabulisayo, imibiko yabezindaba isanda kuqala ukuqwashisa ngokufana okukhona phakathi kobhubhane lwe-opiate ne-benzodiazepine.

Indatshana yakamuva kwifayela le- I-New England Journal of Medicine uxwayisa ngemiphumela ebulalayo yokusebenzisa i-benzodiazepine ngokweqile nokusebenzisa kabi. Ngokuqondile, ukufa okubangelwa yi-benzodiazepines kukhuphuke kasikhombisa kule minyaka engamashumi amabili edlule.

Ngasikhathi sinye, imiyalo ye-benzodiazepine inyuke kakhulu, nge.

Yize ama-benzodiazepines afana neXanax, iKlonopin, ne-Ativan elutha kakhulu, futhi asebenza kakhulu ekwelapheni isithuthwane, ukukhathazeka, ukuqwasha, nokuhoxiswa kotshwala.

Ngenkathi kwethulwa ama-benzos ngawo-1960, athathwa njengesidakamizwa esiyisimangaliso futhi ahlanganiswa nomphakathi ojwayelekile. AbakwaRolling Stones baze babungaza ama-benzos engomeni yabo yango-1966 ethi “Mother’s Little Helper,” ngaleyo ndlela isiza ukuwenza ajwayelekile.

Ngo-1975, odokotela baqaphela ukuthi ama-benzodiazepines ayelutha kakhulu. I-FDA ibabeke njengezinto ezilawulwayo, incoma ukuthi ama-benzodiazepines asetshenziswe kuphela kusuka emavikini amabili kuya kwamane ukuvimbela ukuncika komzimba nokulutha.

Kusuka ekusukeleni ama-benzos kuya ekululameni

Nganikezwa ngezikhathi ezithile i-benzodiazepines iminyaka eyisithupha, yize ngangithembekile kodokotela bami ngomlando wami wokuba umlutha wotshwala. Lapho ngithuthela ePortland, udokotela wami omusha wezifo zengqondo wanginika i-cocktail yanyanga zonke yamaphilisi afaka i-30 Klonopin yokwelapha ukukhathazeka kanye ne-60 temazepam yokwelapha ukuqwasha.

Inyanga ngayinye usokhemisi wayehlola kabili ama-slips kadokotela futhi wangixwayisa ukuthi le mithi yayiyinhlanganisela eyingozi.

Bekufanele ngilalele usokhemisi ngiyeke ukuphuza amaphilisi, kodwa ngiyithandile indlela angenze ngayo ngazizwa. I-Benzodiazepines ibushelelezi imiphetho yami: isula izinkumbulo ezihlukumezayo zokuhlukunyezwa ngokocansi nokuhlaselwa kanye nobuhlungu bokuhlukana.

Ekuqaleni, ama-benzos aqeda ngaso leso sikhathi ubuhlungu nokukhathazeka kwami.Ngayeka ukwethuka futhi ngalala amahora ayisishiyagalombili ebusuku esikhundleni samahlanu. Kepha ngemuva kwezinyanga ezimbalwa, nabo baqeda izinkanuko zami.

Isoka lami lathi: “Udinga ukuyeka ukuphuza lawo maphilisi. Uyigobolondo lakho, angazi ukuthi kwenzekeni kuwe, kodwa akuyena lona. ”

I-Benzodiazepines yayingumkhumbi we-rocket owawungingenisa endaweni engiyithandayo: ukukhohlwa.

Ngisebenzise amandla ami "ekujaheni udrako." Esikhundleni sokuya kuma-mics avulekile, ukubhala ama-workshops, ukufundwa, nemicimbi, ngaceba izindlela zokuthola ama-benzos ami.

Ngashayela udokotela ucingo ngamtshela ukuthi ngiya eholidini futhi ngidinga amaphilisi ami kusenesikhathi. Lapho othile engena emotweni yami, ngangibika ukuthi amaphilisi ami entshontshiwe ukuze ngigcwaliswe ngokushesha. Lokhu kwakungamanga. Ibhodlela lami lama-benzos alizange lishiye uhlangothi lwami, babehlala beboshwe kimi.

Ngagcina okungeziwe ngakufihla ekamelweni lami. Ngangazi ukuthi lokhu kwakuwukuziphatha 'kwezidakamizwa' kwezincwadi. Kepha bengikude kakhulu nokwenza noma yini ngakho.

Ngemuva kweminyaka embalwa ngisebenzisa ama-benzos ne-heroin, ngafika endaweni lapho ngakwazi khona ukuthatha isinqumo sokukhipha ubuthi emzimbeni. Odokotela bangitshele ukuthi ngeke ngisabekelwa ama-benzos futhi ngangena ekuzihoxiseni ngokushesha.

Ukuhoxa kwebenzo kwakukubi kakhulu kunogwayi - ngisho neheroin. Ukuhoxa kweHeroin kudume ngokuthi kubuhlungu futhi kunzima, kunemiphumela emibi ebonakalayo ebonakalayo njengokujuluka okukhulu, imilenze engazoli, ukuqhaqhazela nokuhlanza.

Ukuhoxa kukaBenzo akucaci kangako ngaphandle, kepha kuyinselele enkulu ngokwengqondo. Ngangikhulise ukukhathazeka, ukuqwasha, ukucasuka, nokukhala ezindlebeni zami.

Ngangibathukuthelele odokotela ababenginikeze ama-benzos amaningi okokuqala eminyakeni embalwa yokuqala yokwelulama kwami. Kodwa angibasoli ngemilutha yami.

Ukuze ngilulame ngokweqiniso, bekudingeka ngiyeke ukusola bese ngiqala ukuthatha umthwalo wemfanelo.

Angihlanganyeli indaba yami njengenganekwane yokuxwayisa. Ngiyabelana ngakho ukuze ngiqede ukuthula kanye nokucwaswa okuzungeze ukulutha.

Ngaso sonke isikhathi lapho sabelana ngezindaba zethu zokusinda, sikhombisa ukuthi ukululama kungenzeka. Ngokwandisa ukuqwashisa ngokuzungeza i-benzo kanye ne-opioid nokululama, singasindisa izimpilo.

UTessa Torgeson ubhala imemori mayelana nokulutha nokululama ngombono wokunciphisa ukulimala. Ukubhala kwakhe kushicilelwe ku-inthanethi eThe Fix, Manifest Station, Role / Reboot, nakwabanye. Ufundisa ukuqamba nokubhala ngobuciko esikoleni sokululama. Ngesikhathi sakhe samahhala, udlala isiginci se-bass futhi uxosha ikati lakhe, uLuna Lovegood.
